Micozzi
His medical career is all but unrivaledespecially given his vast and unique mixture of experience within mainstream medicine and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). For this last part I would like to cover Diabetes and how CAM can help.

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)

Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting millions of Americans. Conventional medical treatments are available to control diabetes and its complications. However, some people also try complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies, including dietary supplements.

Dietary Supplements and Type 2 Diabetes

Some people with diabetes use CAM therapies for their health condition. For example, they may try : acupuncture or biofeedback to help with painful symptoms. Some use dietary supplements in efforts to improve their blood glucose control, manage symptoms, and lessen the risk of developing serious complications such as heart problems.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid
This is an antioxidanta substance that protects against cell damage. ALA is found in certain foods, such as liver, spinach, broccoli, and potatoes.

Some people with type 2 diabetes take ALA supplements in the hope of lowering blood glucose levels by improving the bodys ability to use insulin; others use ALA to prevent or treat diabetic neuropathy (a nerve disorder). or capsules.

Chromium

Some people with diabetes take chromium in an effort to improve their blood glucose control Chromium supplementation has been researched for its effect on glucose control in people with diabetes. Study results have been mixed. At low doses, short-term use of chromium appears to be safe for most adults. However, people with diabetes should be aware that chromium might cause blood sugar levels to go too low..
