My husband has noticed several things about me; #1) I have put on substantial weight since I stopped smoking ten years ago. #2) My legs are getting increasingly weak. #3) I have a history of diabetes in my family tree. #4) My husband, and myself, like to find natural cures whenever possible. #5) My temper with my husband as well as my grand children has suffered dramatically! #6 I m thinking of buying a stairlift for our home as I really don t like to admit my husband was right when he warned me nine years ago that at 142lbs I was getting a bit heavier than usual and now-WOW I m pushing over 160lbs! Can there be a natural cure, not a symptom hider, that I can aquire to keep my body in balance? I have some heart pain occasionally also. Any help, or advice, you give me will NOT be considered as a replacement for seeing my family doctor. God bless you all!
