Dbx-13 Scam (Page 4)
(Newest replies first)

In January 2013 - I recently purchased a subscription to the Health Sciences Institute (HSI) newsletter and got the book "Miracles from the Vault." I scoured the pages to find DBX-13 which they advertised as the diabetes miracle cure, and couldn't find it anywhere. I called HSI, and after three attempts and by threatening to take them to court for false advertising, a response finally came by email. DBX-13 is called X-Cravings. But get this... it is no longer being manufactured. X-Cravings appears to be a formula to help you stop craving food... a diet product... and I guess they apparently felt this would help you lose weight which would help your diabetes. I placed a call to the manufacturer of X-Cravings, Nutricology. Tel: (800)545-9960 who claims they don't know that X-Cravings was called DBX-13 by HSI, and they said they discontinued X-Cravings last year (2013). They also don't have a replacement product for it either. I hate when companies like HSI scam you by offering you hope that doesn't exist, which is why I am posting this information.

Just become vegan and no high holesterol any more. Many health problems will disappear. After 3 month becoming vegan I lost 13 pounds ( I didn't need it) and my holesterol went Dow from 129 to 80.
Food in America - it what makes us sick the most.

Spam for DBX-13 is still around. It's supposed to help you lose 10-35 pounds and drop your blood sugar to normal in 30 minutes. You can still eat what you want. It claims to also regrow your bones!

How much of each are you taking? Is it in pill form? Any specific brand on those supplements?

Electronic communications are ruining the English language. Just because a message is a so called " blog" does not excuse the writer from using correct, spelling, pronunciation and grammar. Young people using their phones as their major means of communication are going to grow up with a total lack of grasp of what my generation used to call English. I shudder at what I see sometimes and it is now spreading into the printed media.

Your right they wouldn't hide cures but they would, and have been for years, pushed prescriptions for that almighty dollar! Many that don't do what they've claimed. Let's not be naive about that either.

If anyone cared to look beyond the scam crap and fear generation (simple wording to watch for that all scams use - such as HSI) you would get to realize that the supplement industry in the US is pushing $100 billion a year in mostly useless or
excessive stuff. People who buy into the fear and hate stuff about Pharma / FDA are clueless about how a human body really works and how to impact it. Just use your brain and think about the fact that real medical doctors, FDA people and pharma people also die of cancer. Do you really think they would hide cures? If yes you deserve the delusion and to rob yourself of good care that could be had. If you ever really witnessed the health situation of these "ancient medicine" cultures, you would not want to follow their herbal approach!! The US still has the best medical system in the world, even though the encroachment of supplement and scam companies since late 1990's has caused the US life expectancy to level and now drop for the first time since 1900!! People pushed away from medical treatment are dying un-necessarily!!

Regarding HSI, I'm afraid it's the same old sales pitch as so many of these 'health', alternative, and self-help sites use. 'Watch this video now'....... Interminable, repetitive, patronizing, instilling fear of imminent death....'in just a moment I will tell you what this miracle cure actually is but first let me tell you about....' etc etc. Then comes the hook, and you know that the sales pitch is coming - 'buy now 50% discount until tomorrow'... It's exhausting and time-consuming. We just need the facts so that we can make up our own minds. Best to research everything as thoroughly as possible.

Roger 15 yr. Diabetic - DMX-13 is one big HOAX being falsely advertised and pushed by SCAMS in all Nations then disappears! FORGET IT ! WHAT DOES WORK and helps me for almost 5 years now as of 10/25/2016 & I'm 69, CINNAMON 2000+ mg per day minimum up to 4000+ with LEMON & eat all the Broccoli you want. Take the Cinnamon anytime you want and the Lemon also, but you have to eat only Smoked Turkey, Fish & Chicken (skinless baked or Microwaved) & you have to eat Jiffy Peanut butter to get all the protein you need also and Eggs. Forget Bananas, Carrots, Corn and only ONE slice of BREAD a Day! Yes you can have Diet Pepsi, POP CORN! Cheat every week ONE day and have whatever TREAT you've done without. I choose Pumpkin Pie or Apple Pie, and GUT the whole thing in ONE night leaving the lower Crust only, but take 4000mg of Cinnamon and it works. YES I eat the WHOLE pie! Of course you'll see a Spike 225 to 275, SO WHAT, it goes right back DOWN! NOW GO LIVE YOUR LIFE, don't worry so much, you have Diabetes, control it. Just KNOW that it could kill you one day! Be thankful! Most people have to wonder what's going to kill them!! :o)

Sherri, I have been waiting for an answer to this basic question for months, so don't hold your breath. Must have either been someone who only visited this website once or just another big serving of bologna.

Thank you so very much. I was just online last night seriously considering ordering this program, but something told me to check it out. I also have type 2 diabetes and always looking for something to get off of medications. I know losing weight would help, but it's so darn difficult. Again, thanks for your input.

The three ingredients you mention, okra, bitter melon and cinnamon can all be found in caplet form. I usually buy whatever supplements I take from Amazon or other health supplement sites such as Swanson or iHerb. If you Google the supplement you are looking for and add the word "caplet" or "pill" you usually find what you are looking for. I always try to read the reviews as well before I buy. There are some honest folks out there that will give you good information.

Good luck with your quest for better health!

I have been taking Gymnema Sylvestre for about two years. It is most certainly a "sugar killer" pill. I take the Source Naturals 450 mg two times a day. Along with this I take 1000 mcg of Chromium 1X/day. It helps reduce cell resistance to insulin. I also take 500 mg of cinnamon 2X a day (morning and evening meals). For my numb feet (no longer numb) and tingly legs (just barely tingly now) I take Cayenne Pepper (40,000 HU) 2X a day (again, one pill with breakfast and 1 pill with dinner).

My A1C has dropped from 12% to 5.5% over the last 5 years. Whether this regimen would work with you is anyone's guess.

I'm not positive, but I believe pharmaceutical companies do sometimes use natural ingredients in certain pills. If that is true, then I would believe that at least 1 of the companies, (if not all) would create a product containing "gurmar" to fight diabetes and at the same time make lots of money. I think that will be a win-win situation. Also, if I'm mistaken about that, my other thought is why doesn't another (non pharmaceutical-non FDA approved) company make the product? They might have a lot less red tape, lobbying, restrictions and liabilities than a big name pharmacy.

I am glad l read your experience about DBX-13 because l was ready to join HSI. Thank you for your honesty. I guess the government don't want to see any natural cure for anything. That wouldn't be good for the pharmaceutical business,that's why they won't let any one come up with a nutural cure for anything.
