Dbx-13 Scam (Page 7)
(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.

I am a diabetic for 25 years and has been on almost all diabetic medications; i.e. Metformin (2000mg), Glipizide, Actos, Januvia, Jardiance, Lantus Injection, and other tablets over the years which I can't recall, but the latest I was taking were Metformin (2000mg/day), Glipizide, Januvia, and Jardiance, which I stopped taking and replaced them with Phase 2 (carbo blocker) and cinnamon capsules. My blood sugar before was uncontrollable, which led to my having the stroke in 2008. Last month I stumbled on an internet infomercial just like the one some of you are talking in this chat-line and mentioning about the Phase 2 and Cinnamon, which made me start my new regimen without consulting my doctor. At this point my blood sugar is very much under control, a happening I have never seen in my 25 years of suffering this diabetes. I thank the Good Lord for this relief and I am a happy camper.

I practice nutritional medicine at First Choice Nutrition & Wellness.
Type 1 will never get off insulin; they simply do not make any. However, eating clean with a correct exercise, sleep and hydration program help anyone's health immensely. There is no magic pill...

Well, I do have a friend who started working with Medifast . . . she lost over a hundred pounds and her doctor removed her subcutaneous insulin pump. Infact she is off insulin completely. I myself lost a total of 70 lbs and went off BP meds. And it is a logical and natural process of limiting intake and getting the right nutrition. My first week I lost 10 lbs, and 5 lbs every week after . . . the program is each day you need to ahve five 100 calorie snacks every three hours and then one "Lean and green meal . . . 5 oz. of protein (meat or fish) and a big salad - and vegetables

I have been receiving the HSI newsletter for years. I always find some nugget of information that I can use. Since I am over 60, I get the subscription for 1/2 price.

This is supposed to be a site to help diabetics. For those of you who have nothing better to do than waste other peoples' time telling people how 'ignorant' they are, please just shut up!!

Let me get this right, because it is a blog it requires no consideration as to spelling and grammar, yet its purpose is to articulate or answer an issue! Interesting approach to say the least.

I have been using syntra 5 for blood sugar control for about a month. It was recommended by HSI. It has not dropped my numbers at all, not a single point. Okra does drop my points but I found that on another diabetes site. They can't sell Okra.

Thank all of you for your reviews. I was about to buy the book miracles from the vault but decided to do what comes natural and go on the web to see what everyone was saying about it. I have come to the decision that when I see anything being advertised that takes someone fifteen minutes of my time to describe how great it is I will just ignore it. Keep in mind it sure seems like there really is no truth in advertising. Do your own investigation into what works for you. Life is too short to listen to bulls***.

The only thing i know for sure is that I know nothing for sure. It is impossible for the average citizen to figure out what the "truth" is on any given subject. In the end you try and do diligent research, compile evidence and testimony, and then take your best guess.
Personally I try and avoid people who think that everything is a conspiracy and that the world is run by the "13 families,"
