How much cinnamon is required. I’ve found a tablet that has 1000mg cinnamon along with other herbs and minerals, vitamins. Or is it best just powdered cinnamon if I can find it?

In one of my newsletters, it is mentioned that the cinnamon in the grocery store is not cinnamon verum, but cinnamon cassia which contains coumarin. Do you know how to detoxify it to remove that and its other toxic trace components?

Great info as usual! How about a DAILY episode of PC Reality TV?

Yup, I admit it, as complicated as it was! I was surely spiking my ginger tea with cinnamon after watching PC Realty TV tonight! Tastes good and I felt even BETTER than usual afterwards. Knew this spice was good for ya, but I didn’t know how good.

Our daughter watched and was happy, happy because she could do this, no problemo! She already loves cinnamon & will now probably attempt overdosing on it. Me, too…hehehe!

BTW, Apples & Tea boxes!?!

U so crazy!

Love that. Thanks!

The feedback is MUCH appreciated! Daily…Ouch! I have a hard time with schedules. But they will be consistent! Let me know what topics you are looking for.  Keep rockin’! And Live Young.

All of these coumarin concerns are hogwash. Seriously! Nobody has ever died from the Big Pharma funded threat of naturally occurring coumarin. Yet, diabetic are dropping like flies…And they fear coumarin????

I read that in Germany there was consideration being given to restrictive regulation of cinnamon supplements because of coumarin. Seriously!
Big Pharma has a lot of $$$ to lose if more people would figure out how to prevent & manage diabetes naturally. The coumarin bogeyman is the best shot they got at trying to scare people off from sprinkling cinnamon in their food & beverages.
As for me and my household, we will keep sprinklin away.
I don’t recommend swallowing the whole bottle at once. You might end up with a spicy bum. But if anyone is scared or sensitive to the small amounts of naturally occuring coumarin in certain foods, ceylon has almost none and cassia is about 5%, so pick your preferred cinnamon and just start sprinklin away, as much as you like!
Sara, all kinds of cinnamon have been shown to be effective, daily minimun of 1gm, but more is fine as desired and tolerated.
Speaking of tolerated…
I found a blog where someone claimed to consume 3 whole bottles of cinnamon per week. Seriously! Of course I was thinking…Are they were full of it…? What in the world would possess someone to use that much cinnamon?

Oh nO! Cinnamon freakenstein blog…Now that’s scary!

Hi Shane,
Thanks for the great info.
I think I will make an effort
to add cinnamon to my diet just
for preventive measures.

I tried taking cinnamon capsules, but I got such bad heartburn…

Is there another way to take it?

Yep! Just follow the protocol and it works. Thanks everyone for sharing. Gerard, glad it worked for you! Green tea and banaba are great too. But I like to keep it simple. No need to start swallowing a bunch of stuff if you only need one natural cure.

The Coumarin in Cinnamon do not dissolve well in water. It will dissolve in oil and alcohol according to to German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment article.
So to remove Coumarin from cinnamon the alcohol can be used.
The simplest way probably will be to drink cinnamon tea made of cinnamon bark boil in the water. I that case most Coumarin will stay in bark.
The Ceylon cinnamon probably is the best option.

also green capsium..

I have been using cinnamon, tomorrow will be two weeks. I have not noticed any change in my fasting (1st reading in the mornings) other than it has dropped from 115 to 96 which is just under the medical guidline for fasting. In the meantime, I have began using green tea extract. It has worked great, but this does not open my receptors on a permanent basis and it still will let me “go too low” like in the mornings after eating oatmeal with a minamal amount of brown sugar and raisins. Do you have any suggestions?
