Just what the title says really.
I'm T1 diabetic and becoming quite interested in natural health. I realise I can't cure my condition but a change in diet has really helped - as has things such as green tea and cinnamon purported to help control blood sugar. However when mentioned to my doctor that they help I get a very patronising 'that's nice but I really don't think so' head tilt.
I'm just so confused. On one hand the Government issue five a day advice and then on the other and anything 'natural' to help with disease is scoffed at by the medical profession.
What are people's views on this? Anyone else been really helped by diet etc for a chronic condition?

Anyone believe in the power of natural remedies/foods to treat disease? I'm curious and confused.
