I got the cinnamon force today like i mentioned last week I was getting. I can already feel it kicking my cravings in the butt! Each night around 8/9pm I have a coffee craving and before dinner I set the coffee maker, well right after eating I took my cinnamon force and I dont have ANY cravings for ANYTHING not even for my coffee .

Cinnamonforce promotes healthy weight management by helping glucose do its primary work - creating immediate cellular energy - rather than ending up as "stored" potential energy in the form of fat deposits. Cinnamon is known to control sugar cravings too

Research has linked the copper-colored stuff with reduced blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in people with type 2 diabetes, and a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that adding a little more than a teaspoon to rice pudding even helped tame blood sugar in people without diabetes. Dr. Kulze says cinnamon also contains polyphenols, antioxidants that create healthier arteries and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The spice's energizing scent has also been found to help increase alertness.

Tammy - Cinnamon is extremely beneficial for many things - circulatory system issues, digestive system issues etc. In conjunction with honey, the mixture is thought to cure just about anything!


It is found that mixture of Honey and Cinnamon cures most of the diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world.
Ayurvedic as well as Yunani medicine have been using honey as a vital medicine for centuries. Scientists of today also accept honey as a "Ram Ban" (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, on its issue dated 17 January, 95 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by Honey and Cinnamon as researched by western scientists.
HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, chappati, or other bread, instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heartbeat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as age the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalizes the arteries and veins.
ARTHRITIS:
Take one part honey to two parts of lukewarm water and add a small teaspoon of cinnamon powder, make a paste and massage it on the itching part of the body slowly. It is noticed that the pain recedes within a minute or two.
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured.
In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week out of the 200 people so treated practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.
HAIR LOSS:
Those suffering from hair loss or baldness, may apply a paste of hot olive oil, one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder before bath and keep it for approx. 15 min. and then wash the hair. It was found to be effective even if kept on for 5 minutes.
BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.
TOOTHACHE:
Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be applied 3 times a day till the tooth stops aching.
CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within 2 hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken 3 times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. As per information received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complains of cholesterol.
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the sinuses.
INFERTILITY:
Yunani and Ayurvedic Medicine have been using honey for thousands of years to strengthen the semen of men. If impotent men regularly take two tablespoon of honey before going to sleep, their problem will be solved.
In China, Japan and Far-East countries, women, who do not conceive and need to strengthen the uterus, have been taking cinnamon powder for centuries. Women who cannot conceive may take a pinch of cinnamon powder in half teaspoon of honey and apply it on the gums frequently throughout the day, so that it slowly mixes with the saliva and enters the body.
A couple in Maryland, USA, had no children for 14 years and had lost hope of having a child of their own. When told about this process husband and wife started taking honey and cinnamon as stated above, the wife conceived after a few months and had twins at full term.
UPSET STOMACH:

Rac - Thanks for posting that. For my correspondence course I'm taking "health for life" and I have to write a 3 page report on any one health topic and I choose Diabetes. I went into GNC to get a box of Atkins bars for my diet and they were offering samples of the cinnamonforce and I tried it and at that time I had really bad breath LOL. I noticed a difference even hrs after I took it(brushing doesnt normally help and that's why they say on Atkins to chew gum ). The 1st phase of atkins gives you really bad breath cause your body is buring stored fat and ketons are being release through the breath. I knew cinnamon was good for you, but I was shocked about it helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and that is why i wanted to try it. I got a phaplet(sp?) on the cinnamon force in GNC too and it stated that Cinnamon helps combat Diabetes. I will be using that info in my report also .

WOW if only I could take honey to test this one out. Although I dont think it could help severed nerves since I have 22% hearing in my right ear. Would be a dream come true for me to hear normally again.

HEARING LOSS: Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder taken in equal parts restore hearing.

Just as a FYI - All of the powdered cinnamon sold in supermarkets in the US is actually Cassia. You don't want to be eating tons of that. Cassia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

edit: I guess the studies done have been with cassia and not actual cinnamon. Just becareful as some beleive that cassia has a toxic component called coumarin.

I tried the cinnamon/honey 'tea' morning and night yesterday. I think I may have used too much, though. Anyway, in the morning, I had SO much energy, however at night I had crazy dreams and very broken sleep for the first few hours. I think next time I won't drink it so close to bedtime and see how that works. I need to buy batteries for my scale, so I don't even know what I weigh now. I'll have to get some and see if this concoction has any effect.

How did you make your tea?
