I was wondering if anyone knows anything about pancreatic tumors, more specifically insulinomas -- functional tumors in the pancreas, usually benign, that secrete insulin and cause severe (often life-threatening) hypoglycemia?
My dad, age 62, has never suffered from hypoglycemia nor diabetes (though he has had chronic congestion and on and off coughs for about five years). For the last few years, though, he has had severe low blood sugar and has almost lost consciousness, the episodes are more frequent now. He has not been formally diagnosed, (specialists are two hours away from where we live and the trip would pose a problem since his blood sugar swings wildly up and down) but testing (so far) and doctors seem to think it is an insulinoma in his pancreas. He is having low blood sugar "episodes" on a daily basis that scare him and the entire family. We quickly give him honey, pepsi, grape juice to raise the blood sugar and it stabilizes, but only to crash again. And he is eating something small every hour. (He's always feeling full and has gained a lot of weight.) For 5 or 6 months he has taken chaga tea, as it is anti-tumor, but it does not seem to be helping. In the last few weeks, he's had episodes of double vision with accompanying headaches -- pain in the neck and forehead. It is difficult to supplement and treat the tumor naturally because many herbs and foods seem to lower blood sugar, but we are trying. Any suggestions? Anyone experience anything like this or know of anyone who has had an insulinoma?
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

It looks like your post was written a long time ago. I hope that by now you are better. It looks like you were doing lots of good things to handle and manage stress. Caring for a child can be stressful and caring for one with special needs even more so. Perhaps you might want to look at the nutrition aspect. Some raw milk might help with the stress as well as B-vitamins and foods that contain calcium magnesium or a magnesium supplement. Sometimes good old fashioned butter spread on a small piece of bread does wonders. My favorite butter right now is Kerrygold. Rich yellow color means more nutrients. A swig of nettle infusion in my raw milk always seems to help me when I feel like I can no longer withstand the stress. And some veggie soup helps to ease my stress as well -- 2 cups of chicken stock, 1 cup of water, a handful of green beans, 1 chopped zuccinni and a cup of celery. Boil, add 3 tbsps of tomato sauce, 1 tbsp. honey and 1/2 tsp of paprika and salt to taste. Let simmer for about 45 minutes. It really does wonders to help the adrenal glands that take a toll with the stress we are under. Hope you are feeling better by now, and if not, these suggestions might help. Best of luck to you.

Its virus killing gifts should be good even against corona, even if it is of like a cold virus.
I got respiratory problems deep in my lungs, not up in the throat. That is a corona symptom. I am 51 years old, not in risk group. I drank infusion of linden and chaga (separat brews) every day and was symptom free after about five days. I had no other corona symptoms.
