I would tend to agree with Gracie. Please avoid using words like 'healed'.

The two products mentioned have some proven merits as preventative measures but not cures once the disease process has begun. The first one is a fiber blend product and fiber (soluble) is good at binding to glucose etc. and should be part of anyone's daily habits. But you can get soluble fiber in many forms and you don't need supplements to obtain (Fiber one brand cereal, bread etc.)

The second product resveratrol has been shown to have some possible benefits (found in red wine, search:the French paradox etc.) but so far no positive human results have been found when resveratrol has been used outside the natural products.

I'm not discounting homeopathic solutions but please discuss them with your doctor before considering.
