Author: Eihna Dutch
Gymnema Sylvestre – is a stroke of plants growing in tropical forests of Central and South India. The leaves are used in preparing herbal medicines. The plants, when chewed, the actual blocks of sugar receptor sites, explaining gurmar not name or “sugar destroyer.” Gymnema is used in the Philippines for the treatment of diabetes for over 2,000 years. The leaves are also used for stomach ailments, constipation, water retention and liver disease.
-research / “> current research, gymnema improves uptake of glucose into cells and prevents adrenaline from stimulating the liver to produce glucose, thereby reducing blood sugar levels. According to diabetes / diabetes-research / “> the current research, gymnema improving glucose uptake in cells and prevents adrenaline from stimulating the liver to produce glucose, thereby reducing blood sugar. Although the gross comment at Harvard
Medical School in conjunction with the Natural Standard, an organization that produces scientifically based reviews of auxiliary and alternative medicine topics, states, “There is evidence to suggest that gymnema can lower levels of blood sugar in people with Type I and Type II diabetes. ” It is meaningful to say the least. Harvard has told gymnema Sylvestre can even affect glucose levels in those with type I diabetes?
Remember, approximately 2 million people with type I diabetes in America today. Conditions involves the pancreas not producing enough insulin. Then we have the publication of Yale University called the Yale New Haven Health. Therein they state, “Gymnema Sylvestre often improve blood sugar control in diabetics. Although no interactions have been reported, gymnema may decrease the required dose of insulin.”
From the Journal of endocrinology in November 1999 the School of Biomedical Sciences, King’s College, London, England, Drs. SJ Persaud and PM Jones states, “Results confirm the stimulatory effect of gymnema
Sylvestre insulin release indicate that the herb that acts by increasing cell permeability. ”
Finally, from Ethnopharmacol Journal, October 1990, is Dr. Shanmugasundaram, et al, from University of Madras, India, states, “Gymnema Sylvestre therapy appears to enhance endogenous insulin,
possibly by regeneration and / or Revitalization of residual beta cells in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. ”
that normally requires one to inject insulin for life. Again, we are talking about Type I diabetes, the type of diabetes that normally requires one to inject insulin for life. Now we have Harvard Medical School and the University of Madras in India telling us gymnema Sylvestre lowers glucose in type I diabetic with possible regenerating beta cells? It is really exciting.
You think Dr. Chappell had enough evidence to stop right here. But he has not done his research. From cinnamon, bitter melon in gymnema, he wanted more insurance. He wanted something that is always less glucose. So keeping him experiment and decided to add nopal maid.
