Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Altern.ative Treatments for Diabetes The FDA - Who Do They Really Protect? by James DeMeo, Ph.D. Anti-Constitutional Activities and Abuse of Police Power by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other Federal Agencies --- BITTER MELON AS ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT FOR DIABETES Momordica charantia Bitter melon, Momordica charantia, has been used in the Orient as a traditional medicine for diabetes, gastrointestinal therapy, cancer and viral infections. In Myanmar (Burma), China and India, it is highly prized for its anti-diabetic activity. Myanmar traditional physicians prescribe bitter melon to diabetic patients. Doctors in India are so confident of bitter melon's positive effect on diabetes, they dispense bitter melon in some of the most modern hospitals. According to James Duke of U.S Department of Agriculture, bitter melon has attained favor in China as a monoherbal medicine for diabetes mellitus. Bitter melon has twice the potassium of bananas, and it has been shown to increase the number of beta cells, those which produce insulin, in the pancreas. Common names and their associated cultures are: Bitterweed -- Southeastern US; Serasee -- Carribean islands; Bitter melon -- Oriental immigrants to the US; Carillon -- Latin America; Mexicane -- Cajun " traeteur " of Louisiana, USA; Kho Qua -- Vietnam; K'u Kua -- China; ampalayo -- Phillipines; Kukakaya -- India. Also known as: Balsam Pear, Boston Apple, Bitter Gourd, Bitter Cucumber, Concombre Amer. PREPARATION- Bitter melon is available through most Filipino and/or Asian grocery stores, and some farmers markets. Because the plant is seasonal and is difficult to grow in the winter, it is sometimes sold frozen. The appropriate method of administering bitter melon is to make the extract from the fruit, vines, and leaves of the plant and either drink it as a juice, tea or administer it as a retention enema. Momordica charantia (Bitter melon): Therapeutic Actions, Clinical Indications, and more Diabetic and Other Metabolic Neuropathies Abstracts THE INFLUENCE OF MOMORDICA CHARANTIA FRUIT JUICE Serasee is believed to work in a holistic manner. It is believed to work best if your food and water are clean and natural, and your heart and mind are pure. If you eat foods with a lot of chemicals it won't work so well. If you are full of toxins, use sparingly at first, as purification reactions may be strong Mormodica works from the subtlest levels to adjust you toward health, and works best with your total cooperation in the way of diet, attitude, etc. ===================================================================== Natural Treatments for Diabetes- http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/diabetes.htm Glucose-lowering drugs usually succeed in lowering blood sugar levels, but may increase the *death* rate from heart attacks.

WASHINGTON -- Newly obtained internal documents show that Warner-Lambert Co. executives who promoted the diabetes pill Rezulin masked early indications of the drug's danger to the liver from federal regulators and later delayed sharing information about its lethal toxicity with family doctors. The newly acquired materials show that company management rebuffed employees who questioned liver-injury totals from clinical studies that excluded 38% of the cases. At the time, Warner-Lambert was assuring doctors nationwide that the drug was as safe as a placebo, the harmless pill used as a control in medical testing. The story of the Food and Drug Administration's handling of Rezulin is well known. After the agency gave the drug " fast-track " approval in early 1997, scores of " liver-related " deaths were linked to the pill. Rezulin was withdrawn from the U.S. market in March 2000. By then, it had generated $2.1 billion in sales for Warner-Lambert. (You can read the full story Hidden Risks, Lethal Truths at the LA Times' website, but you will be required to register - it's free) " The medical establishment works closely with the drug multinationals whose main objective is profits, and whose worst nightmare would be an epidemic of good health. Lots of drugs MUST be sold. In order to achieve this, anything goes: lies, fraud, and kickbacks. Doctors are the principal salespeople of the drug companies. They are rewarded with research grants, gifts, and lavish perks. The principal buyers are the public - from infants to the elderly - who MUST be thoroughly medicated and vaccinated...at any cost! Why do the authorities forbid alternative medicine? Because they are serving the industry, and the industry cannot make money with herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot patent natural remedies. That is why they push synthetics. They control medicine, and that is why they are able to tell medical schools what they can and cannot teach. " Results of GLA (gamma linolenic acid) as found in flax oil and evening primrose oil supplementation in diabetics truly astounding Stein et al, in their research at the Department of Internal Medicine, Center for Diabetes Research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Dallas Texas have conclusively demonstrated the vital importance of oils that contain the essential Omega three fatty acids. These Omega three's as well as an important Omega six are the EFA's LNA and LA. When we lack them in our diet, we suffer degenerative disease Research shows the role certain beneficial fatty acids may play in preventing or improving cardiovascular complications attributed to diabetes. " Perhaps of equal or greater importance is the role certain beneficial fatty acids may play in preventing or improving cardiovascular complications attributed to diabetes. Buried in the annals of medicine are extremely optimistic studies attesting to these facts. This information has not been widely publicized in the past because fatty acids are naturally occurring nutrients and can not be patented by pharmaceutical companies and sold at exorbitant prices. In summary, diabetics have been found to possess faulty fatty acid metabolism which may contribute to the cardiovascular complications associated with the disease. Scientific research has established the reduction of certain harmful fats, with the addition of beneficial fatty acids, may offer a significant breakthrough in combating diabetic cardiovascular complications with the potential of significantly lowering health care costs. " The study concluded that all diabetics should be considered for a dietary protocol of GLA. Other conditions shown to benefit include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, skin conditions, arthritis, allergies, weight loss, improved behavior of hyperactive children and increased strength of hair and nails. Diet- " The degenerative disease epidemic that wracks the nation came coincidentally with the introduction of genetically engineered fats and oils (hydrogenated soybean and canola). It is the type of fats and oils that we consume that is directly correlated to the rise of epidemic degenerative disease; it is not the amount of fats and oils that we eat that causes the problem. It is by chronically consuming the fats and oils that cause degenerative disease that we impair our ability to consume healthy fats and oils. We also impair our ability to consume carbohydrates and thus become Diabetic and Obese. Insulin Resistant Diabetes, Hyperinsulinemia, Insulin Resistant Diabetes or Hyperinsulinemia is known to the medical community by the symptoms that it produces. Some of these symptoms are: Atherosclerosis, Vascular disease, Diabetes type 2, Impotence, Kidney Failure, Heart Failure, Liver Damage, Stroke, Obesity, Neuropathy, Retinopathy and Gangrene to name but a few. Hyperinsulinemia is also thought to be implicated in several forms of Cancer and in the epidemic of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) raging through our schools today; although with these latter two diseases, the evidence while quite compelling is not yet completely conclusive. The good news is that although this disease accounts for almost half of the annual death toll from all causes, it is, in most cases, curable- permanently, quickly, economically, completely and often easily and by natural means. That means little or no reliance upon synthetic designer drugs and no ineffective medical treatments for symptoms while causal agents remain untreated. It is now possible to look forward to something other than a rapid decline to invalid status and an early painful death. To cure Hyperinsulinemia, Type II Diabetes, Syndrome X and many other consequential diseases that stem from poisonous fats and oils, it is important to realize that the chronic ingestion of Refined and Hydrogenated fats and oils is implicated as a causal agent in these diseases. Margarine, artificial shortenings, refined oils and all Hydrogenated edible products are long term toxic to the human metabolism. An important consideration about these edible oils is a widespread fraudulent advertising technique that enables the oils manufacturer to sell known toxic oils to the unsuspecting public without breaking the law. Many refined vegetable oils are advertised as polyunsaturated in order to confuse the purchaser. From my own research of the scientific literature when I was forced to find a cure for my own Type II Diabetes, I know that this Trans configuration is a major cause of Type II Diabetes. I also know that the complete removal of these toxic fats and oils and the consumption of therapeutic quantities of the EFA's rapidly leads to reversal of Type II Diabetes. ==================================================================== Defeat Diabetes Without Drugs by Dr. Julian Whitaker Let's not sugarcoat it: Glucose-lowering drugs can do more harm than good.

Diabetes General Description- Diabetes is a condition related to the pancreatic release of Insulin into the blood stream. Insulin controls the amount of glucose/sugar in the blood and the rate at which glucose is metabolized. The cells of the body need glucose to produce energy. Individuals with diabetes do not produce the insulin necessary to properly metabolize the sugars that they eat, causing hyperglycemia, abnormally high blood sugar levels. Prolonged Hyperglycemia leads to damaged blood vessels, which may cause eye disease, heart disease, nerve damage/neuropathy in internal organs and extremities, kidney disease/nephropathy, and foot ulcers. Natural Treatments for Diabetes by Kathi Head This book discusses which herbs and minerals help control blood sugar and reduces your need for insulin, which vitamins help prevent heart and kidney complications, and more. Gives information needed to make decisions about health needs. The Natural Pharmacist: Natural Treatments for Diabetes includes up-to-date information on diabetes and chromium, lipoic acid, evening primrose oil, fenugreek, Gymnema sylvestre, magnesium, Momordica charantia, Coccinia indica, Pterocarpus marssupium, niacinamide, bilberry treatments. --- ---------- THE BITTER TRUTH ABOUT ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS According to researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects of aspartame (Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names, NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure.), the following chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame: Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, parkinson's disease, alzheimer's, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, and diabetes. Sugar Free Products Alert! " I have observed severe intellectual deterioration associated with the use of aspartame products (NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful/Canderal/Benevia, etc.) It was usually manifest as great difficulty in reading and writing, obvious problems with memory and grossly impaired orientation to time, place and person. " H. J. Roberts, M.D. " Aspartame has a profound effect on mood and cognition....depressed mood, anxiety, dizziness, panic attacks, nausea, irritability, impairment of memory and concentration.

Native to Paraguay, Stevia is a herb which has a delicious and refreshing taste that can be 30 times sweeter than sugar. Stevia is extremely nutritious containing such vitamins as Magnesium, Niacin, Potassium, Vitamin C, and more and is used throughout the world as a no-calorie sweetener and in the U.S. as a dietary supplement. Stevia is a safe, all-natural alternative to artificial sweeteners and refined sugar in the diet. It has been used for centuries and consumed safely in massive quantities world-wide for the past 20 years. The Japanese use it in sugar-free versions of Wrigley's gums and diet Coke. Recently there have been studies linking stevia extract with normalization of blood sugar and insulin in diabetics. In China stevia and stevioside is used in herbal medicines and toothpaste. In China, Korea and Japan Stevia extract Stevioside is used as a table top sweetener because it has 0 calories, 0 carbohydrates, 0 fat and is many times sweeter than sugar. Stevia has no fat, no carbohydrates, making it perfect for diabetics, low-carb diets, and people with candida. It has undergone dozens of tests world-wide. -- Diabetes mellitus stems from dietary deficiency of protective humic substances, especially fulvic acids. Scientists found that fulvic acids show significant success in preventing and combating free radical damage to pancratic islet B cells, which is the widely accepted cause for diabetes mellitus. What they discovered was that the Fulvic acid preparation significantly increases superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Their clinical studies show that fulvic acids diminish the development and progression of diabetes, and assisted in the treatment. With fulvic acid, diabetes patients became more energetic and the tingling, painful feeling and numbness experienced in the nerve endings disappeared or were reduced. For centuries people living in isolated villages in the Himalayas and adjoining regions have used preparations made from a rare fulvic acid containing humic substance known as Shilajit, to prevent and combat problems with diabetes. Diabetes is quite uncommon in the isolated mountain villages, yet a brisk trade in these rare fulvic acid containing preparations has expanded in recent years to the traditional doctors in surrounding regions. more A NATURAL HERBAL ALTERNATIVE POWDER for DIABETES Type II Made from Shilajit (mineral pitch) plus 17 bitter tonic, diuretic, alterative, stimulant and rejuvenative ayurveda herbs in a dry powdered form. =====================================================================] Controlling Diabetes Naturally With (Healing With ) by Lynn M. Kuchinski Due to the over-eating of sugars, simple carbohydrates, fats, and oils coupled with too much stress and too little exercise, millions of Westerners are afflicted with diabetes. Sufferers of this disease not only experience the discomforts of fatigue, extreme thirst, extreme hunger and food cravings, polyuria, mood swings, irritability, restless leg syndrome, and heart palpitations, they are also prone to developing blindness, high blood pressure, heart disease, and non-healing ulcers and sores which can lead to amputation. The bad news is that, because of changes in diet and lifestyle, the cases of diabetes in developing countries are on the rise. The good news is that traditional Chinese medicine has many effective therapies for combating this potentially life-threatening disease -- Natural Treatment for Diabetics http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/diabetes.htm Glucose-lowering drugs may succeed in lowering blood sugar levels short term, but they may increase the long term death rate from heart attacks as well. These drugs also are associated with weight gain, elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, drowsiness, and headache.

" Perhaps of equal or greater importance is the role certain beneficial fatty acids may play in preventing or improving cardiovascular complications attributed to diabetes. Buried in the annals of medicine are extremely optimistic studies attesting to these facts. This information has not been widely publicized in the past because fatty acids are naturally occurring nutrients and can not be patented by pharmaceutical companies and sold at exorbitant prices. One such fatty acid, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), is found in nature's most concentrated form as Borage seed oil (24% GLA). The results of GLA supplementation in diabetics are truly astounding, as outlined below. Diabetic neuropathy (a painful nerve disorder resulting from reduced blood flow and subsequent oxygen depravation of the limbs or organs) was reversed in studies conducted by seven medical centers. In a separate, but similar study, 12 patients afflicted with diabetic neuropathy were given 360 mg of GLA daily (the equivalent of two, 1000 mg. Borage oil capsules), while 10 others were given a placebo (inactive substance). After 6 months the GLA group showed statistically significant improvement as compared to the placebo group. In addition, GLA supplementation has been reported to normalize the faulty fatty acid metabolism attributed to diabetes by bypassing the enzyme system responsible for this disorder By doing so the body's response to inflammation, pain and swelling is stabilized. Arterial muscle tone, responsible for blood pressure and optimal circulation, is also regulated by this system. Animal studies conducted with GLA have revealed the normalization of intercellular sorbitol levels. Another study of Type 1 diabetics cited favorable changes in HDL ( " good " cholesterol) and blood platelet adhesiveness In summary, diabetics have been found to possess faulty fatty acid metabolism which may contribute to the cardiovascular complications associated with the disease. Scientific research has established the reduction of certain harmful fats, with the addition of beneficial fatty acids, may offer a significant breakthrough in combating diabetic cardiovascular complications with the potential of significantly lowering health care costs. " The study concluded that all diabetics should be considered for a dietary protocol of GLA. Other conditions shown to benefit include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, skin conditions, arthritis, allergies, weight loss, improved behavior of hyperactive children and increased strength of hair and nails. Dietary restrictions of meat, dairy and eggs during this time has also shown to compliment this regiment. Many would agree with Ms. Gittleman's credo in allowing mother nature to cure our ails before relying on synthetic drugs which often come with side effects.

Vegetarian Cooking for People With Diabetes by Patricia Leshane " Whether I'm cooking for myself, for company, or for a potluck dinner, I can always find something good *and* easy in its pages. The Far East Fried Rice recipe is now my standard (and much-complimented) potluck dish, and several others, including the Easy Lentil Stew, are regulars in my kitchen. Although I was a meat eater and therefore not used to vegetarian cooking when I bought this book, I never found the recipes to call for ingredients I couldn't find at my regular grocery store, or thought that the end products were anything less than delicious. This is more than just a cookbook -- the helpful discussion of nutrition and diabetes at the beginning of the book makes it a good reference, too -- but the recipes are really what makes it special. The cooking directions are brief but thorough and easy to follow. Also, because I am now a vegan, I greatly appreciate the simple and tasty recipes for making alternatives to standard cheese dishes.

Learn more Available B12 methylcobalamin and more information (type methylcobalamin in their search box) Dr. Classen presented data supporting a causal relationship between many different vaccines and the development of insulin diabetes. His data included the pertussis, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, hemophilus influenza and others. The data indicated people with vaccine induced diabetes may not develop the disease until 4 or more years after receiving a vaccine. Lawyers attending the conference and who reviewed the data, advise diabetics to seek legal counsel at once. The government provides compensation for vaccine induced injuries however there is a statute of limitations. Insulin dependent diabetes cost the patient about $1 million over their life time. Type 1 diabetes in Finland compared to the years 1970 to 1976. Doctors started making reports in the medical literature as early as 1949 that some children injected with pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine (now part of the DPT or DTaP shot) were having trouble maintaining normal glucose levels in their blood. Lab research has confirmed that pertussis vaccine can cause diabetes in mice. As diabetes research progressed in the 1960's, 70's and 80's, there were observations that viral infections may be a co-factor in causing diabetes. The introduction of live virus vaccines, such as live MMR vaccine which is made from weakened forms of the live measles, mumps and rubella viruses, has raised questions about whether live vaccine virus could by a co-factor in causing chronic diseases such as diabetes. In 1982, another vaccine was added to the childhood vaccination schedule in Finland. Children aged 14 months to six years were given the live MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine. This was followed by the injection of 114,000 Finnish children aged 3 months and older with another experimental Hib vaccine. In 1988, Finland recommended that all babies be injected with the Hib vaccine. The introduction of these new vaccines in Finland were followed by a 62 percent rise in the incidence of diabetes in the 0 to 4 year old age group and a 19 percent rise of diabetes in the 5 to 9 year old age group between the years 1980 and 1982 and 1987 and 1989. Classen concluded: " The net effect was the addition of three new vaccines to the 0-4 year old age group and a 147 percent increase in the incidence of IDDM [insulin dependent diabetes mellitus] , the addition of one new vaccine to the 5-9 year olds and a rise in the incidence of diabetes of 40 percent, and no new vaccines added to the 10 to 14 year olds and a rise in the incidence of IDDM by only 8 percent between the intervals 1970-1976 and 1990-1992. The rise in IDDM in the different age groups correlated with the number of vaccines given. " read the rest of the article The Center for Disease Control, CDC, published data which supports a link between timing of immunization and the development of diabetes (Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety Vol 6 Suppl. 2, S60; 1998). The data from the CDC's preliminary study supports published data that immunization starting after 2 months is associated with an increased risk of diabetes. The US government study showed Hep B immunization starting after 2 months was associated with an almost doubling of the risk of IDDM, odds ratio of 1.9. The results were also consistent with data that immunization starting at birth is associated with a decreased risk of diabetes compared to immunization starting after 2 months of life (odds ratio of 1.3 vs 1.9). The children immunization at birth in the CDC study were followed on average less than 2 years. By contrast the BCG data from Sweden showed the ability of immunization at birth to prevent diabetes is only seen clearly after about age seven.read the rest of the article ===================================================================== Hemophilus Meningitis Vaccine Proven to Cause Diabetes in Clinical Trial of Over 100,000 Children; Many Diabetics Eligible for Compensation More on vaccines CASE REPORTS OF DIABETES FOLLOWING MMR SHOTS Every day since 1982, the National Vaccine Information Center has been contacted by countless numbers of mothers and fathers reporting deaths, brain injuries and chronic health problems following routine childhood vaccinations. The names and ages of the children change, but the descriptions of what happens to them are always the same. Following are a few examples of what parents have told us in their own words happened to their children after they were injected with MMR or rubella vaccine and developed juvenile diabetes. read the case reports Childhood Vaccinations and Juvenile-Onset (Type-1) Diabetes by Harris Coulter, Ph.D., President, Center for Empirical Medicine Testimony before the Congress of the United States, House of Representatives, Committee on Appropriations, subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies April 16, 1997 Diabetes Mellitus Homepage Natural Healing for Type II Diabetes, IDDM " ...diabetes rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced. " Shot in the Dark? Nicholas Regush ABCNEWS.com Columnist Hopes Congress Sheds Some Light on the Vaccine Debate " I hope the latest congressional hearing on childhood vaccines doesn't turn out to be yet another flash-in-the-pan noisemaker that fizzles into a lame, embarrassing (and to some communities, X-rated) genuflection to the status quo. These lawmaker health issue " hearings " typically end up pimping to the interests of high- flyer doctors and scientists and the pharmaceutical industry that adores and nurses them. I'm sure the goal — exploring the vaccine safety issue — was well-intentioned. Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., the chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, became concerned after two of his grandchildren developed side effects and a child known to his family died following vaccination. Skeptical that the three events could simply be coincidence, Burton wondered how often this actually occurs. " It's not that we don't want children vaccinated, " he said at the hearing this week, " but we want to have an informed public. " " read more Compensation for Vaccine-induced Victims Classen is now saying people with diabetes can seek legal compensation for their vaccine-induced injuries. Lawyers attending the September International Public Conference on Vaccination who reviewed Classen's data are advising people with diabetes possibly injured by vaccines to seek legal counsel at once. The United States and other governments provide compensation for vaccine-induced injuries. Cliff Shoemaker of Shoemaker and Horn in Vienna, Virginia, is one attorney who is filing such claims on behalf of people with diabetes. Shoemaker specializes in vaccine-injury compensation and says the statute of limitations for people with diabetes seeking legal compensation is three years from the onset of symptoms for claims under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The VICP is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), under which compensation may be paid for a vaccine-related injury or death. Michael R. Hugo, Esq., an attorney who also handles vaccine-injury cases for Hugo and Pollack, LLP of Boston, says the statute of limitations for people with diabetes seeking financial compensation for their injuries is completely a matter of state law. " In most states, it is three years from the date of discovery that someone was harmed by a vaccine, " says Hugo. " Also, in most states, there is a period of time where the statute of limitations does not even begin to run until the child reaches the age of majority for that state. " Shoemaker agrees with Hugo that statutes of limitation for states are quite variable. He adds there are many injuries a person with diabetes can suffer, " and suffering any of it qualifies one for compensation. " In order for a type 1 to seek compensation for a vaccine-related injury, according to Hugo, a doctor would have to tell a person with diabetes that their injuries are possibly vaccine-induced. Hugo says this would be difficult to prove, " as there is no credible science yet that would make that a likely diagnosis.

FDA Told Pneumococcal Vaccine Likely to Cause Epidemic of Diabetes BALTIMORE, Nov. 8, 1999/PRNewswire/ -- At last Friday's meeting of the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee meeting the committee heard testimony that the conjugated 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine was likely to cause a large epidemic of diabetes. Committee members were told that based on the rates of diabetes seen in Finland following the hemophilus vaccine that the pneumococcal vaccine could cause a major epidemic of diabetes. Taking into account both the rate of rise of diabetes in Finland and the larger population in the US, the early hemophilus vaccine would be expected to cause 2,300 cases of diabetes a year in the US. However, the newer more potent hemophilus vaccines are expected to cause up to 4,000 cases of diabetes in the US. Since the 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine contains 7 separate vaccines each similar to the hemophilus vaccine the pneumococcal vaccine may cause 28,000 cases of insulin dependent diabetes in the US each year. As with the hemophilus vaccine the risks with the conjugated pneumococcal vaccine are expected to exceed the benefit What Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually, as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness. " Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

Because the plant is seasonal and is difficult to grow in the winter, it is sometimes sold frozen. The appropriate method of administering bitter melon is to make the extract from the fruit, vines, and leaves of the plant and either drink it as a juice, tea or administer it as a retention enema. Some say that drinking the juice or tea will result in the breakdown of the active components by stomach acids, therefore a retention enema would be a more efficient route. more Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) available in tincture or capsule form Momordica charantia (Bitter melon): Therapeutic Actions, Clinical Indications, and more Diabetic and Other Metabolic Neuropathies Abstracts THE INFLUENCE OF MOMORDICA CHARANTIA FRUIT JUICE ON PERIPHERAL NERVE STRUCTURE IN EXPERIMENTAL DIABETES Momordica charantia fruit is traditionally used as a vegetable and is known to have hypoglycemic effect in human and experimental diabetes.
