What is Gourdin (How does it work?)

[Guest guest]

When I was diagnosed as a diabetic, my fasting blood sugar was 360 &

I had a non-healing diabetic ulcer on my foot which I had had for

about a year. For 5 months I followed the doctor's advice & took

glyburide daily to maintain blood glucose levels & got my foot dealt

with regularly by a physical therapist (weekly debridement plus

various changes to my footwear plus various bandage changes & powder

put on the wound).

 

I hated the glyburide & how it made me feel. I could tell the

glyburide was just not good for me long term. After doing quite a

bit of reading, I discovered Gourdin, an Aryuvedic preparation of

bitter melon & began taking it four times a day in conjunction with

the glyburide. When my foot had completely healed, I told my doctor

I was going to try going off glyburide & maintain my blood glucose

levels with diet plus gourdin alone. My doctor was very much against

this. She said at my age (which was then 56), I would not be able to

control my glucose levels with diet alone. but when I told her I was

going to do it anyway, she gave me some guidelines as to what was

acceptable glucose control.

 

After being totally off glyburide for four months, my doctor had my

bloodwork done & she e-mailed me the following:

 

glycosylated hemoglobin Hb A1C--the biochemical measure of glucose

control over the preceding 120 days--and it is 6.6, which is only

slightly above normal. The normal range is 4-6.4. In short, you've

been doing pretty well over the past several months, so I don't

think you need to make any changes presently as long as you keep

eating well.

 

It has now been nearly 2 years since going off the glyburide. My

fasting glucometer readings usually vary between 110 and 140. I keep

experimenting with diet so the readings are not as constant as they

would be if I ate the same foods all the time. My post prandial

readings never exceed 150, unless I am allowing myself some holiday

feasting which I know I cannot do for more than a few days at a time

several times a year. If my post-prandial readings exceed 200 during

a feast time, I go right back to my normal diet. 2-1/2 years ago, my

fasting glucose was 360. I adhere to a strict diet -- but it is

*not* the diet suggested by the ADA & the allopaths.

 

Aryuvedic medicine is far older than allopathic medicine. It is a

much gentler approach to healing & re-balance than allopathic

medicine. I do not think *any* branch of medicine is perfect in all

situations. If I get shot by a crook, or if I were to be in a car

wreck -- the allopaths are far better at trauma than anyone else.

But when the choice is taking an allopathic drug daily for the rest

of my life which has known bad side effects & leads inevitably to

the degradation of my body's organs & functions, and taking

Aryuvedic herbal preparations which may actually reverse organ

degradation, I'll go with the Aryuvedic preparations.

GOURDIN is a supplement made from the seeds of BitterGourd

(Bittermelon or Momordica Charantia L.).

 

It is a protein extracted from a plant source.

 

When administered to the patients suffering from Diabetes Mellitus

(Type I and Type II both), it helps them to improve their general

health.

 

Invented by Dr. Pushpa Khanna, this supplement is first of its kind

showing absoloutely no side effects.

 

Launched and Commercialised in May 2000, we have received a

tremendous response from the diabetics who are using it.

 

Why Should I Use Gourdin instead of other conventional medicines?

 

Gourdin has exhibited many benefits as opposed to conventional

medicines.

 

Conventional medicines carry along with them, side effects which

would again take you back to your endocrine doctor to advise of the

remedies for those ill effects. With Gourdin, the benefits are many

namely :

 

1. Does not cross-react - Gourdin, unlike other medicines, does not

cross react with any type of insulin being taken by the patient.

Hence no chances of cross reaction disorders. It even is safe for

people who are already taking other hypoglycemic drugs or medicine.

 

2. Blood Sugar Lowering Effect - Essentially, the polypeptide-p acts

on the pancreas, rejuvenates it and activates the dead insulin

producing beta cells present in the islets in pancreas. It also

increases the healthy regeneration of beta cells in the pancreas

hence increasing the secretion of insulin from the pancreas.

 

As a result of this, many people are in fact able to reduce their

insulin doses to a bare minimum after using Gourdin. For those who

may feel, Gourdin is certainly NOT a Sulphonylurea drug. Gourdin is

an all-natural diet supplement or health food. *

*Statement not evaluated by FDA

 

Dr. Khanna has written a technical paper explaining the action of

Polypeptide-p compound present in Gourdin.

 

3. Acts Preventive - Finally, a safe diet supplement which actually

is a boon for non-diabetics suspecting that they might get their

blood sugar out of control. Everyone fears being termed a " diabetic "

and its difficult to live on with this killer disease. Gourdin has

been formulated in such a way that it is a PREVENTIVE supplement

which when taken 1 tablet a day , will keep a check on your blood

sugar levels and prevent you from getting hyperglycemic. *

*Statement not evaluated by FDA

 

Since Diabetes is hereditary, Gourdin is being adopted by many

parents (both diabetic and non-diabetic) to give it to their

children. Yes, Gourdin is safe for children to use since its an all-

natural supplement.

 

4. Reduces Cholestrol and Triglycerides - Gourdin can keep your HDL

and LDL levels in control as well as stabilise your TriGlyceride

levels in addition to being anti-diabetic. So people who tend to

become hypertensive and with high blood pressure and cholestrol

problems, Gourdin will serve you as all-in-one solution. *

*Statement not evaluated by FDA

 

5. Takes care of Diabetic Neuropathy - Nerve damage caused by

Diabetes can lead to numbness and pain in hands, feet and legs. It

can also cause indigestion, excessive sweating, constipation,

bladder infections, dizziness and even Depression. In addition to

combating diabetes, the neuropathy found in diabetics can also be

combated by taking Gourdin.

 

Gourdin regulates the complex metabolism associated with diabetes

and hence relieves you of the symptoms of diabetic Neuropathy. Same

can be said for Diabetic Retinopathy which affects the eyes.

Inflammation in Joints is also eliminated. *

*Statement not evaluated by FDA

 

6. Greater Healing Power and Strong Immune System - Diabetics are

prone to weak healing from wounds and diseases because of a degraded

immune system. Gourdin strengthens the immune system, flushes out

the toxins in the body and is diuretic. It increases the body's

ability to purify and cleanse impurities hence leading to a more

robust immune system. It also improves the kidney functions because

as the glucose levels improve, the strains on the kidney decreases.

*

*Statement not evaluated by FDA

 

7. No Side Effects Observed - The conventional sulphonylurea drugs

can cause serious side-effects often causing a decreased amount of

insulin production by putting too great a strain on the insulin

producing beta cells. Gourdin has no such side effects as it is

derived from natural substance.

 

Gourdin only has one active ingredient , Bittermelon which is

actually termed a vegetable in South East Asian countries and is

consumed in large quantities every day. So unless you are allergic

to Bittermelon (BitterGourd or Karela), Gourdin is completely safe

to use without any ill effects attached to it. *

 

 

8. Improved Insulin Receptors - Insulin becomes ineffective when

insulin receptors in muscle cells are scarce or when they do not

function properly. This is called a down-regulated insulin receptor.

Due to down-regulated insulin receptors, the glucose remains in the

blood and the blood glucose level rises. This is called 'insulin

resistance.'

The body resists insulin, therefore, glucose is not being properly

utilized. Gourdin, being first of its kind, helps diabetics in

treating insulin resistance.
