Guest guest Posted October 25, 1999 Report Share Posted October 25, 1999 dave, I am sorry I do not use this herb myself and cant answer your question off the top of my head. However, the information you need should be in any standard TCM herb book or try contacting subhuti at http://www.itmonline.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 The active chemicals in bitter mellon is not absorbed well from the gut. There is a sub-lingual tablet of bitter mellon sold under the name Gourdin which I have been using for about 5 years now. You might also look into Gymnema Sylvestre tablets marketed by Source Naturals. I have been using Gymnema for a few months now and it works nicely. Vitamin C is very useful for diabetics. At least 10 grams a day. I take to bowl tollerance, many times a day, and usually consume 25-40 grams of C a day. I could mention a lot more supplements but as you have a money problem right now, I won't burden you. In 2001 when I was diagnosed with diabetes, my fasting blood glucose level was 360. Thru dietary changes and added supplements, my fasting blood glucose levels are down to 108 this week. I take NO diabetic meds. The diet the docs wanted me to use is utter crap and filled with carbs. Gotta do your own research. Alobar On 6/26/06, kkachado <kkachado wrote: > I have been using bitter melon - along with some other herbs and > vitamins - to help control my blood sugar.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I don't know if Frank will allow this post because it promotes a particular vitamin company, but several other people have mentioned the same company recently, so I will give it a shot. I am on SSI disability and have very little extra money for the supplements I need also, so I buy all my supplements from: http://www.vitacost.com Vitacost has no brick-and-mortar stores, so they sell only through their web site, which allows them to sell most products at a much lower price than I have found elsewhere--at least for the products I use, anyway. The president of the company is a neurologist and the board of directors are all doctors. They have their own brand of products called NSI, which seem to be of very high quality and are very reasonably priced. They have an excellent weekly e-mail newsletter that you can sign up for. They also often send me catalogs via snail mail or coupons via e-mail that give me 5% off my order. I have never used their bitter melon products, so I can't specifically vouch for that, but they do carry them. I think the world of Vitacost.com--they are reliable and seem to have a lot of integrity. Without them, I would not be able to afford all the supplements I need.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 You did not specify what kind of bitter melon you want. I'm familiar with this vegetable, as a matter of fact, I just had bitter melon with dinner last night. Of course, we eat only fresh bitter melon, the young t ender leaves are even good. They are medicinal. They make good salad. It's Asian vegetables. I'll tell you where to get fresh bitter melon and if you want, I can give you delicious recipe.

The ayurvedic supplement that Alobar mentioned, Gourdin is very good as well, although I'm not sure how cost effective it really is. Source Naturals is one of the better names in vitamins as is Enzymatic Therapy, Planetaryformulas and Natural Factors. It IS best to be cautious when purchasing online however I wouldn't be afraid to use any of the above mentioned products even when obtaining them at a reduced price online.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 My diabetic group buys a Bitter Melon tea in bulk from www.charanteausa.com to get a big dicount. We started using it after a few Asian friends recommended the tea and capsules. I tried another brand of Bitter Melon tea as well, but this one tastes the best, in my opinion. I researched a bit first when I tried it, then recommended it to my friends too. I take a lot of other stuff like cinnamon and eat healthy too, but I can say that the tea really does help me get by. Hope this helps! Have a great day... Irene Dowdy <dowdyrunner wrote: I agree and I shop there too.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Thanks to all that sent me advice on this forum and off. I found the best place was at the local asian market.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Bitter Melon and I agree pretty good. I like the tea a lot and I started down this weird diabetic path at 220 for my sugar count. I have lost 12 pounds - more to go - changed my diet to be healthier and I have been using the bitter melon after every meal even the small ones. I am down to 112 sugar! I plan to rid myself of this disease. I will look at your supplements - if you want you can send me notes on other supplements as well off line. I WILL FIND a job soon... , Alobar <Alobar wrote: > > The active chemicals in bitter mellon is not absorbed well from the > gut.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Bitter Melon Nutrients Fight Type 2 Diabetes Better than Prescription Drugs by David Gutierrez (NaturalNews) In a collaborative effort between the Chinese government and an Australian research institute, scientists have isolated four compounds in bitter melon that may account for the vegetable's utility as a diabetes treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. " We can now understand at a molecular level why bitter melon works as a treatment for diabetes, " said David James, Director of the Diabetes and Obesity Program at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia. " By isolating the compounds we believe to be therapeutic, we can investigate how they work together in our cells. " " Chinese <http://www.naturalnews.com/Chinese_medicine.html> medicine is a very rich source for finding new therapies for diseases, including diabetes <http://www.naturalnews.com/diabetes.html> , " said researcher Jiming Ye, also of Garvan. He noted that bitter melon <http://www.naturalnews.com/bitter_melon.html> has a long history as a natural diabetes remedy in China, and its use is described in texts nearly 500 years old. " Bitter melon was described as 'bitter in taste, non-toxic, expelling evil heat, relieving fatigue and illuminating in the famous Compendium of Materia Medica by Li Shizhen (1518-1593), one of the greatest physicians, pharmacologists and naturalists in China's history, " he said. " It is interesting, now that we have the technology, to analyze why it has been so effective. " In addition to relieving the symptoms of diabetes, bitter melon is used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote digestion, brighten the eyes and cool the body. " Not just diabetes, [but] for people keep slim, weight loss - even for ... cholesterol, " said Benny Fan of the Australian Association. Fan says he has been promoting bitter melon as a natural remedy for 25 years. Researchers pulped approximately a metric ton of bitter melon and analyzed its chemical components. They identified four compounds that appeared to stimulate the activity of a chemical known as AMPK, which is known to help regulate blood sugar <http://www.naturalnews.com/blood_sugar.html> levels. " When we give this compound to our mice just before a meal, we then give the meal, we find that they have a much more efficient removal of glucose from the blood compared to animals that have not been given the drug, " James said. The results of the study were published in the journal Chemistry & Biology. In people with diabetes, the body is not able to move enough sugar <http://www.naturalnews.com/sugar.html> from the blood and into the cells where it can be burned for energy. This problem arises either from a lack of insulin, a lack of sensitivity to the hormone, or both. Exercise is normally prescribed as a part of diabetes treatment because it activates AMPK, which is known to help move glucose transporters to the surface of cells, where they can then grab the sugar out of the blood. In the current study, the compounds isolated from bitter melon had the same effect on AMPK as exercise. As a next step, the researchers hope to identify the chemical pathways through which this effect occurs. The research into bitter melon was launched four years ago, when the Chinese government initiated efforts to form partnerships with Australian researchers into developing new diabetes treatments. Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases in the world. The World Health Organization estimates that the number of people with diabetes worldwide will increase from 171 million to 350 million by 2030. China is expected to have one of the world's biggest diabetes public health problems by 2025. The American Diabetes Association estimates that 20 million people in the United States - 7 percent of the population - are diabetic <http://www.naturalnews.com/diabetic.html> , with another 6.2 million undiagnosed. Forty-one million are prediabetic. Eventually, a team from Garvan, one of Australia's largest medical research <http://www.naturalnews.com/medical_research.html> institutes, was selected to join China in its bitter melon research. " I think a lot of people thought this idea was a little bit weird to begin with, " James said. " Maybe some people thought the Garvan Institute had lost the plot. We got the funds for the two big new instruments. " But traditional medicines have always been a source for new drugs, he pointed out. " Much of our modern medicines actually come from this very way, so aspirin and Metformin - which is one of the most commonly used medications for diabetes - came from plants, " James said. The ultimate goal is to develop new drugs based on bitter melon, the researchers said. James noted that all four compounds identified have been patented, citing it as a sign of " how confident we are that it's a world first. " To date, only the chemical's effects on mice have been studied. Human trials are not expected to commence for about a year. The researchers said that while some diabetes drugs already on the market work by activating AMPK, those drugs can have serious side effects <http://www.naturalnews.com/side_effects.html> . In contrast, no side effects were observed in the mice that were fed the bitter melon compounds. " The advantage of bitter melon is that there are no known side effects, " Ye said. " Practitioners of Chinese medicine have used it for hundreds of years to good effect. " In contrast, the side effects from some diabetes drug can seriously threaten some patients' health, according to Kathy Samaris, who has worked with Type 2 diabetics for more than 10 years. " Some people can experience nausea, a low blood sugar level, but in its worst manifestations will cause a seizure, " Samaris said. " A lot of the drugs will cause weight gain which in people who are already struggling with their weight is a big added problem. " Health experts cautioned that before they rush out to eat large quantities of bitter melon, diabetes patients should consult a medical professional. In addition, proper diet and exercise are still the best way to prevent diabetes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Bitter melon does not cure diabetes, only blood sugar levels show improvement for the time it is taken. In India it is a popular vegetable cooked in different ways. It is very cooling so some long term use needs some caution. During winter, best thing may be to cook it with warming spices as they do in India. --- On Tue, 9/2/08, Wani <jocanas wrote: Wani <jocanas Bitter Melon " Wani " <jocanas Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 5:51 PM Bitter Melon Nutrients Fight Type 2 Diabetes Better than Prescription Drugs by David Gutierrez (NaturalNews) In a collaborative effort between the Chinese government and an Australian research institute, scientists have isolated four compounds in bitter melon that may account for the vegetable's utility as a diabetes treatment in traditional Chinese medicine.
