Chinese Herbal Formula Decreases Blood Glucose & Insulin Levels

[Guest guest]

The U.S. National Institutes of Health co-authored the study of a

specific patented blend of traditional Chinese herbs to determine

this formula's ability to support the body against high blood

glucose and insulin levels consistent with Type 2 Diabetes. This

formula is composed of eight traditional Chinese herbs dried and as

water extracts, mixed according to proprietary formulation.

U.S. Patent 6093403; issued 1999.

 

Here are the initial and the last statements in the study's brief

abstract.

 

" The effects of a specifically prepared anti-diabetic herbal formula

(ADHF) on the course of established Type 2 diabetes in animal

subjects has been studied. "

 

" This is the first report to our knowledge to show in vivo evidence

for significntly decreased circulating glucose and insulin levels

and a significant reduction of progressive damage to major target

organs (pancreas & liver) by the addition of an herbal diet

supplement to a diabetes induction diet proven to be capable of

causing and maintaining Type 2 Diabetes. "

 

You may read the complete abstract by searching or Google for

PUBMED, The National Library of Medicine. Once in PUBMED search -

antidiabetic herbal formula.

 

A nutritional supplement based on this formula is available in the

U.S. Please email me for more information.

I am interested. Troy

I have seen lots of C.Herbal formula that says they are patented. I was of

the opinion an herbs blend or single could not be patented. Does this happen

in the west.

Hi Mitchell,

 

I had to keep the posting as brief as possible.

Several people have asked for additional information.

This Chinese herbal formula U.S. Patent # is 6093403;

issued in 1999.

 

The initial studies were completed and the report

co-authored by the National Intitutes of Health was

issued in January 2001.

 

I am just surprised that it is still a secret.

 

Searching PUBMED, the National Lirary of Medicine

website, I have found that several of the ingredients

are being researched to determine how they can be

refined into expensive drugs. Maybe that is why this

formula is not being promoted widely and is still a

secret.

 

How much money would a scientist earn if he could

sell such a drug to a pharmecutical company so they

could charge us $20 per pill?

 

What do you think?

 

I addition to research this formula on the web, I have

an audio tape and a dvd presentation describing the

study and its results, made by one of the co-authors,

Dr. Wendell D. Winters of the University of Texas

Health Sciences Center.

 

I believe after researching the ingredients for

yourself you may agree that this could be helpful to

many people.

 

You may email me for more information.

I want to make some comments for those new to TCM. In order to get

maximum benefit from any herb or formula, know the underlying TCM

imbalance(s). For example, ginger is a great herb for treating

nausea IF the person suffers from a Cold imbalance. Ginger has a

warming effect on the body, and when it's given to a person who is

too Cold, it averages the person out to normal. But, give it to a

person who has nausea but also is too Hot, and you can make that

person sicker. You're adding Heat to someone who already is too

Hot. This person needs to be cooled down. Either an anti-nausea

herb with cooling or neutral thermal energy will have to be found,

or the ginger will need to be mixed with herbs with cooling energy

so that the overall thermal energy of the formula is cooling. The

concept of Hot and Cold is one of the most important in TCM.

 

Why learn the basics of TCM, especially if one already is trained in

Western allopathic medicine? You will never again look at healing

the same way as before. It opens up new ways of considering things.

You start to ask questions you never thought of asking before. You

become even more skilled in allopathic medicine. It's not just

herbs that have certain properties like cooling or heating the body.

Foods and prescription drugs have these properties too. For example,

the thermal energy of antibiotics is cooling. In a person who is too

Hot, this particular property doesn't present a problem. But in a

person who is too Cold, even though the infection clears up, other

problems that the person has may now be worse. Western medicine has

no framework at present for understanding what happened. TCM does.

 

Personally, I'm more than a little leery of extracting and refining

one or even two chemical compounds from an herb because there is a

lot that Western science simply does not know at present. There has

been a long history of chemicals and dietary supplements that simply

did not contain all they needed to contain for health. A good

example is vitamin C. It turned out that some of the properties

attributed to vitamin C were coming from compounds called

bioflavanoids. When the vitamin C was being consumed from sources

like citrus fruits and juices, the bioflavanoids also were present.

When people went to the synthesized vitamin, the bioflavanoids were

not present, and symptoms of bioflavanoid deficiency were showing up.

 

Some compounds work best with others. (This is another concept one

will encounter repeatedly in TCM.) Some people can't handle

concentrated and potent compounds. One sometimes sees this just

with herbs in a condition called Deficient But Can't Accept

Tonification. Concentrated extracts may be even harder on these

people than even the much milder herbs. From a Western standpoint,

many people with CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome)

do better with less potent drugs than more potent drugs, and do

better with smaller than normal dosages.

I missed the post. Would you mind telling me the name of the formula.

Thanks
