Healing diabetes, cancer, and much more with Pine Needle Tea, extract and oils

Dear friends,

I am a true believer in pine needle tea. I discovered it about 6 months ago, and started getting my fresh pine needles from the trees all around my house here in Florida, cutting them and making tea daily putting a handful in a pot with simmering water with fresh mint leaves, and chamomile flowers, leaving it to simmer very low for about a half an hour. It has a wonderful taste. We add a little honey or agave syrup, and cinnamon and cloves at times.

My husband has had trouble with his blood sugar, and blood pressure and found dramatic results after drinking this tea every evening for 6 months. The results came pretty quickly, and he noticed a significant improvement in his breathing, allergies, his energy levels, and just overall feeling of health.

Its a shame that so many people take for granted what nature provides every day, living all around us. Those weeds and trees you are pulling, killing, cutting down can very well save your life, and they don't cost a thing.

Take the time to learn about what grows all around you.

Make sure to drink plenty of water after drinking the tea as it's a diuretic.

Love to all, White Rose Resistance!

The most recent studies of the chemical components found in Pine Needle Oil indicate it has protein, Vitamin A, Carotene and Iron, which are all required by the human body to function properly. Rutin, found in Pine Needles, is thought to be the compound that cleans blood vessels, according to the researchers.The chemical components of Pine Needle Oil include monoterpene hydrocarbons, such as a-pinene, 3-carene, dipentene, b-pinen, D-limonene, a-terpinene, g-terpinene, cis-b-ocimene, myrcene, camphene, sabinene, and terpinolene (Schulz et al, 1998). Other constituents include bornyl acetate, borneol, 1,8-cineole, citral terpineol, T-cadinol, T-muurolol, a-cadinol, cayophyllene, chamazulen, butyric acid, valeric acid, caproic acid, and isocaproic acid (Leung and Foster, 1996).

Pycnogenol for diabetes control

From 22-Mar-2004 - Type 2 diabetes patients had lower blood sugar and healthier blood vessels after supplementing with French maritime pine tree bark extract Pycnogenol, report scientists in the latest study to investigate a natural product for diabetes management.

The rapid increase in type 2 diabetes has triggered a search for natural products that can help patients manage the condition and cut the costs of expensive drugs.

Diabetes has already increased by one-third during the 1990s, due to the prevalence of obesity and an ageing population. There are currently more than 194 million people with diabetes worldwide but if nothing is done to slow the epidemic, the number will exceed 333 million by 2025, according to the International Diabetes Federation.

Author Peter Rohdewald from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Muenster said the new study was prompted by communication from patients reporting no need for insulin following supplementation with Pycnogenol.

Along with colleagues at the Guang An Men Hospital of Chinese Medical Science Research Institute in Beijing, the researcher carried out a new open and controlled, dose-finding study on patients with mild type 2 diabetes, aged 28-64 years of age with a BMI of between 22-34. The 18 men and 12 women were on a regular diet and exercise programme.

The researchers report that the patients were able to significantly lower their glucose levels when they supplemented with 50-200 mg of the supplement.

"Many patients look for complementary therapies, such as natural ingredients, to further reduce their risk of long-term complications from this condition," said Rohdewald.

"The favourable research results on the glucose-lowering effect of this natural extract encourages further mechanistic and clinical studies with Pycnogenol to explore its potential in obtaining metabolic control in patients with mild type 2 diabetes."

High blood sugar damages blood cells and blood vessels. Diagnostic blood chemistry in this study suggests that entailing problems arising from elevated blood sugar are significantly reduced. Pycnogenol did not affect insulin levels in diabetic patients.

The supplement, extracted from the bark of the Maritime pine that grows along the coast of southwest France, has also been shown to improve cardiovascular problems prevailing in diabetics. Studies have found Pycnogenol reduces high blood pressure, platelet aggregation, LDL (bad)-cholesterol and enhances circulation.

The new study is published as a letter in the current issue of Diabetes Care (27:839).

A study published in the journal Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice reveals that a French maritime pine tree extract known as Pycnogenol® delays the uptake of glucose from a meal in a significant manner, preventing the typical high glucose peak in the blood stream after a meal. The study showed that the pine bark extract is extremely potent when it comes to suppressing carbohydrate absorption in diabetics."Diabetes mellitus type II is a serious disease with rising prevalence," said Dr. Petra Hogger, a lead researcher of the study. "This study is crucial for those suffering with the disease because it supports the abundance of other research done on Pycnogenol and diabetes."The study was conducted at the University of Wurzburg Germany. Dr. Hogger investigated the interaction of Pycnogenol with the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which breaks down complex carbohydrates such as starch and normal table sugar into glucose molecules. Results revealed Pycnogenol is 190 times more potent than other factors for inhibition of alpha-glucosidase.The study concluded: "The results obtained assign a novel, local effect to oligomeric procyanidins and contribute to the explanation of glucose-lowering effects of Pycnogenol observed in clinical trials with diabetic patients.Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice Published Online
