Do you believe bitter herbs and vegetables like bitter melon help people with

Hi, We can take all the medicines we can (and just pray that our diabetes would be gone . . . but perhaps we need something like BIO ENZYME Plus, a 100% all natural fruit juice concentrate made of digestive enzymes that can help slow down aging and increase the body's immune system against diseases, including incurable or dreadful diseases! Diabetes, arthritis, cancer, tubercolosis, asthma, heart disease, liver and kidney disease, high blood pressure, migraine, etc., etc. - why do we have all these pains and diseases? In all probability, our body's enzyme level is low. I'll please get back to you again in a few days, I'm just finishing a project now. My email address is alex_delfin28@yahoo.com Regards

Some diabetics, heeding to the advice of their relatives or friends, observe fasts or opt for fad diets consisting of one or two food articles (e.g., chapaties and cooked karela; chapaties and leafy vegetables, etc.); This gradually leads to depletion of vitamins and minerals stored in the body and gives rise to symptoms of their deficiency. Besides, sooner or later, the tongue rebels against such monotonous diet. Ultimately the diabetic develops such aversion to dieting that he reverts to old faulty food-habits with a vengeance. In fact, a diabetic can choose his diet from a variety of food-articles. He need not stay away from the tastes he likes. Similarly he need not consume diet which is entirely different from that prepared for the rest of his family. Wheat, rice or bajri are similar in their nutrient contents. Likewise most vegetables have similar nutrients. Thus there is no reason why a diabetic should eat the same cereal or the same vegetable day after day. The major constituents of the food we eat are : carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and fibres (roughage). To maintain health and to aid the various processes occurring in the body, it is essential that all these constituents are obtained in suffkient amount. Carbohydrates include sugar and starch. Cereals are their main sources. Refined sugar, jaggery, honey, etc. are concentrated forms of carbohydrates. One gram of carbohydrates provides energy worth 4 calories to the body. Proteins are essential for the growth of the body and regeneration of cells lost due to wear'and tear. Milk, pulses, meat, fish and eggs are their main sources. One gram of protein provides energy worth 4 calories to the body. Fats are available from ghee and oils. There are two types of fat: saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fats are believed to be the causes of narrowing and hardening of arteries (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis ultimately leads to a heart attack or cerebral haemorrhage. It is therefore desirable to drastically cut down the consumption of food articles containing saturated fats. Butter, ghee, vegetable ghee, coconut oil and palm oil have lots of saturated fats. Meat, fish and eggs too are rich in saturated fats. On the other hand, groundnut oil, til oil, corn oil, soyabean oil, linseed oil and cotton seed oil are sources of relatively harmless, unsaturated fats. Each gram of fat provides energy worth 9 calories to the body. Vitamins and minerals are extremely important nutrients which serve numerous functions inside the body. Raw vegetables, fruits, germinated pulses and germinated cereals are excellent sources of vitamins and minerals. During the past 60 - 65 years the notions about the proportions of carbohydrates, proteins and fats in a diabetic diet have undergonea radical change. Uptil the second decade of last century, diabetics were advised to consume a very low-carbohydrate and very highhfat diet. But gradually it became known that a high-fat diet ruins the blood vessels and harms the heart. Besides, no logical reason could be put forward for carbohydrate restriction. Modern dieticians and physicians recommend, for the diabetics, a diet 55 to 60 per cent of which is comprised of carbohydrates, 20 to 22 per cent of fats and 18 - 20 per cent of proteins. It is now unanimously agreed that a diabetic should receive a larger than usual quota of vitamins and minerals.

I don't have diabetes... but my father developed type 2 ... so there is a chance I may get it. My grandpa was also diabetic (type 1). I never saw them taking bitter herbs or anything like that. They're not really into that kind of thing though. I take Chinese herbs to help with my nausea. My mom takes herbs to help with her Lupus, Oseteo and Thryoid - her bone density has improved, she doesn't have so many problems with her lupus as she used to, so I think that herbs and natural remedies can be effective if you find the right ones.

There are a good handful of herbs that can help in the management of diabetes. Normally you need more fiber in your diet, more exercise. Lapacho, bilberry, ginseng, Suma, burdock, garlic, milk thistle, and more can be used. A good doctor aware of complementary medicine would be in order. So many bad thins can happen in this condition so you need good care and managment.

yes, there are quite a good number of home remedies for diabetes. Like, soak a couple of teaspoonful of Fenugreek seeds in a glass of water, leave it overnight. Morning drink the water. It will control diabetes. Neem leaves are good also. Curry leaves and leaves of guava if taken regularly can keep diabetes under check. Bitter guard juice can help cure diabetes. These are some of the tried remedies for diabetes.
