Herbal solution
lynn
formula product which specifically targets at type 2. The Chinese doctor
who formulated this product has a family background of herbal medical
practice. His formula has been so successful that a special hospital and
research institute were set up dedicated for the treatment of diabetes using
his medicines. According to the literature he showed me, many early-phase
diabetes have been cured.
But I don't have all the materials to explain how it works. He says it's for
language barriers and culture differences that his formula hasn't been
introduced to the West.

China has cooperated and shared scientific evidence with the rest

The US Govt even has a Office of Alternative Medicine in their

complained anyone "convened against them". In fact, the hospital and
institute were set up under the support of local health care
authorities.
And the herbal formula has just been licenced in China to sell to the
public as a proper medicine. When you say 'unproven', I really don't
understand why you are so sure it's unproven. What I can read from your
message is that all herbal treatment is "unproven".
My friend is a qualified medical professional and he spent nearly three
months there working with their experts. He is not a crook but a
responsile person who is a top level diabetes expert in the UK.
The files he brought back do show many early-medium stage type2
diabetics have been cured. Of course the healing process must not be an
easy one, but it does work out.
While there is no effective treatment for diabetes in the conventional
medication, we ought to keep an open mind for other approaches. Blind
denial to everything will get us nowhere.

First, you never named the doctor until now, and even now we have
no way of finding out about this remedy. In our town of 60,000
in the Midwest US, not known for it's Asian population, there are
at least 25 Wangs. Research Institute gives us no leads as to
where in the BILLION-person China he may do business.

You misread. Herbal therapies are often used -- after testing for
safety and efficacy. This un-specified herbal remedy is assumed
to be unproven, since you haven't named it.

No one said anything about crooks. I hope that as a top level
diabetes expert he will publish information about the product so
that it will undergo peer review.

This would be good news, indeed, since no other therapy has yielded
any cures.

No one is denying anything... you referred to an unknown herbal
compound and an unnamed institute, by a doctor who has a name
equivelant to "Smith" in the western hemisphere. Did I mention
that medical and scientific professionals regularly share information
with China and other Asian countries? And that the NIH has an
Office of Alternate Medicine? And that such a product would be
popular with drug companies, govts, and advocacy orgs?

Here is the problem I have with your original post -- you cannot
name or document what you have said. Some may read it and say,
"herbal treatment" is the answer to my diabetes, so I can quit
those other treatments that my doctor advises and search out this
promised "cure".
I repeat, I hope that your top level diabetes expert will publish
information about the product so that it will undergo peer review.

Consider this: yes, herbal medications can work, early medications were all
from plants, until we learned to make synthetic ones. Digitalis, for
instance, is one of the oldest (also known as Lanoxin), for the heart, from
the digitalis plant.
Many chemotherapies still come from plants, today.
Drug companies are routinely scouting the deep forests of Africa for new
drugs.
However, again, the concept of "cure" is, I think, a misnomer, at best.
One simply cannot take an herbal product and restore genetically-induced
flaws in the alpha and beta cells of the Isle of Langerhans of their
pancreas.
It would be too easy, and if so, this man would already be thoroughly known
world wide.
Now, he MIGHT have an excellent oral herbal medication on his hands, that
works better than our synthetics. That is a feasible concept.

some of his materials.
I'm not trying to tell everyone this specific herbal thing is THE
solution. It works on some people and that's all.
Of course he will publish his findings and that's why he spent time
there. All info regarding this hospital and the formula will be
available for everyone on a web site to be built.
Whether anyone is to do 'peer review' is not their concern, it's not
going to be sold outside China as medicine, but supplement.

Why I think that would be.....My Wang. Not to be confused with the noted
Urologist, Dr. My Wang Hurtz.

Oh lets see.... I guess it was three or four thousand years ago that they came
across the herb Ma Huang. Funny how every ten years or so since then someone
wants to act like they just discovered it.
Yes, Ma Huang IS effective as an adjunctive treatment of Type 2 Diabetes. As an
adjunctive therapy, Ma Huang can deaden the appetite and raise the metabolism of
the Type 2. By deadening the appetite and raising the metabolism, the type 2 is
assisted in losing weight.
This resulting weight lose improves the weight to insulin ratio. It is then
presumed that once the afflicted individual achieves their proper weight that
they will no longer need treatment for diabetes presenting the illusion of a
"Cure".
(You don't say? and I can get this without a prescription?)
A'yup. In the form of Ma Huang you would have to ingest about 800mg, three times
per day to be of any therapeutic value. This is available at any health food
store. It is further refined into diet supplements labeled, "Ephedra", Ephedrine
Alkaloid" and "Ephedrine" with Ephedrine being the most refined and effective.
It can also be found in certain over the counter decongestants such as
Primatene.
(You mean this shit works and I can just go to the store and buy as much as I
want?)
A'yup.
(Is there any reason I shouldn't?)
Oh... I don'...know.... maybe...... sudden death?
Also known as, "The heart attack in a bottle", the FDA along with the DEA have
been working very hard over the years to get the stuff properly classified as an
amphetamine. Right now, it's marketed as a "Herbal Diet Supplement".
While I in no way endorse the product, here's a site with some brief info:
http://www.biotreasures.com/Ephedrine.htm
Oh and by the way...did you know that China later admitted that acupuncture and
accupressure were complete hoaxes? It's true. They said they did it for Nixon's
visit because they wanted to show a superiority in health treatment.
Of course none of this is really relevant since the poster is going to tell you
it isn't Ephedrine or Ma Huang their selling....just watch...here it comes. It's
that "This product is sooo secret even we don't know what it is".

Back to the American Diabetes Assn web site:
<http://www.diabetes.org/diabetesforecast/96apr/chromium.htm>
"Chromium supplements contain more than chromium. They often have a
combination of ingredients including amino acids, kola nut (caffeine), and
the herb mahuang, which contains ephedrine.
"Ephedrine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, and also increases
systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Other side effects include palpitations,
nervousness, and headaches."
BTW, ephedrine has been shown to be effective to treat diabetes edema (see
<http://www.diabetes.org/diabetescare/1997-03/pg290.htm>
but it is also linked with stroke:
<http://www.americanheart.org/Scientific/statements/1997/079709.html>
"Case reports have also linked over-the-counter sympathomimetic
decongestants, cold remedies, and diet aids (eg, phenylpropanolamine),
ephedrine, and pseudoephedrine with hemorrhagic and, less often,
ischemic stroke."
So in this search for easy remedies, we come across with new and
different health problems, or complications of the ones we have.
We have to make trade-offs all of the time in reaching the appropriate
therapy, which is why we must always involve our medical team in
decisions of how to treat our diseases.
One would not treat their own brain tumor, or a broken leg,
or an abcessed tooth. Use your medical team to your own
BEST advantage.

"Word's to live by", Jude. Drug store remedies have been killing people for years.
While each of us is similar none of us are the same. An element is an element. That is
that Carbon is Carbon whether it's manufactured in a pharmaceutical lab or refined
from a root in the woods.
Already having an illness, we must be even more cautious than the typical consumer.
Take only those over the counter drugs that are recommended by your health care
professional. Remember he is bombarded 52 times a week by drug company salesman. If
anyone Chinese or otherwise has ever come up with a treatment or cure, I'm sure your
doctor would be the first to offer it to you.

Well, some of us have seen such promises come and go. You only do a
disservice if you do not give specifics. Your posting has the
status of gossip.

Hmmm. Your chosen Subject: was "Herbal solution".

We'll welcome the opportunity to learn more.

Well it should be. Studies performed in a vacuum are not of
much value. If their methods are valid, the research will hold
up to scrutiny.

At least in the US, herbal remedies can be sold as food supplements.
That does not mean that they are safe or effective for any
particular malady. Herbs (also vitamins, minerals) often have
significant side-effects which must be considered WITH YOUR
MEDICAL TEAM in any therapy.

Not to mention the line that drug companies would form at the
researcher's office door.
Among the problems with herbal remedies is dosage and quality
control. By studying an herbal remedy, a drug company can
often make a manufactured product that eliminates those problems.
*That* reduces undesireable side-effects.
Science works across geographic, language, political and cultural
barriers. If any of these supposed barriers are a problem, it's
because the researcher refused to cooperate with a whole host
of organizations, including the WHO (World Health Organization).
Scientists operate under a specific protocol, no matter where in
the world they work. A trial under accepted methods, publication
of their results, peer review of the method and conclusions,
then acceptance of the study.

Wasn't that where the German playboy, Langerhans, kept all his bunnies?
