[What is Andrographis?]

Andrographis paniculata is a bitter tasting annual plant, referred to as the “King of Bitters.” It has white-purple flowers and it is native to Asia and India where it has been valued for centuries for its numerous medicinal benefits. Over the past decade, andrographis has become popular in America where it is often used alone and in combination with other herbs for a variety of health purposes.

[How does it work?]

According to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the active ingredient in andrographis is andrographolides. Due to the andrographolides, andrographis has potent anti-inflammatory and antimalarial properties. It also has antimicrobial properties, meaning it can help to fight off and prevent infections from harmful microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. In addition, andrographis is a powerful antioxidant and it can help to prevent free radical induced damage to your cells and DNA

[Function]

Cold and Flu

Scientists have discovered that andrographis helps to boost the immune system by stimulating the body’s production of antibodies and macrophages, which are large white blood cells that scavenge harmful microorganisms. It is taken for both the prevention and treatment of the common cold, and it is often referred to as Indian echinacea. It might help lessen the severity of cold symptoms such as sleeplessness, fever, nasal drainage and sore throat.

Cancer, Viral Infections and Heart Health

Andrographis may also help to prevent and treat cancer, and preliminary studies done in test tubes found that extracts of andrographis help to treat stomach, skin, prostate and breast cancer. Due to the herb’s antiviral properties, andrographis is used to treat herpes and it is also currently being studied as a treatment for Aids and HIV as well. Andrographis also promotes heart health and can help to prevent the formation of blood clots as well as to dissolve already formed blood clots. In addition, the herb relaxes smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels and thereby helps to reduce high blood pressure.

Additional Benefits

Andrographis is used to promote gallbladder and digestive health. It also helps to support and strengthen the liver and it is used in combination with other herbs in several Ayurvedic formulations to treat liver disorders. Finally, andrographis extracts taken orally have been found to help neutralize the poisonous effects of snake venom.

Dosage and Precautions

The therapeutic dose of andrographis is 400 mg, twice daily, for up to 10 days. Although andrographis is considered safe in humans, the NYU Langone Medical Center warns that animal studies suggest that it may impair fertility. Andrographis may cause unwanted side effects such as headaches, fatigue, allergic reactions, nausea, diarrhea, altered taste and pain in the lymph nodes. It may also interact with certain medications and as with any supplement you should consult your health care practitioner before taking the herb.

The Diabetes Breakthrough Your Doctor Won’t Tell You About

Hi

Shocking new scientific research uncovered how to treat the root cause of diabetes. Doctors at the International Council for Truth in Medicine have perfected these diabetes treatment methods:

In 16 days, patients insulin dosages were reduced by over 57%

A few weeks later, 96% of patients were able to stop ALL diabetes drugs and injections.

Blood sugar normalized, insulin sensitivity increased and neuropathy pain went away.

They’ve already helped over 17,542 type 2 diabetics end the need for prescription drugs, insulin injections and blood sugar monitoring.

But you won’t hear about this breakthrough from your doctor.

7 Supplements That May Help Diabetes

1. Chromium
Chromium, a metal and an essential trace mineral, is thought to naturally help reduce blood sugar levels. It is naturally occurring in foods such as meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, spices, and whole-wheat and rye breads. As a supplement, it is sold as chromium picolinate, chromium chloride, and chromium nicotinate.

2. Magnesium
Magnesium is essential for healthy bones, muscle function, normal blood pressure, and proper heart rhythm. People with diabetes tend to be low in magnesium, which is linked to lowered insulin production and more insulin insensitivity. If a blood test shows that magnesium levels are low, a supplement might be helpful. Good food sources of magnesium are pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, halibut, tuna, spinach, and oat bran.

3. Omega-3 fatty acids
These come from foods such as fish, some vegetable oils (canola and soybean), walnuts, and wheat germ. Omega-3 supplements are available as capsules or oils. Studies show that omega-3 fatty acids lower triglycerides but do not affect blood glucose control, total cholesterol, or HDL (good) cholesterol in people with diabetes. In some studies, omega-3 fatty acids also raised LDL (bad) cholesterol. Additional research, particularly long-term studies that look specifically at heart disease in people with diabetes, is needed. Fish oil can also interfere with blood-thinning and blood-pressure drugs.

4. Ginseng
Clinical trials examining the effects of American ginseng on diabetes are limited, Weiner says. However, a small study showed that taking 3 grams of American ginseng 40 minutes before a meal helped to reduce post-meal blood sugar levels. While use of ginseng short-term might be safe, it can cause side effects, including itching, insomnia, and nervousness. People with insomnia or a hormone-sensitive condition should avoid ginseng.

5. Alpha-lipoic acid
ALA (Alpha-lipoic acid), also known as lipoic acid or thioctic acid, is a substance similar to a vitamin. As an antioxidant, it protects against cell damage caused by free radicals. ALA is found in liver, spinach, broccoli, and potatoes. People with type 2 diabetes take ALA supplements to help their body use insulin more efficiently. ALA has also been used to prevent or treat diabetic neuropathy (a nerve disorder).

6. Bitter melon
Despite its name, bitter melon is a vegetable also found in supplement form. There is some evidence that botanicals like bitter melon have glucose-lowering properties.

7. Cinnamon
In some studies suggest that cinnamon may improve blood sugar levels in some people. Try adding cinnamon – make sure it’s the unsweetened kind – to oatmeal or other foods, or sprinkle it in your coffee.
