He thought it was too late. After three years on the anti-diabetic medication Avandia, nothing changed for Bruce. He was still overweight, lethargic, and his libido vanished years ago.
His doctors insisted that his medication would keep his Type 2 diabetes in check, but not cure him. Bruce felt that the odds of overcoming premature death were insurmountable.
That’s when I assured him that it wasn’t too late to regain his health and live the life of his dreams. He had options, and one of them has served as a simple diabetes cure for decades.
Type 2 diabetes is an epidemic that steals 11 to 20 years of life from its victims. One in three Americans is threatened by it and most don’t even know it. Weight gain, depression, lethargy, and poor mental focus are early signs.
The diabetes scourge kills internally and eventually manifests into the ghastly consequence of hypertension, polycystic ovarian syndrome, erectile dysfunction, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and even cancer.
Working as a drug design chemist, I came across the anti-diabetic compound while reading The Journal of Natural Products – a publication highlighting medicinal compounds from nature. The compound is known as banaba leaf, technically as corosolic acid.
Banaba leaf works like a sheep herder. It guides blood sugar to the muscle cell so that it can be “corralled inside” where it is used as fuel, rather than float aimlessly in the blood. The outcome: high blood sugar plummets to normal levels. But what happens next is simply amazing.
When blood sugar is controlled, our body lowers its production of a fat storing hormone known as insulin. As insulin dissipates, so does belly fat. Health rebounds. Aging slows. It works. And Bruce knew it within two weeks!
I suggested Bruce start using Swanson brand banaba leaf – costing him about $5 per month. To increase absorption and distribution, I encouraged him to take part in high-intensity exercise every other day and only eat three meals per day. Meal rules were simple: If it tasted sweet, spit it out, and he could no longer eat anything served out of a window or a box.
In two weeks, his blood sugar dropped to levels he had not seen in three years on traditional medication. It went from averaging 350 mg/dL to 115. After 90 days, it was back to normal, hovering at about 95.
Bruce was astonished. He wondered why his doctor didn’t prescribe it. I stressed to him that natural medicine didn’t fit the business model of the pharmaceutical industry, which makes money by manufacturing synthetic knock-offs of natural plants. Thus, supplements like banaba leaf are always forgotten about. Worse, the synthetic versions are always pricey and far more dangerous because you can’t mimic Mother Nature in a lab.
Learning how to control blood sugar naturally with banaba is simplest, most inexpensive, and effective way to reverse diabetes and ward off the host of other diseases caused by high blood sugar. People like Bruce who take charge of their health can be set free from the modern-day plague that claims millions of lives every year.
