Traditional Indian medicine, herb Salacia oblonga may help treat
diabetes Posted By: News-Medical in Medical Study News
Published: Tuesday, 8-Feb-2005 Printer Friendly Email to a
Friend : : : : Herbs used in traditional Indian medicine to
treat diabetes seems to lower blood sugar and insulin levels in
a manner similar to prescription drugs, a new study reports.
Researchers gave extracts of the herb Salacia oblonga to 39
healthy adults, and the results were promising. The largest dose
of the herb extract – 1,000 milligrams – decreased insulin and
blood glucose levels by 29 and 23 percent, respectively. : :
“These kinds of reductions are similar to what we might see with
prescription oral medications for people with diabetes,” said
Steve Hertzler, a study co-author and an assistant professor of
nutrition at Ohio State University. : : Salacia oblonga, which
is native to regions of India and Sri Lanka, binds to intestinal
enzymes that break down carbohydrates in the body. These
enzymes, called alpha-glucosidases, turn carbohydrates into
glucose, the sugar that circulates throughout the body. If the
enzyme binds to the herbal extract rather than to a
carbohydrate, then less glucose gets into the blood stream,
resulting in lowered blood glucose and insulin levels. : :
“Lowering blood glucose levels lowers the risk of
disease-related complications in people with diabetes,” Hertzler
said. “Also, poor compliance with diabetes medications often
hinders the effectiveness of these drugs. It may be easier to
get someone to take an herb with food or in a beverage, as
opposed to a pill.” : : The study appears in a recent issue of
the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. : :
Thirty-nine healthy adults participated in four separate meal
tolerance tests. These meals, which were given in beverage form,
were spaced three to 14 days apart. Each participant fasted for
at least 10 hours before consuming the test beverage. : :
Participants were asked to drink about two cups’ worth of the
chilled beverage, which contained zero, 500, 700 or 1,000
milligrams of Salacia oblonga extract. Afterward, the
researchers used the finger-prick method to draw blood samples
from each person every 15 to 30 minutes for three hours. These
blood samples were used to determine insulin and blood glucose
concentrations. The biggest changes in blood glucose and insulin
levels usually happen within the first two hours after eating. :
: The beverage that contained the highest concentration of the
herbal extract – 1,000 milligrams – provided the most dramatic
reduction in insulin and blood glucose levels. Insulin levels
were 29 percent lower, while blood glucose levels were 23
percent lower as compared to the control drink, which contained
no herbal extract. : : As Salacia oblonga can cause intestinal
gas, the researchers had the study participants collect breath
hydrogen samples hourly for eight hours after drinking the test
beverage. The participants collected their breath in small
plastic tubes. The researchers then analyzed these breath
samples for hydrogen and methane content – the level of either
substance in the breath corresponds to the level contained in
the colon. : : The subjects also rated the frequency and
intensity of nausea, abdominal cramping and distention and gas
for two days after consuming each test meal. : : While the test
beverages containing Salacia oblonga caused an increase in
breath hydrogen excretion, reports of gastrointestinal
discomfort were minimal, Hertzler said. : : Right now he and his
colleagues are trying to figure out what dose of the herb is
most effective, and when it should be taken relative to a meal.
: : “We want to know how long it takes for the herb to bind to
the enzymes that break down carbohydrates,” Hertzler said. “The
participants in this study took the herb with their meal, but
maybe taking it before eating would be even more effective.” : :
The researchers also want to study the effects of Salacia
oblonga in people with diabetes. : : “A lot of studies show that
lowering blood sugar levels reduces the risk for all kinds of
diabetes-related complications, such as kidney disease and nerve
and eye damage,” Hertzler said. “We want to see if this herb has
this kind of effect.” : : Salacia oblonga is still relatively
difficult to find in the United States, Hertzler said, although
there are manufacturers that sell the herb through the Internet.
: : This study was supported by the Ross Products Division of
Abbott Laboratories in Columbus. : : Hertzler is continuing to
conduct Salacia oblonga studies with the Ross Products Division
of Abbott Laboratories. He has no links to the company beyond
this affiliation. : : Hertzler conducted the work with former
Ohio State colleague Patricia Heacock, who is now at Rutgers,
the State University of New Jersey; Jennifer Williams, a
clinical scientist with Ross Products Division, Abbott
Laboratories; and Bryan Wolf, a former research scientists with
Ross Products Division

Throughout most of my life, I have heard that “You are what you
eat!” Then later, as I became more knowledgeable about
nutrition, it became “You are what you eat, digest, and absorb!”

Our world is changing daily. Over the years the quality of our
food supplies has also changed. Your grandparents, and possibly
even your parents, would purchase food from the grocery store
that was not so heavily-laden with chemicals as it is today. Or,
perhaps, they grew much of their own food.

I spent several years growing my own vegetables and then either
canning or freezing many of them. They were grown organically,
chemical free, and were delicious. While at that time of my
life, I just heard that “organic” was better for you, I didn’t
know much about why “organic” was better for you. But I did know
things tasted better.

Basically, the same thing rings true with our meats. The cows
that used to roam freely in the pasture, getting most of their
nourishment from the grass, went to the locker plant mostly
chemical free. Today they graze on grass that is heavily
fertilized and had weed killers used on it. They are fed grains
with chemicals added to help them put on weight faster.

So, even if the consumer is trying to purchase purely
healthy-type foods, there are some increased health risks
because of the added chemicals.

However, I believe that the biggest health problems are brought
about by what choices consumers make. When I go to the super
market, I see grocery carts stacked to the brim with hot dogs,
white breads, sweets, potato chips, soft drinks and other items
that do nothing positive for a person’s health! In many cases,
the person pushing that shopping cart, is extremely overweight.

And then the same people who stack their grocery carts with junk
food wonder why they develop health problems. While genetics
does play a certain role in people’s health, most diseases and
illnesses are nutrition related.

Even people who have been careful with what they eat will be
subjected to chemicals in their food and environmental
pollutants. Do you ever paint, fertilize your grass, or use
chlorine bleach in your home? If you don’t have a water filter
on your shower head, you will be absorbing some chemicals each
time you shower. Is your drinking water filtered? Thus, even the
people with good nutrition habits will find the need to detoxify
and get rid of the poisons that have accumulated in their bodies
over the years.

What about the junk-food eaters? I consider junk food to be
greasy foods, white breads, pastries, candy, sugar products,
potato chips, soft drinks, and the list could go on and on. The
more things you violate in your diet, the more likely you are to
get hit with one or more diseases, such as heart disease,
cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
etc. Also, the more likely you are to just plain feel bad, lack
energy or get frequent colds.

So, when something happens, you go to the doctor, who may
prescribe something to make you feel better. However, you still
need to take control of your own health in order to prevent more
things from happening to you in the future!

Here are some suggestions: 1.Eliminate most of the “junk” food.
2.Make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables everyday.
3.Drink plenty of water, preferably filtered. 4.If you are not
having daily bowel movements, add a fiber product. Drinking
plenty of water with the fiber will help prevent constipation.
5.Take high quality vitamin and mineral supplements. 6.Exercise.
7.Detoxify. The previous points will help the body to detoxify.
However, you may need additional detoxification to rid the body
of toxins that have built-up over the years.

One word of caution. Don’t make major changes all at once!
That’s too hard on your body. In fact, if you can locate a
naturopathic physician or a good nutritionist in your area, it
would probably be wise of you to consult with that person before
undergoing serious dietary changes.

To summarize the main point in this article: the more you take
responsibility for your own health, the better chance you have
to stay healthy and not be a victim of any diseases or
illnesses.

The unfortunate truth about medical errors is that they plague
the poor and uninsured, reflecting the great medical inequality
in our country. For those who do not consider medical errors to
be a problem, consider this: medical errors kill between 44,000
and 98,000 Americans every year. This reflects the fact that
medical errors kill more people per year than breast cancer,
AIDS, or motor vehicle accidents. Doctors complain of inflated
medical malpractice insurace costs, but medication-related
errors for hospitalized patients cost around $2 billion annually.

The 41 million uninsured Americans exhibit consistently worse
clinical outcomes than insured patients with the same maladies
and are at increased risk for dying prematurely. Only 55% of
patients in a recent random sample of adults received
recommended care in treatments and preventative treatments, and
the lag between the discovery of a new medicine and its adoption
by doctors is 17 years. You could suffer from an ailment and not
receive the proper treatment simply because your doctor is not
well educated about treatments that were invented almost two
decades ago!

The problem is not restricted to administering too little
medication. Every year millions of people are unnecessarily
hospitalized. Using excessive, unnecessary antibiotics to kill
infections outright is a widespread practice that, while curing
individual patients, cause strains of a disease to mutate and
grow stronger, resulting in more serious infections for the
entire population. In 1993, excessive antibiotics were
prescribed in 20 million cases, and by now that number has
multiplied.

Adverse drug reactions, procedural errors, and nosocomial
infections are all aspects of medical error. Surveys have found
that medical error is the norm in many instances. Medical error
actually occurs in the majority of patients suffering from
diabetes, hypertension, tobacco addiction, hyperlipidemia,
congestive heart failure, asthma, depression, and atrial
fibrillation. If you have any reason to believe that your
doctors have administered an inappropriate treatment, prescribed
unnecessary hospitalization, or otherwise jeopardized your
wellbeing, consult a lawyer right away. GA
