Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine; Let's focuses on new reviews on several studies showing that the plant alkaloid "Berberine" can lower blood glucose as effectively just as the drug metformin does at similar doses (500 mg, taken 3 times/day), and perhaps even better in some ways.

Berberine is found in Coptis chinensis, Goldenthread, Goat Rue/bane know as French Lilac and, others are; Berberis aquifolium (Oregon grape), Berberis vulgaris (barberry) that we may be more familar in using, *Hydrastis canadensis (Goldenseal), and Berberis aristata (tree turmeric). These herbs also have similar attributes as Metformin Hydrochloride. (Goat's Beard (arungus) is not the same herb as G. Rue.)

Other Antibiabetic Herbs are: Aloe, Bitter Mellon, Bilberry, Barberry, Burdock, Dandelion, Fenugreek, Garlic, Gymnema. Many of these herbs work to clear the over liver of sugar and toxins.
Cautions: Antibiabetic herbs may cause hypoglycemia (lower blood sugars) if used with anti diabetic agents. Goldenseal Root (Hydrastis canadensis) and Oregon grape root (Mahonia spp.) Herbal Industries have practically wipe out the wild Goldenseal out of existence in N. America lands by not replenishing it for quick, easy profits. We need some regulations on wild plants, not to stop us from gathering it but how we do. People are unmannerly who never think about others- the "me" generation. Look at Congress-Washington examples that's trickling on down...or is it up?

THOUGHTS ON REASON WHY WE HAVE TOO MANY DIABETIC TODAY; Their is no magic cures: Insulin Resistance is simply too much sugar intake in the cells. SIMPLY STOP eating excess SUGAR!..OTHER THAN A TOTAL OF ELEVEN TABLESPOONS A DAY. The rest stores sugar in your cells and changes into "fatty livers." It can also, be causing "high cholesterol" and "high blood pressure" (Salt is not the in-direct culprit; this causes water backing up the "pluming" and with loads of water that indirectly causes pressure or high pressure.)
A aphrodisiac, exotic herb is Goat Weed (epimedium) has a different botany name and is not the same as goat rue.
