Chinese herbal formulas offer a wonderful tool set for many conditions. I have seen patients get off many medications using Chinese herbs. Possible side effect include contamination (heavy metal) adulteration (chemicals added), and other quality control issues.
Given the melamine disaster, it is likely that quality improvements will occur. Plum Flower is a decent brand. There are others with much stricter quality control especially coming from japan.
Drink green tea don’t you knowest that chinese people don’t get cancer and die fast because of GREEN TEA this chinese lady told my husband that and we been drinking it ever since.
I think that a lot of the time chinese medicine is better. When i was having asthma problems, i went to my american doctor and they gave me all sorts of pills and controllers and it made it worse. Then my mom convinced me to use chinese medicine and it really worked. Chinese medicine is usually a bunch of herbs that are good for you anyways. It shouldn’t be harmful unless you’re allergic. And it really works- i always say that american medicine is good for antibiotics and pain relievers, but chinese meds are good if you really want to be healed naturally and effectively.
What exactly are your glucose levels now? What about your HbA1c? If you can show me that they’re low or at goal then I just might believe you.
The role of meds is to stimulate insulin action in your body so if 8 mg of Avandia doesn’t work, then most probably you need a larger dose or you need to add or switch to another medication.
Untreated diabetes mellitus can lead to all sorts of bad complications later on such as damage to eyes, nerves and kidneys. I hope you don’t regret your decision to stop your DM meds.
However, if what you claim is true, then wow, this could be a new drug for diabetes.
