Over 20 clinical studies, patent awards and independent evaluations confirm that a natural food found in Southern India, used for centuries by ancient bush people, provides Type 2 diabetics with lower blood sugar and weight levels.
Type 2 diabetics in the United States have become wary of pharmaceutical companies.
When heavily researched and touted products, such as Avandia, are found to have serious and sometimes fatal side effects, a growing number of suffering diabetics have sought out alternative or holistic remedies.
Even the pharmaceutical companies themselves are considering natural foods and ingredients as remedies for serious illnesses such as diabetes.
In addition to pharma companies, if you Google the Internet, you’re sure to find numerous companies hawking the latest sure-cure, snake oil, promising to eliminate Type 2 diabetes and give you a happy life.
Unfortunately, few of these alternative remedies work. Some are even harmful. Which gives natural products that truly help a bad name. One such product is garcinia cambogia.
Drawing on ancient folk wisdom from India, a natural, wild-growing food – garcinia cambogia, has been found by local Indians and American scientists to be highly effective in countering Type 2 diabetes conditions.
Dr. Harry Preuss, a professor at the prestigious Georgetown University Medical Center, has conducted multiple, double-blind placebo studies on this product and found it to be highly effective for restoring diabetic health.
Based on this research in which participants were given a supplement form of garcinia cambogia, Dr. Preuss found that it helped participants to lose weight (not muscle mass), lower blood sugar levels, reduce cholesterol and blood pressure.
In his book, The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy, Dr. Preuss notes the benefits of this natural food (it’s active ingredient, HCA, is found in the dried rind) and recommends it’s use for both healthy individuals and Type 2 sufferers.
Dr. Preuss also strongly recommends that any natural food or supplement be accompanied by a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
The plant and it history
The dried fruit rind of Garcinia cambogia is a rich source of HCA, and has been used for centuries as a spice, flavor-enhancer, preservative and digestive aid throughout Southeast Asia.
Thus, it has a long history of consumption in countries where the plant is native. Structurally, HCA is similar to the common food additive citric acid, which also occurs naturally in citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons. A high bioavailability form HCA has been produced and studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in humans.
A primary mode of HCA action appears to be its ability to inhibit ATP-citrate lyase, an enzyme that helps to form the building blocks of fatty acids and cholesterol.
