Is it possible that one single supplement can cure type 2 diabetes?<\/p>\nIs it possible that one single supplement can cure type 2 diabetes?<\/p>\n
A supplement that\u2019s available in all health food stores!<\/p>\n
Yes, says a new study published in the journal Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy.<\/em><\/p>\n Traditional medicine often makes use of ginkgo biloba supplements, but their use in modern medicine is often laughed off as an ineffective fad. <\/p>\n A new study has just concluded that they might be effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, published in the journal Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy.<\/em><\/p>\n In this study, the scientists first produced type 2 diabetes in a group of 40 rats, by feeding them a high-fat diet for eight weeks before injecting them with a low dose of streptozotocin, a substance that destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.<\/p>\n They then divided the rats into four groups: <\/p>\n –\ta control group without diabetes, Needless to say, the diabetic group treated with nothing remained sick.<\/p>\n But even though the researchers expected the groups treated with ginkgo biloba and magnetic water to improve, they were stunned when they noticed the size of the effect.<\/p>\n The pancreatic beta cells in these two groups started increasing in mass and in their ability to produce insulin. The ginkgo-biloba-treated rats, especially, displayed such an improvement in pancreatic beta-cell function that their pancreatic beta cells almost resembled the cells of the rats without diabetes\u2026<\/p>\n …meaning: you could say these rats were cured!<\/p>\n Both the treatments also reduced oxidative stress and oxidative damage caused by diabetes to pancreatic cells.<\/p>\n But results for rats and results for humans always differ a little. And although human studies have proved ginkgo biloba effective, it\u2019s only a part of the type 2 diabetes cure puzzle.<\/p>\n
