Diabetes DefeatedThis is the story of how one member of the Health Sciences Institute (HSI) got off insulin in six

weeks after nine years on prescription drugs! And if only shed known about this blood sugar sup-

plement she could have prevented the whole problem before it ever started!

Catherine Downs was a 56-year-old with diabetes. She had been on insulin and oral prescription

medications for nine years when she agreed to test a new natural solution. Within six weeks, she

stopped not only her insulin but another prescription drug as well.

You read that right: In just six weeks an alternative doctor solved a problem that mainstream

medicine couldnt handle in nine years and for thousands of dollars. The fact is that it costs the typi-cal diabetic around $10,000 a yearfor treatment. Conventional medicine soaked this woman for

maybe $90,000 to treat a medical problem that plant remedies cured in no time at all! A standard

diabetes test showed Catherine went from severely diabetic to healthy in the course of the treatment.

But this diabetes breakthrough almost didnt happen. Believe it or not, Jon Barron, the acclaimed

researcher who found this remedy, wanted nothing to do with creating a diabetes treatment. He

thought it would be a mistake to use herbs and nutrients to manage the symptoms of diabetes rather

than addressing the root cause mainly the way we eat.

40 Percent of Americans At Risk

What changed Jons mind was the galloping diabetes epidemic all around us. Nearly 20 million

Americans already have full-blown diabetes, and up to 40 percent of the rest of us are pre-diabetic.

Diabetes is the No. 6 cause of death in the United States, and its destined to move up the charts

pretty quickly, given the way we eat. Its hard to believe, but the average American scarfs down 152

pounds of sugar a year.

Its easy to do, even if you think youre being careful. For instance, sodas contain as much as a teaspoon

of sugar per ounce. Theres sugar in catsup, salad dressing, organic cereals...in practically everything.

The key is to balance your blood sugar nowbefore you get sick. We take natural supplements

for cholesterol and blood pressure. Isnt it about time for a natural solution to diabetes? Jon Barrondecided it was...

Seven herbs tackle diabetes seven different ways

Barron came at his solution from a wholly unique angle. Instead of just following the mainstream

approach, Barron addressed the fact that diabetes was the wrong point of attack. Thats because dia-

betes is the symptom of a metabolic problem, not the cause. So instead of dealing with that end

result, Barron developed a formula to help optimize the bodys ability to metabolize sugar properly.

Before formulating his product, Barron analyzed all the studies and competing claims for natural

diabetes treatments and sugar-regulating formulas. Ayurvedic medicine (the ancient tradition of India), for

example, offers 44 different natural remedies for diabetes. Other traditions offer dozens more. After

much study, Barron narrowed the menu down to six that had the best chance of creating a thorough,root-cause approach to maximizing the bodys ability to metabolize sugar. Then, on the heels of a new

discovery, he added the seventh potent ingredient to come up with the ideal sugar metabolic enhance-

ment formula. You may have heard of the first two ingredients below from other sources, but you

probably cant name the other fiveand thats where Barrons unique research expertise comes in.

The first ingredient is fenugreek. In a recent study, researchers saw a 54% drop in urinary glucose

levelsthe test doctors often use to identify diabetics. But to get the most benefit, patients had to eat a

huge amount of fenugreeka pretty unpleasant undertaking. The stuff tastes terrible (its extremely

bitter), and comes with some pretty unpleasant side effects (like foul-smelling sweat and urine) when

you eat a lot of it. Now a new extract concentrates the active ingredient in fenugreek, making muchsmaller doses possible and getting rid of those smelly side effects.

In India they call gymnema sylvestre, a traditional Ayurvedic diabetes remedy, the sugar destroy-

er. Heres why: A protein in the plant makes you lose your craving for sugar and may actually prevent

you from digesting some of the sugar you DO eat. Plus, gymnema seems to regenerate pancreas cells,

allowing your body to produce more insulin. In an 18-month gymnema study, most test subjects were

able to reduce their medication and some were able to get rid of drugs altogether. Best of all, no one

has reported any adverse side effects of gymnema. Not one.

Konjac mannan is a potent, rare Asian herb youve probably never heard of, but its been proven

effective in clinical trials. In fact, in a 65-day trial, 72 patients with adult-onset diabetes who tookkonjac saw their fasting blood sugar levels drop an average of 51.8 percent and their levels after eating

drop 84.6 percent!

The nopal cactus (a.k.a. the prickly pear cactus) is just gaining recognition in the natural medicine

world. Theres not a lot of clinical research into its medicinal benefits yet, but several small studies sug-

gest that eating nopal leaves with a meal can help contain even reduce serum glucose levels.

Individuals with type 2 diabetes have experienced a 10 to 20 percent reduction in blood sugar levels

after eating nopal.

Banaba leaf extracthas been shown to lower blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes by

up to 30%. It also helped the people in the trial keep tighter control over glucose fluctuations. Best ofall, banaba appears to encourage weight losswithout any major dietary changes.

Bitter melon contains at least three components that act on blood sugar and clinical trials con-

firm its effectiveness for managing glucose levels.

The final ingredient is a patented cinnamon extract called Cinnulin PF which ramps up the over-

all effectiveness of the supplement. In fact, Cinnulin PF actually works to make the insulin receptor sites

on your individual body cells more receptiveand that means your body can use its own insulin more

efficiently.

Barron put all these ingredients together into a highly beneficial supplement he called Glucotor v.2.

Here are just some of the astounding results seen in six-week Phase I Clinical Trials conducted using

this formula :

Blood sugar levels dropped by an average 54.4 points

An average 52% improvement in blood sugar utilization and optimization, meaning

that participants bodies learned to handle sugar more efficiently

Improved carbohydrate metabolism (meaning that patients metabolic systems han-

dled dietary carbs more effectively) by an average 39%

An average weight loss of 5.5 pounds

This sugar metabolic enhancement formula, which can help control diabetes from the right angle,

is just one great example of how members benefit from being part of the Health Sciences Institute

(HSI) network. Thanks to our inside, confidential sources, we were able to follow the development and

testing process and bring this breakthrough to our members as soon as it became available. To learn

A Word of Caution: If youre on prescription medicationsand even if you arentyou need the

guidance of a qualified health professional before you try this remedy.
