GLUCOLEVE™ (60 capsules/bottle) $23.55
* * SUPPORT FOR HEALTHY BLOOD SUGAR BALANCE.
DIABETES - THE PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder characterized by impaired carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism resulting in high blood sugar levels, presently affects more than 150 million worldwide. Attributed to the lack or dysfunction of the hormone insulin, which is produced by specialized beta cells in the islets of langerhans in the pancreas, diabetes has become the leading cause for the development of related disorders such as kidney disease, blindness, cardiovascular disease, impotence and gangrene. Symptoms of diabetes include increased frequency of urination, increased and often extreme thirst, increased appetite, weight loss, irritability, and fatigue.
There are two types of diabetes, Type I and Type II. Type I diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood and involves such a severe depletion of insulin that it must be taken by injection everyday. Type II diabetes is usually diagnosed in adulthood, and most often can be managed with diet and other oral medication rather then insulin injections.
THE CONTROL OF DIABETES IN AFRICAN MEDICINE
Certain African medicinal plants have been experimentally verified as useful in the treatment of diabetes. One plant is Dioscorea dumetorum, marketed under the name “Glucoleve™”. The plant grows primarily in the woodland forest of west Africa. The medicinally active part of the plant are its roots (tubers). It came to be known as “destroyer of sugar” because it was observed that chewing the roots suppressed the taste of sugar. It was also observed that regular use of the root reduced glycosuria, or the appearance of carbohydrates in urine.
Trials using an extract of dried Dioscorea root indicated that it lowers blood sugar levels.
CONCLUSION
By virtue of its hypoglycemic activity, Glucoleve™ has become an important therapeutic aid in supporting healthy blood sugar balance.
Before using this product, talk with your healthcare professional if you take any medications.

Fungal infections are caused by a fungus microbe, occasionally appearing as a growth that resembles fungi. It is very difficult for drugs to overcome due to the fact that fugal cell structure is so similar to normal human cells. Fungal infections are characterized by moist, weepy, red patches on the body with bacterial odor. They do not dry out and may appear as non healing cuts. An infection of this type may only be a symptomatic reaction to an overall body imbalance. Stimulating and rebuilding the immune system is vital to controlling them.
Examples of localized fungal infections are: athlete's foot, nail and skin fungus, vaginitis, ringworm. Systemic fungal infections can manifest and found throughout the body are thrush and candidiasis. They may also be caused by broad spectrum antibiotics that kill friendly digestive flora and lower immune defenses.

GINKGO LIQUID EXTRACT 2 fl oz. $23.95
Improves Mental Alertness - Elevates Mood. Used to relieve tension and anxiety and improve mental alertness, elevate mood and restore energy.
The ginkgo tree (ginkgo biloba) is remarkable in many ways. Although indigenous to Korea, China and Japan, the tree can be found in parks and along city sidewalks around the world. The use of ginkgo leaf extracts can be traced back for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine.
The ginkgo is the oldest living tree species, geological records indicate this plant has been growing on earth for 150-200 million years. Chinese monks are credited with keeping the tree in existence, as a sacred herb. It was first brought to Europe in the 1700’s and it is now a commonly prescribed drug in France and Germany. It is one of the most well-researched herbs in the world.
Today ginkgo biloba is perhaps the most widely used herbal treatment aimed at augmenting cognitive functions, that is- improving memory, learning, alertness, mood and so on.
Ginkgo works by increasing blood flow to the brain and throughout the body’s network of blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the organ systems. It increases metabolism efficiency, regulates neurotransmitters, and boosts oxygen levels in the brain which uses 20% of the body's oxygen.
Ginkgo has been used to relieve tension and anxiety and improve mental alertness, elevate mood and restore energy.
Ginkgo has two groups of active substances, flavonoids and terpene lactones, including ginkgolides A,B, and C, bilobalide, quercetin, and kaempferol. The ginkgolides have been shown to control allergic inflammation, anaphylactic shock and asthma.
Studies have confirmed that ginkgo increases blood flow to the retina, and can slow retinal deterioration resulting in an increase of visual acuity. In clinical tests ginkgo has improved hearing loss in the elderly. It also improves circulation in the extremities relieving cold hands and feet, swelling in the limbs and chronic arterial blockage.
The standard dosage of this extract is 12-15 drops in water or juice, three times daily in between meals.
