Diabetes Drug Alternatives

Help is on the way for diabetes patients who are sick of suffering from unwanted side-effects of Western drugs like those found in TZD groups and metformin.

Often, diabetes patients are forced to live with an alarming amount of weight gain from these drugs, which commonly treat type 2 diabetes.

The Garvan Institute in Sydney, Australia has been working with Korean, Chinese and Australian researchers and has found scientific evidence in animals that indicates there could be a natural treatment for diabetes with little or no side effects.

So what is this wonder drug that comes straight from Mother Nature? Berberine!

Berberine is a natural component found in the roots and bark of many plants. It has been thought to be a natural healing product in traditional Chinese medicine for many years, but this is the first scientific research to back up those claims.

In addition to working as a natural remedy for diabetes in the future, previous uses of this herbal remedy have included treatments for diarrhea and open wounds.
