Growth Hormone HGH and improvement of heart function

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

This newer study will be of interest especially to those who have
some knowledge of the role metabolic syndrome plays in diabetes
and prediabetes. Syndrome X it used to be called, involves low
HGH and IGF-1 levels producing a cascade of bad or very bad
scenarios. One, impaired cardiac size and function described
here, can be reversed even after it has occurred, because all the
muscles and organs improve with the therapy.

Earlier studies similarly improved cardiac function; improvement
was noted in other studies using heart attack patients.

Salvia Divinorum — the use of Ska María Pastora in Healing and
Divination

Many Salvia species are used medicinally throughout the world,
and the genus name itself comes from the Latin salvare, to save.
The Middle English name for sage was save or saue, from the Latin
Salvia via Old English Saluie) (Oxford English Dictionary, 1971),
and Chaucer mentions it as a cure for wounds and broken limbs in
"The Knightes Tale" (Chaucer, 1927). Common sage, S. officinalis,
and Clary sage, S. sclarea, have had a long history of use in
treatment of numerous maladies (Grieve, 1971). S. miltiorrhiza,
or tan-shen, is one of the five astral remedies in Chinese
medicine, as is jen-shen or ginseng (Panax spp.). This sage is
credited with many tonic properties in the Pen T’sao, published
in 1578 (Smith and Stuart, 1973), and is listed in "A Barefoot

This study just crossed my desk; it reminded me that at least a
couple of members of the diabetesclub need to know this:

High BG in morning

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Just wondering if anyone can help. My husband has had high BG
readings when he wakes up after fasting from around 8:30 at night till
morning. His mom was here with her meter and checked him and then he
went and got his own meter because the readings were higher than
normal. He is running between 130 and 160 in the morning most days.
He has not been diagnosed yet although we are going to the doctor to
get this checked out. Since he found out it was high, he has been
eating very low carb, exercising every day and has lost about 14
pounds. For a few days it went down into the normal range, now it is
back up again. The funny part is, when he eats a higher carb meal
(i.e. we went to eat at fish place on Friday and he ate, fried
catfish, oysters, crab, shrimp, coleslaw) the next morning it was
lower than when he eats a very low carb as in 20 carbs or less for
dinner the nigh before. Can anyone explain this to me? We are just
totally confused by what we need to do and I have to say, he is

Re: Digest Number 1402

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

Hi all - I’ve been lurking for a while, but I am trying to manage my mild
type 2 diabetes with diet and supplements. I was just surfing the web and I was
curious about the following e-book: The Diabetes Miracle Breakthrough by Mark
Anastasi. Is anyone familiar with it? Does he really have a diabetes
breakthrough? What types of supplements and diet does he recommend?

I currently take bitter melon, cinnamon, gymnema and banaba. I also take
flaxseed oil, policosanol, and red yeast rice. Has anyone had any experience
with pullalan? Are there any side effects to the pullalan, especially stomach
distress? I cannot take any fiber type supplements like fenugreek because it
produces too much gas. Does anyone have any experience with vanadium? I have
heard some negative things about it. Thank you.

The China Study

Saturday, November 11th, 2006

Dr. Campbell’s "The China Study" (a PCRM vegan Dr.) - Cancer: Rice and
Soy Milk/Casein
by Dr. Flora van Orden III

Studies showed that casein, a protein in all milk products (and even
used in many ’soy’ and ‘rice’ cheeses) increased cancer 100% of the
time when introduced at any stage of cancer development…. cancer
growth could be reversed as well as expanded and contracted just by
changing the amounts of animal protein consumed… no danger when
plant proteins were eaten, even at higher percentages.

For the first 27 years of his career, Dr. Campbell’s [T. Colin
Campbell, MD, PhD, The China Study] studies, exposing the deleterious
health effects of meat and dairy foods, were funded largely by the
National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society and the
