Hi Myra,

Quite the contrary! This bit of info is taken from Michael

Murray's informative book, " The Healing Power of Herbs. "

He says and I quote. " The dosage for Gymnema sylvestre is 400 mgs

per day in both type I and type II diabetes. It is interesting to

note that gymnema extract is without side effects and exerts its

blood sugar lowering effects ONLY in cases of diabetes! Gymnema

extract, when given to hypoglycemics or healthy volunteeres does NOT

produce ANY blood sugar lowering or hypoglycemic effect! "

 

There is evidence that gymnema revitalizes and regenerates the beta

cells of the pancreas which enables us to maintain normal blood

sugar control. I am well aware that the majority of Diabetic DRUGS

do plunge diabetics into hypoglycemia. This is typically the way

they work! I observed this first hand. Herbs are natural substances

and they work with the body to improve blood sugar control so there

is quite a difference!

 

Cheers, JoAnn

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving!
