Diabetes Treatment Herbs - Gimnea Silvestre

An herb from India has enabled diabetics to lower or stop taking insulin.
We import it directly from India to you.
It reverses diabetes by repairing and regenerating damaged pancreas cells. It even helps those with juvenile onset diabetes.

Insulin injections don't cure diabetes. They enable you to to live with it.. if you call injecting yourself multiple times day "living".
Doctors do not cure diabetes, either. They are very good at monitoring your blood sugar level and telling you when to take your medication, but they
are very poor at getting you off of medication. Exceptions are rare.

But now things have changed. Ever since a few of us in the international medical community opened people's eyes to the wider world, we have been
rediscovering hundreds of incredibly effective cures from abroad.

In the case of diabetes, the cure* has come from India, where for centuries doctors have used the leaves of the Gymnema sylvestre plant to treat
adultoneset diabetes. Their patients' outcomes were good, but nothing closed to miraculous (this is because they were using just the raw leaves.)

Our high-tech scientific contribution to the ancient remedy was in creating and testing several extracts from the leaves.
One of the extracts turned out to be winner in human testing:
It lowers your blood sugar.
It lowers your insulin requirements.
It normalizes cholesterol and tryglycerides.
Most important, it raises your your production of insulin by repairing diseased pancreas cells - or generating new ones!

Don't think of this Gymnema Sylvestre extract as merely a nice boost for a tired pancreas. In tests on rats, it was found that the size and weight of
their pancreas glands shot way up. The cells that produce insulin more than doubled!

Two of the tests included people with juvenile-oneset diabetes, and it worked on them, too. That's unprecedented.
It's taken orally - no needles needed. In other words, this extract is the answer to every diabetic's prayer.

Pulmonary Aspergillosis and Invasive Disease in AIDS

Aspergillosis is an infrequent but commonly fatal infection among HIV-infected individuals. We review 342 cases of pulmonary Aspergillus infection that have been reported among HIV-infected patients, with a focus on invasive disease. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis usually occurs among patients with <50>3. Major predisposing conditions include neutropenia and steroid treatment. Fever, cough, and dyspnea are each present in >60% of the cases. BAL is often suggestive, but biopsy specimens are necessary for definite diagnosis. Amphotericin B is the mainstay of treatment and mortality is >80%. Avoiding neutropenia and judicious use of steroids may be helpful in prevention. Aggressive diagnostic approach, early initiation of treatment, adequate dosing of antifungals, and close follow-up may improve the currently dismal prognosis.

Pulmonary neoplastic and lymphoproliferative disease in AIDS

Neoplastic disease (tumors) frequently occur in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The two most commonly found neoplastic diseases are Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), a cancer of the skin and other tissues, and lymphoma, cancer of the lymphatic system. KS often invades the lungs and chest of AIDS patients, and lymphoma may also be found. X-ray diagnosis is often difficult because lung infection will mask these diseases. Lung biopsy is required for a definite diagnosis. KS in the lungs may be localized, but is usually diffuse (widespread), which inhibits diagnosis because it can be confused with lung infections when viewed on an X-ray. There are clues that can help to diagnose it, for example KS is usually found in other parts of the body if it is affecting the lungs, and pleural fluid will often be found, with spitting of blood from the lungs (hemoptysis). Lymphoma is not as commonly found in the lungs of AIDS patients. The lymphomas that are seen are predominately of the high-grade (aggressive) type. Lymphadenopathy (disease and swelling of the lymph nodes) is seen in the thoracic (chest) regions as well as most other regions in the AIDS patient. When found in the thoracic region, it is often indicative of mycobacterial infections. Lymphoid interstitial pneumonia is a rare pneumonia of unknown cause. It is increasingly being found in AIDS patients, and is highly indicative of AIDS when found in children. Other types of lung diseases are increasingly being reported. The indications are that a number of such diseases will increasingly be seen in the future because of AIDS. (Consumer Summary produced by Reliance Medical Information, Inc.)

Dostinex for Brain tumor (benign)- prolactinoma

I have been on Dostinex for 5 years for a tumor. Believe it

or not, the first year I was on 1mg a day. Good thing I had insurance!!!! It reduced the prolactin to normal levels. But, the tumor continued to grow. My libido was near the level when I was 17 years old walking around high school with a perpetual hard-on. ;) After a year, I had surgery. Removed about 75% of it. One issue with Dostinex, it makes the tumor difficult for the surgeon to work on. The past 4 years I have been on .5mg a day. My libido is great. Although, it caused a lot of stress in my marriage. My ex-wife liked me better before, when I had no sex drive. I could count how many times we had sex each YEAR on one finger!
Anyway, when I was on 1mg a day. There were some side effects. For me, I had ringing in my ears and when I closed my eyes, I would see light flashes like a dim fireworks display. Now I'm on .5mg a day and no side effects.
Meanwhile, life goes on.... but now with amazing sex!!!! ;)

NEUROENGINEERING MODELS OF BRAIN DISEASE

Abstract The techniques of computational simulation have begun to be applied to modeling neurological disease and mental illness. Such neuroengineering models provide a conceptual bridge between molecular/cellular pathology and cognitive performance. We consider models of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. Each of these diseases involves a disorder of neuromodulation coupled with underlying neuronal pathology. Parallels arising between these models suggests that a common set of computational mechanisms may account for functional loss across a spectrum of brain diseases. In particular, we focus on attractor-based network dynamics and how they arise from neural architectures, on mechanisms for linking sequences of attractor states and their role in cognition, and on the role of neuromodulation in controlling these processes. These studies suggest new approaches to understanding the forebrain circuits underlying cognition, and point toward a new tool for dissecting the pathophysiology of brain disease.
