CBS, the Associated Press and other news sources reported today that Avandia the diabetes, "wonder drug", may not be so wonderful after all.
Although Glaxo Smith Kline, the developers opf Avandia, say the benefits outweigh the risk, the New England Journal of Medicine reports that people taking Avandia to help lower their blood sugars may face a 43% higher chance of heart problems, and a 64% higher chance of cardiovascular problems while taking the drug.
It is reported that last year the Avandia developer changed the medicine's label to reflect this higher risk. They are recommending that patients who take Avandia not stop taking the drug on their own because of possible uncontrolled rises in blood sugar. Such patients should confer with their doctors.
We agree with the advice that patients not cease taking Avandia. However, people have to begin to put pressure on their doctors to recommend natural treatments for diabetes and other chronic conditions. We simply are getting tired of revelation after revelation about these chemically manufactured "cures".

Gymnema Sylvestre Gum
Whether or not one has diabetes many people have a difficult time controlling their sugar cravings. Sugar, especially refined sugar can have a number of negative effects on the body. For those with diabetes sugar can be particularly damaging. A rare Indian herb known as Gymnema sylvestre gum may reduce sugar cravings in those with and without diabetes.
Known as gurmar in its native India, gymnema sylvestre is a tropical plant of the milkweed family. Its ancient Sanskrit name means "sugar destroyer." It is a totally natural substance that has been used for years
Gymnema leaves have been used for centuries in the traditional Indian system of Ayurvedic medicine. The term "destroyer of sugar" is traditionally used for Gymnema because chewing the leaves will abolish the taste of sweetness. After chewing gymnema sylvestre gum, sweet foods and drinks can’t be tasted because it temporarily blocks sweet receptors on the tongue. The effects of gymnema sylvestre last about thirty minutes. Participants in studies tended to consume fewer sweet-tasting foods and drinks after using gymnema sylvestre.
