the benefits of bitter melon and number

two

to be honest with you we use bitter

melon a lot in my practice

now we don't hand bitter melon to

patients of course you know that's kind

of hard to do and people don't know what

to do with it

but it comes in a herbal formulation so

i used to use a lot of or better melon

on my diabetic patients because they can

some of them cannot afford their

medications some of them are just not

medication people they just want

something natural

and for those people we have been using

this a lot now we have been using a lot

of other herbs that i'm going to talk

about

and as you may know that we have a new

supplement it's called

dr ergins sugar md advanced glucose

support

it is available on our website at

sugarmds.com and available

on amazon.com as well so

we use bitter melon in that supplement

we use 12

other herbs why we did that because i

know you guys are

going and buying this supplement that

supplement you know they they kind of

work right they kind of you know when

you get them together

but then you you pay ten dollars for

this fifteen dollars for this and then

next thing you know you have a hundred

dollars two hundred dollars of

supplement

which is the same cost as a medication

so

you know but i what i did here i

actually

collected all those herbs that i know

that worked for my patients

and we created one supplement all in one

together

uh in a pharmaceutical grade product

that is produced in the usa

and we have bitter melon in it now why

do we have bitter melon in it well

better melon is

one of the most potent anti-diabetic

agents it

helps it is very natural it actually not

only helps your blood sugar

it also helps your cholesterol

especially for people with high

triglyceride levels

the triglyceride levels come down bitter

melon also

helps your insulin secretions when you

need it

so as a result you know people who take

bitter melon end up taking less

insulin if they are already on insulin

so

what else the bitter melon also has been

shown to actually reduce the cancer risk

now

the studies are mostly either animal

studies

or retrospective studies and you know

you can find these studies on

pubmed p-u-b-m-e-d that's the

national library for all the scientific

studies and you can read about it if you

have time

melon it is still used in

eastern countries all the time in

western counties as you know

you don't really hear that much you only

hear tv commercials about

the medications that cost hundreds

and sometimes thousands of dollars but

definitely

a better melon is a great alternative to

your diabetic needs now does it have

weight loss

it does actually it does it's not the

greatest weight loss

i don't use it just for the you know

just for weight loss you know i don't

want to promise too much

but it does help it has a modest effect

on weight loss as well so what are we

achieving with

watermelon we are achieving some weight

loss we are achieving anti-cancer

properties we are achieving

lowering the glucose or balance in the

glucose

and we are achieving lowering the

triglyceride levels and overall

cholesterol

levels so again guys if you

supplement at least a week or two

two tablets twice a day and try not to

have snacks

in between your meals and i think you

will

love it because in my practice i use it

all the time and when people use it

correctly

they get the benefit but i would suggest

at least staying on it for a week or two

before you make any judgment on it
