AloeVera-Diabetes Trials

• As for the trials already conducted, the majority of them were done in Turkey and Thailand. One of the studies was organized by Mahidol University scientists (Bangkok, Thailand). Thirty-six patients were given one tablespoon of 80% Aloe Vera Juice twice a day during 42 days. Another thirty-six patients from the control group received similarly flavored carminative mixture.

By the end of the trial blood sugar and triglycerides levels in the treatment group were significantly reduced (to 43% and 45% of the initial values correspondingly). Cholesterol levels remained unchanged. It is important to note that no adverse reactions (weight gain, appetite changes) were reported.

• Another study at the same University discovered that Aloe Vera possesses the power to reduce blood sugar levels in patients unresponsive to glibenclamide – a medication used to stimulate pancreas function. In fact, it was reported that Aloe Vera given alone showed the same results as the combination of the above mentioned medicine and the herb.
• Long-lasting trials also report about Aloe Vera effectiveness in blood sugar levels reduction. For example, a five-year study showed a significant drop in the glucose level of 3,167 diabetic patients, who were given parboiled Aloe Vera leaves (120 grams twice a day).

Mucilaginous polysaccharides are long chain sugar compounds that our body’s cells utilize to help repair themselves. We stop making these sugars after adolescence and depend upon outside sources of it to aid in damaged cell repair.

Diabetes is a life-long disease marked by high level of sugar in the blood. It can be caused by too little insulin (hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar), resistance to insulin or both. There are two types of diabetes namely Type I and Type II. Diabetes Type II can be reduced by regular daily exercise and by maintaining a healthy body weight.

This condition is quickly becoming a global epidemic… 171, 000, 000 people suffered from it in 2005. And it is projected to grow to 366 000 000 by 2030 … a 114% increase! In fact, many medical researchers now believe that for every person diagnosed with diabetes, there will be two more individuals in a state of ‘pre-diabetes, resulting in more than 1,000,000,000 diabetic sufferers around the world
