Diabetes can lead to potentially life-threatening complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, amputation. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death. 285 million people have diabetes worldwide, with more than half aged between 20 and 60. If the current rate of growth continues the total number will exceed 435 million by the year 2030.
Pre-diabetes is where it starts, so how do you know if you are at risk? The American Diabetes Association says that fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels below 100 mg/dL are considered to be normal. If your levels are anywhere between 100 mg/dL and 109 mg/dL there is a problem.
Readings just below the 100 mg/dL level are cause or concern about future diabetes. Young men with fasting plasma glucose levels in the high to normal range are at risk for type 2 diabetes, especially if they are heavy and also have high triglyceride levels.
But what many people do not realize yet, is that this concern can be addressed successfully via herbal remedies.
These numbers came from the Lifestyle and Nutritional Assessment in Young Adults, a study including data from 1992 to 2004, tracking a total of 74,309 people. 13,000 were healthy men in the Israeli defense forces, where there were 208 incident cases of type 2 diabetes. One important take-away from this study was that age-adjusted hazard ratios for type 2 diabetes increased with every quintile of the FPG levels. The men in the top quintile had a three-fold higher risk for type 2 diabetes compared to the men in the lowest quintile.
Other important risk factors for type 2 diabetes determined was the serum triglyceride levels of 150 mg per deciliter or higher, combined with fasting plasma glucose levels of 91 to 99 mg/dL. The hazard ratio for this combination was 8.23 for diabetes, compared with those men with a combined triglyceride level of less than 150 mg/dL and FPG and less than 86 mg/dL.
Additional risks were found in men with Body Mass Index (BMI) levels of 30 or more, and an FPG level of 91 to 99 mg/dL. The hazard ratio for this combination was 8.29, compared with those men with an FPG of less than 86 mg/dL and a BMI less than 25 and.
Men and women with fasting plasma glucose levels that are in the high to normal ranges – 87 to 99 mg/dL – should watch their weight, and lifestyle carefully. Many people are seeking alternative herbal remedies to help their conditions.
Patients with pre diabetes are getting excellent results from a Chinese herbal supplement called Pancreton® - a unique herbal supplement that is the hybrid of Oriental medicine wisdom and advanced modern science technology. Designed to support glucose metabolism and pancreatic function, Pancreton helped one patient with glucose levels that fluctuated between 120 to 200. She began taking Pancreton in 2008 and within a half a month, her blood sugar levels started to drop. Canfo’s herbal alternative medicine Pancreton not only helps support glucose metabolism and pancreatic function, but it is reported to improve your energy level, digestive system, constipation, and it can alleviate high blood cholesterol.

Type 2 diabetes was once known as adult-onset or noninsulin-dependent diabetes. This is a chronic condition that affects the way a person’s body metabolizes sugar – or glucose. This is your body’s main source of fuel.
The bottom line is when you have type 2 diabetes, your body is resistant to the effects of insulin. That is a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells. Or your body doesn’t produce enough insulin to maintain a normal glucose level.
When left untreated, the consequences of type 2 diabetes can be life-threatening. Although so far, there’ is no cure for type 2 diabetes, many people manage the condition through eating healthy foods, exercising and maintaining a healthy weight. If diet and exercise is not enough, you may need diabetes medications or insulin therapy to manage your blood sugar.
Today there are also Chinese herbal therapies that might help. Canfo Natural Product’s offers Pancreton, a natural herbal remedy.

Research prioves that lower back pain is typically triggered by some combination of overuse, muscle strain, and injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support the spine. Many experts believe that over time muscle strain can lead to an overall imbalance in the spinal structure. This leads to a constant tension on the muscles, ligaments, bones, and discs, making the back more prone to injury or reinjury. A body detox program can help.
Known as the lumbosacral area the causes of pain there tends to add on to one another. After straining your muscles, you are likely to walk or move in different ways to avoid pain, therefore that can cause you to overcompensate and strain other muscles. Plus if you are overweight, particularly in the middle with belly fat, for every ten pounds of fat, it adds 100 pounds of stress to the spine.
One easy way to kick ten pounds and help relieve lower back pain, is a cleansing detox to help you lose weight fast. You can easily detoxify your body without the usual irritations. FlushMe by Canfo Natural Products is a total-body cleansing program, offering a formula that’s been used by generations of people to refresh, invigorate and energize their bodies towards better health.

We have all heard of diabetes, but fewer Americans know what pre-diabetes is, let alone how they can prevent it. A serious medical condition, the good news is that prediabetes can be treated. A recent Diabetes Prevention Program study concluded that people with pre-diabetes can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes by making changes in two areas of their life, 1) increasing their level of physical activity and 2) their diet. It is possible to return prediabetec blood glucose levels to the normal range with just 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity.
While the DPP also showed that some medications may delay the development of diabetes, diet and exercise worked better. You basicallywould need a five to ten precent reduction in body weight too. In the study this produced a 58 percent reduction in diabetes.
If you know that you are prediabetic, there are several things you can do. Below are tips on how you can make healthful food choices, and you also may be interested in trying Pancreton.
- Choose from the rainbow of colors of fruits and vegetables for variety and eat plenty.
- Eat vegetables like carrots, spinnach, broccoli and green beans with meals.
- Include beans and lentils in your diet.
- Never eat processed grain products. Eat whole grain bread and grains.
- Use liquid oils for cooking instead of solid fats.
- Use brown rice and whole grain or whole wheat spaghetti, rather than white.
- Try to eat fish frequentlyor at least two to three times a week.
- Eat lean meat less frequently.
- Cut back on high calorie snack foods and dessert.
- Choose skim milk, non-fat yogurt and non-fat cheese.
- Never drink soda, fruit punch, sweet tea and other sugar-sweetened drinks, but choose water.
- Watch your portions.

There are many people today who are trying to detox the body from alcohol. The important thing is that the body needs to be fortified and the immune system needs to be strengthened after heavy drinking. What is alcohol detoxification? The best treatment for alcoholism is to simply stop drinking, and once you’ve decided, your body needs to detoxify, so that it can reach homeostasis again. There are several natural foods and beverages that can help such as apples, beets and water, and Chinese herbal medicines that can help.
When your body is going through a detoxification from alcohol, re-hydrating the body to help repair damage done by overindulging is essential. This helps flush the toxins from the body, primarily the liver, and helps rebuild, repair and fortify it. The body needs water at the cellular level to function. Drinking water to prevent dehydration can help also help detox the body from alcohol.
In addition, there are a number of Chinese herbal medicines that can assist in the treatment program. First start by eliminating coffee, refined sugars, saturated fats and nicotine products, all of which react as toxins in your body, blocking the healing process. And remember that stress can also cause your body to release hormones for an adrenaline rush into your system. This can create toxins that slow down detoxification enzymes in your liver. So detox stressful life situations at the same time you are detoxifying your body.
FlushMe is Canfo Natural Product’s detox program that can help your body’s natural cleaning by promoting elimination through the intestines, kidneys and skin; improving circulation of the blood and stimulating the liver to drive toxins out. It also will help refuel your body with healthy nutrients that it needs after a detox.
Detoxing from alcohol is very taxing on the body’s functions, and on the immune system.
Another thing, the reason that beets are excellent for detoxing alcoholics is because alcohol has sugar in it, so many people are also addicted to the sugar as well. Beet roots have long been used for disorders of the liver. When doing self detoxification from alcohol, juicing one beet daily is recommended to help the liver cleanse and repair as quickly as possible. You can also add carrots to fortify your immune system and satisfy the sugar cravings.
Recovering from alcohol abuse is a long process because of having to rebuild the body, which takes time. But a good cleanse with herbal remedies can go a long way to assisting in the process.

Researchers have recently done studies on increasing the intake of olive oil and they say this may reduce the risk of suffering from ulcerative colitis. University of East Anglia’s School of Medicine in the United Kingdom researchers followed more than 25,000 people, aged 40-65, between 1993 and 1997. None of the participants had ulcerative colitis when the study began, but 22 participants had developed ulcerative colitis by the year 2002. The diets of these people were compared to those who didn’t develop the disease. They found those with the highest intake of oleic acid were 90 percent less likely to develop ulcerative what is known as colitis. (Source: Digestive Disease Week conference.)
Constipation typically results from improper eating habits, or a digestive disorder, and it effects over 4 million people yearly in the United States alone. It is considered normal to have at least one bowel movement daily, and some think that having only two or three weekly is normal. But when the food waste moves too slow in the colon because of weak muscle contractions or constipation, this waste tends to putrefy into poisons due to the bacterial action. These toxins can then be absorbed into the blood stream, and could eventually burden every vital organ and cell in your body. This condition is known in Europe as Alimentary Intestinal Toxemia or toxic colon. Some have died when their colon ruptures from long term constipation.
The Chinese have been using foods and herbal medicine for centuries. Known as Chinese Medicine, this is a complete medical system capable of treating disease in all its forms with a traditional view placing great importance on preventing disease before it occurs.

Canker sores are tiny shallow sores or ulcers that often pop up overnight in your mouth or inner lips, and they can be very uncomfortable. There are two types of canker sores – simple and complex canker sores. Simple canker sores usually occur in people between 10 and 20 years of age about four times a year, and they can last for about a week. Plus women get these sores more than men. Fortunately there are herbal remedies that help canker sores.
Whereas complex canker sores occur more often in people who have previously had them, and they are not as common. These cases are often caused by an underlying health condition like an impaired immune system. These can also be due to nutritional problems, and even gastrointestinal tract diseases or vitamin B-12, zinc, iron or folic acid deficiencies.
We do not really know the exact cause of most canker sores but stress is believed to be one reason, and also tissue injuries. Additionally certain citrus fruits and/or vegetables can trigger a canker sore to erupt. And we must not forget dentures or braces when they do not fit properly can also trigger an irritation of tissue and then a canker sore outburst.
For centuries, Chinese herbal medicine has been used to treat what are known as oral mucosal disorders—otherwise known as canker sores. A new herbal supplement and treatment offers fast-acting relief from canker sores is available, and it also promotes gum health and freshens the breath. OralEase decreases the likelihood of the reoccurrence of canker sores. Benefits are: fast-acting pain relief from canker sores; freshens the breath; and promotes overall gum health.
