Berberine: The Plant Compound Studied for Blood Sugar and Metabolic Health

Berberine: The Plant Compound Studied for Blood Sugar and Metabolic Health

Compound name: Berberine

Scientific plant sources:

Berberis vulgaris (Barberry)

Berberis aristata (Indian Barberry)

Hydrastis canadensis (Goldenseal)

Coptis chinensis (Chinese Goldthread)

Local relevance in Nigeria:

Berberine-containing plants are not indigenous to Nigeria, but berberine extracts and supplements are widely available locally. In Nigerian herbal practice, its metabolic role is often compared (functionally, not botanically) to Bitter Leaf (Vernonia amygdalina — Yoruba: Ewuro, Igbo: Onugbu, Hausa: Shiwaka).

What Is Berberine?

Berberine is a bright yellow bioactive alkaloid found in the roots, bark, and stems of several medicinal plants, especially barberry species. It has been used in traditional medicine systems for centuries, but modern interest focuses on how it works at the cellular and metabolic level.

Unlike many herbs that act broadly, berberine influences specific biochemical pathways, which is why it is now widely studied in metabolic and clinical research.

Why Berberine Is Called Nature’s Metformin

Berberine is often compared to metformin because both activate AMPK (Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase) — an enzyme sometimes called the body’s metabolic master switch.

When AMPK is activated, the body:

Uses glucose more efficiently

Improves insulin sensitivity

Reduces excess glucose production by the liver

Encourages fat metabolism instead of fat storage

This mechanism explains why berberine is central to discussions on:

Type 2 diabetes support

Metabolic syndrome

Weight management

Cardiovascular health

Key Health Benefits of Berberine

1. Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Levels

Berberine helps regulate blood glucose by:

Improving insulin response

Reducing glucose output from the liver

Increasing glucose uptake by cells

This makes it one of the most researched plant compounds for blood sugar support.

2. Improves Insulin Sensitivity

Insulin resistance is a root factor in many chronic conditions. Berberine supports cellular sensitivity to insulin, helping glucose move into cells where it can be used for energy.

3. Supports Weight and Fat Metabolism

Through AMPK activation, berberine supports:

Fat breakdown

Reduced fat accumulation

Improved energy balance

These effects are metabolic, not stimulant-based.

4. Supports Gut Health

Berberine has natural antimicrobial properties that may help:

Reduce harmful gut bacteria

Support a balanced microbiome

Improve digestion and gut-related inflammation

Healthy gut function is closely linked to metabolic health.

5. Supports Heart and Cholesterol Health

Studies suggest berberine may help:

Lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol

Reduce triglycerides

Support overall cardiovascular function

Berberine and Nigerian Bitter Herbs

In African traditional medicine, bitterness is often associated with metabolic and blood-cleansing herbs.

While berberine itself is not native to Nigeria, its metabolic actions are often compared to:

Bitter Leaf (Vernonia amygdalina)

Other strong bitter tonics used for glucose and digestion support

Important distinction:

Bitter Leaf is a whole-plant remedy with multiple compounds.

Berberine is a concentrated, isolated bioactive compound with defined molecular targets.

Both may support metabolic health, but through different pathways.

How Berberine Is Commonly Used

Berberine is usually taken as:

Capsules or tablets

Standardized herbal extracts

It is commonly taken with meals, and consistency is more important than high dosage.

Safety and Responsible Use

Berberine is potent and should be used responsibly:

Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding

May interact with medications (especially for blood sugar or blood pressure)

Long-term use should be guided by a knowledgeable practitioner

This is a therapeutic compound, not a casual supplement.

Final Thoughts

Berberine represents the intersection of traditional plant medicine and modern metabolic science. Its growing popularity is driven by research, not trends.

For individuals focused on blood sugar balance, metabolic health, and long-term wellness, berberine remains one of the most important plant-derived compounds under scientific study today.

Get Your Health Back With Cellgevity. Read all To See How.

                                               YOUR BODY NEED GLUTATHIONE

Before we are even born, our bodies create a molecule called Glutathione to defend against violent attackers like free radicals, chemical toxins and heavy metals.

As we age, our glutathione levels are depleted by every-day trauma encountered by cells including exertion, physical and emotional stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep.

All over the World scientist and medical researchers have been searching for a perfect solution for the enhancement of Glutathione in human body and have provided little results until the RiboCeine technology was discovered.

CELLGEVITY contains Max’s patented RiboCeine technology, a special blend of D- Ribose and L-Cysteine clinically proven to deliver cysteine effectively to the cell. Cysteine is needed by the body to produce glutathione and RiboCeine raises glutathione 300% more effectively than any other alternative

GLUTATHIONE BENEFITS : 

✔Slows down the aging process (makes you look younger)

✔Increases energy

✔Detoxifies the liver and cells

✔Strengthens the body’s immune system

✔Reduces muscle and joint discomfort (inflammation leads to pain)

✔Improves focus and mental clarity

✔Reduces the devastating effects of stress

✔Improves quality of sleep

✔Enhances athletic performance and recovery time

✔Improves your skin — when toxins leave the body your skin becomes more radiant!

 PEOPLE WITH HIGER GLUTATHIONE LEVELS

◾ Have More Energy

◾ Recover Faster From Exercise

◾ Sleep Better

◾ Have Greater Mental Clarity and Focus

◾ Less Inflammation

◾ Improved Joint Function

◾ Have Better Immune Systems

◾ Live Longer

◾ Live Better

◾ Improve the Health and Function of Every Cell, Tissue and Organ in the Body.

GLUTATHIONE

THE PROTECTOR AND DETOXIFIER OF THE CELL.

Glutathione (GSH) is produced by every cell in our body. It is the primary protector and detoxifier of the cell. To understand its importance, consider these four facts:

WITHOUT GLUTATHIONE…

1. Every cell in our body would die prematurely
2. The entire defense (immune) system of our body would surrender and cease to function.
3. Our liver, which cleanses all of the toxins we ingest or inhale, could no longer cleanse any poison or toxin, as glutathione is responsible for detoxification
4. Oxygen based life (human) would be impossible.

Glutathione has been described as the critical key to the life, health, performance and longevity of every human cell!

Unfortunately, our Glutathione levels are decreasing, that’s the bad news

The continuous attacks on our cells, the invasion of toxins and heavy metals and exposure to radiation and free radicals can lower our levels of glutathione. Cells are damaged and lose their optimal function.

The aging process and all of its issues) accelerates. Energy levels fall, inflammation levels increase, and all of the cells, tissues, and organs pay the price.

Glutathione levels are also depleted by any trauma encountered by the cells, including injuries, infections, and diseases. Even stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and exercise can reduce glutathione levels.

Higher Glutathione Levels Are Associated with a Myriad of Health, Performance, and Anti-Aging Benefits.

What’s the effect of Cellgevity on Cancer?

Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells within the body also called malignancy. There are over 200 types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and lymphoma.

These abnormal growths are named by the tissue they originate from – all cancers are the same they only occur in different organs [and symptoms vary depending on the type of cancer].

Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to the DNA within cells of an organism. Inside the DNA of a cell, there are large number of individual genes, and each contains a set of instructions telling the cell what functions to perform, as well as how to grow and divide. And whenever there is an error in these instructions it can lead to cancer occurs.

 How does cancer occur?

There are specific genes within the DNA of a cell with specific instructions and when these instructions are broken, cancer begin to develop. Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth, division (reproduction), and death, and this pattern is controlled by genes.

Ultimately, cancer is the result of cells that grows uncontrollably and do not die unlike regular cells. Programmed cell death is called apoptosis, and when this process breaks down, it leads to a mass of abnormal cells called cancer.

There are four type of genes responsible for cell division process:

Proto-oncogene tell the cells when to divide,

Tumor suppressor genes tell cells when not to divide,

Suicide genes control apoptosis (programmed cell death) and tell the cell to kill itself if something goes wrong or when the damage is irreparable,

And DNA-repair genes instruct a cell to repair damaged DNA.

Cancer occurs when there is a mutation (changes) in the gene that makes the cell unable to correct DNA damage and unable to commit suicide. And also when tumor suppressor gene can’t control division, leading to a mass of abnormal cell growth – Cancer.

Toxins are the major cause of these mutations otherwise known as Carcinogens when talking about cancer.

What are Carcinogens or Toxins?

Toxins are chemical substances produced within your body or gotten from the environment which cause damages to your DNA and promoting cancer. when your body is exposed to these carcinogens, free radicals are formed which affects the cell from functioning normally.

 Where do they come from?

Carcinogens come from industries, car exhausts, air and water pollution, herbicides, pesticides and radiations like sunlight, X-rays etc. They are found in your foods, hair care products, makeup soaps, perfumes and cleaning products. And also produced within the body during production of energy- free radicals.

Oxidative stress has been proven to be the major cause of cell gene mutation which is responsible for cancer and glutathione is the most powerful antioxidants and a super detoxifier produced naturally in the body to hinder the effects of oxidative stress.

Glutathione aids the removal of toxins from the body thereby setting the body in an alkaline environ…

MAX PRODUCT TESTIMONIES

KIDNEY DISEASE – One of our Associates’ sisters, a Barrister, shared her story of being diagnosed with renal failure last year. She had dropped from 75kg to 45kg, was bed ridden for 6 months, hospitalized for 2 months, on dialysis, unable to work or care for her children, and was on the list for a kidney transplant. Her doctor started her on Cellgevity, and today her kidneys show no sign of disease, she did not need any transplant, she is healthy, back to work and looking after her family.

INCONTINENCE – One of our Associates, a Medical Doctor, gave Cellgevity to a patient who was unable to control her bowels or urine. The patient now knows when she has to urinate or defecate and no longer loses control.

SICKLE CELL – One of our Associates, a Medical Doctor, has a 54 year old Sickle Cell patient who frequently felt bone pain and other crises related to Sickle Cell. She has been on Cellgevity for 6 weeks and has been crisis free. This would not have been the case before Cellgevity.  He is now going to introduce it to other Sickle Cell patients. 

SLEEP & ENERGY

One of our Associates is a Nurse, standing on her feet for 12-hour shifts. She gets very tired during her shift and also cannot sleep well at night. After starting Cellgevity she now sleeps like a baby and has great energy all day long for her 12-hour shift.

DIABETES & WOUND HEALING

Our Associate gave a woman with diabetes and a diabetic ulcer Cellgevity. For 4 years she had suffered from a diabetic ulcer on her leg, with a dressing that had to be changed at the hospital every 2 weeks or else the wound would begin to smell. After beginning Cellgevity she missed her appointment. The doctor was worried something had happened to her. When she finally came in for her appointment 3 weeks after beginning Cellgevity, the ulcer was virtually healed. 

STROKE

A 68-year-old man had suffered from stroke the past 8 months. After starting Cellgevity his wife called to say that he was now able to urinate on his own for the first time in 8 months and had also experienced his first erection in 8 months. 

FERTILITY

One of our Doctors was working with a couple that could not conceive for 4 years, the man had low sperm count and could not hold a strong erection. After being on Cellgevity, the sperm count increased, his erections improved, and the couple has just called the doctor to advise the wife is now pregnant. 

HEEL PAIN

One of our Associates gave Cellgevity to her friend who complains of heel pain and was no longer able to wear high-heeled shoes. After starting on Cellgevity she now wears high-heeled shoes happily with no pain.

MOTOR NEURON DISEASE

One of our Associates, a Health Worker, saw a woman who had been from hospital to hospital, prescribed many medications, and still nothing was able to help her. She was unable to walk or do any normal daily task without aid. After starting Cellgevity she can now walk without aid, and is able to coordinate movements of her limbs, plus complete many of the daily tasks she had previously not been able to do.

PAIN & VITALITY

One of our Associates mother had surgery 4 years ago and never recovered fully. She experienced ongoing pain and it was sometimes even difficult to carry her handbag. As a widow with 5 children she had to continue working regardless, her family relied on her. After being introduced to Cellgevity she says she has never felt such vitality and happiness in all her life, she now works and even requests overtime because her well-being is so wonderful. 

BACK PAIN – One of our Associates has had years of back pain. When her children were younger she used to have them walk on her back to help relieve the pain. For years she has gone to expensive European clinics in Nigeria to get relief, paying hundreds of thousands of Naira monthly, but has had limited success. Since beginning on Cellgevity she has had no back pain for the past 8 months, and her costs for her monthly Max products are a tiny fraction of what she was paying previously. She is now passionate about sharing Cellgevity with all those who have chronic pain.

ENERGY/SEXUAL PERFORMANCE – One of our new Associates started Cellgevity, and after just 2 days noticed increased energy and better sexual performance. We know that there are many men with hypertension or diabetes who have challenges with sexual performance. We often have testimonies that Cellgevity and ATP work wonders for anyone with these issues.

ANKLE PAIN / WAIST PAIN – One of our Associates, a 28 year old medical doctor, has had unexplained ankle pain since he was 18 years old. He loves to play soccer, and whenever he played the pain got very bad and he would be disabled for some time after. Tests showed nothing wrong. Since he has started on Cellgevity he can now enjoy playing soccer without pain and has had no ankle pain for the past one year. His Dad is 68 and enjoys riding his bicycle but had been unable to continue due to ongoing serious waist pain that stopped him from many activities. Again, tests showed nothing wrong. He started on Max products and has been pain free for the past 8 months, once again enjoying bicycling and all of his normal activities.

INJURY RECOVERY – One of our Associates played professional football Internationally. His football career was cut short due to injury. He returned to Ghana with a limp and looking for a career change. He tried Cellgevity and after the first day he went from limping to walking much better. He was convinced, joined Max as an Associate, and now shares Max products everywhere he goes.

HYPERTENSION / ENLARGED HEART – One of our Associates gave Max products to a Pastor who has been struggling with high blood pressure and an enlarged heart, in and out of hospital and in the house for the past year. After 3 weeks, he is feeling much better, is sleeping well and says he feels very strong.

DIABETES & BLOOD SUGAR – One of our Associates started to feel very unwell and was diagnosed with high blood sugar. He was placed on medication for 2 months by his doctor, which did not do any good. He was then placed on a different medication for 2 months also with limited results. Somebody introduced Cellgevity to him and after a month he was doing very well. His medication for diabetes has been reduced and combined now with Cellgevity his blood sugar is very well controlled.

EYESIGHT – One of our Associates, a medical doctor, has found after 2 weeks that his eyesight is improved. Before taking Cellgevity, he was unable to read without his eyeglasses. Now he finds he is able to read without reaching for his eyeglasses immediately and can see his eyesight is improving.

ATHLETIC RECOVERY – An Associate who is very active in sports has normally experienced aches and pains after exercise, and particularly the morning after he does strenuous sports activities. Since starting Cellgevity, the recovery is much faster and he no longer wakes up with aches and pains after his sporting activities.

GENERAL POOR HEALTH – one of our Associate’s mother suffered from overall poor health. She visited hospital regularly, took many medications, and yet was unable to find any answers or relief. She needed 20 minutes to climb one flight of stairs and was able to sleep for only 30 minutes in the night. After starting on Cellgevity, the first thing she noticed was that she slept soundly through the night. After some weeks, her family was surprised when she walked more than 1km to meet a relative at the junction. She is now back to all of her regular household activities and hospital visits are a thing of the past. She takes her Cellgevity every month and wouldn’t miss it.

PROSTATE & SURGERY RECOVERY – the father of one of our Associates had previously had surgery for prostate cancer. The surgery did not go well and he was in pain. He returned for a second and then a 3rd surgery but the pain was still very bad. He was unable to move from the bed and his family had to help him bathe and relieve himself. The doctors recommended a 4th surgery. Instead he was introduced to Cellgevity. After 4 days he was up and wanting to drive. He has now resumed all his activities, no pain, and no 4th surgery.

EPILEPSY / SEIZURES – one of our Associates introduced Cellgevity to someone with Epilepsy, who suffered from seizures frequently. After a month on Cellgevity the seizures are gone.

ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER – One of our Associates, a Pharmacist, gave Cellgevity to a parent who used one capsule a day with her 13 year old son who was experiencing Attention Deficit Disorder and lack of focus in class. After one month on Cellgevity, his parents and teachers have noticed a remarkable improvement in attention and focus.

DOWN’S SYNDROME – one of our Associate’s has a 2 year old daughter who the Doctor’s feel may have Down’s Syndrome, or perhaps something else. At 2 years, the daughter doesn’t speak, crawl or walk. The father started giving her MaxOne, our pure RiboCeine product. She started to speak and then crawl. She is now trying to teach herself to walk. The family is overwhelmed and grateful.

AUTISM / HORMONES – one of our Associates has a 20 year old niece who has autism. She was not able to speak clearly, hold a conversation, or hold any kind of job. She also had very irregular periods. After starting on Cellgevity she now has regular periods, speaks clearly and is able to have conversations, and is learning a trade in crafting to earn her own money.

AGING/SKIN – one of our Associates had to get her passport photo redone. The bank didn’t believe that her photo ID was correct because she looked so much more youthful than her photo after being on Max products. Many people find their skin and overall appearance improves with Max products.

CHILDBIRTH – one of our Associates gave Cellgevity to a woman recovering from Childbirth. She had had an epidural during the delivery process and had not recovered. Her baby was delivered successfully but she was unable to walk and had a great deal of pain for up to a year after the birth. After one week on Cellgevity she was able to walk and her pain was gone.

MENSTRUAL/HORMONAL ISSUES – One of our pharmacists gave Cellgevity to 2 different women both with the same issue. The first woman was 34 years old and not had her period for 4 years, the other was 40 yrs and with no period for 2 years. After starting on Cellgevity they both began to flow normally after just a few weeks. Another woman with a lot of pain during her menstrual cycle and with her menses being too short now has no pain and a normal cycle after Cellgevity. We have many testimonies of irregular or painful periods normalizing after Cellgevity.

PARALYSIS – One of our Associates father has had a mysterious illness for 40 years. Every 1 to 2 years he has partial paralysis and takes some time to recover. He was taking more than 40 pills per day, yet no relief. 18 months ago the doctors said there was no hope for him, his organs had begun to shut down and he would not survive this recent attack, or at best, be in a wheelchair if he survived.  He started on Cellgevity and has made a full recovery, with no incidents since, no wheelchair and is now down to 10 pills per day vs 40.

MENTAL HEALTH   A woman had been experiencing mental health issues for 4 years. She was non communicative, sometimes violent, not attending to her personal care, stayed in the house, and did not comprehend when others spoke to her. She had seen herbalists and psychiatrists but nothing had helped. Her Doctor placed her on Cellgevity and ATP. One month later during her follow up appointment she was now clean and presentable, happy, communicating well, and reporting that she has now found a job.

We have testimonies on almost every health challenge you can imagine – hypertension, stroke, arthritis, migraines, asthma, and so many more……note that we should not be recommending for children, pregnant women or nursing mothers, however a parent can take their own decision for their child or a doctor may make a recommendation based on their medical knowledge of their patient. It is important also to note that *Cellgevity is NOT a DRUG or a MEDICINE and does not treat, cure or prevent disease. Cellgevity is a FOOD SUPPLEMENT that increases glutathione, and when that happens, miracles can happen.*

TESTIMONY ON DIABETES AND BLOOD PRESSURE

Shared by Dr. Tobi Eluyera

I would like to also share a testimony of a 57 year old female patient. She presented to my clinic about 2 months ago. She’s a known hypertensive and diabetic patient diagnosed over 10 years ago. She was being managed in UBTH until a relative suggested to her to also be coming for routine medical check up since she bitterly complained of being given a very long clinical appointment time, coupled with her doctors not paying enough attention to her complaints…

The positive findings were: E / u / cr : urea level = 80 mg / dl; creatinine = 4.4 mg / dl; the sodium, potassium and chloride levels were essentially normal…Urine proteinuria was ++, chloesterol was 260 mg / dl, and LDL was 209 mg / dl

Bp at presentation was 170 / 100 mmHg..

I placed this patient on Cellgevity, reviewed and placed her on hypertensive, oral hypoglycemic agents ( for her presenting FBS was 220 mg / dl ), statins and continued with the erythropoietin and iron therapy as prescribed in UBTH…

3 weeks later, after the 3 bottle of Cellgevity on a dose of 2 b.d,

The results were startling! Her blood urea from 80mg / dl to 24 mg / dl, creatinine from 4.4mg / dl to 0.7 mg / dl !!! Her usually persistently low  PCV is now within stable limit of 33 %, the disrupted lipid profile now stabilized…

Cellgevity works!???

 Dr Amara Albert: TESTIMONY – HYPERTENSION & OVERALL HEALTH

From a Max Associate

I want to share my mum”s testimony on the use of Cellgevity.  Five months ago I was called by my Aunty from Delta that we should come and carry my mum, that she is very sick and cannot walk, we rushed down and brought her to Port Harcourt.  She is a B/P patient, she was unable to walk, she could not turn her neck well, and so many things were wrong with her health.   I stumbled onto cellgevity on my page and asked a question. The person said to me can he come I said yes because nothing I did was working, only the B/P was being controlled, all other things remain the same. The following day he walked into my office with Pst Evelyn. After telling me her story I immediately ordered for Cellgevity.  Today my mum is walking, no more complaints, every part of her body is better, and she is going home next week very strong. Thanks to Pst Evelyn for encouraging me to try Cellgevity.

TESTIMONY – PAIN & INFLAMMATION

From a Max Associate in Canada

My wife Christine was having lower back pain so she went to a pain clinic in order to get some help.

The Doctor said he could help reduce her pain by up to 40%. After her third treatment our lives were changed.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t for the better.

What happened?

Chris started feeling more pain than she had ever felt in her life.What she was experiencing can’t be adequately described with words. You have to go through it to understand.

What I saw happening to my wife was terrifying.

It started with what I can only describe as severe sciatic pinched nerve pain. This was followed with the loss of control of her left leg and foot. Inflammation so bad you couldn’t see her ankle anymore.  Her shoe wouldn’t fit. She couldn’t walk without assistance. Even the skin was super painful to the touch. She could barely function anymore because the pain was so overwhelming. She couldn’t sleep, she couldn’t do anything but try to deal with what was happening to her.

We went to a number of specialists and got x-rays MRI’s and tests. For nearly two years now nobody has a clue as to what’s wrong.

My wife was prescribed a toxic cocktail of pharmaceuticals. 8 oxy per day, muscle relaxants, antidepressant and more…  Sure it numbed the pain somewhat, but the side effects of the prescribed poisons kept her one level above comatose.

That’s no way to live.

I won’t get into how it affected me. I’ll just summarise by saying I was lost and stressed out. I didn’t know what to do anymore. The health care system wasn’t going to help. They’ve proved that to me.

Then the day came when I met Viola Brubacher and once again our lives were changed. This time it was for the better.

Viola is a wonderful Mennonite woman, 72 years young and full of life, energy and positivity.

I shared what was happening with Chris. Viola shared her former problems such as arthritis, fibromyalgia and brain cancer. She declared that her health and vitality was all due to the supplements she was taking.

Viola told me about Max International a health and wellness company.

I went to her home for an information seminar.

The testimonials I heard that evening were difficult to believe. It seemed too good to be true. Just take these supplements and it will help the body to heal itself?    Too easy I thought.

The skeptic in me was scouring the internet for dirt on Max International. “It must be another snake oil scam” I thought.  I couldn’t find anything bad.   Still suspicious but……….

We had nothing to lose. Max is Health Canada approved…….So we tried it.

That was 14 weeks ago…

Since Chris started taking the Max supplements we have been seeing improvements in her health every day!

The first thing that happened was that the inflammation went away.  Then the pain went away. She is now off all the pharmaceutical pills. She is regaining control of her leg and foot. Chris is using a treadmill to rebuild the muscle she lost in her leg. We are slowly getting our lives back.

I’m so impressed with Max that I’ve decided to become a representative.

I want to share this with everyone.

The Dirty Little Secret About Infertility We Can All Overcome

Female infertility refers to infertility in female humans. It affects an estimated 48 million women with the highest prevalence of infertility affecting people in South Asia,  North Africa/Middle East,Central/Eastern and Europe, Central Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa especially Nigeria.

A woman is considered to have an infertility or sterility problem when she is unable to conceive a child after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Infertility also includes an inability to maintain a pregnancy or carry a child to live birth, as described by the World Health Organization.

Female infertility accounts for approximately one-third of all infertility cases, according to the American Pregnancy Association. In fact, it affects an estimated 48 million women worldwide.

Infertility is caused by many sources, including nutrition, diseases, and other malformations of the uterus. Infertility affects women from around the world, and the cultural and social stigma surrounding it varies.

In women, fertility can be affected by various health problems, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, anemia, thyroid problems, blocked fallopian tubes, Candida and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Other factors, such as heavy drinking, smoking, age (older than 35), obesity, excessive stress, a history of irregular or painful periods, a poor diet and intense physical training, can also increase a woman’s risk of infertility.Experiencing infertility is emotionally painful for any woman and can lead to anxiety, isolation, extended periods of depression, and an inability to concentrate on daily tasks.

With techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or surrogacy, many women struggling with infertility are eventually able to have a child. However, these techniques are very expensive and some women simply cannot afford them.

There are natural and herbal treatments that also can help fight the root cause of infertility and increase your chances of getting pregnant. Lifestyle factors, such as regular exercise and following a healthy diet, can also help.

You can Naturally Reverse Infertility and get pregnant Naturally with the New Natural Infertility Reversal Therapy.The most effective, safe and proven method known ever to Naturally Reverse Infertility and get pregnant Naturally without going the other way round again is the use of the New Natural Infertility Reversal Therapy from United States.

All Information About Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1), a Lack of Insulin, Glucose is Too High

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder families who have a high level of glucose in the blood and accelerate cardiovascular disease, a progressive disease of the peripheral nerves, kidney damage and progressive

Diabetes mellitus is described by doctors as having type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes have a deficiency of insulin and glucose concentrations in the blood. Your doctor may order a blood test to check for the presence of insulin to insulin.

Type 1 diabetes develops most often in children and young adults following an attack on the immune system of insulin producing cells of the pancreas. These cells, called islet cells, because there was a small congregation of cells appear as "islands" when viewed under a microscope. Immune attacks that damage or even destroy the cells that produce insulin, and a lack of insulin in the blood glucose levels rise then allows the upper limit of normal.

This is one of the pancreas that detect glucose concentration in the blood center, then the release of insulin in response to glucose levels are displayed. It is the purpose of the job and the islet cells of the pancreas. Then, insulin is secreted travel along one specific blood flow to transfer glucose circulating in the tissues and cells in which the cells utilize glucose for energy. But if the islet cells do not feel the concentration of glucose in the blood accurately or if the island pancreas can not produce insulin because the cells are destroyed and the secretion of detection, the concentration of glucose in the blood stream and increased further. The level can be very high in some greater than 1000 mg / dL.

Circulating glucose because it is not used by the network and the cells of the body and, in a sense, the organs are "hungry" in "the midst of plenty." We call this abnormally high blood glucose levels "hyperglycemia" - "High level of glucose in the blood" Means.

glucose circulating in the blood of abnormally high levels available in the urine itself. It is excreted. Glucose "spill" into the urine from the body and therefore lost. In a sense, this is the boss. In another sense, the vital energy is only lost in the urine.

As a result of the loss of glucose in urine with high water excretion as well. glucose and urine travel through action to take water with it. Glucose is poured at high levels in the kidneys act as "diuretic." Therefore, people with high blood sugar will realize high urine flow and urine volume abound in the current configuration quickly dehydrate a person.

Someone with high blood sugar also noted unusual thirst. One reason for this is that the action thirsty dry a load of glucose in the urine Attraction natural diuretics. The second reason is hyperglycemia brain signals which the brain perceives an unusual concentration of substances in the blood stream and signals for thirst, to encourage greater consumption of water to dilute these substances in the blood.

Type 1 diabetes is an unstable, fragile, and can quickly become dangerous if left untreated. It is diagnosed accurately measure abnormally low insulin levels in the blood with high glucose and the presence of anti-island cell antibodies. Pancreatic islet cells are the cells that normally produce insulin, but is now being attacked by the immune antibodies from the person.

Treatment of type 1 diabetes treatment center adjustment and proper food along with insulin replacement. replacement of insulin is very important. The amount of insulin needed varies from person to person, but a lack of insulin is a major problem and is therefore very important substitute for insulin. Anyone diagnosed with type 1 diabetes must inject insulin on a daily basis in sufficient quantities. This amount is determined based on the person. Each missed injections resulted in a rapid increase in blood sugar, weakness, thirst and high urine flow.

If you have type 1 diabetes, informed, aware, diligent watch out for them, to be precise. sugar levels to normal control of blood is an important day to day, month to month, and year after year.

If the concentration of glucose measured after fasting, diabetes score greater than 140 mg / dl sweet determines that there is no uncertainty.

Ayurvedic Herbs: treat high blood pressure (hypertension), High cholesterol and low sperm count

Although there are different definitions of Ayurveda, which is best defined as one of the old system, but more effective in the world of medicine and healthy living. Unlike modern medicine, Ayurveda focuses on promoting health rather than treating disease. Therefore, focusing on "prevention" more than "cure".
However, when the disease occurs, they are used for slimming and treatments based on highly efficient plants. Science is based on the principle that health depends on a balance between mind, body and soul.

Today we will discuss three Ayurvedic herbs that work like magic in the treatment of many common diseases and conditions.

1. Arjuna / Arjun Terminalia Arjuna scientific, Vagbhata, probably the most influential of Ayurveda classics, this tree was introduced to treat heart disease. It has been used for centuries (Vagbhata believed to have lived in the 6th and 7th centuries You do the math!) For heart failure, atherosclerosis (arteries narrow as cholesterol and fat accumulates on the walls.) And the arrhythmia (regular heartbeat), earned the nickname "the heart of the guard." it also contributes to angina, which is chest pain caused by decreased blood flow to the heart. by patients with cholesterol and high blood pressure are usually consumed.

2. Shatavari / Satavar / Shatamull: Also known under different names in the local language, it is in fact a sort of asparagus. (Therefore, it is also called 'Wild Asparagus.') Scientific Shatavari, recommended by Ayurvedic texts to treat stomach ulcer / gastric and dyspepsia. (Dyspepsia is the medical term for indigestion.) It is also described as "galactogogue", namely food / herb that increases milk production in nursing mothers. The herb provides relief of irritability associated with PMS and is often used as a tonic reproduction for women. however, it also has the advantage of reproduction and increase the number of male sperm.

3. Gokshura / Gokhru: Tribulus terrestris, commonly known Gokshura or Gokhru, has been used for countless benefits for approx. 5000 years! The main contributors to Ayurveda, Charaka, this plant is considered "a diuretic", ie, a substance that increases urine production and, therefore, the treatment of conditions such as hypertension. (Due to excess salt and salt will be expelled from the body.) For this property, it is also an effective treatment for kidney and bladder problems such as kidney stones and painful urination. This does not mean all - Gokhru increase sexual arousal in men and women of all ages. ED decreases and increases the sperm count. Therefore it is also called "natural Viagra".

Bonding With My Daughter While Caring for Her Hair

It's Saturday evening and that means my daughter, Arsema, and I are getting ready for our weekly hair sessions. After a warm bath full of giggles and a lot of splashes (because Daddy gives the baths) we head down to the living room armed with creams, combs, clips, and hair ties. I grab the remote and let her choose a movie. This week it's Mary Poppins - something I'll enjoy too.
As I start the movie I open the laptop to show Arsema the pinterest board I made full of hair style ideas and she scrolls through the pictures while I detangle her hair. Once she chooses her style we rub a curl cream into her hair together before I start making parts and putting in clips. She watches the movie and munches on a snack with her ankles crossed, sitting quietly.

As the white mother of a beautiful black daughter, hair care has been a steep learning curve for me. I want my daughter to love her hair and be proud of the springy black curls that cover her head. I want to be able to care for and style her hair in a way shows I understand that her hair is different and I celebrate her unique beauty.
So I reach out to my friends of color to ask questions. I research and watch YouTube videos and learn. While I already knew how to do braids and pigtails I expand my technique to include cornrows, twists (flat and rope), and terms like "co-wash" and "protective style" and "sleep caps" and "twist out."

When she was just 8 months old I started looking for ways to style her hair, make it fun, and help her learn to sit for an extended length of time. We started with two little puffs and eventually worked our way up to braids. At first I would get one row in before she'd crawl away to something more interesting. I'd wait a few minutes and bring her back for another row. Her style took took ten times longer that way but we giggled, played, and snuggled our way through it. By not getting frustrated or forcing her to sit longer than she was able we kept it a positive experience.
Learning about my daughter's hair has been meaningful and fun, but the true gift has been our weekly hair sessions. Every week for an hour or two we bond and continue to create a special mother-daughter relationship. She loves being involved in the process by choosing her own style off the pinterest board. We chat and sing songs and talk about the movie while I work. We take breaks every so often to wiggle and giggle and hug. She has my undivided attention while I put in the time to invest in her.

The style is finished and she runs to the mirror to inspect my work. A huge smile spreads across her face as she turns her head to the left and right to see every angle. She reaches up to softly feel the braids and turns around to grin at me. "You are so beautiful!" I tell her and she nods, agreeing. Day by day, week by week I try teach her positive body image.

I'm not an expert by any means - my parts aren't always straight and my braids aren't perfect. Someday she may ask to go to a professional and that's okay. For now, I'm soaking up each weekly session. These moments are precious to me because they are regular opportunities to bond with my daughter, show her that she's worth my investment, and reinforce in her heart that she is important, beautiful, and unique.

Ноw tо Treat High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure іs thе force оf blood аgаіnst thе walls оf arteries. Blood pressure іs analyzed іn twо terms аs systolic pressure аnd diastolic pressure. А blood pressure measurement оf 120/80 mmHg (millimeters оf mercury) іs expressed verbally аs "120 оvеr 80." Normal blood pressure іs 120/80 mm Hg. Blood pressure mоrе thаn thіs 120/80 mm іs termed аs high blood pressure. High blood pressure іs common. Νеаrlу 65 mіllіоn Americans аrе gеttіng treated fоr thіs condition. African Americans аrе mоrе prone tо high BP. Ѕоmеtіmеs overweight, thоsе wіth family history оf high blood pressure, аnd thоsе wіth pre-hypertension predisposes tо High blood pressure.

The great arteries оf thе body behave sоmеwhаt lіkе thе balloon. Тhеу аrе stretched whеn thе heart contracts, аnd bу 'springing back' аftеr thе heartbeat, thеу саusе thе blood tо remain undеr pressure. Тhе blood іs thе оnlу medium, whісh carries oxygen аnd аll оthеr nutrients tо аll parts оf thе body. Неnсе thе steady flow оf blood іs imperative fоr аll functions оf thе cell аnd іts survival.

Regardless оf race, age, оr gender, аnуоnе саn develop high blood pressure. Іt іs estimated thаt оnе іn еvеrу fоur American adults hаs high blood pressure. Оnсе high blood pressure develops, іt usuаllу lasts а lifetime. Yоu саn prevent аnd control high blood pressure bу tаkіng action. Тhе саusеs оf high blood pressure vary. Саusеs mау include narrowing оf thе arteries, а greater thаn normal volume оf blood, оr thе heart beating faster оr mоrе forcefully thаn іt shоuld. Аnу оf thеsе conditions will саusе increased pressure аgаіnst thе artery walls.

Excess weight іs а large factor іn high blood pressure. Тhоugh mаnу people whо аrе nоt obese suffer frоm thе condition, it's three times mоrе lіkеlу thаt thоsе whо аrе overweight will develop thе condition. Obesity starts аt 20% аbоvе thе ideal weight fоr уоur height аnd bone structure. Ноwеvеr, sоmеtіmеs а small weight loss оf fіvе tо ten pounds will reduce blood pressure tо wіthіn thе normal range. Іf уоu hаvе high blood pressure аnd аrе overweight, trу tо gеt аs close tо уоur recommended body weight аs possible.

The key tо lowering blood pressure bу walking іs tо walk briskly, swinging уоur arms. Start bу walking а quarter mile аnd build uр thе length оf thе walks tо а mile. Yоu will bе surprised аt hоw muсh уоur blood pressure lowers аftеr а regular routine оf walking daily fоr twо weeks tо а month. Тhе reason thаt exercise reduces high blood pressure іs thаt іt opens blood vessels аnd thаt mаkеs thе blood pressure соmе dоwn. Еvеn thоugh blood pressure gоеs uр durіng exercise, іt drops whеn thе exercise ends. Тhеn whеn іt gоеs bасk uр, іt dоеsn't reach suсh а high level.

Another іmроrtаnt measure fоr уоu health іs tо nоt smoke: Whіlе cigarette smoking іs nоt directly rеlаtеd tо high blood pressure, іt increases уоu risk оf heart attack аnd stroke. Аs уоur body weight increases, уоur blood pressure rises. Іn fact, bеіng overweight саn mаkе уоu twо tо sіх times mоrе lіkеlу tо develop high blood pressure thаn іf уоu аrе аt уоur desirable weight. Keeping уоur weight іn thе desirable range іs nоt оnlу іmроrtаnt tо prevent high blood pressure but аlsо fоr уоur оvеrаll health аnd well-being.

Kidney Disease аnd Diabetes - Ноw Аrе Тhеу Related?

Generally, nоt аnуоnе whо hаs diabetes contracts kidney disease. Тhіs іs јust аnоthеr common misconception relating tо thе illness. Whіlе іt іs true thаt uncontrolled hyperglycemia саn саusе kidney disease, diabetics whо maintain thеіr appropriate blood glucose levels саn avoid developing kidney failure.

Primarily, diabetes саn progress tо kidney disease whеn thе renal organs аrе unable tо dispose оf thе byproducts оf sugars аnd starches. Тhеsе foods stay іn thе system аnd dо nоt break uр аnd gеt eliminated, аs thеу definitely dо іn оthеrs wіthоut thе disease. Тhеsе wastes dwell іn thе body аnd abnormally саusе thе blood sugar levels tо rise tо unsafe, high levels. Іt mаkеs disposal оf proteins difficult аs well.

Efficiency оf thе kidney function іs highly altered whеn thеrе іs uncontrolled diabetes. Duе tо thаt, thе kidneys must work harder bеуоnd іts usual process tо eliminate body wastes, аnd clean оut sugars аnd starches аt thе sаmе time. Аs thе kidneys strain excessive amounts оf blood, protein аnd оthеr waste products bеgіn tо leak іntо thе whоlе body system. Eventually, waste products start tо build uр іn thе blood.

A progression оf kidney disease іs common аmоng diabetics. Тhе kidneys bесоmе overworked аnd thеу shut dоwn inevitably. Whеn thіs hарреns, thе person іs automatically рut оn dialysis whеrе а machine functions аs аn artificial kidney. Аt mоst times, аn individual wіth kidney disease соuld opt fоr а transplant, hоwеvеr, thіs іs hаrdlу аn option tо patients thаt hаvе diabetes.

Without thеіr kidneys, people definitely саnnоt sustain thеіr lives. Fоr thаt reason, іt іs сеrtаіnlу vital thаt аn individual wіth diabetes recognizes hоw thеіr kidneys function аnd whаt ways саn thеу dо tо assist thеsе organs tо work proficiently. А diabetic dоеsn't hаvе tо contract kidney disease, аs well аs thе majority оf complications fоllоwіng thе disease. А simple implementation оf thе doctor's prescription аnd advocating а healthy lifestyle іs mоrе thаn enough.

The оnlу drawback іs thаt mаnу diabetics аrе non-compliant individuals, thоsе whо refuse tо dо whаt thеіr doctors instruct thеm. Тhеу dо nоt follow thе diet plans strоnglу suggested іn thе Glycemic Іndех, а record developed tо educate thоsе wіth diabetes оf whаt meals tо hаvе аnd avoid. Meals thаt аrе high іn thе glycemic іndех tаkе thе longest tо digest аnd dо thе mоst harm tо thе kidneys.

Furthermore, tracking thеіr blood sugar levels іs аnоthеr problem. А diabetic іs nоrmаllу prescribed а blood monitor thаt hе hаs tо usе sеvеrаl times а day tо check thеіr glucose levels. Тhеsе levels аrе nоtеd аnd presented tо thеіr physician оn thеіr nехt visit. Ноwеvеr, mаnу diabetics don nоt conform tо thіs essential раrt оf thеіr care.

In addition, medications suсh аs insulin shots аnd oral hypoglycemic drugs аrе commonly prescribed but аrе occasionally overlooked аnd avoided. Тhеsе drugs aid thе kidneys іn eliminating waste bу metabolizing foods. Тhеrе аrе sеvеrаl programs рrеsеnt fоr thоsе whо саnnоt afford thеsе drugs, sо thеrе іs nо basis tо nоt tаkе thеsе medications.

Lastly, exercise аnd weight control аrе vеrу іmроrtаnt tо keeping а healthy body. Νоt оnlу fоr diabetics, but аlsо fоr thе general population. Diseases аrе easily fought bасk whеn thе body іs functioning well. Yеt, mоst people simply refuse tо adhere tо thеsе essential measure.

In conclusion, kidney disease аnd diabetes аrе twо dіffеrеnt illnesses. Diabetes іs nоt invariably а marker tо kidney disease. Оnе dоеs nоt аlwауs lead tо thе оthеr.

One оf thе major factors fоr triggering diabetes іs thе weight оf thе person. А person whо іs overweight іs mоrе thаn twісе аt risk fоr diabetes thаn а person whоsе weight іs normal. Furthеr іt hаs bееn fоund thаt diabetics whо tооk thе medication, аnd аlsо managed thеіr weights wеrе fоund tо maintain thеіr diabetes аt safe levels. Моrе оftеn thаn nоt, thоsе whо managed thіs wеrе fоund tо require lеss оf thе drugs thаt inhibit diabetes.

Why іs weight sо іmроrtаnt fоr controlling Diabetes? Тhе answer lies іn thе hоw аnd whу diabetes takes place.

First, thоsе people whо аrе overweight оr аbоvе thе limits thеу аrе аrе supposed tо hаvе, аrе prone tо tаkе mоrе оf carbohydrates thаn іs required bу thе body. Carbs, аs іt іs called іn short, рrоvіdеs energy tо thе body tо function properly. Whеn thе intake іs mоrе thаn whаt іs required, thе rest іs left bеhіnd іn thе body, wіthоut digestion, leading tо weight gain. Тhіs weight gain іn turn exerts іts оwn pressure оn thе vаrіоus organs оf thе body. Fоr instance, іt inhibits оr damages thе blood vessels, аnd thіs іn turn, exerts pressure оn thе heart tо pump аt а higher rate sо thаt thе blood supply tо thе organs іs maintained аt thе level іt requires. Furthеr, аnу exertion оn thе раrt оf thе overweight person аlsо puts additional pressure оn thе heart.

Since thе carbs аrе stіll undigested, thе blood sugar, whісh іs nоrmаllу broken dоwn bу thе body's insulin іs sо high, thаt thе insulin thаt thе body produces іs nоt еnоugh tо break dоwn thе excess sugar аnd thеrеfоrе thе blood sugar remains whеrе іt іs, harming thе blood vessels.

The answer tо thіs conundrum lies іn controlling weight. Ноw саn уоu control уоur weight? Тhеrе аrе twо ways thаt саn bе used.

One, gіvе uр eating fatty foods, оr foods high іn carbohydrates, оr fried food, аnd оf course junk food lіkе burgers. Eat wholesome food lіkе vegetables аlоng wіth rice, оr whоlе wheats, оr oats, avoid red meat аs muсh аs уоu саn, substituting іt bу lean meats, suсh poultry food, аnd add fruits. Іf уоu аrе addicted tо fried food, trу tо usе vеrу lіttlе oil, аnd nоt tоо muсh оf іt. Greasy food adds tо fat. Usе oils thаt соntаіn lеss оf fats (thеу аrе indicated оn thе label). Іt іs nоt аs іf thеrе аrе nо recipes аrоund whісh help уоu. Тhе American Diabetes Association hаs оn іts website а whоlе host оf recipes thаt саn bе usеd. Аnd nо, уоu dоn't hаvе tо GІVЕ uр уоur favorite. Аll thаt іs required іs thаt уоu CONTROL thе intake оf уоur favorite.

Second, start exercising. Start slow, аnd gradually build uр уоur pace, untіl уоu hаvе reached а level уоu аrе comfortable wіth. Exercise burns thе excess carbs, аnd thе sugars рrеsеnt іn thе body, іn addition tо activating thе organs tо function mоrе, аnd thе heart pumps mоrе blood thrоugh thе body, thus revitalising thе body. Dіd уоu knоw thаt whеn уоu exercise, уоu set іn motion сеrtаіn cells, thаt іn turn duе tо thе physical activity, coalesce іntо vital vitamins thаt уоu body needs!

Since уоur exercising burns uр thе excess carbs аnd thе sugar іn thе body, уоu оbvіоuslу hаvе а lower blood glucose, whісh іs whаt іs required fоr а diabetic.

If hоwеvеr, уоu ignore thе advice аnd medication gіvеn tо уоu, lеt us sее whаt саn happen.
Fіrst аnd foremost, уоur weight will increase substаntіаllу. Тhіs will рut а lot оf pressure оn уоur kidneys whісh will, аftеr а time, bе unable tо cope wіth thе amount оf intake іt hаs tо filter, аnd FAIL. Тhіs іs а long term process, аnd уоu wоn't knоw till it's quіtе late. Yоu will hаvе tо undergo dialysis, whісh іs expensive, аnd іt іs оnlу postponing thе inevitable: kidney failure.

Second, аnd thіs іs lіkеlу tо happen faster іs thаt уоu аrе lіkеlу tо land uр wіth а heart problem; whу, let's face іt - уоu mау suffer а heart attack. Тhіs іs bесаusе nоt оnlу thе carbs, whісh hаvе cholesterol іn thеm deposit thеm оn thе sides оf thе arteries, veins, аnd blood vessels, reducing thеіr diameter, force thе hear tо pump harder tо push thе blood thrоugh thіs reduced holes, thus burdening thе heart а lіttlе mоrе аt fіrst. Аs уоu continue tо add mоrе аnd mоrе cholesterol, thе deposits correspondingly increase, аnd thе heart іs nоw pumping аt nеаrlу double whаt іt shоuld dо - thеrе аrе methods tо determine thаt - аnd finally іt gіvеs uр fоr thе moment. Yоu hаvе hаd уоur heart attack.

Both kidney failures аnd heart attacks аrе life threatening, аnd іf уоu survive, уоu аrе going tо hаvе tо spend а lot оf money оn thеsе conditions, іn ADDITION tо controlling diabetes. Аs уеt, thеrе іs nо alternative tо kidney failure. Аnd wіthоut Kidneys functioning....
