New, Safe Diabetes Therapy
Resveratrol shows promise in two
new studies . . .
Studies show other nutrients help
improve blood sugar control
What is resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a naturally occurring acidic
compound that plants produce to combat
bacteria and other pathogens, and is found in
the skin of red grapes, other fruits, and in
Japanese knotweed.
Reducing diabetic complications
Those with type 2 diabetes often have
complications including blood vessel dam-
age, chronic high glucose levels, and imbal-
ances in circulating lipids. Doctors are look-
ing for new therapies without the side effects
of current treatments.
In one of the first human studies on resver-
atrol, 57 participants with type 2 diabetes
continued taking standard oral glucose con-
trol drugs with or without 250 mg of resvera-
trol per day. After six months, while there
were no changes for placebo, those taking
resveratrol saw a significant decrease in body
weight, systolic blood pressure, total choles-
terol, triglycerides, improved kidney function,
and beneficial increases in circulating antioxi-
dant enzymes. Also, resveratrol tended to
decrease long-term fasting glucose levels.

Improving glycemic control
In this resveratrol study, 66 people with
type 2 diabetes took a placebo or 1,000 mg
of resveratrol per day along with continuing
to take standard anti-diabetic treatment.
After 45 days, compared to the start of the
study, fasting blood sugar levels and LDL, the
"bad" cholesterol, increased slightly in the
placebo group, while those who took resver-
atrol saw significantly lower systolic blood
pressure, fasting and long-term average glu-
cose levels, and circulating insulin and insulin
resistance. Also, HDL, the "good" cholesterol,
significantly increased.
Discussing their findings, doctors said some
of the decrease in long-term average glucose
levels and increases in HDL with resveratrol
are very significant and comparable to the
benefits from front-line anti-diabetic drugs.
Also, 1,000 mg of resveratrol per day for 45
days had no adverse effects, and resveratrol
not only complemented standard medica-
tion, but increased protection in type 2 dia-
betes beyond standard therapy, doctors con-
cluded.

The easy conclusion is that the majority of
people on statin drugs are achieving no real
benefit from them. In fact, in my opinion
relying on these drugs and not focusing on
effectively reducing heart disease risk through
diet, lifestyle, and proper nutritional supple-
mentation is costing many people their lives.
While drug companies and many doctors
state that statins are so safe and effective they
should be added to drinking water, the reali-
ty is that they are very expensive medicines,
provide very limited benefit, and carry with
them considerable risks for side effects. For
example, a 2012 study by the Mayo Clinic
found that the use of statins in post-
menopausal women increased their risk for
type 2 diabetes by 74%. Some of the other
side effects noted with statins include the fol-
lowing:
Liver problems and decreased liver func-
•
tion
Interference with the manufacture of
•
coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a key substance
responsible for energy production within the
body
Rhabdomyolysis, the breaking down of
•
muscle tissue, which can be fatal
Nerve damage – the chances of nerve
•
damage are 26 times higher in statin users
than in the general population
Impaired mental function with prolonged
•
use
Possible increased risk of cancer and heart
•
failure with long-term use
Increased muscle damage caused by exer-
•
cise and reduced exercise capacity
Worsening energy levels and fatigue after
•
exertion in about 20% of cases
