Diabetes
is claiming the lives of more and more baby boomers. The death rate from diabetes and its related
complications is mounting and has exploded by nearly 50 percent since 1985.
Between 1993 and 1995, 67,000 diabetes-related amputations were performed,
with 28,000 cases of end-stage kidney disease in 1995 and 24,000 cases of blindness every year.
Bottom line: some 193,000 diabetes-related deaths occur annually.
New drugs are on the way. Researchers are studying how to restore the body’s
sensitivity to insulin, the effects of diet and obesity on diabetes, and drugs that can help to
prevent deadly diabetes-related complications.
Meanwhile, “the U.S. market for diabetes treatments has nearly doubled since
1994, hitting $3 billion in 1998,” reports Business Week.
Natural Formula
without Complications
Where is no question that patients
must work with their doctors. Very often diabetes drugs, for all of their downside, are absolutely
necessary to health.
But as a doctor who works with diabetic patients, I have seen firsthand
that there is now true hope from nature’s pharmacy. Men and women often can reduce their dependency
on diabetes drugs and diminish their complications when they work with their doctor to incorporate
the Circ Elation™ formula into their daily health regimen.
Circ Elation, a modern herbal formula from Whitewing Labs, offers
a safe natural pathway to help support healthy insulin and blood sugar control. The ingredients
found in Circ Elation have been individually studied and documented to help improve circulation.

and its potential for helping persons
suffering from blood sugar problems. I also think it is part of the answer to reducing
diabetes drug-related complications.
Review of Key Ingredients
In a study from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical
Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, it was noted that vanadyl sulfate—one
of the key ingredients in Circ Elation—helps restore elevated blood glucose to normal.
“Subsequent studies have shown that vanadyl sulfate can lower elevated blood glucose, cholesterol
and triglycerides in a variety of diabetic models,” say the researchers.
Dr. Michael Murray notes that bilberry—also in the Circ Elation
formula—has a long history of use to support the health of diabetics. “It is of interest to note
that a single dose can produce beneficial effects lasting for several weeks,” says Dr. Murray.
Ginkgo biloba is particularly important for diabetics who want
to reduce their risk of diabetic retinopathy, a condition of the retina that can eventually lead
to blindness. We also have seen in experimental studies that ginkgo biloba helps to prevent free
radical damage to the retina of the eyes.

As early as 1651,
researchers recognized the medicinal value of horse chestnut seed. Herbal doctors of the
19th century used horse chestnut seed for people with engorged blood vessels and leg pain. Today,
scientists have clinically observed horse chestnut seed’s ability to act on the connective tissue
barrier between blood vessels and tissue where veins become permeable.
The two active constituents found in horse chestnut seed, aesuline
and aescin, are saponins, which help the vessels’ strength, repair leaking
capillaries, and promote excess body fluids to return into the bloodstream for elimination or
recirculation.
This formula also provides alpha-lipoic acid. In a 1999 study, published
in Microvascular Research, patients receiving this vital antioxidant experienced significant
improvement in microcirculation.
The Doctor’s Recommendation
The goal when working with diabetics
is to support normal blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity while minimizing diabetes-related
complications. Fortunately, Circ Elation is available to my patients and readers of this
journal. Circ Elation is not a drug but its ability to help normalize blood sugar levels
and insulin sensitivity makes it important for anyone with such concerns.
