 Research has shown that by keeping glucose stores high, this herb sends a message to the brain that the body is full and not hungry. This keeps the person with type 2 diabetes from gaining weight, which would make the diabetes even worse.
I have seen changes in my own patients as they have participated in our comprehensive, multidisciplinary diabetes and weight-management programs. They have learned through our Transitions Course the tools needed to make major lifestyle changes and keep these changes in effect.
The elements of the Transitions Course will be discussed throughout this book. |

 In some regions the favored remedy for diarrhea and dysentery was "Indian chocolate," made by decocting the root of an herb called water avens and adding honey and milk to the decoction.
As civilization moved westward, the pioneer woman prescribed for her household and often doctored other families. Old diaries and letters testify to the skill and courage of these women who, equipped with a home doctoring book and home remedies, rode great distances on horseback to treat sick neighbors and deliver babies. |

 Silicon is found in mother's milk, in the fiber fraction of brown rice, in leafy greens and bell peppers, and in the herb called horsetail. These are primarily vegetarian sources. I have found that horsetail is extremely high in silicon and very good for bone repair, regenerating fingernails, and improving hair strength and vitality in my patients. Only organic silicon helps to do this. The inorganic form doesn't seem to have this effect.

| Hawthorn berry is a good herb to take occasionally to support the heart, as well as peppermint, tansy, and sorrel. Although ginger is good for the heart, it is also heating and thus best taken in the fall. The emotions associated with the heart and small intestine are joy and sorrow. If there is some sorrow, try to let it be released so the joy of summer can be expressed without any holding back

| The herb also supplies an antidepressant dye which acts on the nervous system to reduce anxiety, hysteria, and depression. Before the twentieth century, St. Johnswort was used to rid the body of "bad spirits," a term associated with serious diseases. Terminology aside, St. Johnswort was correctly identified as having great healing potential in the treatment of difficult conditions. The recent scientific discovery of antiviral properties in St. Johnswort reaffirms the value of our ancestral healing awareness. St. |

| After spending a few hundred dollars on the herb, they were left with thinner wallets, and more depressed than ever.
After a a couple of years, and millions of dollars in profits, studies began to trickle into the media spotlight that all the hype over St. John's Wort was just that hype. Yes, there had been a few small studies in Europe which suggested that St. John's Wort was an effective mood lifter, but more rigorous studies with larger numbers of people showed that St. John's Wort may have no more effect on depression than a glass of plain water - if effect, no effect at all! |

 Ginseng
This herb has astonishing neurological effects, and is particularly adroit at stopping the overproduction of Cortisol.
Ginseng, as you may know, is generally regarded as the "Cadillac" of Asian medicinal tonics. It is used very widely in America, Europe, and the Far East, and has been employed medicinally for thousands of years.
High-quality ginseng is very prized among practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. A Chinese emperor once paid the equivalent of thirty thousand dollars for one particularly well-developed root. |
| I recommend to my male patients over fifty that they consider taking saw palmetto berries, a prostate-protecting herb.)
Recently, low-strength formulations of DHEA have begun to appear in some health food stores and mail-order catalogs, but I believe it is unwise to use this medication without the supervision of a doctor. Currently, some young bodybuilders are taking over-the-counter DHEA indiscriminately. Because young people already have optimal levels of DHEA, this use poses a potentially dangerous risk. |
| Though it's ridiculous to pay this much for ginseng, these high prices illustrate the herb's allure.
Ginseng became a major commodity in Europe in the late 1600s, after the King of Siam gave a gift of ginseng to Louis XIV. In America, ginseng was a popular medicinal tonic as early as the mid-1700s. In fact, it was the primary crop harvested and traded by Daniel Boone, who sometimes brought up to fifteen tons of ginseng from the frontiers of Kentucky, where it grew wild, to the eastern United States. In Kentucky, ginseng is still an f 11-million-per-year crop. |

 Facts

| Ginkgo biloba This herb is generally very well tolerated. Ginkgo may potentiate MAO-inhibitors, so consult your physician if you are using an anti-depressant and are not sure if it is in this class of drugs. In large amounts, ginkgo can cause diarrhea, irritability and restlessness. Gingko is also well known to cause heartburn and stomach upset in many people.

| As little as 50 milligrams of dried herb or a single milliliter of lobelia tincture has caused these reactions.
Because of its similarity to nicotine, lobelia may be dangerous to susceptible populations, including children, pregnant women, and individuals with cardiac disease. Lobelia is nevertheless found in dietary supplement products that are marketed for use by children and infants, pregnant women, and smokers.

| Coltsfoot is another good general lung herb to have occasionally. Licorice root is good for the adrenals and is a mild laxative to support the bowels. Grief is the emotion in the Chinese system that is associated with the lungs and large intestine. Repressed grief can inhibit the function of these organs, so the fall is a significant time to get in touch with one's grief and express it and release it.
