ABSTRACT:
A medicinal composition is provided for treatment of diabetes in a human subject. The medicinal composition of the invention induces a significant reduction in serum glucose due to the regeneration of pancreatic islet cells. A medicinal composition according to the invention necessarily includes a pharmacologically significant quantity of (-)epicatechin augmented with a comparable amount of gymnemic acid. For best results smaller quantities of cinnamomum tamala, syzygium cumini, trigonella foenum graceum, azardichta indica, ficus racemosa, and tinospora cordifolia are also included in the composition. One to two grams of the medicinal composition of the invention are administered to a diabetic human subject three times a day before meals. The unique combination of components in the medicinal composition leads to a regeneration of the pancreas cells which then start producing insulin on their own. Since the composition restores normal pancreatic function, treatment can be discontinued after between about four and twelve months.
