Diabetes
About 8.4% of the world's population is estimated to be diabetic. Diabetes is a disease characterized by a high concentration of Glucose (sugar) in the blood and in the urine. The root of the disease and the cause of the high blood sugar concentration in type 2 Diabetes is a resistance to Insulin reception in the body's cells. Insulin is a hormone naturally produced in the Pancreas and released to the blood. When Insulin is absorbed in a cell, it allows the cell to absorb sugar from the blood stream. Due to the cells Insulin-resistance, the sugar is not absorbed and stays in high concentration in the blood.
Some of the symptoms of Diabetes are: heightened sense of hunger and thirst, frequent urination, blurry vision, low "energy", weakness and fatigue, and vulnerability to infections. Some of the possible complications of Diabetes are: damage to the eye's blood vessels and impaired eyesight, kidney blood vessels damage up to a state of kidney failure, arteriosclerosis, damage to nerves and severe infections in the legs, sometimes requiring amputation.
There are several possibilities for natural treatment of Diabetes, according to the treating Doctor's guidance and in parallel with medicinal treatment. First, a well-balanced diet should be prescribed and adhered to (one example is the diet advised by the American Diabetes Association, ADA), as per the treating doctor's recommendation.
Plant based products are popular all over the world. Some may provide symptomatic relief and aid prevent Diabetes, or help prevent some of the disease's possible complications. Other plants may be able to restore Beta cells in the Pancreas or in reducing Insulin resistance, as well as maintaining a balanced level of sugar in the blood.
Medicinal Plants
Stevia - Helps to reduces sugar levels in the blood by rehabilitating the pancreas. In addition it decreases the body's resistance to insulin.
The Stevia has a sweet taste but because the Stevioside doesn’t digest in our body, it has no calories and in addition it doesn’t increases the sugar levels in the blood. On the contrary, it reduces them.
The Stevia's sweetness and lack of sugar whatsoever, allow its use for diabetics as well as for people observing carbohydrates-free diets.
Stevia's other great advantage is its effect on blood sugar level and its virtue to balance high sugar levels. Also, it helps in losing weight and is a natural and healthy substitute for sugar.
Unlike artificial sweeteners, the use of Stevia has no side-effects.
The Glucoside that is extracted from Stevia is 300 times sweeter than sugar and is not digested in the body and therefore its caloric value is: zero calories.
Other advantages Stevia has over sugar: reducing the chances of accumulation of dental plaque, reduction in hunger and reducing the risk of high blood pressure.
Salvia Fruticosa – Helps to reduce blood sugar levels. Relaxes the outer blood vessels and stimulates blood circulation.
Contains Flavenoids, which function as anti-oxidants.
The Salvia is effective against infections; it has an Anti-Viral and Anti-Bacterial activit.

Olive Leaves – Have been proven to greatly facilitate the reduction of blood sugar levels and blood pressure, as well as protecting the heart's function.
In a research conducted in Messina University in Italy, about the effect of olive leaf extract on heart health, it was demonstrated that Oleuropein increases blood flow to the heart, by expanding its blood vessels and reducing blood pressure.
Olive leaves contain Flavenoids which are necessary for the maintenance of the Capillary Blood vessels and for the protection of the Diabetics problematic blood vessels.
In a research at Milan University it was found that the Anti-oxidants which are in the olive leaves, delays Arteriosclerosis and heart diseases.
Another advantage of using olive leaves is the prevention of oxidation of the "bad" cholesterol (LDL), and therefore prevention of deterioration of the heart's coronary blood vessels.

A newspaper article from the Naturopathic: David Kapach
Glucodan Tea - reduces sugar
"This product was developed and manufactured by Nufar Natural Products. It is a mixture of medicinal herbs and intended to be drunk primarily after a heavy meal rich in carbohydrates and fats. This tea assists in reducing the level of sugar in the blood and breaks down accumulated carbohydrates and fats.
It contains 8 special medicinal herbs: Salvia Officinalis (Common sage), Olea Europaea (Olive), Cymbopogon Citratus (Lemon Grass), Stevia Rebaudiana (Stevia), Aloysia Citrodora (Lemon Verbena), Inula Helenium (Elecampagne).
What is special about these herbs is that they create a mixture that assists the body to achieve a balance, to rehabilitate the pancreas and reduces the bodys resistance to insulin.
The Stevia plant, about which I have written in the past that it is a natural sweetener without any calories and does not raise the level of sugar in the blood, allows diabetics to drink sweetened tea without adding sugar. Eucalyptus leaves are an antiseptic and effective in sterilizing the respiratory tract. On the other hand, the Inula Helenium, which grows all over Israel, is considered the king of medicinal herbs, which reduces blood pressure and balances diabetes.
Salvia Officinalis - heals peripheral blood vessels, reduces the level of sugar in the blood and encourages blood circulation.
I have already written a great deal about olive leaves that they reduce the level of sugar and cholesterol in the blood, lower blood pressure, and protect the heart."

For the attention of:
Nufar Natural Products Ltd.
Dear Sirs,
My name is a Dor Dorit Lavie and I have been suffering from Type II Diabetes for almost 10 years. About 5-6 years ago, I found your Glucodan product for maintaining blood sugar levels and despite my skepticism, decided to try it.
Over the years, I have noted that whenever I use this tea after meals, my blood sugar levels after 2 hours is lower. There was a period during which I could not find your product, whereupon my sugar levels, tested once every 3 months, was higher.
From time to time, I also give this product to people who tell me they, or one of their relatives, are suffering from diabetes. They report the improvement back to me.
About 6 months ago, I also discovered your Stevia sweetener which is also wonderful.
Your products have lowered my need for a sweetener. I use Stevia to sweeten almost every beverage I drink.
I wanted to thank you for all you have done. The teabags and the Stevia are available and easy to use.
Thank you for your assistance in helping my blood sugar levels.
May your days be filled with light,
Dor Dorit Lavie

PS. Should diabetics ask you “Does it work?” You may give them my mobile phone No. and I will recommend your products with great enthusiasm.
