INTRODUCTION

Type 2 Diabetes is now prevalent all over the world and in all age groups. Type 2 Diabetes is a pathology that evolves over a long period of time. It either follows one or both of the following paths. The receptors form a resistance to the flood of insulin constantly being released, or the pancreases no longer can produce insulin. Either way, without this natural process the entire metabolism of the body is thrown off balance. These are permanent and lasting damages produced by the over consumption of carbohydrates through one's entire life.

Unfortunately we have never seen this process reversed and there is no native medicinal herb that can replace the bodies need for insulin. That said, this process could have been reversed at the initiation of diabetic or pre diabetic symptoms by a drastic lifestyle change.

The following items, along with diet, help to support the needs of someone that is dealing with this diagnosis.

1) AO Heart Drops:

Aged garlic oil, cayenne, sangre de drago (croton lechleri L.), in an aqueous alcohol base

2) Ajo Tea

Blood purification for cancer, diabetic and heart disease patients. Ajo Té is powerful traditional from the Amazon, used as a general blood purifier, preventative for colds and flus, and in larger, more regular quantities, as an adjunctive in the treatment of a wide variety of degenerative diseases.

3) Pata de Vaca:

Traditional Herbal for High Cholesterol, Diabetes, Stones and Contraception.Pata de Vaca (Cow's Foot) is one of our traditionals. It has been used for millennium as a contraceptive in both Meso and South America; however, it's most common use in the Ecuadorean Amazon is to treat what we would call "high cholesterol," diabetes, and kidney ailments.

4) Vassourinha:

Fevers, Anti-Diabetic, and Aphrodisiac.

Vassourinha ("sweet broom" or "licorice weed") is a small shrub of the foxglove family. Although it can be found in USDA Zones 9 thru 11 in the U.S., it is most abundant in South America, where in some areas it is considered invasive. Having a long list of medicinal properties, Vassourinha (known as "Tiatina" here in Ecuador -- which is only one of over a 120 different common names which this species possesses) is a prominent feature of the herbal medicine practices in every tropical culture in which the plant is found.
