I would caution against using this as a miracle cure, but there is more going on in natural remedies than we know. Anyway, I thought it would be of interest for the site.Opuntia streptacantha
Opuntia streptacantha (nopal) is commonly known as the prickly-pear cactus in the arid regions where it grows. Inhabitants of the Mexican desert have traditionally employed the plant in glucose control. Intestinal glucose uptake may be affected by some properties of the plant, and animal studies have found significant decreases in postprandial glucose and HbA1c. Once again, to validate the prickly-pear cactus as an effective means of aiding diabetic patients, long-term clinical trials are needed.
May you all enjoy great health and not need any cures!
