Summary:Recent epidemiological studies predict that the worldwide incidence of type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases are increasing at an alarming rate. Currently, limited cures are available to prevent or cure diabetes and related postprandial glycemia, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. The publications, Internet search of research articles from Pub Med and University of Toronto library, as well as discussions with nutritional scientists and basic researchers. Unfortunately, the vast majority of herbal remedies lack quality control, standardization, and clinical scrutiny for treatment of ailments. Thus patients continue self-medicating with herbal products with little or no evidence of their safety and efficacy. WHO study groups strongly emphasize the optimal and rational uses of traditional medicines. Regulatory agencies like Food Trade Commission, Food & Drug Administration of USA, and Health Canada are deeply concerned about the effectiveness and safety of natural health products and alternative therapies. This scientific approach has been strongly recommended in this communication.
