Ignorance, they say, is bliss. But viewing this statement in another context, we need to ask "ignorance of what?" The ignorance of "see no evil, and hear no evil" may seem like bliss on one hand, but even that could be dangerous in itself. I make bold to say that because, knowing certain types of evil, or seeing them could help you run away from them in good time. I feel very strongly about the message I am trying to get across, because it could be useful for a lot of people who need it, and who are adventurous enough to try it out.
I was diagnosed with diabetes some six or so years ago. I started taking a battery of medications, and life changed for me dramatically. The change I am talking about is not the need to poke myself with a needle to draw blood and check the amount of unused sugar there. I am talking about the side effects the medications caused-three of them. I started to get constipated all the time. I lost my appetite and food started to be unappealing to me. Being an adventurous soul, I started to read about some possible alternatives. I did not stop taking my medications, mind you. I just added some things I got information about. As luck would have it, one of them was some plant material which I had known to be used as food in Africa- bitter leaf. It is an evergreen shrub normally planted behind houses and harvested as needed in tropical and sub-tropical climates. I found that it also could survive in colder parts of the world.
Bitter leaf is bitter, make no mistake about it. When used as food, it is squeezed and washed to remove most of the bitterness. Using it as medicine for diabetes, however, does not require the squeezing and washing, otherwise you lose most of the "medicine". I considered in my heart that I would use the dried leaves. They dry very easily in the sun or in the oven. I obtained the dried leaves, crushed them and fed them into my coffee maker :) Don't forget that coffee is also bitter, if you choose to drink it "black, no sugar and no milk" style. That is exactly what I did. I have been drinking this stuff for a few weeks no, and it has worked like a charm! I brew it coffee-style too. Maybe not as dark as most coffee brands, but it is not roasted. I have not even evaluated how good it is for diabetes, but I made a discovery, or maybe not a discovery if you consider that some people already might have known about it. This stuff is really good for arthritis and INFLAMMATIONS. Swellings in my joints have healed dramatically!
I find it difficult to keep this to myself. My APETITE has become very healthy, and I find myself licking my lips again at the thought of food :). I hope to get more and drink this on a regular basis. What is more, I am so adapted to the taste now, and there is a very nicely sweet aftertaste to it. In my consideration, it tastes better than coffee.
