(PRWEB) July 16, 2006 -- "Ampalaya: Nature's Remedy for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes," by Frank Murray, published by Basic Health Publications, Laguna Beach, Calif.

Diabetes mellitus is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for almost 800,000 new cases annually. This impending epidemic is expected to reach 22 million Americans by 2025, up from 16 million in 2001, bringing an increase in heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, and amputations. Because of obesity and sedentary lifestiles, the epidemic is spreading worldwide.

Contributing to the disease are the risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome--previously called Syndrome X--including abdominal obesity, raised cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure and a fasting glucose level less than 100 mg/dl.

Frank Murray's new book documents how this versatile vegetable--known in the U.S. as bitter melon or bitter gourd--dramatically lowers blood sugar levels in diabetics. Numerous case histories explain how this is accomplished by eating the vegetable or using a tea or capsule made from it.

While specifics of how Ampalaya lowers blood sugar levels are still being investigated, the vegetable's constituents tell the story, including its content of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, polypeptides, fatty acids, p-insulin, and others.

The book includes numerous scientific studies, involving both human beings and animals, further supporting the efficacy of using Ampalaya to lower blood sugar levels. Some researchers refer to one of its constituents as "vegetable insulin."

Also included are the importance of nutrition, exercise, and support groups, and the book spells out how diabetics can care for their eyes, kidneys and feet.
