| Abstract: | Soy bean
(Glycine max Merrill) seeds when soaked and germinated become
highly effective blood sugar regulator. This was observed in 35 volunteer
type–II diabetes patients. All patients except one were taking oral hypoglycemic
drugs (OHG) to control their elevated blood sugar level before they started
taking soaked and germinated soybean seeds as a medicine to control their blood
sugar. These patients stopped taking OHG during the period of investigation and
took only soaked and germinated soybean seeds as a medicine to control their
high blood sugar level. It was observed that soaked and germinated soybean seeds
are more effective than the OHG. Out of these 35 patients the blood sugar of 22
patients, were observed for three months; of these 22 patients 4 patients got
revived. |
