two hours after eating. : : The beverage that contained highest concentration of herbal extract - 1,000 milligrams - provided most dramatic reduction in insulin and blood glucose levels. Insulin levels were 29 percent lower, while blood glucose levels were 23 percent lower as compared to control drink, which contained no herbal extract. : : As Salacia oblonga can cause intestinal gas, researchers had study participants collect breath hydrogen samples hourly for eight hours after drinking test beverage. The participants collected their breath in small plastic tubes. The researchers then analyzed these breath samples for hydrogen and methane content - level of either substance in breath corresponds to level contained in colon. : : The subjects also rated frequency and intensity of nausea, abdominal cramping and distention and gas for two days after consuming each test meal. : : While test beverages containing Salacia oblonga caused an increase in breath hydrogen excretion, reports of gastrointestinal discomfort were minimal, Hertzler said. : : Right now he and his colleagues are trying to figure out what dose of herb is most effective, and when it should be taken relative to a meal. : : "We want to know how long it takes for herb to bind to enzymes that break down carbohydrates," Hertzler said. "The participants in this study took herb with their meal, but maybe taking it before eating would be even more effective." : : The researchers also want to study effects of Salacia oblonga in people with diabetes. : : "A lot of studies show that lowering blood sugar levels reduces risk for all kinds of diabetes-related complications, such as kidney disease and nerve and eye damage," Hertzler said. "We want to see if this herb has this kind of effect." : : Salacia oblonga is still relatively difficult to find in United States, Hertzler said, although there are manufacturers that sell herb through Internet. : : This study was supported by Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories in Columbus. : : Hertzler is continuing to conduct Salacia oblonga studies with Ross Products Division of Abbott Laboratories. He has no links to company beyond this affiliation. : : Hertzler conducted work with former Ohio State colleague Patricia Heacock, who is now at Rutgers, State University of New Jersey; Jennifer Williams, a clinical scientist with Ross Products Division, Abbott Laboratories; and Bryan Wolf, a former research scientists with Ross Products Division

Let me ask you. Do you have to educate yourself to protect your pay? Attend classes in your off time? Having to spend more time away from home and family just to keep pay level you have? If you are having to do any of these than maybe its time that you start looking for others ways to insure your future. Because it just might be that your future with your company is starting to become weak or short. Most employers now-a-days can't or even won't try to promise a secure future with them anymore. Soon more and more breadwinners will start looking at other ways to increase their income and secure their future. Many will become successful enough to quit their jobs and retire early because they decided to act on what they see going on around them. They decided to take matters into their own hands and out of hands of their employers. Taking control of their own destiny. I'm not being radical at all about pay-cuts and secure employment. If its not happening where you work right now, it possibly will soon. All you got to do is turn on news or pick up a newspaper and see how trend is going. Job losses because of downsizing, Operations shutting down and moving out of country in favor of lower wage earners and increased profits. I very seldom listen to or read news, but almost anytime I do I hear about pay-cuts and job losses. No, I'm not being radical, just matter-of-fact. Corporate America is for "Corporate America and stockholders", not Americans. Even if your company is owned by a foreign corporation. SFI can and will promise you a Secure and even a Strong Future if you're willing to put in a few extra hours of work each week. I'm not counting on my employer any longer for a dim unforseeable future. My future is brighter and yours can be too.
