Discovered by Mexican shamans

The common disease diabetes can be effectively treated with a herbal remedy. In the Mexican highlands, shamans have long been using a special healing water to lower blood sugar. The Bonn scientist Helmut Wiedenfeld has now confirmed the effect of the herbal remedy and wants to bring it as a drug on the local market. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC reports in the November issue (EVT 27.10.2003).

The Mexican shamans call the remedy "Agua de uso" the medicine they prescribe to their patients with so-called "sweet blood". Behind it hides a mixture of water and extracts of medicinal plants, such as the aster family Chromolaena. An employee of the team around Wiedenfeld found out during his stay in Mexico that the special preparation of the healing water is crucial: The shamans put the plant with corn and leave this mixture for some time. Enzymes then break down the ingredients of the plant. One of the resulting parts lowers the blood sugar. Wiedenfeld has now managed to dry the agent and to fill the powder in capsules. When the remedy will be available as a drug in pharmacies, is not fixed yet.
