Natural Solution for Diabetic Retinopathy Latest Use for Pycnogenol
Exciting new research out of Italy confirmed just the latest use for an incredibly versatile nutrient, Pycnogenol, an extract of French maritime pine bark. Clearly if youre living with diabetes, this natural treatment is worth a closer look.
Published in the Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, this latest study shows that supplementing with Pycnogenol can improve microcirculation, retinal edema and visual acuity in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy.
This is big news for anyone with diabetes, as nearly half of those dealing with diabetes have some degree of retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness.
Study participants took 150 mg Pycnogenol once daily for 90 days, while a control group was given a placebo. All patients had diabetes for at least four years before the trial, and all were beginning to develop diabetic retinopathy.
While the placebo group showed no improvement, 75 percent of the pine bark group had improved vision. Researchers noted that the supplement appeared to help seal the leaky blood vessels that lead to retinopathy. This powerful natural diabetes treatment promotes circulation and helps stave off one of the worst complications of diabetes.
Dr. Whitaker has written about Pycnogenol many times over the years in Health & Healing, for conditions as varied as heart disease, asthma, varicose veins, erectile dysfunction and
deep vein thrombosis.
In fact, Dr. Whitaker first wrote about this natural therapy for diabetic retinopathy in 1993!
Once again, it pays to listen to Dr. Whitaker, so youll learn about the best natural therapies, sometimes decades before the mainstream.
