A
Cure For Diabetes and Obesity?
An extract from the ginseng berry shows
real promise in treating diabetes and obesity, reports a
research team from the University of Chicago's Tang Center for
Herbal Medicine Research. In the June issue of the journal Diabetes,
they show that the extract completely normalized blood glucose
levels, improved sensitivity to insulin, lowered cholesterol
levels, and decreased weight by reducing appetite and
increasing activity levels in mice bred to develop diabetes.

We
continue to have emails asking about the ginseng berry pulp powder;
our best information at this point is that the only way to get the
berries is grow your own.
Three Year Old "Glacial Gold"
Rootlets Planted This Spring Will Produce Seeds and Pulp This Fall.
Course look at it this way, you have your own supply of the
berry pulp (just separate it from the seeds and dry in your home
dehydrator) and you will have the money from selling your seeds or you
can plant them and raise more.
If
you plant "Glacial
Gold" 3
year-old roots this spring
you will have your first seed crop This
Fall. These roots are
woods grown, have never been sprayed with any weed killers, insect
sprays etc. The come from one of our most successful and
knowledgeable growers, it the last 4 years he has planted 900 # of "Glacial
Gold"
seed. Close husbandry
of your plants in the first few years, as he has done, will bring
big rewards. At 4 years
your seed crops will start, harvest and you sell the seeds till your roots
are 7 or 8 years old and you have more than made back the cost of
your roots, and the sale of the mature ginseng roots will all be
pure profit.
The
ginseng berry pulp demand is out there, and building.
At this time, the only way we
know of to get a supply of ginseng berry pulp, that is with
in economic reason, is to grow your own.
After
you harvest the ginseng berries, separating the pulp and the seed is
next. There are a
couple of different methods. Most
growers put them in a burlap sack, you would want a clean one, might
be a good idea to wash it first, fasten it shut and gently press in
the bag with your feet to loosen the pulp from the seeds.
Another way would be to use cheesecloth to wrap the berries
in and then press them to loosen the pulp from the seeds.
This
pulp can then be dried in a home dehydrator. After
dehydrating, if it is vacuum packed and put in the freezer, the
berry pulp can be kept for an extended period of time.
We
realize that it seems so simple; here these growers have been just
throwing the berry pulp away for years, because we did not know of
its great value to health. The
problem is that to process the pulp and still harvest the seeds
(which is a cash crop to the growers) there has to be the incentive
and the resources to develop methods and machines to separate the
berry pulp from the seeds on a commercial scale.
Unfortunately, until the growers in this country see the
profit in investing that kind of money, we are not going to see a
large availability of ginseng berry pulp.
I
invite all of you growers, who receive this newsletter, to kick it
around in your head and let me know what your ideas are for
separating the berries so the pulp can still be used for human
consumption.
What
it is going to take is for a major natural health foods company to
come forward, see this potential here, and put their heads and their
wallets together with the ginseng growers to develop this kind of
equipment and process.
The
ability to grow ginseng on a commercial basis is not far fetched or
some sort of dream. We
have an excellent, knowledgeable, outstanding commercial grower, who
in the last 4-5 years has planted 900# of our Glacial Gold Seeds,
and the results are out standing.
It is this grower who produces the 3 year-old roots we sell
for repropagation. I
cannot say enough about the quality of these roots.
They are hardy, healthy, sturdy roots.
He has never sprayed any chemicals of any kind on it and it
has not had to cope with leaf blight.
With
the Chinese buying up large supplies of seed each fall for the next
4-5 years, there is going to be an increased demand for ginseng
seeds. The woods grown
seeds, and roots are the most sought after ginseng in the World.
