Ketsumeisei has been found to help maintain stabilized blood sugar and improve insulin resistance by helping to lower free fatty acid in the body, according to clinical studies.

Insulin resistance and free fatty acid have been identified as being contributing factors to the onset of diabetes. Our rapidly changing modern lifestyle has also resulted in a sharp increase in the incidence of Type II diabetes mellitus, which is now a major problem for society.

What is Ketsumeisei?
Ketsumeisei is a proprietary herbal compound that affects the entire body, and can be taken for metabolic and microcirculatory disturbances like those associated Type II diabetes mellitus and
insulin resistance.

Ketsumeisei is indicated for the maintenance of normalized blood sugar levels and insulin resistance disorders, such as:
• Obesity
• Hyperlipidemia
• Hyperinsulinemia
• Hypertension
• Arteriosclerosis
• Arteriosclerotic diseases

Studies have shown that glucose levels can be decreased or maintained with less insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents when using 6 grams per day of Ketsumeisei. The suggested use is 3 grams per day.

Who Can Benefit From Ketsumeisei?
Ketsumeisei is appropriate for people with insulin resistance syndrome or microcirculation failures. This includes diabetes, angina, myocardial infarction, eyestrain, anapeiratic red-eye, glaucoma, cataract, constipation, angitis, and phlebeurysm, after effects of stroke, vascular dementia, side effects of anticancer agents, postoperative recovery, intestinal adhesion, congestion resulting from injury, menstrual irregularities, stiff shoulder, coptosis, and anemia.

Ketsumeisei is for people with:

• Pre-diabetes
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
• Type II diabetes
• Poor metabolism
• Circulatory problems
• High blood pressure

Ketsumeisei and Diabetes

Increase in Type II diabetes mellitus:
Diabetes mellitus has become increasingly prevalent, so much so that it is, in fact, currently referred to as a national affliction.”  Type II diabetes, which accounts for about 95% of diabetes mellitus, results from insufficient insulin secretion and insulin resistance (in which insulin cannot be used effectively).  Genetic factors are involved in its etiology, but stress, overeating, lack of exercise, and other modern lifestyle habits also play a large role.  These predisposing factors promote the formation of the diabetic constitution,” which is characterized by metabolic and circulatory disorders.

Dangerous complications of Type II diabetes mellitus:
High blood sugar is just one of the many symptoms of diabetes mellitus.  A continued state of metabolic and circulatory disorder may lead to such pathologies and retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and myocardial infarction (MI), and continue to induce pathological changes throughout the body. 
Type II diabetes is most insidious for its complications.  It is not uncommon for complications to continue to progress even though the blood sugar is well-controlled.  Diabetes mellitus ranks first among diseases for complications.  Current for the complications are not adequately effective, and the need to use multiple medications often leads to adverse reactions.  Treatment of diabetes mellitus must not focus solely on lowering the blood sugar, but must also incorporate measures to improve the constitution.

Ketsumeisei as prevention and treatment of Type II diabetes mellitus:
Ketsumeisei is good for the prevention and treatment of Type II diabetes, its complications and insulin resistant syndromes.  Ketsumeisei s systemic effects improve metabolism and microcirculation disturbances in the body.  Free fatty acid in the body is insulin resistant material.  In clinical studies, Ketsumeisei clearly decreases free fatty acid in Type II diabetics.  This product also helps decrease glucose indirectly by correcting insulin resistance as a result of the decrease of free fatty acid.  Microcirculation disturbance can cause multiple complications.  The proprietary mix of ingredients (including flavonoid & diadzein in fruit kudzuvine, carthamidin in safflower, and saponin in Korean ginseng) can help improve total body microcirculation.

Subjective symptoms in diabetics:
Diabetics also suffer from various other symptoms including malaise and numbness.  Milkvetch root, Chinese wild yam and licorice are reported to be anti-fatigue and excitometabolic.  Most diabetics recognize improvement in various subjective symptoms in a few weeks and improved activity levels have been noted.  Additionally, cape jasmine and licorice have been shown to have ant-inflammation effects.  In China, flatstem milkvetch seed has been used to prevent and treat visual impairment.  Symptoms of retinopathy or acro-tetraplegia, if present, improved within a month of using Ketsumeisei.  Shortness of breath by stenocardia was also improved. 

Liver Function and diabetes:
After a meal, non-diabetics store approximately 40% of glucose in the liver before being distributed to the blood as required.  People become diabetic if there is insulin resistance caused by functional decline or disease of the liver.  All Type II diabetics suffer from minor functional diseases of the liver, such as fatty liver, and slow flow of blood and bile.  When these minor functional diseases of the liver are treated, metabolism accelerates.  Ketsumeisei s ingredients including flatstem milkvetch root, cape jasmine and licorice can help improve liver function.

Results
Treatments for diabetics has always included lowering and controlling the patient s blood sugar levels, yet this approach often fails to stop further complications and may cause serious side effects, especially, when the patient is taking several drugs. Ketsumeisei offers a way to improve symptoms to help prevent more damage.

Clinical studies have shown that in Type II diabetic patients, Ketsumeisei can clearly:
• Help improve metabolism
• Help lower blood pressure
• Help increase ATP (energy of the cells)
• Help decrease or maintain glucose levels
• Help decrease free fatty acid, which may contribute to insulin resistance

In one study, 60% of diabetics taking Ketsumeisei experienced decreased glucose within 2 months. Nearly 100% of diabetics experienced improvement of subjective symptoms during the same time period.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory
The spleen” of traditional Chinese medicine refers to the functional system that controls digestion, absorption, and metabolism. The diabetic constitution is attributed to the metabolic and circulatory pathologic condition associated with spleen vacuity”, stagnant blood, and liver-kidney yin deficiency. The primary pathology is spleen vacuity”, characterized by metabolic disorder. This leads to microcirculatory disorder (stagnant blood), which leads to inadequate synthesis of bodily substances (e.g., blood-pressure-controlling substances as liver-kidney yin). Type II diabetes is not rapid onset. The diabetic constitution commonly predates the abnormal rise in blood sugar. Onset of diabetes and diabetic complications may be prevented by early correction of the constitution.

Ketsumeisei is recommended by the Embassy of the People s Republic of China in Japan and the Japan-China Society, Inc.

Dr. Xianen Wang, MD, PhD
Dr. Xianen Wang began investigating viable diabetes treatments when he noticed that the disease was on the rise, with increasing numbers of patients suffering and dying from complications. The development of insulin and medications did not lower the incidence. Because genetic and molecular therapies provide only local treatment for certain symptoms, Dr. Wang formulated Ketsumeisei, a proprietary herbal compound that has been widely used in China and Japan to treat diabetes for many years.

Dr. Wang s ongoing involvement in diabetes is practical and solution-oriented, emphasizing studies that will directly alleviate patients pain, rather than studies for purely academic purposes. Dr. Wang was granted an Associate Professorship at China s Tongji Medical College in 1995, and became a Full Professor there in 2002. In December 2005, he became an Associate Professor in the Department of Gastroenterology, as well as a Japan s very first Foreign Associate Professor at Juntendo University s School of Medicine.
