More than 70% of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, etc., are associated with cell dysfunction, whereas the hidden hunger of cell is one of the contributing factors. If cells are constantly lack of certain nutrients, or if toxins leave too many cells in the "hidden hunger" stage, those cells would be vulnerable to the outside pathogen and eventually cause illness.
In order to eliminate cells' hidden hunger, the study of cell membranes functions and toxins (especially heavy metal poison) control, are both necessary means.
Dr. Schulman's study of cell membrane function shows that the machinery by which cells sort, package and deliver proteins and receptors via membrane channels to the cell surface, is the cells’ main way of controlling activities such as the intake of nutrients.
In order to control toxins, a daily intake of 100μg of selenium helps flush out mercury and neutralize other heavy metal poison, such as cadmium, thallium, and inorganic mercury. Also, chromium is very important in maintaining the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), and it helps type II diabetic patients controls their blood glucose.
Bitter melon contains selenium and chromium which closely related to IST. It contains an extract (Balsam Pear) which could provide sufficient and balanced nutrition to cells. The rich Momordicin contained also have positive control on glycemic, and can also inhibits the overactivity of the cross nervous system. This substance significantly helps eliminate the hidden hunger of cell.
