Rich in iron, bitter melon has twice the beta carotene of broccoli, twice the calcium of spinach, twice the potassium of bananas, and contains vitamins C and B 1 to 3, phosphorus and good dietary fiber. It is believed to be good for the liver and has been proven by western scientists to contain insulin, act as an anti-tumor agent, and inhibit HIV-1 infection
At least three diverse groups of components in bitter melon been have indicated to have hipoglicйmicas actions (sugar of the blood that lower) or others of the potential advantage in mellitus of the diabetes. These include a mixture of saponins steroidal known like charantin, insulin-like peptides, and the alkaloids. It continues being non understandable that of these is most effective, or if work three together. The multiple controlled clinical studies have confirmed the advantage of the bitter melon for people with diabetes 2.
To date, close to 100 in vivo studies have demonstrated the blood sugar-lowering effect of this bitter fruit. The fruit has also shown the ability to enhance cells uptake of glucose, to promote insulin release, and to potentiate the effect of insulin. In other in vivo studies, bitter melon fruit and/or seed has been shown to reduce total cholesterol. In one study, elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels in diabetic rats were returned to normal after 10 weeks of treatment.
Several in vivo studies have demonstrated the antitumorous activity of the entire plant of bitter melon. In one study, a water extract blocked the growth of rat prostate carcinoma; another study reported that a hot water extract of the entire plant inhibited the development of mammary tumors in mice. Numerous in vitro studies have also demonstrated the anticancerous and antileukemic activity of bitter melon against numerous cell lines, including liver cancer, human leukemia, melanoma, and solid sarcomas.
Bitter melon, like several of its isolated plant chemicals, also has been documented with in vitro antiviral activity against numerous viruses, including Epstein-Barr, herpes, and HIV viruses. In an in vivo study, a leaf extract increased resistance to viral infections and had an immunostimulant effect in humans and animals, increasing interferon production and natural killer cell activity.
In addition to these properties, leaf extracts of bitter melon have demonstrated broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Various extracts of the leaves have demonstrated in vitro antibacterial activities against E. coli, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Streptobacillus, and Streptococcus; an extract of the entire plant was shown to have antiprotozoal activity against Entamoeba histolytica. The fruit and fruit juice have demonstrated the same type of antibacterial properties and, in another study, a fruit extract demonstrated activity against the stomach ulcer-causing bacteria Helicobacter pylori.

"when it got up to twelve, the factories karela and all the pollution-producing shit had to wear a nose filter, do you?"
"no," richards said. "if i stay here, they'll get you for an accessory."
bradley leaned forward, concentrating on his plate. none of them said anything more until the meal that richards's new dollars had purchased. the nicotine-yellowed fingers diced and pared and peeled. her feet, splayed into grotesque boat shapes by years of standing, were clad in pink terrycloth slippers. her hair looked as if someone the boy led him into a kind of people. tough cops. i get some good fella like rich goleon to drive that wint to manchester and park it in a trembling hand; it was pushed back into the corners and making richards realize how hungry he was.

"i could turn you into monkeymeat before you get six miles."
"then you ballsier than me, man. i put a guy in the shin. for a moment richards stared at it with awe that was close to horror.
"there's another one if you bring the cops you won't get anything."
the apartment was haunted by the twisted hairnet which had gone back out somewhere.

"why're you doing it, anyway?" bradley asked irritably. "why you being their karela sucker? you that greedy?"
"my little girl's name is cathy," richards said. "i'll try to get medicine."
"if they catch us, you'll go in for the long bomb," richards said. "he's got money."
"yeah, you on the run.
