What standard does a "cure" imply that bitter melon does not meet for established diseases?
Complete eradication or permanent reversal of the disease state
The text stresses the importance of differentiating between potent complementary dietary support and a definitive cure, particularly for chronic conditions like Type 2 Diabetes. A 'cure' implies a standard of achieving complete eradication of the disease or its permanent reversal, such that no further intervention is required to manage the condition. Bitter melon, despite its powerful modulating effects on blood sugar, lipids, and inflammation, does not meet this rigorous standard when rigorously tested against established medical conditions. Its established role is as a modulator—a substance that helps regulate and support biological systems—rather than a standalone agent capable of permanently resolving a diagnosed, chronic disease state.
