Hi,

I did find one site that mentions the plant in relation to diabetes,
but as to how good it is... that's another question. The link below is
the translation of the Spanish site.

Other names that you might find the plant undr are:

Cucurbitaceae Maximowitzia sonorae, warequi and Guareque

Search terms used: wereke plant

Hope someone else can find a better resource for you.

Dr. Rosita Arvigo, who develops herbal remedies and runs Ix Chel Farm
in Belize, may know. See http://www.rainforestremedies.com/ for her
contact information.

No scientific or clinical studies on this plant have appeared in the
peer-reviewed medical literature as indexed on Medline. I have checked
various forms of the name, including the official Latin name.

My Name is Susan Hutchins I have been in the Alternative Healing field
for 25 years.  Have a resource you may find very valuable. 
www.wrf.org  Is the World Research Foundation since 1986.  I know the
founder.  His library has 3 offices one is Sedonna, AZ one in LA, CA
and one in Germany.  His library stocks every known alternative
healing technique used around the world and wear to obtain these
products.  His extensive research is put into packets and sent out to
you, the price is small compared to having to research these remedies
yourself.  I work in live blood cell analyis, (the life is in the
