Fungal infection is a common disease caused by an overgrowth of fungus.
In other words, it is the condition in which the immune system that protects the body against microorganisms has been overwhelming by the overgrowth of fungus.
Candida albicans are members of a large group of microorganisms whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within the membranes, including yeasts, fungi, and molds that live among the gut flora in the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Candida albicans that does not cause harmful effects, but overgrowth results in candidiasis. Non-albicans Candida (NAC) species cause 35-65% of all candidaemias in the general patient population.
According to the joint study, in many cases, biofilm (microorganisms with cells stick to each other on a surface) formation gene mutations are often associated with increased Candida resistance toward antifungal agents.
Infectious diseases are a medical condition caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi.
Most cases of infectious diseases are contagious by spreading directly or indirectly, from one person to another.
In other words, if you kiss, or are coughed or sneezed on by an infectious person, you are at risk of developing the same infectious disease.
According to the statistic provided by the World Health Organization, 3 infectious diseases were ranked in the top ten causes of death worldwide in 2016.
More precisely, lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, and tuberculosis induced 3.0 million, 1.4 million, and 1.3 million deaths, respectively.
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
On finding a potent compound that processes the infectious diseases, researchers examined the effects of withanamides in W. somnifera anti-fungal activity on Candida albicans (C. albicans).
The study included 9 vaginal samples collected using the sterile swap and Falcon tube by the gynecological specialists.
Based on the results of the tested analysis, withanamides incubated with C. Albicans showed a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against C. Albicans, equivalent to 50 ppm to 250 ppm.
In other words, withanamides extract isolated from W. somnifera exhibited strong activity against infectious disease caused by C. Albicans.
After taking into account of con and cofounders, researchers wrote, "The results of this study showed that the antifungal activity of wind cheese against C. Albicans is good, so it can be used as a drug to treat infections caused by C. Albicans".
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha processes abundantly withanamides may be considered a functional herb for the treatment of infectious diseases associated with C. Albicans, pending to the result of larger sample size and multicenter study

Herbal Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara), the Liver-protective Remedy
The liver is the largest internal and only organ in the human body that can regenerate itself.
The liver is the first line of detoxing defense by filtering the blood that comes from the digestive tract, before passing them to other organs and tissues in the body.
The liver also produces cholesterol that plays a critical role in building strong cell membranes, producing steroid hormones and vitamin D, and aiding the digestive function in food absorption and detoxifying chemicals and metabolizing drugs.
The hepatoprotective or liver protective effect is an action that maintains the healthy function of the liver against any harmful toxins.
Symptoms of liver diseases include jaundice, abdominal pain, and swelling, swelling in the legs and ankles, itchy skin, dark urine, and pale stool color, and a tendency to bruise easily.
There are no exact causes of liver disease. Viruses, toxins, genetics, alcohol, and unknown causes are some prevalent factors found in patients with chronic liver disease, including cancer.
In the US, most cases of liver disease are a result of hepatitis viral infection and autoimmune diseases. Infectious viral hepatitis can produce toxins to protect them against the antioxidant enzymes produced by the host body and prevent the attack of the systematic immune response.
Furthermore, in recent years, excessive alcohol drinking has been found to induce alcoholic liver disease in many parts of Asia and America.
Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant, genus Tussilago, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia. The herb has been used over thousands of years to treat asthma, various coughs, bronchial congestion, respiratory disorders, headaches and obstruction in the nasal passage, etc.
On finding a potential compound which processes a liver protective effect, researchers examined the highly active photocomposition (PC-1) containing oregano (Origanum vulgare), wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum) and coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) aerial parts, valerian (Valeriana officinalis) leaves and little-leaf linden (Tilia cordata) flowers and PC-1 extract exhibited the strongest anti-lipid peroxidation (LPO)O and antihemolytic effects.
According to the tested results, PC-1 extract activated the Nrf2/antioxidant response is more effective comapred to the extracts of other photocomposition.
Furthermore, oral administration of PC-1 extract (100-200 mg/kg) markedly protected the rat liver injury acutely or chronically against intoxicated by carbon tetrachloride.
The liver protective activity of PC-1 was attributed to the activation of the levels of antioxidant enzymes in the host and the improvement of liver histology, blood chemistry parameters.
Moreover, the osmotic fragility test (OFT) also addressed that PC-1 extract inhibited the destruction of red blood cells in carbon tetrachloride intoxicated rats.
Based on the findings, researchers said, " these data support the strategy of in-vitro plant selection for developing efficacious tissue-protective photocomposition".
Taken altogether, coltsfoot may be considered a liver protective remedy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Bilberry, A Natural Treatment for Peyronie's disease
Peyronie's disease is a rare condition caused by plaque, that forms inside the penis, leading to a bent erect penis, depending on where the plaque is located.
Patients with Peyronie's disease has been found to affect sexual desire due to a physical condition associated with painful sexual intercourse and erectile dysfunction.
Researchers do not know the exact causes of Peyronie's disease. However, according to the epidemiological studies, researchers suggested that injury that causes bleeding inside the penis may induce the built-up of scars, particularly in men with the genetic preposition of certain genes.
Most cases of pain in Peyronie’s disease are mild and often do not require treatment, however, over counter medicine may be needed occasionally.
Believe or not, most mild cases of men with Peyronie's disease do not require treatment as the condition has been found to go away within a year. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the scar tissues in the penis that cause the condition.
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, and psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
Researchers on finding a natural compound for the treatment of Peyronie's disease investigated various antioxidants, including bilberry in PD treatment with significantly increase the likelihood of therapeutic success.
By comparing the effects of silymarin, ginkgo biloba, vitamin E, bilberry, topical diclofenac sodium, and pentoxifylline (PTX) in patients with PD, researchers found that by administration of a single oral antioxidant; two oral antioxidants; three oral antioxidants; five oral antioxidants + local diclofenac; and five oral antioxidants + local diclofenac + PTX achieve better results when combining more than one agent.
According to the tested assays, the combination of more than a single compound reduced the symptoms in patients with PD, including the improvement and disappearance of penile pain; percentage of reduction in the volume of penile plaque; reduction in penile curvature; recovery of erectile function in patients with erectile dysfunction; increase in the International Index of Erectile Function score; and reduction of psychosexual impact.
Particularly, treatment of combined therapy including oral treatment with more than one antioxidant is greater when topical use of diclofenac gel and perilesional injection of PTX, compared to those of single conventional medicine.
In other words, combined natural or dietary antioxidants such as bilberry into the diet of patients with PD are more effective in inhibiting the symptoms compared to the use alone of any single ingredient therapy.
The final outcome of 6 months of treatment showed that combined antioxidant therapy is effective in treating PD.
Dr. Paulis G, the lead scientist, after taking other factors into account wrote in the final report, " Although several articles have already been published reporting the effectiveness of combined treatment in PD, this is the first study clearly proving how, as the number of substances used in treatment rises, a proportionally greater therapeutic effect is achieved."
Taken altogether, bilberry combined with other antioxidants or conventional medicines may be considered function remedies for the treatment of Peyronie's disease (PD), pending to the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Bromelain Modulates the Immune Function Against Allergic Airway Disease (AAD)
Chronic allergic airways disease (AAD) is a group of the disease characterized by airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR).
Airway inflammation is the hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated with low-grade inflammation caused by persistent production of proinflammatory cytokines by the immune system in the airway.
On the other hand, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is a cardinal feature of asthma associated with the response of the immune system against pathogens.
The most common symptoms of coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath in reactive airway disease (AAD) may not be due to asthma or other chronic airways conditions.
Conventionally, reactive airway inflammatory disease is treated with medication to control symptoms such as long-term use of an inhaler to relieve attacks and improved quality of life through avoidance of irritants.
If the cause of reactive airway disease is found, most cases of the condition may be cured by medication.
Dr. Jill R. Johnson, the lead scientist in the examination of Allergic Airway Disease: More than Meets the IgE? wrote, "After exposure, allergens crosslink with IgE on mast cells and induce histamine and leukotriene release (6), thereby initiating the allergic response and leading to the classic symptoms of allergy, i.e., sneezing and wheezing".
And, ". Omalizumab binds to the Ce3 domain of free IgE with high affinity (7), thereby inhibiting early- and late-phase asthmatic reactions (8) and decreasing the frequency of exacerbations in severe asthmatics (9). Omalizumab binding also prevents IgE from interacting with Fc«RI and Fc«RII1 on effector cells (mast cells, B cells, eosinophils, dendritic cells, and monocytes), thus impairing their activation and making them less sensitive to allergens, and disabling signaling cascades (10), with the end result of a reduction in symptoms".
In other words, allergic airway disease (AAD) is a result of an immune response upon exposure to the allergens, Therefore, by making the immune system less sensitive to allergens, symptoms of allergic airway disease (AAD) may be reduced.
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
With an aim to discover a potential compound for the treatment of diseases associated with chronic inflammation, researchers examined the ability of bromelain in reducing the inflammation of preexisting asthma via ovalbumin (OVA)-induced murine model of allergic airway disease (AAD).
The study included female C57BL/6J mice with intraperitoneal OVA/alum and then challenged them with OVA aerosolization for 10 consecutive days.
On day 4, phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was administrated to the control group (n = 10) and bromelain (6mg/kg) in PBS were administrated to the bromelain (intervention) group (n = 10).
According to the tested assays, bromelain treatment of AAD mice (bromelain group) showed a significant anti-inflammatory activity indicated by reduced BAL total leukocytes, eosinophils, and cellular infiltrates via lung pathology compared to the control group.
Furthermore, bromelain also significantly reduced bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) CD4+ associated and CD8+ T cells d with the T helper 2 (TH2) cells in the promotion of allergic inflammation process without affecting cell numbers in the spleen or hilar lymph node.
The efficacy bromelain in the inhibition was attributed to the decreased interleukins involved in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
In other words, bromelain protects asthma patients against allergic airway inflammation through its strong anti-inflammatory property.
Based on the results, researchers said, "bromelain has a therapeutic effect in established AAD, which may translate into an effective adjunctive therapy in patients with similar conditions, such as allergic asthma, who have chosen to initiate treatment after the onset of symptoms".
In order to find more information about bromelain anti-ADD activity, researchers investigated the effect of bromelain treatment in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced murine model of allergic airway disease (AAD).
Selected mice were sensitized with intraperitoneal (i.p.) OVA/alum and challenged with daily OVA aerosols to induce ADD followed by the treatment of either saline, 2 or 6 mg/kg bromelain, twice daily for four consecutive days.
According to the findings, bromelain showed a similar effect as the aforementioned results in reduced total BAL leukocytes, eosinophils, CD4+, and CD8+ T lymphocytes, CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio, and IL-13.
Taken altogether, bromelain may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of allergic airway disease ADD, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of bromelain in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Cranberry, the Remedy for Reducing the Risk Treatment of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
The liver is the largest internal organ found in the human which plays an essential role in filtering the blood from the digestive system before passing them to other parts of the body.
The liver also produces cholesterol, a waxy substance which aids digestion, builds cell membranes and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.
Liver disease is a class of medical conditions characterized by the reduction partly or completely the function of the liver, including liver failure.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic condition caused by fat accumulated in the liver over time, in the absence of excessive alcohol use. The disease can be classified into the types of non-inflammatory fatty liver (NAFl) and inflammatory nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)(1).
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the major causes of cirrhosis and liver cancer.
According to world statistics, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is normally known as a disease of the Western world(2). However, due to the economic prosperity of Southeast Asian(3), the disease also was found in a large population in the cities, causing concerns of many scientists in the region(4)(6).
According to the joint assessment of the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and risk factors for advanced fibrosis and mortality in the US, led by the Stanford University School of Medicine, "The prevalence of NAFLD in the United States (U.S.) has risen from 18% in 1988–1991 to 31% in 2011–2012. Estimates of NAFLD prevalence for adults in Western countries are 20–30%, with much higher prevalence in adults with obesity (80–90%), diabetes (30–50%), and hyperlipidemia (90%)"(5).
The exact causes of NAFLD aren't well understood. Some researchers suggested that certain risk factors such as long-term use of certain medications(8), genetic preposition(8), insulin resistance(8), high cholesterol(8) and triglycerides(8) in the blood, polycystic ovary syndrome(8), metabolic syndrome(8), obesity(8), and type 2 diabetes(8) are associated with the onset of the disease.
Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.
On finding a potential compound for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases, researchers investigated cranberry effects on metabolic profiles, including that during the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), in a high-fat diet (HFD)-fed C57BL/6 mice.
According to the results of the experiment, the application of cranberry reduced the levels of oxidative stress in mice that were fed HFD diets with supplementation of 1 and 5% cranberry powder, compared to HFD-fed control mice.
1 week after beginning the diets to the end of the study, the bodyweight of mice in the cranberry-treatment groups was significantly lower, compared to mice in the HFD-fed control group.
Furthermore, during the early treatment phase, the injection of cranberry suppressed the elevation of serum triglycerides, leading to the smaller of the adipocytes in the adipose tissues in HFD-fed mice compared to the cells in HFD-fed control mice.
More importantly, the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) characteristics of the levels of lipid-droplet formation and hepatocyte ballooning in the liver were drastically decreased in cranberry-supplemented-HFD-fed mice relative to the levels in HFD-fed control mice.
Based on the findings, researchers said, " Cranberry ameliorates HFD-induced metabolic disturbances, particularly during the early treatment stage, and exhibits considerable potential for preventing the progression of NAFLD.".
Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a functional food for the treatment of NAFLD, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cranberry Effects on Diabetes and Hypertension Management
Diabetes is a medical condition caused by not insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream.
In other words, diabetes is a condition associated with the inability of the body to use insulin properly.
Most cases of insulin insufficiency in the bloodstream in diabetes are either caused by the gradual died-off of the pancreas beta cells or insulin receptors clogged-up by fat and cholesterol.
Hallmarks of diabetes are hyperglycemia and insulin resistance.
According to the statistics, in 2017, 7.3% of Canadians aged 12 and older (roughly 2.3 million people) reported being diagnosed with diabetes.
Most common causes of diabetes are metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose, gestational diabetes, prediabetes, damage to the pancreas causes the gradual and irreversible loss of beta cells that reduce the production of insulin, and influenza a viruses
Hypertension, a condition associated with the cluster of metabolic syndrome is a medical condition associated with abnormally high blood pressure.
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood and changes constantly depending on activity. However, persistent hypertension due to poor management over time can lead to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
According to the statistics provided by the American Heart Association., nearly half of all adults in the United States are living with high blood pressure or 1 in 3 American are hypertensive.
Hypertension is leading risk factors of heart disease and stroke that cause most death in the US
The most common prevalent factors associated with the condition onset are family history, aging, being male, being overweight or obese, ethnicity, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet and medical condition such as chronic kidney disease.
Believe it or not, excessive alcohol drinking is also one of the major causes besides obesity in elevating the syndrome onset.
Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.
On finding a potential compound for the management of blood pressure, researchers examined the effect of a water-soluble cranberry-based phytochemical combination with oregano, rosemary, and Rhodiola Rosea against hypertension.
According to the tested analysis, the 75% cranberry with 25% oregano combinations showed the highest antioxidant phenolics (38.9 mg/g DW) comapred to other combinations by inhibition of free radical DPPH inhibition by 73.6 %.
Furthermore, 75% cranberry and 25% Rhodiola Rosea combination had the highest alpha-glucosidase activity among the combinations.
Alpha-amyloid associated diabetes also was associated with 75% cranberry with 25% Rhodiola Rosea combination comapred to other combinations.
Additionally, anti-ACE-I inhibitory activity against the risk of hypertension was also inhibited by the 75% cranberry with 25% rosemary comapred to other combinations.
In other words, cranberry combined with other herbal medicine protects patients with diabetes and hypertension against complications by inhibiting the levels of alpha-glucosidase, alpha-amyloid, and ACE-I
Based on the results, researchers said, "The analysis of alpha-glucosidase,alpha-amylase, and ACE-I inhibitory activities suggested that inhibition depends on the phenolic profile of each unique extract and by bringing together synergistic combinations to cranberry, health beneficial functionality was enhanced".
Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the management of diabetes and hypertension, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Dietary Patterns in the Risk of Metabolic Syndrome
A dietary pattern is the measurement of the quantity, variety, or combination of different foods and beverage in a diet as well as the frequency of the foods are habitually consumed.
Most common dietary patterns are
* The traditional diet, Wikipedia wrote, "Traditional foods are foods and dishes that are passed through generations or which have been consumed many generations. Traditional foods and dishes are traditional in nature, and may have a historic precedent in a national dish, regional cuisine or local cuisine".
* The Western diet is a standard American diet (SAD) associated with high intakes of red meat, processed meat, pre-packaged and refined foods, fried foods, high-fat dairy products, high salt, and sugar.foods.
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions associated with the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The health problems found in the group include too much fat around the waist, elevated blood pressure, high triglycerides, elevated blood sugar, and low HDL cholesterol.
In other words, if you have 3 of the conditions in the group, your risk of CVD and diabetes are increased substantially compared to those who have less.
According to the statistics, approximately 30% of people in the US are living with metabolic syndrome.
Believe it or not, among US adults aged 18 years or older, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome rose by more than 35% from 1988–1994 to 2007–2012, increasing from 25.3% to 34.2%.
Besides the aforementioned conditions, risks of metabolic syndrome may include age, family history, physical, inactivity, and women with polycystic ovary syndrome, epidemiologically.
As of today, treatment of metabolic syndrome commonly is prescribed medications to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and/or blood sugar with an aim to reduce the risk of developing further health complications and improve quality of life.
On finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of metabolic syndrome, researchers investigated the association between major dietary patterns, including several eating habits.
The cross-sectional study included a total of 425 subjects 35 to 55 y of age, using a food-frequency questionnaire in 5 dietary patterns.
Five major dietary patterns were examined by the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, including
* A western pattern (high in sweets, butter, soda, mayonnaise, sugar, cookies, the tail of a lamb, hydrogenated fat, and eggs),
* A prudent pattern (high in fish, peas, honey, nuts, juice, dry fruits, vegetable oil, liver and organic meat, and coconuts and low in hydrogenated fat and non-leafy vegetables),
* A vegetarian pattern (high in potatoes, legumes, fruits rich in vitamin C, rice, green leafy vegetables, and fruits rich in vitamin A),
* A high-fat dairy pattern (high in high-fat yogurt and high-fat milk and low in low-fat yogurt, peas, and bread), and
* A chicken and plant pattern (high in chicken, fruits rich in vitamin A, green leafy vegetables, and mayonnaise and low in the beef, liver, and organic meat).
Based on the tested differentiation and adjusting to other confounders,
* The western pattern has a strong and negative impact in increasing triacylglycerol and blood pressure.
* The prudent pattern was positively associated a low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels comapred to other dietary patterns.
* However, the vegetarian dietary pattern was inversely associated with a risk of an abnormal fasting blood glucose level.
Collectively, all dietary patterns are associated with positive or negative in increasing or decreasing the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Chaste Tree Berry, the Functional Food for Treatment of Type I and II Diabetes
Chaste tree berry may have a potential in improved pancreatic islet regeneration in reduced risk of development and treatment of Type I and II diabetes, the renowned institute study postulated.
Diabetes is condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream in regulation of glucose. The disease is either caused by cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by an allergic reaction of cells in the immune system.
Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of years as an aphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.
According to the study, diabetes rats induced by streptozotocin treated with extract of chaste tree berry displayed a significant effect in increased volume density of pancreatic islet as well as percentage of β-cells and size of the islet.
Dr. Oche O, the lead researcher said, "plant extracts, (exhibited) regeneration of β-cells along with β-cells repairs, in compared to non-treated diabetic control which showed complete degeneration of the islet cells".
Furthermore, the study also found that the levels of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and unconjugated bilirubin which are associated with diabetes were significantly lower in the treated group in comparison to control.
More important, in D-galactose induces pancreatic disorder along in the aging mouse model, treatment of Vitex agnus-castus (VAC) demonstrated potential pancreatic protective and hypoglycemic effects through improved the size of pancreatic islets decreased in aged and D-galactose groups.
In a total of 72 adult female Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice (weighing 30-35 g) divided into 6 groups of control, VAC hydroalcoholic extract, D-galactose, D-galactose + VAC hydroalcoholic extract, aged, aged + VAC hydroalcoholic extract through subcutaneous injection of D-galactose for 45 days and, VAC hydroalcoholic extract gavaged twice a day in the last 7 days. 24 h after the last drug and extract administrations, group treated with Chaste tree berry extract or combinations of the extract showed increased insulin and decreased serum glucose and in D-galactose level compared to other treatment groups.
The study also found, "Despite the size of pancreatic islets decreased in aged and D-galactose groups, ........... VAC hydroalcoholic extract has hypoglycemic and pancreatic protective effects in natural aged and aging model mice".
In fact, there is also a report indicated that oral administration of once-daily to diabetic rats for the period of 30 days of iridoid glucoside isolated from chaste tree berry may be as effective as glibenclamide, a known hypoglycemic drug, at a concentration of 50 mg/kg b.w.
Promisingly, iridoid glucoside reversed hyperglycemia-induced biochemical changes to near-normal levels.
Collectively, Chaste tree berry may be used as a functional food for the treatment of Type I and Type II diabetes through the hypoglycemic and pancreatic protective effects.

According to the study, diabetes rats induced by streptozotocin treated with extract of chaste tree berry displayed a significant effect in increased volume density of pancreatic islet as well as percentage of β-cells and size of the islet.
Dr. Oche O, the lead researcher said, "plant extracts, (exhibited) regeneration of β-cells along with β-cells repairs, in compared to non-treated diabetic control which showed complete degeneration of the islet cells".
Furthermore, the study also found that the levels of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and unconjugated bilirubin which are associated with diabetes were significantly lower in the treated group in comparison to control.
More important, in D-galactose induces pancreatic disorder along in the aging mouse model, treatment of Vitex agnus-castus (VAC) demonstrated potential pancreatic protective and hypoglycemic effects through improved the size of pancreatic islets decreased in aged and D-galactose groups.
In a total of 72 adult female Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice (weighing 30-35 g) divided into 6 groups of control, VAC hydroalcoholic extract, D-galactose, D-galactose + VAC hydroalcoholic extract, aged, aged + VAC hydroalcoholic extract through subcutaneous injection of D-galactose for 45 days and, VAC hydroalcoholic extract gavaged twice a day in the last 7 days. 24 h after the last drug and extract administrations, group treated with Chaste tree berry extract or combinations of the extract showed increased insulin and decreased serum glucose and in D-galactose level compared to other treatment groups.
The study also found, "Despite the size of pancreatic islets decreased in aged and D-galactose groups, ........... VAC hydroalcoholic extract has hypoglycemic and pancreatic protective effects in natural aged and aging model mice".
In fact, there is also a report indicated that oral administration of once-daily to diabetic rats for the period of 30 days of iridoid glucoside isolated from chaste tree berry may be as effective as glibenclamide, a known hypoglycemic drug, at a concentration of 50 mg/kg b.w.
Promisingly, iridoid glucoside reversed hyperglycemia-induced biochemical changes to near-normal levels.
Collectively, Chaste tree berry may be used as a functional food for the treatment of Type I and Type II diabetes through the hypoglycemic and pancreatic protective effects.

Herbal Cinnamon, The Natural Alternative for Treatment of Infertility, Scientists Say
Scientists may have found a kitchen spice which processes some underline mechanisms in enhancing the rate of fertility, some studies suggested.
Infertility is a condition characterized by the inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse or the cannot carry the pregnancy full term.
The syndrome affects over 5 million couples alone in the US. Because of the unawareness of treatments, only 10% seek help from professionals.
According to the statistic, about 35% of infertility is caused by the male's inability to fertilize. 35% is caused by the female's inability to conceive, 10% attributes to both, and 10 % is considered a failure with an unknown cause.
Dr, Romero Ramos R, in the study [Risk factors associated to female infertility], wrote, "There were 6 factors with statistical significance: advanced age (p < 0.001), elevated body mass index (p < 0.001), age of onset of sexual activity (p < 0.001), prior pelvic surgeries (p < 0.001), and presence of stress (p < 0.001). Other risk factors such as smoking, chemical, and radiological treatments, pelvic inflammatory disease, exercise, contraceptive use, alcohol intake, drugs, coffee, solvents, glue, and insecticides, were not significant".
In male infertility, according to a case-control study conducted by Dr. Buiatti E and colleagues, about coffee and alcohol consumption, smoking habits, x-ray exposure, usual sitting posture, drug consumption, other nonoccupational risk factors, socioeconomic status, education level, and occupational history are some of the prevalent risk factors associated to male infertility.
And, the high relative risk was associated with (a) occupation in the radioelectric industry, (b) non-sedentary clerical workers, (c) clerical work in the typographic industry, and (d) occupation in the textile industry,
Cinnamon, a kitchen spice in many cultures, may be best known for its effectiveness in reducing the levels of blood glucose in diabetics and lipid peroxidation through its antioxidant activity(4).
In a total of 45 women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, randomized, 26 women completed 3 months of the study, and 17 women completed the entire 6 months of the study, researchers showed,
* Application of cinnamon exerts a positive effect in the improvement of menstrual cyclicity associated with luteal phase progesterone levels and ovulatory menses without altering insulin resistance or serum androgen levels
* Cinnamaldehyde, a major chemical compound of cinnamon enhances fertility through selectively induced progesterone production and inhibits the production of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in human adrenal cells.
* Further differentiation, suggested that cinnamon extract not only reduces insulin resistance in vitro and in vivo by increasing phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity with insulin stimulation in the insulin signaling pathway but also improves menstrual cyclicity in female induced PCOs.
Moreover, in the infertile male rat study conducted by Fırat University, long-term cinnamon bark oil(CPO) improved the effect on testicular oxidant-antioxidant balance and sperm quality with significantly decreasing the abnormal sperm rate and apoptotic germ cell count.
Interestingly, in the study to investigate the likelihood of detrimental effects of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4 ) on the male reproductive system through oxidative stress mechanism and also protective effects of cinnamon bark oil (CBO), researchers at the Firat University conducted an experiment including 28 healthy male Wistar rats.
The tested subjects were divided into four groups, seven rats in each. Group 1 received only olive oil daily; group 2 was treated with 100 mg kg(-1) CBO daily; group 3 was treated with only 0.25 ml kg(-1) CCl4 weekly, and group 4 received weekly CCl4 + daily CBO.
All administrations were made by the intragastric catheter and maintained for 10 weeks.
At the final report, researchers suggested that
* CCl4 administration caused significant decreases in body and reproductive organ weights, testicular catalase (CAT) activity, sperm motility and concentration, and significant increases in lipid peroxidation (LPO) level, abnormal sperm rate and apoptotic index along with some histopathological damages compared with the control group.
* Pretreatment of CBO following the administration of CCl4 significant improvements in absolute weights of testis and epididymis, all sperm quality parameters, LPO level, apoptotic index, and testicular histopathological structure Cl4, compared to the group given CCl4 only.
Taken altogether, Cinnamon may be effective in promoting fertility in both sexes through enhancing the menstrual cycle in women and improving sperm performance in men.

Cranberry Protects Your Gum Against Periodontitis
Periodontitis is a serious case of gingivitis associated with gum infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the bone that supports your teeth as a result of long-term poor oral hygiene
Periodontitis is preventable if the progression of gingivitis stages is stopped
Gingivitis is a common and mild form of periodontal disease caused by inflammation of the gingiva, leading to symptoms of irritation, redness, and swelling of the gum that lines the base of the teeth.
Gingivitis dental plaques formed around the base of the teeth are sticky biofilm of bacteria associated with the interaction of the food intake and bacteria in the mouth. Over time, if untreated, the condition can lead to periodontitis and advanced periodontitis.
At this early stage, the bone and connective tissue that hold the teeth in place are not yet affected. The problems can be reversed by more frequent and proper brushing and flossing.
Epidemiologically, risk factors induce the onset of gingivitis are smoking or chewing tobacco. diabetes and long-term use of certain medication including oral contraceptives, steroids, anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers.
Some people under the treatment of chemotherapy may also experience symptoms of gingivitis.
The Colgate Professional in the examined the symptoms advised that if you have experienced some of the symptoms that do not heal themselves in a short time, such as puffy or swollen, or tender, bleeding during brushing or flossing,... and constant bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth, you may have gingivitis.
Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of periodontitis, researchers examined the effect of cranberry and rice extracts as a potent gingipain inhibitor.
Based on the tested analysis, cranberry and rice extracts interfere with gingipain activity that causes the slow down the progression of adult periodontitis.
Furthermore, the extracts prevented the growth and biofilm formation of periodontal pathogens induced the onset of periodontitis.
Moreover, the extracts also inhibited a broad spectrum of host proteases in the induction of undesirable side effects
As of today, the ideal gingipain inhibitor has yet to be discovered, however, cranberry and rice extracts may be a promising gingipain inhibitor comapred to gingipain N-terminal pro domains, synthetic compounds, antibiotics, antiseptics, antibodies, and bacteria which may induce undesirable side effects
The results strongly suggested that cranberry promotes oral health by inhibiting the onset and progression of periodontitis through its anti-bacterial activity
Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of periodontitis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Bromelain Speeds Up Healing of Ecchymosis
Ecchymosis is a discoloration of the skin caused by the bleeding underneath the skin, typically in bruising.
Most cases of ecchymosis are results in which the blood vessels near the surface of the skin burst, particularly in the impact of an injury.
In other words, ecchymosis is associated with blood vessel leaks, and the blood is accumulated under the skin.
The discoloring of the skin is also involved in the clotting factors, that stop the bleeding so that the tissue starts healing.
The progression of ecchymosis is gone through a certain stage from red or purple to black or blue
to brown and to yellow.
Certain medications have been found to induce ecchymosis including:
* Blood thinners, such as aspirin or warfarin
*Antibiotics such as cephalexin, cefaclor, and cefuroxime-axetil can cause ecchymosis by inducing low platelet count
* Corticosteroids
According to the study from the University College Hospital, easy bruising tended to be older (61 vs 52 yrs), on higher daily dosages (1,388 vs 1,067 micrograms), particularly in the long term inhaled corticosteroids users.
Most cases of ecchymosis usually heal on their own within two to three weeks. Most common medications used for the treatment of ecchymosis are pain relievers.
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of ecchymosis, researchers examined the effects of bromelain on ecchymosis postprocedure unwanted effects.
In the reconfirm the effect of bromelain used internationally by physicians on limit ecchymosis secondary to cosmetic, laser, and surgical skin procedures, researchers reviewed the published literature and provide evidence-based recommendations on bromelain for prevention and treatment of postprocedure ecchymosis.
The search on the computerized bibliographic databases Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and CINAHL on March 23, 2015, identified 7 clinical trials that study the effect of oral bromelain in the prevention and/or treatment of postprocedure ecchymosis compared to no studies that use topical bromelain for the treatment of ecchymosis.
Based on the results, 5 out of 7 randomized controlled trials reported improvement postprocedure ecchymosis in the bromelain-treated group.
Taken altogether, bromelain may be considered a remedy for the treatment of postprocedure ecchymosis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of bromelain in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

In order to compare the effect of the combination of fennel extract/vitamin E with ibuprofen on the intensity of pain in primary dysmenorrhea among the students of Tabriz city in 2007-2009, researchers od the joint study lead by the Kosar Department of Shahid Motahhary Hospital carried out an investigation of 68 students from Medical and Tabriz universities, who were living in the dormitory, suffering from primary dysmenorrhea.
All participants were randomly divided into two groups of 34 students each (the two groups used combination of fennel extract/vitamin E and ibuprofen cross-over form in the 2 months).
Application of the combination displayed a mean of peak pain intensity in the first, second, third, sixth, and forty-eight hours in the group was significantly lower than the group that had used ibuprofen.
Also, a combination of fennel extract/vitamin E was more effective than ibuprofen in the first hour (P < 0.03) and second hour (P < 0.04), according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) tool for ranking the intensity of the pain.
These results suggested that fennel and vitamin E combination was more efficacy in blocking the neuron in transmitting pain caused by overexpression prostaglandin hormone in the induction of abdominal muscle constriction in comparison to conventional medicine ibuprofen.
Dr. Nasehi M, the lead author, after taking into account other co and confounders said, "Combination of fennel extract/vitamin E is effective on decreasing the intensity of pain of primary dysmenorrhea, and it is advised to those who cannot use chemical drugs".
In a separate study to investigate the effect of fennel used alone on primary dysmenorrhea symptoms and menorrhea duration, 80 female students satisfied the criteria and guidelines were randomly divided into two groups of intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 40).
The intervention group was given one soft capsule Fennel (30 mg) every 4 hours, 3 days before menstruation till the 5th day, and continued for 3 months. The control group received no medication.
According to the result of the experiments, the fennel treated group exerted a significant decrease of the mean of nausea intensity and weakness from 1.93, and 2.88 after 3 months, in comparison to the control group from 2.37, 6.65 in the control group.
Also in compared to the control group, the fennel group reduced the duration of the menstrual period after two and three months of use.
Moreover, Fennel treated group demonstrated a strong improvement of quality and feelings of well-being after 1 and 3 months.
Taken together, fennel may be considered as a functional food for the treatment of Primary Dysmenorrhea without inducing adverse effects.

Epidemiological studies, linking herbal medicine, foods, and vitamins in preventing and treating these diseases have been inconclusive(a)
Some researchers suggested that the intake of certain herbal medicine may enhance appetite suppression.
According to the Georgetown University Medical Center, the appetite of average daily food intake was decreased only with the herbal formulation, regardless number of single-ingredient in comparison to the effectiveness among herbal formulation and a commonly available(3).

In mice fed with a high-fat diet, ginseng saponin and ginsenosides exerted anti-obesity effects via the modulation of physiological lipid metabolism in vivo or intracellular signaling in cell culture systems and abnormal physiology of leptin, insulin, and adiponectin in energy and lipid metabolism(16).
2. Zingiber Officinale(Ginger
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root is the genus Zingiber, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil, used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.(17).
According to the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Slimax (extract of several plants including Zingiber officinale and Bofutsushosan) showed a significant decrease in body weight or inhibited weight gain(18).
Application of composition of a multi-ingredients supplement containing primarily raspberry ketone, caffeine, capsaicin, garlic, ginger, and Citrus aurantium, also improved body composition, waist and hip girth, in an eight-week diet and exercise weight loss program(19).
In a comparison of the weight loss effect of Orlistat, a pharmacological agent promoting weight loss, injection of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Zingiberacae) in male albino rats induced a great ability to reduce body weight without inhibiting pancreatic lipase level, or affected bilirubin concentration, and increased peroxisomal catalase level and HDL-cholesterol(20).
3. Cissus quadrangularis (CQ)
Cissus quadrangularis is an ancient herb used to treat a variety of indications, belongings to the grape family, probably native to India or Sri Lanka.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design study involving 123 overweight and obese persons (47.2% male; 52.8% female; ages 19-50). conducted by the University of Yaoundé I, Cissus quadrangularis, application of cissus quadrangularis displayed a statistically significant net reduction in weight and central obesity, as well as normalized metabolic syndrome(21).
In a comparison of the efficacy of Cissus quadrangularis-only and Cissusquadrangularis/Irvingia gabonensis combination, on weight loss in overweight and obese human subjects, cissus quadrangularis-only group showed significant reductions on all variables in compared to the placebo group, but lower effects in compared to the cissus quadrangularis/Irvingia gabonensis combination group(22)

Asparagus is a flowering plant belonging to species the genus Asparagus, native to the western coasts of northern Spain, north to Ireland, Great Britain, and northwest Germany, northern Africa, and western Asia, used from early times as a vegetable and medicine, because of its delicate flavor and diuretic properties(26).
Asparagus officinalis L. powder tablets provided 19 mg saponins per day in overweight and obese subjects reduced mean weight, blood pressure, and enhanced physical and emotional well-being and the quality of life with the rate of very good or good in most of the completers(27).
In 12 weeks supplementation of a botanical extract-based weight loss formula, including Asparagus, researchers at the Poznan University of Medical Science indicated that the formula exerts a significant change of the body composition improvement index (BCI), induces greater weight loss than placebo, probably through a concurrently performed exercise program recommended strategy for lifestyle modification(28).

The combined study of a low-calorie diet and Ephera, in 125 otherwise healthy obese women, showed effectively in reducing BMI. RMR change not compensated for by the herbal medicines tried.
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) change seemed to be affected by constitution and body composition rather than by medicine(11). The Dongeui University study of composition GGEx18( Laminaria japonica, Rheum palmatum, and Ephedra sinica) in high fat diet-induced obese mice suggested that GGEx18 improves obesity through skeletal muscle AMPK and AMPK-stimulated expression of PPARα and its target enzymes for fatty acid oxidation, through inhibited lipid accumulation, and similar activation of genes(12).
Please note that due to its adverse reactions of palpitations, stress, headache and insomnia and stroke, heart attacks, cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, and psychotic effect, the FDA banned the product on 2004, the Dutch Inspectorate for Health Care and the Ministry of Health in Canada have recently requested a market recall of some ephedrine-containing herbal products in response to above adverse reactions. In the Netherlands, the status of Ephedra-containing products is currently reconsidered(13)]

Herbal Cranberry, a Potential and Natural Prevention and Treatment of Esophageal Tumor
The esophagus formed part of the digestive system is a muscular tube that connects the throat (pharynx) with the stomach located behind the trachea and heart and in front of the spine.
Cancer is a group of chronic diseases associated with irregular cell growth that start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining tissue of the specific gland and organ before penetrating into deeper layers to form tumors through unlimited cell cycle division.
Over time, most cancers have become progressively worse and spread to other organs in the body via lymph or blood.
Esophageal cancer is not very uncommon in the US caused by malignant cells of the esophagus due to cell DNA alternation.
Primary esophageal cancer has been found to spread to the bottom of the esophagus, stomach, and chest.
According to the statistics, compared to the US, esophageal cancer is more often diagnosed in other parts of the world and the seventh most common cause of cancer death among men.
Believe it or not, every year, the disease causes the death of 16,000 individuals, including 13,000 men and 3,000 women,
Compared to other cancers the 5-year survival rate for people with esophageal cancer is only 19%.
The exact causes of esophageal cancer are unidentified. However, according to the epidemiological studies, aging, male gender, smoking, excessive alcohol drinking, genetic preposition, obesity, thermal injury to the esophagus are some prevalent factors that increase the risk of the disease.
Some researchers suggested that the increased incidences of esophageal cancer in the Western world over the past few decades may be correlated to the promotion of a high-fat diet.
Dr. Silvano Gallus wrote, "Over the last 30 years, the incidence of squamous-cell carcinoma has decreased in several areas of the world, but adenocarcinoma has risen by over fourfold in the US as well as in Australia and several areas of Europe; its incidence has particularly increased in men".
And, " diets high in saturated fat and cholesterol have been associated with an increased risk (of esophageal cancer)".
Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of gastrointestinal tumor, researchers examined the effect of a purified cranberry-derived proanthocyanidin extract (C-PAC) on esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) cell lines, including acid-sensitive JHAD1 and OE33 cells, and esophageal tumor xenografts in athymic NU/NU mice.
According to the tested assays, C-PAC shared a strong activity in inducing the expression of a protein associated with cell death programming mainly in JHAD1 and OE33 cells.
Autophagy that promotes cancer cell growth and anti-apoptosis of JHAD1 and OE33 cells were also inhibited by the injection of C-PAC.
In vitro, C-PAC induced cell death was attributed to deactivation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways expression in the promotion of cancer cellular processes, including cell survival, growth, and differentiation.
Additionally, C-PAC not only inhibited the levels of anti-apoptotic proteins such as BCL-xL, Cytochrome C, PARP), pathways involved in the occurrence and progression of cancer, but also exhibited the expression of proteins that induces cell cycle arrest.
Similarly, in vivo, oral delivery of C-PAC significantly inhibited OE19 tumor xenograft growth as the aforementioned activities.
In other words, in vitro and vivo purified cranberry-derived proanthocyanidin extract (C-PAC) eradicate the esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) cells through several mechanisms involved in pro-apoptosis, anti-anti-apoptosis, and blocking cellular division.
Based on the finding, researchers after taking other factors into account wrote, " C-PAC is a potent inducer of EAC cell death and is efficacious in vivo at non-toxic behaviorally achievable concentrations, holding promise for preventive or therapeutic interventions in cohorts at increased risk for EAC, a rapidly rising and extremely deadly malignancy".
Taken altogether, cranberry extract may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of esophageal cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
