Cranberry in the Promotion of Digestive Health

The digestive system included the gastrointestinal tract, the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder play a critical role to maintain the body normal function by providing nutrients and fluids to the body and remove waste through the secretary system.


Digestion is a process of the digestive system by breaking down food for nutrients through mechanical and enzymatic action.

Gut Microbiota is a community of microorganisms living in the gastrointestinal tract.

Under normal conditions, gut microbiota plays a critical role in overall health, including improving the absorption of the dietary nutrients of the digestive system, protecting the body against xenobiotics and drug toxicity through facilitating the excretion.

Futhermore, the gut microbiota also involved in the maintenance of the structural integrity of the gut mucosal barrier, gut microbiota enhances the epithelial cells with a function to protect the intestine against invasive pathogens and ensure the function of intestinal in nutrients adsorption.

In immunomodulation, gut microbiota interacts with the immune system against inflammatory immune disorders and inhibits the risk of gastrointestinal diseases and non-gastrointestinal diseases caused by overexpression of bad bacteria.

However, imbalanced of the ratio of gut microbiota may have a negative on human health and diseases.

Dr. Yu-Jie Zhang wrote, "Gut bacteria are an important component of the microbiota ecosystem in the human gut, which is colonized by 1014 microbes, ten times more than the human cells. Gut bacteria play an important role in human health, such as supplying essential nutrients, synthesizing vitamin K, aiding in the digestion of cellulose, and promoting angiogenesis and enteric nerve function".

And, "However, they can also be potentially harmful due to the change of their composition when the gut ecosystem undergoes abnormal changes in the light of the use of antibiotics, illness, stress, aging, bad dietary habits, and lifestyle. Dysbiosis of the gut bacteria communities can cause many chronic diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, cancer, and autism".

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 digestive health, researchers examined the effect of Vaccinium berry fruit in modulating gut microbiota function.

According to the tested differentiation, cranberry anthocyanidins only interfered with the colonization of the gut by Escherichia coli in vitro but also attenuated gut barrier dysfunction caused by dietary insults in vivo.

The efficacy of cranberry anthocyanidins in the promotion of gut microbiota in the flavor of the good bacterias was attributed by the synergic activity between these proanthocyanidins, other cranberry components such as isoprenoids and xyloglucans.

Furthermore, cranberry constituents and their bioactive catabolites also have a strong effect on bacterial adhesion, coaggregation, and biofilm formation that may contribute clinical benefits on gastrointestinal and urinary tract infections,

Additionally, cranberry constituents and their bioactive catabolites also processed strong anti-inflammatory actions by mediating the gut microbiome.

Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the improvement of the digestive health, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Chaste Tree Berry Expressed Various Mechanisms in Inhibition of Leukemia

Oral Administrated ripe fruit of Vitex agnus-castus (Vitex) may reduce the risk of various types of solid tumor cells, particularly leukemia.

Leukemia is a condition of abnormal increase of white blood cells produced by the bone marrow and/or the lymphatic system. Depending on the malignant granulocytes or lymphocytes, leukemia is classified into myelogenous or lymphoblastic leukemia.

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 year as anaphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.

According to the Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences, casticin,, the major chemical compound found in extract from the ripe fruit of Vitex agnus-castus (Vitex) exhibited strong cytotoxic activities against on leukemia cell lines, HL-60 and U-937 in dose depending manner.


Additionally, the study also expressed an interest result as the levels of cytotoxicity of Vitex/casticin were largely attributed to the degree of differentiation of leukemia cells depending to cancer cell line maturity. in compared to the HL-60 cell line with less mature U-937 cell line.


Dr. Kikuchi H, the lead author said, "casticin accounted for approximate 1% weight of Vitex. Dose-dependent cytotoxicity of Vitex and casticin was observed in both cell lines, and HL-60 cells were more sensitive to the cytotoxicity of Vitex/casticin compared to U-937 cells".

In further study, casticin, also displayed a sigmificant anti leukemia activity cells through expression molecular mechanism. apoptosis and cell cycle arrest observed through different assays.


The application of casticin yielded a result of cancer cell death at 75.3% at 12 in G2 phase in tumor cells cycle division, increased and subsequently declined to 27% at 48 h which was an indication of leukemic cell death via apoptosis and mitotic catastrophe.


Other study in support to the above differentiation, suggested that the extract from the ripe fruit of Vitex angus-castus (Vitex), inhibited the leukemia cell lines probably due to other mechanism such as significant decrease levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and level of gp91(phox), an important component of NADPH oxidase, in production of oxidation, and mediated cytotoxicity in HL-60 cells by regulating ROS generation...


Taking together, Chaste tree berry has a significant implication in reduced risk and treatment of leukemia through number of mechanisms, but intake of large amount should be taken with care to prevent toxicity.

Turmeric Protects the Nerves Against the Onset of Diabetic Neuropathy

Diabetic neuropathy is a complication of patients with diabetes associated with nerve damage, ranging from pain and numbness in your legs and feet to problems with your digestive system.

Most cases of diabetic neuropathy are involved in diabetics who have a history of hyperglycemia caused by long-term high levels of glucose in the bloodstream, urinary tract, blood vessels, and heart.


Diabetic neuropathy can be classified into 4 main types, including.

* Peripheral neuropathy is the most common type of diabetic neuropathy, affecting the nerves that control the feet and legs first, followed by the hands and arms.

* The autonomic neuropathy that affects the nerves that control the heart, bladder, stomach, intestines, sex organs, and eyes.

* Radiculoplexus neuropathy found mostly in older patients affects nerves that control the thighs, hips, buttocks, or legs.

* Mononeuropathy, or focal neuropathy also found commonly in older patients affects the nerves that control the face, middle of the body (torso) or leg.

The exact causes of diabetic neuropathy are totally depending on the type of neuropathy. However, damage of nerves and blood vessels in the affected area has been found to induce by overtime, uncontrolled high blood sugar.

In other words, diabetic neuropathy is preventable by keeping the blood glucose in the healthy range.

Dr. Michael Greger M.D. FACLM in the article "the best diet for diabetic neuropathy" wrote, "
(By examing) people eating different diets found that nine months or more on a strict plant-based diet appeared to remove the trans fat from their bodies (or at least their butts). Their pain, however, didn’t take nine months to get better—it got better in days".

In the explanation of the results, the researcher continued, "More likely, it was due to an improvement in blood flow. “[N]erve biopsies in diabetics with severe progressive neuropathy…have shown small vessel disease within the nerve. There are blood vessels within our nerves that can get clogged up too. The oxygen levels in the nerves of diabetics were found to be lower than even the levels of oxygenated blood".

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
In the urgency to find a potential ingredient for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy researchers examined the turmeric antioxidant property, anti-inflammatory, CNS depressant effect, antibacterial and antifungal property.

According to the results of the experiment, turmeric inhibited the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy by improving the antioxidant in the reduction of the level of oxidative stress associated with the occurrence of the present complication.

Furthermore, turmeric also enhanced the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity against the spread of infection.

In other words, turmeric inhibited diabetic neuropathy through a number of mechanisms involved in the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity.

In order to review more information about turmeric effect, researchers investigated Nishamalaki (NA), a combination of Curcuma longa and Emblica officinalis in the prevention of diabetic neuropathy.

The study included diabetic neuropathy in type 2 diabetic Wistar rats under treatment of 12 weeks.

Selected rats were randomly divided into group I (Control) vehicle-treated consists of 6 rats and
group II-VII Diabetic Control, NA low dose, NA High dose, Glibenclamide, Pioglitazone and Epalrestat respectively.

Diabetes-induced in 36 Wistar rats with Streptozotocin (STZ) (35mg/kg) intraperitoneally followed by High Fat High Fructose diet. After confirmation of the development of diabetes; rats divided into six groups as the aforementioned division.

Compared to other treatment groups, Nishamalaki (NA) not only controlled hyperglycemia and reduced lipid levels but also effectively prevented the development of diabetic neuropathy.

Taken altogether, turmeric used alone or combined with other herbal medicine may be considered supplements for the prevention of diabetic neuropathy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of turmeric in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Dandelion(Taraxacum officinale) Treatment of Intestinal Metaplasia (IM) and Atypical Hyperplasia (AH)

The stomach located between the esophagus and the small intestine is a muscular, hollow and important organ of the digestive tract.

The stomach plays a critical role in aiding the digestive system by secreting acid and enzymes that digest food induced by the stomach muscles that contract periodically, to churn the food and enhance digestion.

Atypical hyperplasia is a precancerous condition characterized by the accumulation of abnormal cells.

Intestinal metaplasia is a pre gastric cancer condition caused by the change of cells in the stomach.

The exact causes of the condition are unknown. However, some researchers suggested that smoking and infection caused by H. pylori infection, genetic preposition, and environmental factors are some risk factors associated with the onset of intestinal metaplasia.

Gastric cancer is a medical condition characterized by irregular and uncontrollable cell growth in the stomach lining in the beginning. At the advanced stage, the malignant cells can travel a distance away through blood and fluid circulation to infect other healthy tissue and organs.

Researchers do not know why some people with the same health condition are susceptible to the risk of gastric cancer, while others do not. The exact causes of gastric cancer are also unknown. However, some researchers suggested that Age, diet, and stomach disease, such as can increase the risk of developing gastric cancer.

Both atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer share the common symptoms of stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite,... and indigestion. However, common symptoms of unexpected weight loss and stomach ulcers can only be found in gastric cancer while iron deficiency anemia is found in the majority of patients with atrophic gastritis.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2019, approximately, 27,510 cases of stomach cancer will be diagnosed (17,230 in men and 10,280 in women) and 11,140 people will die from gastric cancer (6,800 men and 4,340 women).

Overall, the 5-year survival rate for people with gastric cancer is 31%. Cancer diagnosed at the localized stage have a 5 years survival rate of 67%.

Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver, and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of gastric diseases, scientists examined the efficacy of Xiao Wei Yan Powder (XWYP) decoction on intestinal metaplasia (IM) and 104 cases of atypical hyperplasia (AH).

Where XWYP is a traditional Chinese Medicine formula containing Smilax glabrate, Hedyotis diffusae, Taraxacum mongolicum, Caesalpinia sappan, Paeonia alba, Cyperus rotundus, Bletilla striata, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, etc.

According to the results of 138 cases of intestinal metaplasia (IM) and 104 cases of atypical hyperplasia (AH) of the gastric mucosa of chronic gastritis that was treated by Xiao Wei Yan Powder (XWYP) orally 5-7g, for a period from 2-4 months, compared to control, the decoction showed a significant effect rate of IM was 91.3% and that of the AH was 92.16% compared to the control group of 21.3% and 14.46% respectively.

More precisely, XWYP not only had marked therapeutic effects for IM and AH but also showed no toxic effects in the animal experiments revealed no toxic effect,

These results strongly suggested that a safety guarantee was provided for its clinical application.

Taken altogether, Dandelion in a combination with other Chinese medicines may be considered a remedy for the treatment of intestinal metaplasia and atypical hyperplasia (AH), pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Angelica Sinensis, the Natural Depressant Remedy

Depression is a common and serious psychological illness, affecting the physical and mental functions of patients, including the ways patients feel, think and act.

Some patients with depression may feel sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed.


There are many causes associated with the onset of depression, including genetics, changes in hormone levels, certain medical conditions, stress, grief or difficult life circumstances that initiate the change of brain chemistry in inducing depressive syndrome.

The most common symptoms of depression include sadness, hopelessness, guilt, change of mood, loss of interest in friends, family, favorite activities, and sex.

Some patients with depression also experience cognitive symptoms of trouble concentrating, making decisions, remembering, and thoughts of harming themselves.

Readers may find other symptoms not be included in the article including behavior and physical symptoms.

Over 30 million Americans suffer from depression and the amount is increasing at an alarming rate. Depression may be a mental health disorder that can affect the way you eat, sleep, and the way you feel about yourself.

According to the statistics provided by the Anxiety and Depression of Association of American, major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. for ages 15 to 44.3, affecting more than 16.1 million American adults, or about 6.7% of the U.S. population age 18 and older.

The mild case of depression can be defeated by a variety of self-care techniques. Others require the treatment of medication, such as antidepressant medications and psychotherapy that help to reduce and sometimes eliminate the symptoms of depression.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders, scientists examined the effects of Xiaoyaosan (XYS), a famous and classic traditional Chinese prescription on depressive disorders.

Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.

The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.

In a total of 17 depressed patients and the 17 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects as the primary cohort, depressed patients were screened according to the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorder (CCMD-3) and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD).

According to the results of experience,* There were significant differences between depression cohort and healthy volunteers, and between patients before and after the treatment of XYS.


* Furthermore, XYS enhanced the levels of oxalic and stearic acids that significantly increased in depressed patients' plasma while valine and urea significantly decreased, as compared with healthy controls.

* XYS reversed these metabolite changes in terms of regulating dysfunctions in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis, valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis, and arginine and proline metabolism.

Taken altogether, angelica sinensis may be considered a remedy to treat depression, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Angelica Protects the Neurons Against Neuro-Inflammation in Vitro

The central system is the complex of nerve tissues including the brain and spinal cord with functions to respond to the integrating sensory information.

Neuroinflammation is a process of the immune system that responds to harmful pathogens that induced oxidative stress to the brain.

Neuroinflammation is also the inflammation of nervous tissue associated with the immune response in the first phase of infection including infection, traumatic brain injury, toxic metabolites, or autoimmunity.

There many risk factors associated with the onset of neuroinflammation similar to other tissues inflammation, including infection, traumatic brain injury, toxic metabolites, or autoimmunity.

Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system in which the macrophages of the first defense stimulates the production of blood palette to cover the wound in case of injury and production of proinflammatory cytokines to the site of infection to fence off the foreign pathogens.

Inflammation also can be triggered by the immune mistakenly attacked the body tissues in cases of autoimmune disease.

The neuroinflammatory disease can be acute or chronic. Chronic neuroinflammation that leads to the activation of glial cells and the recruitment of inflammatory cytokines into the brain is found to associate with neurodegenerative diseases.

Most cases of the neuroinflammatory disease associated with the loss of neuronal structure and function.can be measured by the typical inflammatory markers, including CSF Aβ1-42, tau and p-tau181, and a panel of 37 neuroinflammatory markers in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders, scientists examined the effects of dangguishaoyao-san (DSS) (Angelica sinensis, Paeoniae radix, Rhizoma Ligusticum, Poria cocos, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, and Rhizoma Alismatis) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells.
Angelica or Danggui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.

The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen the heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.

According to the results of BV-2 cells pretreated with 0.58-1.16 mg/mL of DSS for 2 h and then treated with 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 h,
* DSS treatment at concentrations of 0.58-1.16 mg/mL did not induce significant cytotoxicity.

* DSS attenuated the release of pro-inflammatory factors, such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), iNOS and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in LPS-induced BV-2 cells.

* DSS attenuated the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TLR2, and TLR4 by decreasing TLR4 and TLR protein levels and decreased levels of phosphorylation of IκB which regulates the cellular response to inflammation in LPS-induced BV-2 cells.

* DSS also down-regulated the nuclear translocation of p65 in the initiation of cancer cell proliferation and survival.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, " DSS has a protective effect on neuroinflammation in LPS-induced BV-2 microglial cells through the TLRs/NF-κB signaling pathway".


Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered an antioxidant remedy for the treatment of neuroinflammation, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cranberry Inhibits Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1, 2) Infection

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) primarily causes oral herpes, including cold sores and fever blisters around the mouth and on the face.

Herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) primarily causes genital herpes and genital herpes outbreaks

Infection can be acute or chronic. In the acute phase of infection, after receiving the messages from the central nervous system related to the danger of microbial infection, the immune macrophages in the first line of defense stimulates the production of blood palette to the cover the wound and pro-inflammatory cytokines to the site of the infection to kill off pathogens which try to enter the body.

However, overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the acute phase of infection has also killed off or damage to the nearby healthy cells, leading to the formation of scars.

In most cases in a healthy individual, the immune system can easily eradicate all foreign invaders and the wound is recovered within days and weeks.

Symptoms of the acute infection include gastrointestinal discomforts, such as congestion vomiting or nausea, and diarrhea, short term joint or muscle pain, fever, headache, skin rash and cough, Some patients with acute infection also experience symptoms of swollen lymph nodes, an indication of the body is fighting infection.

In chronic infection, the symptoms are most vague or no specific symptoms, including bronchitis and asthma, persistent low-grade chronic joint and muscle pain, or swelling and the alternations between diarrhea and constipation, bloating, or heartburn, In other words, the symptoms are totally depended on the location of the low-grade inflammation.

Most cases of infection except those of viral infection are treated by topical antibiotic cream and/or oral antibiotics.

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 skin infection, researchers investigated the effects of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) extracts Oximacro(®) against Herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) infections.

In vitro, the novel cranberry extract Oximacro(®) and its purified A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs-A) inhibited HSV-1 and HSV-2 replication.

Furthermore, Oximacro(®) prevented the adsorption of HSV-1 and HSV-2 to target cells.

Moreover, Oximacro(®) and its PACs-A targeted the viral envelope glycoproteins gD and gB to enter cells, thus resulting in the loss of infectivity of HSV particles.


Most importantly, Oximacro(®) completely exerted continuously its anti-HSV activity even at acidic pHs (3.0 and 4.0) and in the presence of 10% human serum proteins, and conditions that mimic the physiological properties of the vagina.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "Oximacro(®) as an attractive candidate for the development of novel microbicides of natural origin for the prevention of HSV infections".

Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered an immune-modulatory remedy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

The Herbal Medicines that Treat Unspecific Low Back Pain

Low back pain is a musculoskeletal disorder (MSDs) of degenerative disc disease, with pain persisted for longer than 3 months, affecting over 80% of the population in the US alone some points in their life.

Chronic LBP prevalence in older adults was significantly higher than the 21-to-44-year age group and inflicted more disabled, longer symptom duration, etc.(2). The unique impact of CLBP is unknown(3).

Acute lower back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder (MSDs) caused by injury to the muscles, ligaments, joints, or discs that last less than a few months.

Chronic lower back pain that lasts longer than 6 months, normally caused by damage of nerves in the low back which supplies sensation and power the muscles in the pelvis, legs, and feet.

According to the statistics, up to 80% of the population will experience back pain at some time in their lives. The condition affects people of all ages, particularly in occupations required the use of muscles of the lower back often.

Worldwide, years lived with a disability caused by low back pain have increased by 54% between 1990 and 2015.

Depending on the severity of the condition, chronic lower back pain can induce symptoms of numbness, tingling, or weakness in one or both legs and intense, constant pain that gets worse at night.

Some people with chronic lower back pain may also experience symptoms of loss of bowel or bladder control and unexplained weight loss.

According to the statistics, the lifetime prevalence of non-specific (common) low back pain is estimated at 60% to 70% in industrialized countries with a one-year prevalent rate ranging from 15% to 45%. The adult incidence of lower back pain is 5% per year.

Comfrey is a perennial plant in the genus of Symphytum, belonging to the family Boraginaceae, native to Europe. It has been used in herbal and traditional medicine to ease excessive bleeding or on open wounds, relief pain and swollen, treat circulation issues, reduce cholesterol, etc.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of diseases associated with neuro and muscle pain, researchers examined the effectiveness of herbal medicine, including comfrey for nonspecific low back pain (LBP).

A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involved in the searching of studies published on numerous electronic databases up to September 2014 found 14 RCTs with 2050 participants/

Capsicum frutescens (cayenne) reduces pain more than placebo.

Although Harpagophytum procumbens (devil's claw), Salix alba (white willow bark), Symphytum officinale L. (comfrey), Solidago chilensis (Brazilian arnica), and Lavender essential oil also seem to reduce pain more than placebo, evidence for these substances was of moderate quality at best.


All tested herbal medicine herbal showed no significant adverse events within the included trials.
Taken altogether, Comfrey and other herbal medicine may be considered a remedy for the treatment of unspecific low back pain, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Bromelain Ameliorates Endometrial Pain


Endometriosis is a medical condition caused by the tissue of the endometrium that grows outside the uterus, leading to severe abnormal pain.

Most cases of endometriosis are found to involve the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining the pelvis.


Some researchers suggested the cause of endometriosis is a result of a layer of endometriosis lining on the inside of the uterus is expelled, instead, some of the endometriosis tissues grow somewhere in the body in the last stage menstrual cycle (menstruation).


Endometriosis also reacts to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating, according to the stage of the menstrual period. Since they grow in somewhere other than in the uterus when they break, the period blood has no way to exit, causing blood attaching to the organs or lining of the abdomen, resulting in scars or adhesion as well as weakening the normal function of organs.

According to statistics, endometriosis affects
a) About 20% of reproductive-age women with endometriosis present but without symptoms.

b) About 55% of women who have developed the new onset of severe menstrual cramps.

c) About 25% of women with sub-fertility (less fertile than a normal couple)

Endometriosis can vary in appearance. It may be clear or white, reddish, brown or blue-black, and cysts. The condition can be classified according to the stage of severity:
* Minimal stage:
The top surface, few in number. Commonly they are found in the inside wall of the uterus, ligaments, and ovary.

* Mild stage:
Deeper implants, greater numbers are presented. Commonly found in the same area as a minimal stage.

* Moderate stage:
Many implants, endometrial cysts present, affecting ovary function, causing scar tissues and adhesion is also present.

* Severe stage:
Intensive peritoneal implants, large endometriomas present, and dense adhesion.
Each woman experiences differently from endometriosis. Some women may have extensive endometrial tissues in their body but feel little or no pain, while other women may only be in the early stage of endometriosis but have excessive pain.



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 ingredient for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain, researchers evaluated the antioxidant activity of a preparation containing N-acetyl cysteine, alpha lipoic acid, and bromelain.

The multicenter, open-label, non-comparative clinical trial included a sample of 398 patients with a mean age of 34.6 ± 7.2 years with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain.

According to the results of a combination of N-acetyl cysteine, alpha-lipoic acid and bromelain treatment after 6 months, in comparison of 92.7% of the patients with pain intensity > 4 on the visual analogue scale (VAS) at the baseline, the percentage was decreased to 87.2% (p = 0.074) at 3 months of treatment.

Also compared to the baseline, the percentage decreased even more at 82.7% (p < 0.05) at the 6 months treatment.

More importantly, the use of medicine for pain relief also was also reduced upon the application of the combination, according to the results of the experiment.

Dr. Lete I, the lead scientist said at the final report, "Women with endometriosis who wish to become pregnant and are treated with a preparation containing N-acetyl cysteine, alpha lipoic acid and bromelain experienced a significant improvement in endometriosis-associated pelvic pain and required lower intake of rescue analgesics".

Taken altogether, bromelain used alone or combined with other remedies may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of endometrial pain, 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.

Bromelain Promotes Enzyme and Evokes Antibodies Against the Progression of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a chronic condition characterized by the irregular cell in the lung tissues caused by the alternation of cells DNA.

The lung is a vital organ of the human being, located near the backbone on either side of the heart with functions of inhaling oxygen from the air then transporting them to the bloodstream and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.

According to the statistics, in the US, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths. In n 2007. lung caused the death of 158,683 Americans, including 88,329 men and 70,354 women i


There are several types of lung cancer including
1. Non-small cell lung cancer
Non-small cell lung cancer, the most common type of lung cancer grown and spread methodically and predictably, includes
* Squamous-cell carcinoma often found in an outer area of the lung.

*Large-cell carcinoma found in the center of the lung by an air tube.

* Adenocarcinoma found in any part of the lung.

2. Small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer is an aggressive type of lung cancer. The cells of small cell cancer have been found to spread to distant parts of the body in a relatively early stage.
* Small cell carcinoma in which the cells are small, round and resemble oats.

* Mixed small cell/large cell carcinoma, the malignant tumor is found in combining components of small cell lung carcinoma with large cell lung carcinoma.

* Combined small cell carcinoma, the malignant tumor is found in combining of a component of small cell lung carcinoma with components of non-small cell lung carcinoma


Out of many risk factors associated with the onset of lung cancer, some researchers suggested smokers are at substantial risk of the disease.

Dr. Ozlü T the lead scientist wrote, "It is estimated that deaths attributable to tobacco use will rise to 10 million by 2025, and one-third of all adult deaths are expected to be related to cigarette smoking".

And, "Tobacco use has been reported to be the main cause of 90% of male and 79% of female lung cancers. 90% of deaths from lung cancer are estimated to be due to smoking. The risk of lung cancer development is 20-40 times higher in lifelong smokers compared to non-smokers".

The results strongly suggested that if you are a smoker, your risk of lung cancer developing is rocketing.

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 natural ingredient against lung cancer, researchers examined the effects of the antitumor effect of fastuosain, a cysteine proteinase from Bromelia fastuosa on the intravenous model of lung colonization in C57Bl/6 mice.

According to the tested assays, fastuosain showed reduced expression of the marker of cancer progression (CD44) and decreased invasion by inhibiting cancer cell communication and inflammation in tumor cells.


Furthermore, fastuosain also induced cancer apoptosis by blocking the function enzymes associated with cell proliferation.

Interestingly, in green fluorescent protein-chimeric animals, treatment with fastuosain did not change the number of cells that migrated to the lung, compared to PBS-injected control mice, but the number of positive major histocompatibility complex class II cells associated with antigens was increased significantly.

In other words, fastuosain anti-lung cancer activity is mainly involved in the direct effect of the enzyme and elicitation of protective antibodies.

Taken altogether, bromelain may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer, 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.

Fennel May Improve Your Heart Functioning Naturally and Permanently, Studies Showed

Fennel may have a potential and positive effect in improvement of cardiovascular activity, some scientists suggested.

The results of vascular and cardiovascular protective effect were reported by numbers of universities including the Birzeit University and published on online medical literature.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of genus, belongings to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean, used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...

In the study to investigate the vascular effects of aqueous extracts of Foeniculum vulgare leaves in pentobarbital-anaesthetised rats, researchers found that intravenous administration of the lyophilized boiled water extract exerted a significant dose-related reduction in arterial blood pressure, without affecting the heart rate or respiratory rate in compared to histamine antagonists.

However, the application of non-boiled aqueous extract showed very little hypotensive activity.

In contrast to the conventional medicine histamine antagonists, the hypotensive effect of the boiling water extract appeared not to be mediated by adrenergic, muscarinic, ganglionic, or serotonergic receptors.


Furthermore, in the examine the cardiovascular effect of the main component of the oil, anethole isolated from on tested guinea pig fennel oil in inhibited arachidonic acid, collagen-, ADP- and U46619-induced aggregation, researchers found that application of anethole displayed comparable NO-independent vasorelaxant activity at antiplatelet concentrations.

Anethole also prevented thrombin-induced clot retraction at concentrations similar to fennel oil in comparison of U46619-induced aggregation (IC(50) from 4 to 147 microg ml(-1)). These results were confirmed in tested mice with application F. Vulgare essential oil and anethole in a subacute treatment of 30 mg kg(-1)day(-1) for 5 days.


F. Vulgare essential oil and anethole also showed significant antithrombotic activity in prevented paralysis induced by collagen-epinephrine intravenous injection with 70% and 83% protection, respectively.

In the rat model, both F. Vulgare essential oil and anethole (100 mg kg(-1) oral administration) provided significant protection toward ethanol-induced gastric lesions.

After taking into account of other co and confounders, togther with the collected information Dr. Tognolini M, the lead author said, " F. vulgare essential oil, and its main component anethole, a safe antithrombotic activity that seems due to their broad spectrum antiplatelet activity, clot destabilizing effect, and vasorelaxant action".


Further to reassess other cardiovascular activity of Foeniculum vulgare L, researchers at the UFR Physiologie-Pharmacologie, launched an investigation to compare the effects of Marrubium vulgare L. and Foeniculum vulgare L. in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).

Interestingly, the oral application of Foeniculum extract exerted lowered the systolic blood pressure of SHR without induced change of normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY).

These results were probably associated with to function of Foeniculum in increased water, sodium, and potassium excretion.

More importantly, Foeniculum extract hypertensive efficacy was decreased substantially in rat and mice presented with N-nitro-L-arginine.


The results indicated that fennel demonstrated the vascular protective activity as a diuretic and a natriuretic.

Taken together, Fennel and its essential oil and bioactive compound anethole may be considered as a function substance in promoting cardiovascular and vascular activity, particularly in animal models with a high risk of cardiovascular disease.


Intake of fennel extract should be taken with extreme care as overdoses may induce liver toxicity.

Herbal Angelica Sinensis, A Potential Anti Weight Gain Remedy

Obesity is a medical condition caused by excess body fat accumulated to some extent that impacts personal health. The hallmark of obesity is attenuated metabolism and structural cell changes in the obese fat observed by reducing metabolic activity.

According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), people who have a BMI between 25 to 29.9 are considered overweight and a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity.

The formula of the BMI indexBMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

According to the statistic, 68% of the American population is either overweight or obese. However,
in 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight, including over 650 million were obese worldwide.

Visceral fat obesity is associated with 90% of patients with ischemic heart disease. In obese, the accumulation of visceral fat is predominant in the intra-abdominal cavity.

Visceral fat is a layer of fat that surrounds the organs. Overexpression of visceral fat has been found to promote insulin resistance, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation.

However, in non-obese subjects, visceral fat accumulation is correlated with glucose intolerance, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.

Obesity rates have increased for all age groups in the US over the last several decades, coincidently with the periods that promoted the Western diet.

Weight gain is an increase in body weight associated with some parameters, including increased muscle mass, fat deposits, excess fluids such as water, or other factors.


However, weight gain has also been found to be induced by serious medical conditions.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of obesity, scientists examined the radix Angelica sinensis (RAS) suppressed body weight by altering the expression of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene in an animal model.
Angelica or Dang Gui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.

The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.

According to tested analysis in mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity,
* 36 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) associated with the increased onset of obesity were found in adipose tissues from the RAS supplementation group (DH) and control group (HC).


* Six out of the 36 DEGs identified to be involved in lipid metabolism, with the APOA2 gene a potential anti-obesogenic influence were inhibited by the injection of RAS compared to control.

In other words, RAS supplementation in HFD-induced obese mice was associated with an anti-obesogenic global transcriptomic response.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, "This study provides insight into potential applications of RAS in obesity therapy".


Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered a remedy for the treatment of weight gain in obese, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cranberry, the Best in the Management of Obesity, Researchers Say

Obesity is a chronic condition characterized by excess body fat that has accumulated over time. People with a BMI of over 30 is considered obese.

Similarly, overweight is a condition of excess body weight relative to height. People with a BMI ranged from 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight.

According to the statistics, over 30 % of the American population is obese. Obesity has been found to induce adverse effects on nearly every system of the human body, leading to an increased risk of numerous diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Furthermore, the rate of obesity in the US and Canada continues to climb at an alarming rate, leading to significant burdens to the country's economy and health care system.

Epidemiologically, the most common symptoms of obesity are breathlessness, increased sweating, inability to cope with physical activity, feeling very tired every day, back and joint pains, low confidence, and self-esteem and feeling isolation

According to the CDC, the most common complications associated with obesity are coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer of breast, colon, endometrial, gallbladder, kidney, and liver and sleep apnea.

Currently, there is no effective treatment of the disease. However, some researchers suggested that combat the powerful environmental factors that influence eating and physical activity may be the best approach to reduce the risk of obesity.

Dr. EunSeok Cha, the lead scientist wrote, "Obesity among young adults is a growing problem in the United States and is related to unhealthy lifestyle habits such as high caloric intake and inadequate exercise. Accurate assessment of lifestyle habits across obesity stages is important for informing age-specific intervention strategies to prevent and reduce obesity progression".

And, "Overweight and obese young adults can promote their cardiometabolic health with healthy lifestyles. To take action, young adults need practical and strategic dietary advice about beverage choices, diet quality, and macronutrient and micronutrient sources. In addition, increasing overall activity and minimizing sedentary behavior needs to be emphasized for young adults to achieve physical activity goals.".

In other words, by changing to a healthy lifestyle such as a healthy diet and moderate exercise, over a long-term obese is controllable.

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 diseases associated with oxidative stress, researchers investigated the anti-adipogenic effect of the polyphenol-rich extract obtained from chokeberry Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliot, raspberry Rubus idaeus L., bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus L., and cranberry Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton fruits.

According to the results from the analysis, the preparations ranged from 25-100 μg/mL not only significantly decreased lipid accumulation but also inhibited the expression of reactive oxygen species in the adipocytes without showing cytotoxicity.

The Real-time PCR analysis also revealed that the extract at a concentration of 100 μg/mL suppressed the process of cell differentiation of adipogenesis and lipogenesis that converts triglyceride for storage in fat via inhibiting the gene expression (PPARγ) of energy metabolism and genes associated with adipogenesis (C/EBPα) and lipogenesis (SREBP1).

In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, the expression of adiponectin involved in regulating glucose levels as well as fatty acid breakdown was increased by 4.4 fold whereas hormone leptin found in high levels of obese subjects was decreased by 90% by the extracts.

Based on the findings, researchers said, " the analyzed extract may be a promising source of bioactive compounds that support long-term weight maintenance and promote the effective management of obesity".

Taken altogether, cranberry combined with other herbal medicine may be considered a remedy for the management of obesity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Bilberry Effects On Locomotion In Patients with Neurodegenerative Disease

Locomotion is the ability to move from place to the other. In humans, locomotion controlled by the cerebellum is a complex process that requires the integration of central and peripheral nervous signaling coordinated by the muscles.

In other words, every time you move any part of the body, the cerebellum fires into action.

Damage of the cerebellum of the brain has been found to induce difficulty with balance, coordination, and fine motor skills in patients.


Besides neurodegenerative diseases, alcohol abuse, certain medications, stroke, tumor, cerebral palsy, brain degeneration, and multiple sclerosis are the most common risk factors which can affect the brain locomotion control.

In conventional medicine, depending on the causes that affect the locomotion, adaptive devices may be introduced to maintain independence. Other therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy with moderate exercise have been found to be helpful.

Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.

The plant berry 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.

On finding a potential compound for the improvement of locomotion in patients with neurodegenerative disease, researchers examined the possible effects of prolonged administration of lyophilized Vaccinium berries (blueberry, bilberry) on cognitive performance against the incidence of degenerative disorders.

Mice selected to the study were observed by step-down inhibitory avoidance, open field, elevated plus-maze, and radial maze tasks. The lyophilized berries were administered for 30 days before the first training.

According to the tested assays, lyophilized berries significantly enhanced locomotion by increasing the number of crossings in the first exposure to the open field.

Additionally, short term treatment with lyophilized berries also improves rat performance on the elevated plus-maze task.

In other words, lyophilized berries inhibited the neuro deficits associated with inactivity behavior such as anxiety.


Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compound anthocyanoside may be considered a functioning remedy for the improvement of locomotion in patients with neurodegenerative diseases, pending to the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Bilberry Protects Us Against Diseases Associated with Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress occurs when the ratio of the levels of free radicals and antioxidants is imbalanced. In other words, oxidative stress is a result caused by either overexpression of free radicals or depletion of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host.

Free radicals are an unstable atom with a lone electron in the outer ring. Therefore, in order to become stable, free radicals must steal or donate an electron from other stable atoms, leading to a chain reaction which is highly reactive that can be stopped until all single electron is paired or inhibited by antioxidants.

Antioxidants are stable atoms which inhibit oxidation.

Free radical exists in and outside our body. Externally, the air we breathe, the food we eat and environmental toxins and internally, the cell's metabolism, all contribute to the production of free radicals.

On the other hand, antioxidants can either be produced by the body internally or induced by the consumption of antioxidant-rich externally.

Under normal conditions, in a healthy individual, the production of antioxidant enzymes by the body is more than enough to counter the levels of free radicals in the body. However, for people with a weakened immune system or immature immune system, the intake of dietary sources of antioxidant-rich foods may be necessary.

Maintaining the healthy levels of antioxidants in the body is the best way to prevent diseases associated with oxidative stress, including atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetics, rheumatoid arthritis.

Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.

The plant berry 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.

In the urgency to discover a bioactive compound for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, researchers examined the anti-adipogenic effect of the polyphenol-rich extract obtained from chokeberry Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliot, raspberry Rubus idaeus L., bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus L., and cranberry Vacciniummacrocarpon Aiton fruits.

According to the tested assays, treatment with the extract (25-100 μg/mL) significantly decreased lipid accumulation and reactive oxygen species generation in adipocytes without showing cytotoxicity.

The extract at a concentration of 100 μg/mL suppressed adipogenesis and lipogenesis by inhibiting the receptors involved gene expression.

Moreover, the extract also exerted the anti-adipogenic effect by a significant increase in the expression of adiponectin (4.4-fold) and decreased leptin expression (90%) made by adipose cells.


In the study to investigate the antihyperglycemic effects of four extracts obtained from leaves and fruits of Vaccinium myrtillus and Vacciniumcorymbosum in diabetic rats randomly divided into seven equal groups: NC-normal control, DC-diabetic control, PC-positive control treated with metformin, VML-received V. myrtillus leaf extract, VMLF-received VML, and fruit extract, VCL-received V. corymbosum leaf extract, and VCLF-received VCL and fruit extract, researchers found that according to the Bodyweight and glucose levels monitored every second week and after 8 weeks of treatment, serum glucose, insulin, and malondialdehyde measurement

* VML treated group showed no significant decrease in weight compared to a decrease in body weight in all diabetic groups in the first weeks.

* VML, VMLF, and VCLF groups demonstrated a decrease in blood glucose levels compared to the increase in the DC, PC, and VCL groups.

* Additionally, serum insulin and glucose levels at the end of the experiment were lower in VML, VMLF, and VCLF groups compared to other unimproved groups.

* More importantly, V. myrtillus extracts prevented the development of cataract compared with the DC group (P < .05).


The findings suggested that bilberry processes antioxidative stress activity against the onset of obesity and retinal degenerative disease.


Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compounds may be considered a functioning remedy for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, pending to the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cinnamon, the number One Whole Herb Medicine in management of diabetes and its complications

Intake of cinnamon is found to improve fasting glucose, glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity in women with insulin resistance associated with the polycystic ovary syndrome.

Cinnamon is a spice derived from the inner bark of a tree, native to South East Asia, of over 300 species of the genus Cinnamomum, belonging to the familyLauraceae, used in herbal and traditional medicine as anti-fungal and bacteria level, to improve reproductive organ, prevent flatulence and intestinal cramping, and to treat indigestion, diarrhea, bad breath, headache, migraine, etc.

Cinnamaldehyde, in the animal study found in the husk of Cicer arietinum L. Monosaccharide, exhibited antioxidant effects in reduced 29% of free radical expression and glucolipid levels through its action on multiple signaling pathways including cell cycle arrest and anti pro-inflammatory property.

In vivo and in vitro, administered orally cinnamic acid and cinnamaldehyde lower acute blood glucose and improve glucose tolerance, through stimulating insulin secretion in isolated islets, according to the joint study led by the University of Karachi.

In a 16-week double-blind randomized control trial of 116 individuals with metabolic syndrome, dietary intervention groups with the administration of cinnamon [6 capsules (3 g) daily], significant improve all components of metabolic syndrome in a sample of Asian Indians in north India.

Dr. Gupta Jain S lead author of the researchers said,"Significantly greater decrease [difference between means, (95% CI)] in fasting blood glucose (mmol/L) [0.3 (0.2, 0.5) p = 0.001], glycosylated haemoglobin (mmol/mol) [2.6 (0.4, 4.9) p = 0.023], waist circumference (cm) [4.8 (1.9, 7.7) p = 0.002] and body mass index (kg/m2 ) [1.3 (0.9, 1.5) p = 0.001] was observed in the cinnamon group compared to placebo group".

Other researchers in the study of cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) anti-diabetic property on obese patients also suggested, its effectiveness of increased the lipid storage capacity of white adipocytes and increased the fatty acid oxidation capacity may be due to activities of some other components of cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) in the prevention of obesity-induced type II diabetes


Although cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp) has shown to express good glycemic control to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the intake of cinnamon supplements and whole herb should only be given by the qualified herbal doctor to achieve a greater health effect without side effects.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, cinnamon is a very hot herb, overdoses may induce toxicity.

Cranberry Protects the Neurons Against β-Amyloid Aggregation

Amyloid beta (Aβ or Abeta) is the main component of the amyloid plaques that cause the gradual death of neurons, leading to the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is a common form of dementia or neurodegenerative disease found in the elderly.

Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia correlated with major reductions of neurons to the respective target areas, named after German physician Alois Alzheimer.


According to the statistics, the disease is most prevalent in the elderly. Approximately 5.7 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer's. 15.9 million family caregivers provide an estimated 18.2 billion hours and $230 billion to people with dementia worldwide.

Alzheimer's disease is caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors that affect the neurons of the brain over time. However, less than 10% of patients with AD are associated with a genetic preposition. Patients with such mutated genes on chromosomes 21, 14, and 1are virtually guaranteed to develop the disease.

More precisely, Alzheimer's disease is caused by the gradual loss of neuron functioning that usually starts with the early symptom of the difficulty of remembering recent events and worsens over time.

Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing cognitive modalities severe enough to affect language communication, memory, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer's gets worse over time, and it is fatal.

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 mental disorders, researchers examined the effect of cranberry supplementation on β-amyloid aggregation.

According to tested analysis, the cranberry protected the neurons by mediating Aβ toxicity alleviation required heat shock transcription factor (HSF)-1 rather than DAF-16 and SKN-1associated with cellular stress.

In other words, cranberry supplementation reduced Aβ toxicity induced brain cell stress by reducing the transactivity of HSF-1 in an IIS-dependent manner.

More precisely, HSF-1 plays a pivotal role in maintaining proteostasis, a process that regulates proteins within the cell in order to maintain the neuron cellular health involved in oxidative stress.

Based on the findings, researchers aid, "(cranberry) elucidated the mechanism whereby cranberry attenuated Aβ toxicity in C elegans and stressed the significance of proteostasis in the prevention of age-related diseases from a practical point of view.".


Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the treatment of AD, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
