The smoothie for people with chronic pain
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 1/2 cups cherries cups pineapple
1 slice of ginger root

1 cup of peppermint herbal tea

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

The finding the natural ingredients for treatment of chronic pain is considered as a dream of many scientist to replace the long usage adverse effect of conventional medicine to other organs in the body. Unfortunately, many compounds found effective in initial studying failed to confirm the potential in large sample size and multi center.
Cherries(1), ginger(4) and peppermint(7) may be the next combination of  therateutic ingredients as pain reliever for treatment of chronic pain patient

Cherry, a fleshy drupe, is the fruit of many plants of the genus Prunus cultivated all over the world for commercial profit due to its health potential.

In a randomized double-blind crossover study of 58 non-diabetic patients , oral administration of cherry juice improved the Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, inducing the symptom relief, including pain for patients with mild to moderate knee Osteoarthritis, through lowering the C-reactive protein CRP levels(1).According to the Oregon Health & Science University, the study of fifty-four healthy runners with ingest of 355 mL bottles of tart cherry juice twice daily for 7 day, during a strenuous running event can minimize post-run muscle pain(3).

Dr. Kuehl KS said, "Tart cherries appear to possess similar effectiveness in treating the inflammatory reaction seen in both acute and chronicpain syndromes encountered among athletes and non-athletes with chronic inflammatory disease")2) of that may be used as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient on prevention, treatment, and recovery of soft tissue injury and pain.

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.

In primary dysmenorrhea patient, ginger is effective on pain relief without inducing adverse effects and may be used as an alternative treatment for primary dysmenorrhea, according to the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences(4) and treatment of ginger in students with primary dysmenorrhea for 5 days also showed a statistically significant effect on relieving intensity and duration of pain, the Shahed University, study suggested(5).

Furthermore, in osteoarthritic patient, Dr. Therkleson T said," ginger therapy activated a marked relief of osteoarthritis symptoms that progressively improved over the 24 weeks, with no negative effects reported. Ginger therapy needs to be considered by nurses caring for specific personality types with osteoarthritis"(6).

Peppermint is a hybrid mint with small purple or white flowers and downy leaves, in the genus Mentha, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to to Europe. The herb has been used in folk medicine as analgesic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, decongestant, agent and to relieve gas, nausea, and stomach pain due to an irritable bowel, intestinal cramps, or indigestion, infecttion, etc

According to the Translational Research Center for Gastrointestinal Disorders (TARGID), peppermint oil, with antispasmodics may be considered as the first-line treatment for abdominal pain in patient with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)(7).

Menthol, the cooling natural product of peppermint,according to the study conducted by Yale University School of Medicine, is widely used for the relief of acute and inflammatory pain in sports injuries, arthritis, and other painful conditions, through activating the methol induced the sensation of cooling(8).

Dr. Shen YH and Dr. Nahas R. said," Peppermint oil alleviates IBS symptoms, including abdominal pain" and "several complementary and alternative therapies can be recommended as part of an evidence-based approach to the treatment of IBS; these might provide patients with satisfactory relief and improve the therapeutic alliance"(9).

In the 76-year-old woman whose pain had been resistant to standard therapies, application of neat peppermint oil showed to immediately improve in her pain with persistence for 4-6 hours after application of the oil(10).

Taking altogether, People who are at increased risk of Chronic Pain  due to aging,....should drink at least one serving daily and people with Chronic Pain should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive and liver toleration.

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions which affect the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, Obstructive lung diseases, Restrictive lung diseases, Respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and muscles breathing , etc,.

                                       Asthma


Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the air way of the lung with recurring symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The disease affects people of all ages, and mostly starts during childhood. In the study of 463,801 children aged 13-14 years in 155 collaborating centres in 56 countries. Children self-reported, through one-page questionnaires, symptoms of these three atopic disorders. In 99 centres in 42 countries, a video asthma questionnaire was also used for 304,796 children, found that for asthma symptoms, the highest 12-month prevalences were from centres in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Republic of Ireland, followed by most centres in North, Central, and South America; the lowest prevalences were from centres in several Eastern European countries, Indonesia, Greece, China, Taiwan, Uzbekistan, India, and Ethiopia(1). In the United States, approximately, asthma affects 25 million people, 7 million of them are children.

The Treatment
In herbal medicine perspective
1. Garlic
Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, belonging to family Amaryllidaceae, native to central Asia. It has been used popularly in traditional and Chinese medicine in treating common cold and flu to the Plague, blood pressure cholesterol levels, natural antibiotic, etc,. In the study to investigate the effect of 1, 2, and 3 times intraperitoneal injections of aged garlic extract on an established allergic airway inflammation in murine model (BALB/c mice), researchers at the Tarbiat Modares University, showed that aged garlic extract has the potential of attenuation of inflammatory features of allergic airway inflammation in murine model(81).
2. Onions
The onion is a plants in the genus Allium, belongs to the family Alliaceae, a close relation of garlic. It It is often called the “king of vegetables” because of its pungent taste and found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world’s cultures. Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild or sweet.In the study to investigate Lyophilized onion extract and ether extracts of onions were separated by chromatographic methods into several subfractions and tested for their effects on asthmatic reactions of guinea pigs to allergen, histamine, acetylcholine and platelet-activating factor (PAF) inhalation as well as on thromboxane biosynthesis of human platelets and lung fibroblasts, found that ooils are counteracting the bronchial obstruction due to PAF inhalation(82).
3. Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus globulus Labill. (Family Myrtaceae) is a plant of Australian origin, with a reported therapeutic use in airway inflammatory diseases. In the study to evaluate the effects of a water extract of E. globulus leaves for its putative in vitro scavenging effects on ROS (HO(*), O(2)(*-), ROO(*), and H(2)O(2)) and RNS ((*)NO and ONOO(-)) and on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH). Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the extract’s phenolic composition, showed that phytochemical analysis showed the presence of polyphenols such as flavonoids (rutin and quercitrin) and phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid and ellagic acid), which may be partially responsible for the observed antioxidant activity. These observations provide further support, beyond the well-known antibacterial and antiviral activities of the Eucalyptus plant, for its reported use in traditional medicine such as in the treatment of airway inflammatory diseases, considering the important role of ROS and RNS in the inflammatory process(83).
4. Other herbs
In the study to assess the efficacy of water-soluble plant polysaccharides isolated from pharmacopoeic raw material on anaphylactic shock and production of IgE and IgG1 by lymphocytes from mice immunized with ovalbumin, found that treatment with polysaccharides from coltsfoot, sweet flag, clover, Artemisia, marigold, and elecampane reduced animal mortality after induction of anaphylactic shock. In addition, injection of these substances reduced serum concentrations of IgE and IgG1. These substances can be regarded as promising agents for the treatment of IgE-dependent diseases (atopic dermatitis, asthma, atopic rhinitis, urticaria, food allergies, etc.)(84).

The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of endometrial cancer

Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 1/4 cup cooked tomato
1/4 cup carrot
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and set aside for cooling to room temperature)


1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

The dream of finding the natural ingredient for prevention and treatment of endometrial cancer  without adverse effects in replacement of conventional medication has not been abated. Some ingredients have to discard due to it can achieve the same potent results in human trials.
Green tea(1) and carrot, tomato(4) may have a potential and therapeutic value for reduced risk and treatment of cervical cancer probably due to theirs' phytochemicals effect in ameliorated proliferation of cancer cell expression, recent studies suggested.

In a total of 995 incidence cases aged 30 - 69 from January 1997 to December 2002 and 1087 controls, Green tea consumption has shown an inverse association with endometrial cancer risk(1).
According to the First People's Hospital of Changde City study, Overall relative risk (RR) suggested that increased green tea consumption was associated with a reduced risk of endometrial Cancer, but large population-based randomized controlled trials and large prospective cohort studies are required to obtain a definitive conclusion and determine the mechanisms underlying this association(2).
Other study insisted that the inverse association of endometrial cancer risk with caffeinated coffee intake was specific to women with a body mass index 30+ kg m(3).

Tomato, a red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belongings to family Solanaceae, native to South America may have a potential use for reducing risk and treatment of endometrial cancer(4). According to the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri, dietary carotenoids forms a favorable role of reduced risk on endometrial cancer(4). and blood serum levels of beta-carotene are inversely associated with the risk of endometrial cancer in Korean women(5).

Lycopene, another phytochemical found in tomato and carrot also exhibited anti endometrial cancer activity through inhibiting cell proliferation associated with inhibition of cell cycle progression at the G(1) phase(6).

Dr. Hirsch K and the research team at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Soroka Medical Center of Kupat Holim said," carotenoids prevent several types of cancer, including mammary and endometrial cancers" and " dietary carotenoids inhibit estrogen signaling of both 17beta-estradiol and genistein, and attenuate their deleterious effect in hormone-dependent malignancies"(7).

Women who are at high risk of endometrial cancer such as genetic mutation genes,,.....should drink at least one cup daily and people with endometrial cancer should drink the juices as much as they can depending to digestive toleration.

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions which affect the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, Obstructive lung diseases, Restrictive lung diseases, Respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and muscles breathing , etc,.

                                  Asthma

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the air way of the lung with recurring symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The disease affects people of all ages, and mostly starts during childhood. In the study of 463,801 children aged 13-14 years in 155 collaborating centres in 56 countries. Children self-reported, through one-page questionnaires, symptoms of these three atopic disorders. In 99 centres in 42 countries, a video asthma questionnaire was also used for 304,796 children, found that for asthma symptoms, the highest 12-month prevalences were from centres in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Republic of Ireland, followed by most centres in North, Central, and South America; the lowest prevalences were from centres in several Eastern European countries, Indonesia, Greece, China, Taiwan, Uzbekistan, India, and Ethiopia(1). In the United States, approximately, asthma affects 25 million people, 7 million of them are children.

                   The Effectiveness of Vitamin E

Vitamin E, a fat soluble vitamin, consisting eight different variants (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol and alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol) with varying levels of biological activity(2), found abundantly in corn oil, soybean oil, margarine, wheat germ oil, sunflower,safflower oils, etc. plays an important role in neurological functions and inhibition of platelet aggregation, regulation of enzymatic activity, free radical scavenger, etc..
General consensus suggestion of increased dietary vitamin E intake is associated with a reduced incidence of asthma, due its antioxidant status, but epidemiological studies, linking vitamin E in reduced risk and treatment of asthma have not been conclusive(a)(b)(c)(d)(e).

1. Serum levels of vitamin E
Serum levels of vitamin in asthmatic patients may be correlated to the occurrence of the diseases. The University of Tampere study of five European rural settings with Children of 1133 mothers recruited during pregnancy, showed no associated of with allergies or asthma by 6 years of age regardless the concentration of vitamin E(1). and the study of the Yamaguchi University, also indicated no correlation of levels of vitamin E and asthma in the a total of Of 2796 students attending schools in Shunan, Japan, in 2006.(1a). The University of Medical Sciences study indicated other wise as treatment of fluticasone and vitamin E (50mg/day) showed an significantly increased of Serum level of Vitamin E, with improved FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio(2). The study of acute asthmatic attack in children, showed a high degree of reactive oxygen species formation causing considerable oxidative stress with the high level of oxidants Serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and low level of antioxidants(vitamin C, vitamin E and uric acid)(3). Researchers at the Oslo University Hospital, in the study of children of 7-12 yr with asthma (n = 50) and no asthma (controls) (n = 52)indicated that schoolchildren with asthma and rhinitis had reduced levels of the major serum antioxidant albumin, and poorly controlled asthma was associated with decreased vitamin E and transferrin levels(4).


2. The effects
The Northwestern University study indicated the opposing regulatory effects as allergic inflammation is inhibited by supplementation with the purified natural vitamin E isoform α-tocopherol but elevated by the isoform γ-tocopherol when administered at physiological tissue concentrations(5)(6). But according to University of North Carolina School of Medicine, γ-tocopherol (GT) significantly decreased (p < 0.05) internalization of attached zymosan bioparticles and macrophage expression of CD206, CD36 and CD86 in allergic asthmatics through downregulation of both innate and adaptive immune response elements, and atopic status(7). The composition containing 623 mg of gamma-tocopherol, 61.1 mg of d-alpha-tocopherol, 11.1 mg of d-beta-tocopherol (11.1 mg), and 231 mg of d-sigma-tocopherol capsule in Phase I human dosing study showed the decreased systemic oxidative stress, increased serum levels of gamma-tocopherol, and inhibited monocyte responses to LPS without any adverse health effects(8). IOvalbumin (OVA)-sensitized Brown Norway rats, treatment of gamma-tocopherol (gammaT), inhibited the pathogenesis of both AR and asthma inflammatory pathways(9).Suggestion of oxidant stress and diminished antioxidant defenses may be a cause of asthmatic disease(10) and uncontrolled asthma and severe asthmapattern have impaired antioxidant defenses and are thus most susceptible to the damaging effects of oxidative stress(11). 1500 IU of natural-source d-α-tocopheryl acetate daily for at least 16 weeks in volunteered asthmatic patient, showed to inhibited oxidant stress, through modulation of allergic inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness in human atopic asthmatics in vivo(12).

Taken altogether, Aγ-tocopherol, a variant of vitamin E, may be effective in reduced risk and treatment of asthmatic disorder, but further large sample and in multi centers studies are necessary to validate it claims. Over doses of vitamin E supplement can cause symptoms of blurred vision, weakness, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, etc., please make sure you follow the guideline of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.

The smoothie for infertile women

Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
5 grams royal jelly
2 cup Homo milk



1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately

The findings of a natural ingredient for treatment and delay the progression of Alzheimer's disease from scientific communities have not been abating. Many ingredients showed extremely prominent in animal studies do not produce the same effects in human trials.

Some renown institutions may have found the ingredients from natural sources, such as whole milk(2)and Royal Jelly(5)  for prevented risk and treatment of female infertility, recent studies suggested.

In women, high-fat dairy foods intake may decrease this risk of anovulatory infertility, according to the Harvard School of Public Health(2). In support of above, Dr. Chavarro JE and the reearch team said, "...., high fat dairy,.. related to lower ovulatory disorder infertility",in a cohort of 17,544 women without a history of infertility for 8 years(3).

The the World Health Organization in the study to improve fertility in women recommended daily intake of high-fat dairy is associate to improve women's fertility, along with fruit and vegetable products(4).

Monounsaturated fatty acids found abundantly in whole milk products, nuts and high fat fruits such as olives and avocados. Olive oil may also increase the chance of women fertility.dr. Szostak-Węgierek D. said," Adequate intake of monounsaturated fatty acids, derived mainly from vegetable fats, ...... may be effective in the prevention of infertility in females"(5).

Royal jelly, secreted by honey bee, fed bee larvae in the first few days and entire life of an adult queen with an aim of producing larvae for extension of the life of colony, induced the differentiation of honeybee larvae into queen may process the therapeutic values for treatment of female fertility(6), according to the University of Minnesota.
Royalactin, a phytochemical found in royal jelly, induced the differentiation of honeybee larvae into queens expressed the reproductive procedure through decreased developmental time, and increased the titre of juvenile hormone, an essential hormone for ovary development(7). 

According to the  Infertility Cure: The Ancient Chinese Wellness Program for Getting ... By Randine Lewis in comment of Royal Jelly for increased fertility said," Bogdan Tekavcic, a gynecologist, who found that women who were given bee pollen with royal jelly demonstrated improvement or disappearance of their menstrual problems compared to a placebo group who reported no difference"(8).

The combined whole milk and royal jelly may improve the chance of conceive of infertile women may contribute to further investigation of therapeutic natural ingredients for reduced risk and treatment of female infertility.

Women who are at increased risk of infertile due to family history, genetic mutation, aging,...... should drink at least one serving daily and women who can not get pregnant after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse should drink as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.

Dietary pattern of phytoestrogens may be necessary to induce subtle hormonal changes. According to the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, serum of phytoestrogen is associate positively to short time for women to get pregnant(1). The study also suggested that couples who are attempting to conceive, should consider adding dietary rich of phytoestrogen fruits and vegetables into their diet(1).

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions which affect the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, Obstructive lung diseases, Restrictive lung diseases, Respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and muscles breathing , etc,.

                                         Asthma

 
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the air way of the lung with recurring symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The disease affects people of all ages, and mostly starts during childhood. In the study of 463,801 children aged 13-14 years in 155 collaborating centres in 56 countries. Children self-reported, through one-page questionnaires, symptoms of these three atopic disorders. In 99 centres in 42 countries, a video asthma questionnaire was also used for 304,796 children, found that for asthma symptoms, the highest 12-month prevalences were from centres in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Republic of Ireland, followed by most centres in North, Central, and South America; the lowest prevalences were from centres in several Eastern European countries, Indonesia, Greece, China, Taiwan, Uzbekistan, India, and Ethiopia(1). In the United States, approximately, asthma affects 25 million people, 7 million of them are children.

                                  The Treatment

In conventional medicine perspective
According to the guide line of Asthma society of Canada, Most people with asthma take two kinds of medication.
F.1.1. Controllers
Controllers are medication with an aim to prevent the inflammation of the airway. There are advised that patients aho are taking the cotrollers shoud continue to take them even without symptoms to prevent recurrence.
1. Corticosteroids
Corticosteroids are most frequent used controllers in preventing inflammatory airways in asthma patients.
a. Inhaled corticosteroids
According to the study by University of Nevada School of Medicine, in the review of review is to compare and contrast the newer inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) ciclesonide with older ICSs, showed that once-daily administration of ICSs is generally not as effective as twice-daily. Continuous administration of ICSs does not change the natural history of asthma in either children or adults. Long-term administration of medium dose ICSs does not increase the risk of cataracts or osteopenia in children and young adults(67). Others in the study of Dry powder inhaler (DPI) devices to assess the proportion of patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with significant bronchoobstruction who do not have inspiratory flows necessary for the adequate use of dry powder inhaler (DPI) devices Diskus and Turbuhaler. showed that significant proportion of patients with asthma or COPD with significant bronchoobstruction do not exhibit satisfactory inspiratory flows for the use of dry powder inhaler (DPI) devices (Diskus < Turbuhaler)(68).
b. Oral or intravenous corticosteroids
In the study of 47 patients, 30 females, 17 male, 24 received oral prednisolone and 23 received IV hydrocortisone. At baseline the oral and IV groups were similar (mean, SD) in age (38.3, 12.8 vs 37.3, 12.9, P=0.80) and initial percent predicted (PP) PEF (61, 16.7 vs 69, 13.0, P=0.11). After 72 h both groups had similar improvements in PEF (27%, 26 vs 27%, 19, P=0.96), researchers at the Department of Respiratory and Sleep Disorders Medicine, Western Hospital, found that Corticosteroids administered orally and IV had similar efficacy in the treatment of adults hospitalised with acute asthma(69).
c. Side effects
a.1. psychiatric side effects include mania, depression and mood disturbances within the first two weeks of corticosteroid therapy(70).
2. Short side effects include cutaneous effects, electrolyte abnormalities, hypertension, hyperglycemia, pancreatitis, hematologic, immunologic, and neuropsychologic effects. and Long-term corticosteroid use may be associated with more serious sequel, including osteoporosis, aseptic joint necrosis, adrenal insufficiency, gastrointestinal, hepatic, and ophthalmologic effects, hyperlipidemia, growth suppression, and possible congenital malformations(71).
2. Cromolyn sodium and nedocromil
a. The medication are used tr block part of the asthma immune response causes of airway inflammation.
Some researchers found that the asthma drugs cromolyn disodium and nedocromil sodium are potent G-protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) agonists. In the study by Amgen San Francisco, South San Francisco, unlike zaprinast, a potent phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, cromolyn disodium and nedocromil sodium lack inhibitory activity towards PDE5. These findings suggest that GPR35 may play an important role in mast cell biology and be a potential target for the treatment of asthma(72).
b. Side effects are not limit to
Bad taste in mouth
Cough
Itching or sore throat
Headache
Sneezing or stuffy nose

3. Long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABAs)
a. The medication used with intention for long term control of the symptoms. Long-acting beta-agonist to an inhaled corticosteroid has been accepted as effective therapy for almost two decades, according to the study by Faculty of Medicine, Gazi University, Ankara, found that evidence supports the use of long-acting beta-2 agonists plus inhaled corticosteroids in a single inhaler device to increase adherence and reduce the potential use of long-acting beta-2 agonists monotherapy(73). Other indicated that in adolescents and adults with sub-optimal control on low dose ICS monotherapy, the combination of LABA and ICS is modestly more effective in reducing the risk of exacerbations requiring oral corticosteroids than a higher dose of ICS. Combination therapy also led to modestly greater improvement in lung function, symptoms and use of rescue ss(2) agonists and to fewer withdrawals due to poor asthma control than with a higher dose of inhaled corticosteroids(74).
b. Side effects are not limit to
LABAs may lead to a worsening of asthma symptoms, heart attack and even death, when used alone over a long period of time, (75).
4. Methylxanthines
a. The medication used to gether with inhaled Corticosteroids to prevent the nightmare symptoms of asthatic patients. The methylxanthine theophylline has demonstrated efficacy in attenuating the three cardinal features of asthma – reversible airflow obstruction, airway hyperresponsiveness, and airway inflammation, according to the study by University of North Carolina(76).
b. Side effects are not limit to Cardiac arrhythmias, CNS excitement, tremors, convulsions, and GI irritation.
5. Leukotriene modifiers including cysteinyl LTs (CysLTs) and LTB(4)
a. The medication may be used as alternative for patient with low dose inhaled corticosteroids. Acording to the study by Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Rome,, LTB(4) might have a role in severe asthma, asthma exacerbations, and the development of airway hyperresponsiveness. CysLT(1) receptor antagonists can be given orally as monotherapy in patients with mild persistent asthma, but these drugs are generally less effective than inhaled glucocorticoids. Combination of CysLT(1) receptor antagonists and inhaled glucocorticoids in patients with more severe asthma may improve asthma control and enable the dose of inhaled glucocorticoids to be reduced while maintaining similar efficacy(77).
b. Side effects are not limit to headache, stomachache or flu-like.
6. Etc.
F.1.2. Relievers
The aim of the medication are to to alleviate symptoms immediately.
1. Short-acting beta-2 agonists
a. Some researchers indicated that although Inhaled beta-adrenergic agonist bronchodilators are integral components of effective asthma treatment, but long-term use of both long-acting and short-acting inhaled beta-agonists may cause a loss of asthma control in some patients(78). But other found evidence against concerns over regular use of inhaled short-acting beta-2 agonists(79).
b. Side effects are not limit to headache and dizziness. Nausea, Vmiting, Diarhea, Anixety, Nervousness or tremor
2. Anticholinergics
In the study of data from 32 randomised controlled trials (n = 3611 subjects) showed significant reductions in hospital admissions in both children (RR = 0.73; 95% CI 0.63 to 0.85, p = 0.0001) and adults (RR = 0.68; 95% CI 0.53 to 0.86, p = 0.002) treated with inhaled anticholinergic agents, combined treatment also produced a significant increase in spirometric parameters 60-120 minutes after the last treatment in both children (SMD = -0.54; 95% CI -0.28 to -0.81, p = 0.0001) and adults (SMD = -0.36; 95% CI -0.23 to -0.49, p = 0.00001), conducted by Departamento de Emergencia, Hospital Central de las FF.AA, suggested that the addition of multiple doses of inhaled ipratropium bromide to beta(2) agonists is indicated as the standard treatment in children, adolescents, and adults with moderate to severe exacerbations of asthma in the emergency setting(80).

The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of Lower Back Pain

Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
3/4 cup pineapple
3/4 cup orange
1 cup herbal ginger tea drink (Make from 4 grams(2 tea bags) of green tea, and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and set aside for cooling to room temperature)


1. Place the grapes, green tea, in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately

The findings of a natural ingredient for treatment  of Lower Back Pain from scientific communities have not been abating. Many ingredients showed extremely prominent in animal studies do not produce the same effects in human trials.

According to the recent studies by the well known institutions, ginger(1), Pineapple(5) and orange(10), may hold a key for potential and therapeutic values for attenuated symptoms and treatment of lower back pain.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil. It has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.

Strong evidence in pidemiological studies linking ginger phytochemicals in reduced symptoms of pain and treatment of chronic pain diseases may be due to its hypoalgesic and anti inflammatory activities(1)(4).

A 164 patients screened, 140 eligible, 70 were randomized to the application of aromatic ginger oil (SMGO) on chronic low back pain study, exhibited a significant improvements in pain intensity and disability (p<0.05) across the period of assessments in immediate, short- and long-term effectiveness(2).

According to the University of Freiburg im Breisgau, ginger has shown a moderate effect as a herbal medicine in the treatment of osteoarthritic complaints and chronic low back pain but further studies are necessary to enable acceptance of the herbal medicines into the treatment guidelines(3).

Intake of melatonin enhancer fruits, such as pineapple and orange can improve sleep quality, pain and pain threshold, particular on pain score on the Visual Analog Scale, according to the study by the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)(5).

In chronic lower back pain patient, Dr. Kurganova YM and Dr. Danilov AB. said, in application over 12 weeks of melatonin in patient with lower back pain " (there is) a significant reduction in pain intensity at movement and resting state.....in the main groups compared to controls" and " ossible mechanisms of analgesic properties of melatonin and world experience in chronic low back pain treatment"(6). Other study suggested that the effectiveness of melatonin in pain relief in chronic pain patient, probably due to its analgesic possibilities(7).

According to the Ubon Ratchathani University, intake of pineapple and orange in health subjects experiment showed to increase the serum melatonin concentrations as well as raising the antioxidant capacity in proportion to serum melatonin levels(8). 

Pineapple is a species of Ananas Comos. belongings to the family Bromeliaceae and native to southern Brazil and Paraguay. Today it is widely cultivated for commercial and its rich of vitamins and mineral and digesting enzyme bromelin which seems to help digestion at the end of a high protein meal. It is second only to banana as America's most favourite tropical fruit

Dr. Johns NP and colleagues at the Khon Kaen University said," selected fruits(pineapple, orange and banana) consumption may reduce age-related melatonin reduction problems such as sleeplessness and illnesses involving oxidative damage"(9).

Orange is a species of Citrus Sinensis, belong to the family Rutaceae and native to the Southeast Asia. Orange is round citrus fruits with finely-textured skins, orange in color and one of most popular fruits in the world.

The increased levels of melatonin content during alcoholic fermentation of orange juice may hold a key to attenuate the melatonin due to ageing(10).

Dr. Huang X and Dr. Mazza G. said," orange had the highest melatonin content" in the the direct analysis of initial methanol extracts was compared with further ethyl acetate extraction(11).

Taking altogether, intake of combination of ginger, pineapple and orange  induced the production of melatonin in improved the sleep pattern and reduced significantly pain on pain score may be beneficiary for treatment of symptoms of  lower back pain

People who are at higher risk of lower back pain due to aging or occupations,...may drink one or 2 servings a day, people with lower back pain should drink as much as they can depending to the digestive alternation.
