                            Respiratory Disease 

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions, affecting 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,.
Restrictive lung diseases or restrictive ventilatory defects
Restrictive lung disease is a condition marked most obviously by a reduction in total lung capacity. A restrictive ventilatory defect may be caused by a pulmonary deficit, such as pulmonary fibrosis (abnormally stiff, non-compliant lungs), or by non-pulmonary deficits, including respiratory muscle weakness, paralysis, and deformity or rigidity of the chest wall(1).

                                                  The Treatment 

In herbal medicine perspective
The aim od herbal medicine is to prevent lung infections and relieve its symptoms. Herbs support the lungs, strengthen the immune system and repair tissues, include
1. Herbs support the lungs
In the study of the effect of astragalus membranceus(fisch) bge, codonpsis pilosula and glycyrrhiza uralensis fisch on airway responsiveness, found that after 28 asthmatic patients received the treatment of those herbs, the results showed that FVC value increased obviously (t = 2.217, P < 0.05) and the value of FEV1 and PEF was all higher compared with before treatment of the herbs (P < 0.01)(33).
2. Herbs enhance immunity
In the study of the effect of Chinese herbs (Astragalus radix and Ganoderma lucidum) on immune response of carp in fish fed diets containing Astragalus (0.5%), Ganoderma (0.5%) and combination of two herbs (Astragalus 0.5% and Ganoderma 0.5%) for 5 weeks, showed that feeding non-vaccinated and vaccinated carp with combination of Astragalus and Ganoderma stimulated respiratory burst activity, phagocytosis of phagocytic cells in blood and lysozyme and circulatory antibody titres in plasma in vaccinated carp. Fish challenged with A. hydrophila had variable survival. The best survival (60%) was in vaccinated group fed with both herbs, while almost 90% of control fish (negative control) and 60% of fish vaccinated only (positive control) died(34).
3. Herbs repair tissues
According to the study by Ohio State University’s Heart and Lung Research Institute, Grape-seed extractseemed to aid wound healing in two ways: It helped the body make more of a compound used to regenerate damaged blood vessels, and it also increased the amount of free radicals in the wound site. Free radicals help clear potentially pathogenic bacteria from a wound(35).

The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of Cold Sores

Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 1/2 cups orange
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea, a slice of ginger and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and let cool to room temperature)

1. Place tall 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 finding of a natural source for reduced risk and treatment of Cold Sores with no adverse effects has encountered many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially the promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in either large sample size and mutli centers human trials.
Recent studies conducted by respectable institution suggested that green tea(1), Orange juice(3) may consist a potential response for reduced risk and treatment of cold sore with little or no adverse effects

Cold sores (Herpes labialis) is an infection of the lip as a result of the outbreak of by herpes simplex virus (HSV-1). The blister is healed within 2 - 3 weeks, but the virus remains dormant in the facial nerve and the rate of the recurrence of the diseases is very high to rare episodes to 12 or more.

Green tea contains more amount of antioxidants than any drinks or food with the same volume, and is the leaves of Camellia sinensis, undergone minimal oxidation during processing, originated from China. According to the Zhejiang University,AverTeaX formulation containg high amount of catechins effectively inhibited herpes simplex labialis infection with clinical significance(1).

Dr Zhao M and colleagues in the study of inhibitory effects on herpessimplex virus suggested topical formulation containing EGCG-stearate in 100% glycerin USP effectively prevent and treat HSV-induced symptoms(2).

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. Its juice contains highest amount of vitamin C in comparison of other juice. According to the Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Mexico, oral administration of 1 mg of lignin-ascorbic acid tablet or solution three times daily for a month inhibited HSV-1 infection(3).

In a randomized double-bind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, topical ascorbic acid-containing pharmaceutical formulation, Ascoxal, exerted anti antiviral effects herpes simplex virus with a statistically significant clinical result(4).

Dr. Terezhalmy GT, and colleagues in the study of treatment of recurrent herpes labialis suggested, application of different doses of water-soluble bioflavonoid-ascorbic acid inhibited the initial symptoms associated with recurrent herpes labialis(5).

The identified ingredients of catechins and vitamin C found abundantly in green tea and orange should provide us with strong evidences in support the use of smoothie in reduced risk and treatment of cold sore.

People who are at increased risk of Cold Sores due to family history, nutrient deficiency.. .....should drink at least one serving daily and people with Cold Sores should drink the juices as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.

Change of life style and diet pattern are also recommended.

In traditional Chinese medicine perspective
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a restrictive lung disease that may occur idiopathically or as a complication of many diseases. In the study to test a new Chinese medicine formula DSQRL for the treatment of experimental PF in comparison with prednisone, conducted by Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong, showed that at the end of 30 days treatment, the DSQRL treatment achieved a better outcome (p<0.05) than prednisone in terms of histological examination, hydroxyproline assay and complications(36). In other study by the same university to compare the Chinese medicine formula DSQRL from glucocorticoids, indicated that at the end of 60 days treatment, the DSQRL treatment achieved a significantly better outcome than prednisolone in terms of general behavior, histological examination, hydroxyproline content of the lung and inflammatory cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(37)

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Diarrhea
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 cup banana

1/2 cup yogurt
1 cup ginger tea
 (Make from 2 bags of herbal ginger tea, and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes. 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 finding the natural ingredients for improvement of diarrhea without side effect is considered as a dream of many scientists. Unfortunately, many compounds found effective in initial studying failed to confirm the potential in large sample size and multi center. Some even produce conflicted results in second and further studies.

Diarrhea is  a condition of passing of loose or watery stools as a result of viruses (rotavirus, norovirus, etc.), bacteria (food poisoning, E coli), parasites effects, intestinal disorders, fat mal-absorption, laxative abuse ..., etc. alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids and terpenes.

Recent studies back by respectable institutions suggested that ginger, may have a therapeutic values used for reduced risk and treatment of diarrhea, particular in underdevelopment countries where sanitation is a problem. According to Dr. Gao F.,  diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome can be treated by ginger-partitioned moxibustion and acupoint application(1).

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.

According to the United Graduate School of Veterinary Sciences, zingerone can inhibit colonic motility via direct action on smooth muscles of that may might exert beneficial therapeutic effects on diarrhea by excessive gastrointestinal motility(2).

In Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT)-induced diarrhea animal model, chemically synthesized zingerone derivatives, compound 31 (2-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]benzoic acid) significantly suppressed LT-induced diarrhea in mice through phase one cell cycle arrest(3).

Yogurt, a foods food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk may also be used for treatment of diarrhea(4).According to the China Medical University, yogart as probiotic effectively treat diarrhea in patients with diarrhea within 15 days(4).

In acute diarrhea in 6-24-month-old hospitalized infants, Yogurt treatment significantly improved mean hospitalization days, reduced diarrhea frequency and weight gain, according to Dr. Pashapour N and Dr. Iou SG.(5).

Furthermore, according to the joint study lead by the  University of Tasmania, yogurt, containing containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), Bifidobacterium lactis (Bb-12) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-5) may be effective for reducing the incidence of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea in children(6).

Banana is the common name of a genus of tropical herbaceous plants, in recent studies also expressed its anti diarrhea effects up to 57% in test subjects(7). In the comparison of Warfarin and Banana Flakes Supplement on diarrhea, researchers at the showed that oral administration of dried banana flakes treat diarrhea effectively and subsequent decrease in the rate and extent of diarrhea(8), according to the Thomas Jefferson University.
Dr. Rabbani GH and colleagues at the Centre Health and Population Research, Bangladesh in the investigation of the effects of green banana and pectin suggested, green banana mediated the stimulation of colonic small bowel absorption through their antidiarrheal and colonotrophic effects(9).

The discovery of simple ingredients which can be found easily in the market of third world countries may act as a cornerstone for the development of potential and functional foods for reduced risk and treatment of  Diarrhea.
People with higher risk of diarrhea due to digestive problem and family history should drink at least one serving a day and people with diarrhea should drink 4 servings daily, depending to the digestive toleration.

                            Respiratory Disease 

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions, affecting 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,.
Restrictive lung diseases or restrictive ventilatory defects
Restrictive lung disease is a condition marked most obviously by a reduction in total lung capacity. A restrictive ventilatory defect may be caused by a pulmonary deficit, such as pulmonary fibrosis (abnormally stiff, non-compliant lungs), or by non-pulmonary deficits, including respiratory muscle weakness, paralysis, and deformity or rigidity of the chest wall(1).

                                                  The Treatment

In conventional medicine perspective
Treatments are depending to the underline causes in diagnosis
F.1.1. Non medication Therapies
1. Pulmonary rehabilitation
Pulmonary rehabilitation programs improve exercise tolerance, muscle strength, and dyspnea in patients with COPD. In the study to assess prospectively the effectiveness and feasibility of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with restrictive lung diseases by Department of Respiratory Medicine, Ghent University Hospital, showed that patients with RLD respond well after 12 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation, and even better results were seen after 24 weeks. Clinically significant improvements were obtained in the majority of the patients after 24 weeks(26).
2. Oxygen therapy
Collective experience with pulmonary rehabilitation and disease management has shown that patients with lung diseases including COPD and restrictive lung diseases live a longer and more productive quality of life if they can remain active(27).
3. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
The aim of CPAP is to provide continuous positive pressure to maintain a continuous level of positive airway pressure of that can improve oxygenation in a patient whose hypoxemia is refractory to oxygen therapy. Evidence suggests that use of CPAP for longer than 6 hours decreases sleepiness, improves daily functioning, and restores memory to normal levels(28).
4. Mechanical ventilation support
The aim of Mechanical ventilation is to mechanically assist or replace spontaneous breathing, if the patient is on his/her way to respiratory failure. High levels of prolonged pressure support ventilation promote diaphragmatic atrophy and contractile dysfunction. Furthermore, similar to controlled mechanical ventilation, pressure support ventilation-induced diaphragmatic atrophy and weakness are associated with both diaphragmatic oxidative stress and protease activation(29).
F.1.2. Medication therapy
1. Inhaled corticosteroids
Inhaled corticosteroids act locally in the lungs to inhibit the inflammatory process and support the function to relieve the symptoms of Restrictive lung disease. In the study of nine pregnant women with interstitial and restrictive lung disease between 1981 and 1994, showed that hree patients had severe disease, characterized by vital capacity < or = 1.5 L (50% predicted) or diffusing capacity < or = 50% predicted. Five patients had exercise-induced oxygen desaturation, and four required supplemental oxygen. Five patients required corticosteroids. One patient had an adverse outcome; she was delivered at 31 weeks and required mechanical ventilation for 72 hours. All other patients were delivered at or beyond 36 weeks with no adverse intrapartum or postpartum complications(30).
2. Immunosuppressive therapy
The aim of Immunosuppressive therapy is to reduce the immune response. Some researchers suggested that adverse drug reactions should be considered in patients with concomitant lung and liver disease(31).
3. Reducing fluid buildup in the lungs
If the underlined causes of the disease is as a result of cardiac problem.
F.1.3. Surgery
If the underlined causes as a result of abdominal problems, such as obesity, remove abdominal tumors, repair diaphragmatic hernias, etc. In the study to describe the outcome of surgical treatment for pediatric patients with forced vital capacity (FVC) <40% and severe vertebral deformity, showed that corrective scoliosis surgery in pediatric patients with severe restrictive lung disease is well tolerated, but the management of this population requires extensive experience with the vertebral surgery involved, and a multidisciplinary approach that includes pulmonologists, nutritionists and anesthesiologists. Currently, there is no indication for routine preoperative tracheostomy(32).

The smoothie for reduced symptoms and treatment of Perimenopause 
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 gram of formula RRF(you cam buy them in any Chinese herbal store)
1/2 cup of flax seed
1 cup of grape
1 cup of rice 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. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

The finding the natural ingredients for reduced symptoms and treatment of Perimenopause  is considered as a dream of many scientist to replace the long usage adverse effect of conventional medicine.
Unfortunately, many compounds found effective in initial studying failed to confirm the potentials in large sample size and multi center.

Recent studies suggested that scientist in some research centers have found the naturally potential ingredients, from Radix Astragali (RA), Radix Angelicae Sinensis (RAS) and Folium Epimedii (FE), three of the extensively applied herbs among traditional Chinese medicines for gynecological disorders(1), including symptoms of Perimenopause.

Long-term treatment of RRF formula exhibited estrogenic properties, inhibited age-associated egeneration may be considered as an alternative/complementary medicine in relieving perimenopausal symptoms(1), according to the joint study lead by the Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.

Huang Qi or Bei Qi is also known as Astragalus root. The sweet herb has been used as diuretic agent and to lower blood pressure, increase blood pressure, lessens proteinuria, improve endurance, protect liver function, regulate blood sugar, etc.

In natural aging animal study, Radix Astragali used conjuction with Radix Angelicae Sinensis, and Folium Epimedii in formula RRF, expressed a a positive regulation on the estrogen imbalance and neurotransmitter disorder in restoring reproductive organ degeneration and skeleton deterioration in perimenopausal rats(2).

According to the Guangzhou University Town, RRF also enhanced estradiol (E(2) synthese while diminished the elevated serum FSH and LH levels, attenuated osteoporosis by elevating the BMD levels of total body and bone trabeculae degradation of which induced a capable of acting at multiple targets in the protection and treatment of perimenopausal disorders in midlife women(3).

Furthermore, RRF on study of immunological function, RRF also displayed a relatively wide margin of safety. Dr. Xie JH and colleagues at the joint study lead by the Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou said, "Long-term treatment of RRF exhibited estrogenic properties, and retarded certain age-associated degenerations" and "RRF might have the potential for further development as a safe and effective alternative/complementary to conventional medication in relieving perimenopausal symptoms."(4).

On Chinese medicinal plant Radix astragali(RA) alone in the study of 24 ovariectomized female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, oral application of RA significantly improved the immune functions of the ovariectomized female rats, but cannot induced the change the sex hormones levels as significantly as estrogen(5).

Dang Qui (Angelica sinensis) 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. Use conjunction with Radix Astragali and Folium Epimedii in formula RRF improved the aging degeneration of perimenopausal symptoms in animal study(2).

Folium Epimedii, deciduous or evergreen hardy perennials, native to Asia, and a few in the Mediterranean region has been used in Chinese medicine for induced sexual activity. When used together with Dang qui and Huang qi in formula RRF has shown effectively in enhanced the balancing of diminished hormones due to aging in reduced the expression of perimenopausal symptoms(3).

In take of phytoestrogen with function as weak estrogens, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory agents(6) plant based lignans, a chemical compoud found in flax seed, may be effective in ameliorated symptoms of peri menopause, according to the joint study lead University of Zurich(7),

The combination of formula RRF and Flax Seed  smoothie may hold a key in further studies in production of an effective natural ingredients for reduced the symptoms displacement and treatment of perimenopause without inducing adverse effects.

Women who are in the perimenopause stage should drink as much as they can, depending to the digestive toleration.

The finding of a natural source for reduced risk and treatment of Constipation with no adverse effects has exited may scientists community after many potential ingredients showed initially the promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in either large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Constipation is a condition of difficulty in bowel movements. Plum the natural sources of fruit has been suggested and used by folk medicine and dietitian for treatment of chronic constipation.
Plum is a genus of Prunus, containing over 15 species, relatives of the peach, nectarine and almond, belongs to family Rosaceae and native to northern Asia, Europe, North America and Africa's northwest coast. Today it is cultivated all over the globe for commercial purpose as foods and alcoholic drink. Dr. Stacewicz-Sapuntzakis M1. professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago suggested, phenolic compounds in dried plums may process the effects in the gastrointestinal tract including prevention of constipation and possibly colon cancer(1).

In an 8-week, single-blind, randomised cross-over study, conducted by the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, in the comparison of dried plums (prunes) vs. psyllium for constipation, said," dried plums are safe, palatable and more effective than psyllium for the treatment of mild to moderate constipation, and should be considered as a first line therapy"(2).

'Fiber 7', a natural powder fiber, including bran, adding to the dietary reduced the use of laxatives in 63 of the 92 patients (68.5%, 95% confidence interval 59-78%) with tolerated risk in a nursing home study(6)

The discover of combination ingredients of prune juice and fiber in reduced risk and treatment of constipation may serve as a cornerstone to contrive therapeutic experiment for further investigation.
