The finding of a natural source for reduced risk and treatment of Amenorrhea to replace the conventional medicne has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in either large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Amenorrhea is a women reproductive health condition of absence of period for at least three cycles (six months), excluding before puberty, during pregnancy, and after menopause.

Estrogen therapy significant increase of serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and LH response to GnRH were noted after recovery in patient with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA)(1).
According to the Keiju Medical Center, phytoestrogen found in black soy bean resumed the anovular menstrual cycle, suffering from secondary amenorrhea(2).

Injection of phytoestrogen orally may be benefits for women with Amenorrhea as it has shown to consist anti estrogenic and estrogenic(4) effect depending to the levels of estrogen of the patients.

According to University La Sapienza, in the study of a total of 134 women aged 25-35 years, who were infertile for at least 2 years and who had oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea associated with a positive menstrual response to the intramuscular progesterone-challenge test, showed that high dose of phytoestrogens increased follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and 17beta-estradiol plasma concentrations and can reverse the deleterious effects of clomiphene citrate on endometrial thickness and could contribute to higher pregnancy rates.(3).

Ginseng is a slow-growing perennial plants with fleshy roots, the genus Panax, belongings to the family Araliaceae. Depending to the climate where it grows, ginseng can be classified mainly into Panax ginseng Asian ginseng (root), Red ginseng, wild ginseng, American ginseng (root). The herb(Panax ginseng) may be used for treatment of reduced estrogen levels due to aging in women becaused of its ginsenoside Rb in exhibited phytoestrogen like effects(5).

According to the China Pharmaceutical University in ovariectomized mice study suggested that ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1) isolated from Panax ginseng, increased 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) concentration via its estrogen-like effect(6).

The effectiveness of Alfalfa Sprouts, Panax Ginseng Powder may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for for Reduced Risk of Consequences of Amenorrhea with little or no adverse effects.

Women who are pregnancy may want to stop drinking excessively. Otherwise, intake of
Smoothie of Alfalfa Sprouts, Panax Ginseng Powder may Reduced Risk and treatment of Amenorrhea

Keloid is a condition of forming of f irregular fibrous tissue at the site of a scar or injury.

Green tea containing 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 Southwest Jiaotong University, may be effective for treatment of keloid and safety to the skin through its capabilities of maintaining a moist environment, resisting bacterial infection and controlling the drug release when co-delivery with dexamethasone(1).

Other green tea phytochemical, polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate, also processed anti collagen accumulation and hyperproliferation of fibroblasts, through regulation of the cytokines and growth factors of gene Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT-3)(2)in promoting collagen production, cell proliferation and migration(3).

Dr. Zhang Q and colleagues at the University of Southern California said, " interaction between mast cells (MCs), and keloid fibroblasts may contribute to excessive collagen accumulation in keloids and imply a therapeutic potential of green tea for the intervention and prevention of keloids and other fibrotic diseases"(4).

Grape is a woody vines of the genus Vitis, belongings to the family Vitaceae, native to southern Turkey. Recent study suggested that its antioxidant resveratrol may be the next generation natural food source used for reduced risk and treatment in patients with Keloid(5), through expression of inhibited fibrogenesis and induced apoptosis.

Walnut tree is one of the Genus plant belongings to the family Juglandaceae cultivated for its nut and kernel and for commercial purpose all over the world. Its Omega 3 fatty acids is associated in reducing actively proliferating keloid fibroblasts, according to the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital(6).

Dr. Louw L, professor at the University of the Orange Free State said,"...the omega-3 series (a-linolenic acid (ALA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)) prevent the prevalent in keloid formations through regulation of fibroblast membrane EFAD of arachidonic acid (AA) precursors and inflammatory competitors(7).

The finding of the effectiveness of Green Tea, Grape and Walnut for Protection against formation of Keloid, through theirs phytochemicals may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies as well as a potential medication for treatment of Keloid.

People who are at high risk of Keloid formation. such as aging, genetic mutation genes,.....should drink at least one cup daily and people with Keloid should drink the juices as much as they can depending to 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,.

Upper respiratory tract infection

Upper respiratory tract infections are considered to be the infection of the airway above the glottis or vocal cords. This includes the nose, sinuses, pharynx, and larynx, including the infection of tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, etc,.

The Treatment

In herbal medicine perspective
1. Aromatic essential oils
In a prospective randomized double-blind controlled trial whose aim was to investigate the clinical effects of aromatic essential oils in patients with upper respiratory tract infections with 60 patients participated in the study (26 in the study group and 34 in the control group) conducted by the Faculty of Medicine, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, showed that spray application of five aromatic plants reported in this study brings about significant and immediate improvement in symptoms of upper respiratory ailment. This effect is not significant after 3 days of treatment(39).
2. Andrographis paniculata (KalmCold)
In a randomized, double blind placebo controlled clinical study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of KalmCold, an extract of Andrographis paniculata, in patients with uncomplicated upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), researchers at the King George Medical University, found that KalmCold group showed significant reduction (p < or = 0.05) in overall symptom scores as compared to placebo group. In both placebo and KalmCold treated groups, there were only a few minor adverse effects with no significant difference in occurrence (Z = 0.63; p > 0.05). The comparison of overall efficacy of KalmCold over placebo was found to be significant (p < or = 0.05) and it was 2.1 times (52.7%) higher than placebo(40).
3. Kan Jang
According to the study by Erebuni, Medical Centre, Yerevan, Armenia, in a double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical study was carried out to evaluate the effect of an Andrographis paniculata (N.) extract SHA-10 fixed combination, Kan Jang, in the treatment of acute upper respiratory tract infections, including sinusitis of ninety-five individuals in the treatment group and 90 individuals in the placebo group, showed that the individual symptoms of headache and nasal and throat symptoms together with general malaise showed the most significant improvement while cough and eye symptoms did not differ significantly between the groups. Temperature was moderately reduced in the verum group, and concluded that Kan Jang has a positive effect in the treatment of acute upper respiratory tract infections and also relieves the inflammatory symptoms of sinusitis(41). Other study, conducted by Research Institute of Pharmacology of Volgograd Medical Academy, indicated that the symptoms of the disease were less severe in the Kan Jang group. The effect of Kan Jang was particularly pronounced in two objective parameters, amount of nasal secretion g/day and nasal congestion. Kan Jang also accelerated the recovery time, whereas Immunal did not show the same efficacy. The use of standard medication was significantly less in the Kan Jang adjuvant group than in either the Immunal or standard treatment group. Kan Jang treatment was well tolerated and no side effects or adverse reactions(42).

The Smoothie of Carrot and Sweet Potato for Prevention and Treatment of Breast Fat NecrosisOoil cysts)

1 cup 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.
3. Serve immediately

Fat necrosis (oil cysts) are conditions of benign breast lesion caused by damage of fatty breast tissue due to injure. According to the University of Tokyo School of Medicine, Oil cysts are the worst outcome of fat grafting, as it may lead to long-term chronic inflammation persistence and calcification in progress without limits(1).

The finding of a natural source for reduced risk and treatment of fat necrosis and oil cysts to replace the conventional medicine has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Recent studies from well known institutions suggested that vitamin E(Sweet potato) may process naturally potential ingredients, for reduced risk and treatment for Fat necrosis (oil cysts). According to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board, 6 Persiaran Insitusi, higher adipose tissue concentrations of (vitamin E)tocotrienols in benign patients may provide protection against breast cancer(2).
Dr. Sylvester P and Dr., Shah SJ said,"dietary supplementation of tocotrienols may provide significant health benefits in lowering the risk of breast cancer in women"......through" antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects"(3).

Vitamin A, found abundantly in carrot also expressed protective effect of breast adipose tissue through its derivatives 9-cis beta-carotene and zeta-carotene from lactating women and serum and breast adipose tissue samples(4). According to the Tufts University, concentrations of the major serum carotenoids are correlated to breast adipose tissue carotenoid levels, as a substantial amount of 9-cis beta-carotenewas presented in adipose tissue had a significantly lower level in benign breast tumor patients(5).

The effectiveness of Carrot and Sweet Potato may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for for Reduced Risk and treatment of Breast Fat Necrosis (oil cysts) with little or no adverse effects.

Women who are at increased risk of Breast Fat Necrosis (oil cysts) may drink at least one serving daily and women with Breast Fat Necrosis (oil cysts) may drink as much as they can, depending to the digestive toleration.
Life style and dietary patter change are recommended.

The finding the natural ingredients for treatment of Retinitis pigmentosa is considered as a dream of many scientist to replace the long term 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.

Retinitis pigmentosa is an genetic degenerate eye disease, damaged to the retina of that can lead to severe vision impairment and blindness.
Recent studies suggested that scientist in some research centers have found the naturally potential ingredients, such as Carrot(1), green tea(3) and Almond(7) for reduced risk and treatment for

Eczema.

Carrot is root vegetable with orange color normally, a sub spices of Daucus carota, belongings to the family Apiaceae, native to Asian and Europe. Its vitamin A, a nutritional intake showed to modify the rate of decline of visual acuity in retinitis pigmentosa(1).

According to the Harvard Medical School, in the study of retinal degeneration in subgroups of patients with retinitis pigmentosa, suggested, diet rich in vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in almond for at least 2 years, slowed the decline in visual field sensitivity(2).In a randomized, controlled, double-masked trial of 225 nonsmoking patients, aged 18 to 60 years conducted by the Harvard Medical School, said, "Lutein supplementation of 12 mg/d slowed loss of midperipheral visual field on average among nonsmoking adults with retinitis pigmentosa taking vitamin A"(3).

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Because of their health benefits, they have been cultivated for commercial purposes all over the world. Green tea extract is considered as one of most powerful antioxidant in common herbal supplement ameliorated the onset and progression of human RP through inhibited the photoreceptor apoptosis in animal model(4).
According to the study by the Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, catechin is a polyphenolic antioxidant commonly found in green tea, inhibited RP cell migration and adhesion, thereby providing potential preventive actions against Age-Related Macular Degeneration(AMD)(5).

Almond consists of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed (nut) inside is native to the Middle East. It is most widely cultivated seed in the world for it economic and health benefit. Its phytochemical also exerted its antioxidant effect in inhibition of progression of retinitis pigmentos in many patients, according to the Harvard Medical School(6).

According to Dr. Hodge WG and colleagues at the University of Ottawa, in the review of 6 studies published between 1995 and 2004 met eligibility criteria, found that omega-3 fatty acids may slow the progression of retinitis pigmentosa, but definitive answers will require significantly more observational and interventional clinical research(7).

The combined green tea extract, vitamin A and omega 3 fatty acid found in green tea, carrot and almond respectively may contribute to further investigation of therapeutic natural ingredients for reduced risk and treatment of Retinitis pigmentosa.

People who are at increased risk of Retinitis pigmentosa due to aging or chronic illness should drink at least one serving daily and people with Retinitis pigmentosa should drink as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.

Most Common Diseases of elder: Upper respiratory tract infection(Respiratory Disease) Treatment In traditional Chinese medicne perspective

Upper respiratory tract infections are considered to be the infection of the airway above the glottis or vocal cords. This includes the nose, sinuses, pharynx, and larynx, including the infection of tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, etc,.

The Treatment

In traditional medicine perspective
1. Jing Fan Bai Du
In the study of the effect of two Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) formulae in treating acute upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs), diagnosed by Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and compared to placebo showed thatn two CHM formulae commonly used for URTIs were not found to be more effective than placebo in either cure or reduction of symptoms of URTIs. However, Jing Fan Bai Du san might be able to improve general health more than placebo for patients with wind-cold syndrome. Both formulae were not associated with any more side effects(43).
2. Herbs for cough such as chuanbei, fangfeng, jiegeng, gancao and baibu
In a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-control study comparing this TCM preparation with a placebo conducted in 82 patients who attended the Family Medicine Training Centre, Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong between November and December, 2003, found that the 62 patients (75.6%) had completed the trial and no adverse effects were reported. Both intervened and control groups had improved in cough score and LCQ in the follow-up period, despite no overall statistical significance was observed in the differences of scores between the two groups. Women taking TCM had significantly fewer problems with sputum production (p = 0.03) and older subjects (>35 years of age) reported a significant improvement in hoarseness (p = 0.05) when compared to those using placebo(44).
3. Other formulas
In the study to assess the efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicines for patients with sore throat, found that Six formulations were shown to be superior to the control in improving recovery: Ertong Qingyan Jiere Koufuye was more effective than Fufang Shuanghua Koufuye for acute pharyngitis (odds ratio (OR) 2.52; 95% confidence interval (Cl) 1.11 to 5.74);Yanhouling mixture was more effective than gentamicin atomised inhalation for acute pharyngitis (OR 5.39; 95% CI 2.69 to 10.81); Qinganlan Liyan Hanpian was more effective than Fufang Caoshanhu Hanpian for acute pharyngitis (OR 2.25; 95% CI 1.08 to 4.67); sore throat capsules were more effective than antibiotics (intravenous cefalexin) for acute pharyngitis or acute tonsillitis (OR 2.36; 95% CI 1.01 to 5.51); compound dandelion soup was more effective than sodium penicillin for acute purulent tonsillitis (OR 5.06; 95% CI 1.70 to 15.05); and eliminating heat by nourishing yin and relieving sore-throat methods combined with Dikuiluqan Hanpian was more effective than Dikuiluqan Hanpian alone for children with chronic pharyngitis (OR 2.63; 95% CI 1.02 to 6.79)(45).

The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of Cough

Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1/4 cup wolf berry
1/8 cup honey
1 3/4 cups orange juice

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 treatment of Cough without induced side 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.
Orange(1) and Wolfberry(4) Juice and Honey(6) in recent studies by renowned institution suggested that the combined ingredients may consist a potential effect for production of natural alternation in treating respiratory disease, including cough.

Cough is a continued reflection and natural reaction of lung to clear the large breathing passages from secretions, irritants, foreign particles, etc. or as a result of infection such as acute (less than 3 weeks) or chronic (over 5 weeks) respiratory diseases.Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, a water-soluble vitamin, found abundantly in orange juice, is best known for its free radical scavengers activity and regenerating oxidized vitamin E for immune support in reduced risk of "morning cough", "chronic cough", "wheeze" and "wheeze ever(1).

According to the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), intake of vitamin C exhibited protective effects against respiratory symptoms in comparison to those with lower intake(2).

Dr.Goldman RD at the Canadian Paediatric Society, Drug Therapy and Hazardous Substances Committee, suggested, use of over counter medicine for treatment of cough in adult populations when cough frequency and severity, may cause medication errors and adverse events(3). Therefore, cough and cold therapies should consider intake of vitamin C and other forms of natural sources instead(3).

Wolfberry, also known as lycium fruits is the common name for the fruit of two very closely related species, the genus of Lycium, belongings to family Solanaceae, native to native to southeastern Europe and Asia. has been found effective in treatment of various human infectious diseases, including cough, according to the Hazara University Mansehra, Pakistan(4).

Dr. Cassileth B, professor at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, said, " The berries of Lycium barbarum, a perennial plant native to Asia and southeastern Europe, have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine to treat poor vision, anemia, inflammation, and cough"(6).
The fruit water extract also exhibited anti-inflammatory effect for treatment of cough through suppression of pro inflammatory cytokines(5).
Honey, the rich golden liquid is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers, is considered as one of healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people. Recently, it is considered as effective treatment of childhood cough, persistent post-infectious cough, according to the joint study lead by the Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC)(7).

Dr. Ran D. Goldman, at the the College of Family Physicians of Canada said, "There is increasing evidence that a single dose of honey might reduce mucus secretion and reduce cough in children."(8).
In the study of honey for acute cough in children, Dr. Oduwole O and the research team at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (ITDR/P), insisted (without consideration of the adverse effect of conventional medicine of dextromethorphan) that honey may be better than 'no treatment' and diphenhydramine in the symptomatic relief of cough but not better than dextromethorphan(9).

Orange juice, containing the highest amount of vitamin C in comparison to other fruits may mimic the similar effects when use conjunction with wolf berry and honey for reduced risk and treatment of cough with no adverse effects.
