                            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,.

                     Lower respiratory tract infection

The lower respiratory tract infection are the infection consisting of the trachea (wind pipe), bronchial tubes, the bronchioles, and the lungs, including the bronchitis and pneumonia. According to The World Health Report 2004 – Changing History(1), in 2002 lower respiratory track infection were still the leading cause of deaths among all infectious diseases, and accounted for 3.9 million deaths worldwide and 6.9% of all deaths that year.

                                      Pneumonia

Pneumonia is a condition of the inflammation of the lung as a result of infection, caused by bacteria, such as bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae or influenza viruses in most cases. Fungi, such as Pneumocystis jiroveci, certain medication such as PPI Stomach Acid Drugs and other conditions such as impaired immune systems can also induced the disease.

The Complications

1. Cardiac complications
In the study of a total of 1343 inpatients and 944 outpatients with community-acquired pneumonia followed up prospectively for 30 days after presentation, showed that incident cardiac complications are common in patients with community-acquired pneumonia and are associated with increased short-term mortality. Older age, nursing home residence, preexisting cardiovascular disease, and pneumonia severity are associated with their occurrence. Further studies are required to test risk stratification and prevention and treatment strategies for cardiac complications in this population(45).
2. Mortality
Community-acquired pneumonia is the most common infectious cause of death in the US. In the study of a total of 2,654,955 cases of pneumonia from 1987-2005, found that during this period, the proportion treated as inpatients decreased, the proportion aged ≥80 years increased, and the frequency of many comorbidities rose. Adjusted incidence increased to 3096 episodes per 100,000 population in 1999, with some decrease thereafter. Age/sex-adjusted mortality decreased from 13.5% to 9.7%, a relative reduction of 28.1%. Compared with 1987, the risk of mortality decreased through 2005 (adjusted odds ratio, 0.46; 95% confidence interval, 0.44-0.47). This result was robust to a restriction on comorbid diagnoses assessing for the results’ sensitivity to increased coding(46).
3. Pleurisy
Pleurisy is defined as condition of the inflammation of the lining of the pleural cavity surrounding the lungs.There is a report of a 40-year-old female was admitted with right chest pain. SLE was absent from her past history, although she complained of polyarthralgia in winter. Atypical pneumonia/pleuritis was suspected by chest X-ray film, showing a nodular shadow in the right lower field and moderate pleural effusion. Chlamydia pneumonia was diagnosed by elevated anti-C. psittsci antibody, while characteristics of pleural fluid revealed serositis accompanied by SLE because of the high titered anti-DNA antibody and the low titered complement(47).
4. Lung diseases
Acute-onset diffuse interstitial lung disease (AoDILD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been a serious concern, especially for those under treatment with biological agents which may affect the presentation and outcome of AoDILD, including Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)(48).
5. Bacteremia
In the study to determine whether serotype 1 (SP1) invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) can be distinguished by demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics from IPD caused by the other most common serotypes (MCS) in the region: 5, 14, 6A, 6B, 19A, 19F, 23F of the study, found that
SP1 was found less frequently than MCS in children with underlying diseases, but was more frequent in older and Bedouin children with IPD. SP1was more frequently associated with bacteremic pneumonia and primary peritonitis than MCS grouped(49).
6. Endocarditis
There is a report of a case of mitral endocarditis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in a 43 year old man with history of alcohol abuse and cigarette smoking. The pneumococcal endocarditis was associated with pneumonia, meningitis and brain abscess. Only transesophageal echocardiography could confirm the presence of vegetation(50).
7. Respiratory acidosis
Respiratory acidosis is defined as a condition of which the lungs nolonger cannot remove all of the carbon dioxide produced by the body.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common complication of ventilatory support for patients with acute respiratory failure and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, according to the study by Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College(51).
8. Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
There is a report a case of severe pneumonia complicated by acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to primary infection with C. pneumoniae in a previously healthy 46-year-old woman(52).

The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of Hirsutism
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
2 g of licorice sipped in a cup of hot water, lipped for 5 minutes, and set a side for cooling to room temperature
1/2 cup carrot
1 1/2  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  Hirsutism 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.

Hirsutism is a form of skin diseases with abnormal growth of hair on a person's face and body, especially on a woman with PCOs as a result of over production of testosterone.

According to the recent reports of some well known institutions, The ingredient of natural sources, including green tea(1) may process of clinical values and promising potential for pharmaceutical use for production of next generation medicine for reduced risk and treatment of Hirsutism with little or no adverse effects.

Green tea, one of most common beverage originated from South East Asian now has been drunk and loved all over the world due to its commercial profits and health benefits.
According to the The Ben May Institute for Cancer Research, and The Tang Center for Herbal Medicine, green tea catechin (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG shows potent inhibition in cell-free but not in whole-cell assays of 5 alpha-reductase may be useful or the prevention or treatment of androgen-dependent disorders(3). Its phytochemical catechins, also expressed the strong anti 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone-dependent abnormalities by inhibiting accessory sex gland growth in animal study(4).
Dr Grant P1, Ramasamy S. said, "Green tea, which contains epigallocatechins and also inhibits 5-alpha reductase(exhibited androgen and estrogen metabolism in reduced the level of free testosterone in aging population), thereby reducing the conversion of normal testosterone into the more potent DHT"(2).

Carotenoids, a major chemical constituents found in carrot also process the inhibited effect of reduced androgen secretion and/or androgen action, and removal of terminal hair in Hirsutism of women with PCOs, according to the University of Verona(5).

Isotretinoin (INN) (etymology and pronunciation), also known as 13-cis retinoic acid, promoted antiandrogen effect for treatment in hirsutism and acne by acting as 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor(6).

Licorice, also known as sweetwood, is the genus Glycyrrhiza, belongings to the family Fabaceae, native to the Mediterranean and certain areas of Asia,  used in traditional medicine to treat treat skin diseases, coughs, constipation, bronchitis, inflammation, arthritis, etc.According to the joint study lead by the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, topical licorice effectively inhibited idiopathic hirsutism in women in a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled study was performed on 90 female subjects(7). In a review of total of 33 studies licorice reduced luteinising hormone (LH), prolactin, fasting insulin and testosterone, regulated ovulation, improved metabolic hormone profile and improved fertility outcomes in PCOS(8) of that promote the hormonal balancing of excess testoterone in production unwanted hair growth.

Dr. Armanini D and researchers at the University of Padua said, "licorice can reduce serum testosterone probably due to the block of 17-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17-20 lyase. Licorice could be considered an adjuvant therapy of hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome"(9).

The discover of smoothie containing green tea, carrot and licorice may act as a cornerstone for the next generation of effective natural sources in reduced risk and treatment of Hirsutism. Women with high risk of the disease due to family history, obesity should drink as least one serving daily. Women with chronic PCOs induced  Hirsutism should drink as much as they can, depending to the digestive toleration.

Life style and dietary change are recommended.

                            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,.

                     Lower respiratory tract infection

The lower respiratory tract infection are the infection consisting of the trachea (wind pipe), bronchial tubes, the bronchioles, and the lungs, including the bronchitis and pneumonia. According to The World Health Report 2004 – Changing History(1), in 2002 lower respiratory track infection were still the leading cause of deaths among all infectious diseases, and accounted for 3.9 million deaths worldwide and 6.9% of all deaths that year.

Pneumonia is a condition of the inflammation of the lung as a result of infection, caused by bacteria, such as bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae or influenza viruses in most cases. Fungi, such as Pneumocystis jiroveci, certain medication such as PPI Stomach Acid Drugs and other conditions such as impaired immune systems can also induced the disease.

                                                     Misdiagnosis

In a study of a total of 518 patients, more patients in 2005 had a hospital admission diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) without radiographic abnormalities compared to 2003 (2005, 91 patients [28.5%]; 2003, 41 patients [20.6%]; p = 0.04), and more patients received antibiotics within 4 h of triage (2005, 210 patients [65.8%]; 2003, 107 patients [53.8%]; p = 0.007). Blood cultures prior to antibiotic administration increased (2005, 220 patients [69.6%]; 2003, 93 patients [46.7%]; p < 0.001). However, the final diagnosis of CAP dropped to 58.9% in 2005 from 75.9% in 2003 (p < 0.001). The mean (+/- SD) antibiotic utilization per patient increased to 1.66 +/- 0.54 in 2005 compared to 1.39 +/- 0.58 in 2003 (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in PSI or CURB-65 scores, or mortality, according to St. John Hospital and Medical Center, linking antibiotic administration within 4 h of hospital admission (as a quality indicator) to financial compensation may result in an inaccurate diagnosis of CAP, inappropriate utilization of antibiotics, and thus less than optimal care(35).
According to medical malpractic help.com, the misdiagnosis of pneumonia include Influenza, or the flu, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, Acute bronchiti(36).
1. Coccidioides
There is a report of a case of a 66-year-old man who was status-post bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia was hospitalized with new onset rash, nausea, and vomiting and subsequently expired. A sputum culture collected on the day of death revealed heavy growth of C. recurvatus 6 days after collection. At autopsy, microscopic examination of the lungs revealed numerous thick-walled, nonbudding spherules ranging in size from 40 to 80 µm. Initial immunohistochemical staining of the formalin-fixed lung tissue was positive for Coccidioides(37).
2. Swine flu
There is a report of a 59-year-old man presented with a severe flu-like illness and widespread pulmonary infiltrates on chest x-ray. A rapid influenza direct test was positive and the patient was nursed in isolation. On subsequent review, a diagnosis of probable atypical pneumonia was made, which was confirmed with positive urinary serology for Legionella pneumophila and treatment with appropriate antibiotics was started(38). Another report of a case of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) in a renal transplant patient which was initially misdiagnosed as pandemic influenza H1N1(38a).
3. Tuberculosis
There is a report of a case of misdiagnosis of tuberculosis in a patient with pulmonary lymphogranulomatosis and destructive pneumonia in the presence of AIDS(39).
4. Adult-onset Still disease (AOSD)
Adult-onset Still disease (AOSD) is an uncommon inflammatory condition of unknown origin and pathogenesis. Pulmonary involvement is rare and includes pleuritis and transient radiological infiltrations. There is a report of two cases of AOSD characterized by lung involvement at presentation. Both were misdiagnosed as pneumonia with para-pneumo­nic effusion. We also discuss the difficulties in diag­nosis of AOSD with pulmonary infiltration(40).

The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis

Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1 1/4 cup cooked tomato
1/4 cup dulse
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 Hashimoto's thyroiditis without adverse effects in replacement of conventional medication has not been abated. Some ingredients have to discard because of not achieving the same potent results in human trials.
Green tea(1), tomato(5) and Dusle(8) may have a potential and therapeutic value for reduced risk and treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis probably due to theirs' phytochemicals  in immune modulating effects.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis is defined as a condition of inflammation of the thyroid gland as a result of an autoimmune disease of that can lead to hypothyriodism due to weakened thyroid function.
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. According to the Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, green tea polyphenols (GTPs) possess anti-inflammatory properties and are effective in inhibiting autoimmune diseases as well prevention of animal model of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT)(1).

Dr. Hisanaga A and research team at the Kagoshima University suggested, green tea catechins expressed the strong anti-inflammatory activity through down regulation of the levels of pro-inflammatory mediators, including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-12 (IL-12) (p70), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)....(2).

Furthermore, green tea EGCG, inhibited CD4(+) T cell expansion in response to either polyclonal or antigen specific stimulation, reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, expressed anti proinflammatory cytokines induced an autoimmune disease such as . Hashimoto's thyroiditis(3).

Beta-carotene, a chemical constituent found in tomato expressed a strong anti oxidative stress in induction of pathogenesis of several autoimmune disorders, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis(5).

According to the Fujita Health University School of Health Sciences, serum of beta carotene is associated to levels of inflammatory markers, through inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines(6).

Furthermore, In the study of beta-carotene, vitamin A and carrier proteins in thyroid diseases, Dr Aktuna D and researchers at thev showed that patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis is associated to lower levels of vitamin A(7).

Dulse is a red seaweed of genus Palmaria, belong to Family Palmariaceae that grows attached to rocks by a "holdfast" in the North Atlantic and Northwest Pacific,  used in Ireland and Atlantic Canada both as food and medicinally and is now shipped around the globe. Its chemical constituent

is associated to reduced risk  and treatment of patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis residing in an area of mild iodine deficiency(8).

Dr.Duntas LH said. " Iodine and selenium (Se) are both essential elements to thyroid hormone economy" and " iodine excess increases intra-thyroid infiltrating Th17 cells and inhibits T regulatory (TREG) cells development...", therefore maintaining right levels of iodine may be important for reduced the expression of the disease through intake of selenium in regulation of the auto immune dysfunction caused by iodine excess (9).

The finding of the effectiveness of Green tea, Carrot and Dulse for Protection against vitamin A and Iodine deficiency in induction of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, through theirs phytochemicals may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies as well as a potential medication for treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis

                            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,.

                     Lower respiratory tract infection

The lower respiratory tract infection are the infection consisting of the trachea (wind pipe), bronchial tubes, the bronchioles, and the lungs, including the bronchitis and pneumonia. According to The World Health Report 2004 – Changing History(1), in 2002 lower respiratory track infection were still the leading cause of deaths among all infectious diseases, and accounted for 3.9 million deaths worldwide and 6.9% of all deaths that year.

                                           Pneumonia

Pneumonia is a condition of the inflammation of the lung as a result of infection, caused by bacteria, such as bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae or influenza viruses in most cases. Fungi, such as Pneumocystis jiroveci, certain medication such as PPI Stomach Acid Drugs and other conditions such as impaired immune systems can also induced the disease.

                                                           The Causes

Viral causes of Pneumonia
1. Human bocavirus (HBoV)
According to the study of the clinical characteristics of human bocavirus (HBoV) infection in children, found that Among 843 cases, 90 were HboV positive (10.7%), 131 were respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) positive (15.5%), 117 were influenza virus positive (13.9%), 84 were parainfluenza virus positive (10.0%), 55 were rhinovirus positive (6.5%), 48 were coronavirus positive (5.7%), and 33 were human metapneumovirus positive (3.7%). Of the 90 HBoV infected patients, 45 (50%) showed a co-infection with other respiratory tract viruses. Among them, 33 were infected with one other type of virus (37%), 11 (12%) were infected with two other types of virus, and 1 case (1%) was infected with other three viruses. The HBoV positive rate in children with wheezing was significantly higher than those without wheezing (17.0% vs 9.2%; P<0.01)(8).
2. Legionnaires’ disease or HPIV 3
According to the study by Infectious Disease Division, Winthrop-University Hospital, the most common mimics of H1N1 pneumonia are Legionnaires’ disease or HPIV 3 in adults, and metapneumovirus or respiratory syncytial virus in children(9).
3. Human metapneumovirus
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a newly identified paramyxovirus causing lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). According to the strudy by School of Medicine, DPMSC, University of Udine, Italy, during a 15-month study period, 124 children were admitted due to presumptive CAP and, in 116 of them, CAP was radiologically confirmed that hMPV caused 0% to 17.5% of LRTI cases in children in the mini-review. The figure was about 5% in the present and in the only earlier paediatric CAP study. Thus, hMPV is a real but rare cause of paediatric CAP, although seroconversion to hMPV in most children takes place in early childhood(10).
4. Adenovirus
Adenovirus is a frequent cause of mild self-limiting upper respiratory tract infection, gastroenteritis, and conjunctivitis in infants and young children. There is a report of a case of severe adenovirus pneumonia in a young immunocompetent male who presented with sudden onset respiratory distress that progressed rapidly to respiratory failure and made a successful recovery on supportive measures. Systematic review of the literature identified 14 cases of severe adenovirus pneumonia (defined as respiratory failure requiring ventilatory support at any point during the course of illness) in otherwise healthy immunocompetent adults both in epidemic and community settings(11).
5. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
According to the study by Department of Medicine, University of Manitoba, H1N1 2009 has emerged as an important cause of ARDS in 2009-2010(12).
6. Other virus
Pleural effusion (PE), a complication of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), is usually attributed to a bacterial infection. According to the study by Federal University of Bahia School of Medicine, found that in the study bacterial and viral infections among 277 children hospitalized with CAP, among these children 206 (74%) had radiographic confirmation, of whom 25 (12%) had PE. The aetiology was established in 18 (72%) PE cases: bacterial (n = 5; 28%), viral (n = 9; 50%), and viral-bacterial (n = 4; 22%) infections were found.

The smoothie for reduced risk and Treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1  cup tomato
1/2 cup grape
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green 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 treatment of Cirrhosis 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 potential in large sample size and multi center.

Cirrhosis is a condition of irreversible scarring liver as a result of liver tissue by fibrosis due to final phase of chronic liver diseases of that can lead to poor function of the liver and liver failure. According to the statistics, Number of discharges with chronic liver disease or cirrhosis as the first-listed diagnosis: 101,000 in 2009 and Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.3 in 2010(1). Hepatitis B infection cause of the disease is very prevalent in South-East Asia.

According to the studies reported by some respectable institutions, Green tea may process the anti Cirrhosis effects through expression antixiodant effects. 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 study lead by Dr. Safer AM, Green Tea Extract (GTE) encapsulated into Chitosan Nanoparticles (CS-NPs) removed all the extracellular collagen caused by CCl4, a ligand for the primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in the hepatic fibrosis rat liver(2).

In animal model, Chitosan Nano-Encapsulated Green Tea expressed the healing ratio of heals nearly 25% of the sub-cellular area infected with hepatic fibrosis(3),

In the study of liver disease with green tea consumption, by searching the data bases of PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang and Weipu, Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University Guangzhou firmly suggested the effectiveness of green tea in reduced risk of liver disease. However, more long term randomized clinical trials are needed to comprehensively evaluate the health benefits(4).

Naringenin, an phytochemical found in Citrus fruits, including orange attenuated the expression of liver fibrosis by exhibiting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities(5).

According to the Annamalai University, application of naringenin promoted the expression of therapeutic potential in the abatement of ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity by reduced the toxic levels, including serum aspartate and alanine transaminases, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, tissue thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(6).

Furthermore, According to dr. Hermenean A and research team at the Vasile Goldis Western University of Arad, the flavonoid naringenin (NGN), exerted antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects against injuries induced by CCl4, a natural ligand for the primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)(7).

Flavonoids, a group of plant phytochemicals found abundantly in apple may consist a numbers of health benefit through its effects in cell signalling pathways and antioxidant activity. According to the Chinese study, flavonoids, attenuate the risk of thioacetamide-induced hepatic fibrosis through mechanism  related to the down-regulation of the protein expressions of TGF-β1 in controlling the expression of proliferation, differentiation, and Caspase-3 in cell apoptosis(8).
The phytochemical , flavonoids found in the the extracts of pomegranate peels (EPP) and seeds (EPS) also exerted the protective effects against liver fibrosis induced by CCl4, through restored the decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities and inhibited the formation of lipid peroxidized products(9).
Dr. Yuan LP and colleagues at the College of Pharmacy, Anhui Medical University said,"(the) total flavonoids of Bidens bipinnata L.b was able to ameliorate liver injury and protect rats from CCl4-induced liver fibrosisby suppressing oxidative stress" through " inhibiting the induction of NF-kappaB (proinflammatory signaling pathway) on hepatic stellate cell activation and the expression of TGF-beta1 in controlling cells proliferation, differentiation"(10).

The combined ingredient found in green tea, orange and apple may contribute to further investigation of therapeutic natural ingredients for reduced risk and treatment of Cirrhosis .
People who are at increased risk of Cirrhosis due to family history, genetic mutation,... should drink at least one serving daily and people with Cirrhosis should drink as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.

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

Endometriosis is a condition of endometrial tissues grown outside the Due to its reaction to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, building up tissues, breaking it and eliminating it through menstrual period, endometriosis also cause severe pelvic pain.

Recent studies suggested that scientist in some research centers have found the naturally potential ingredients of antioxidant supplementation in ameliorated endometriosis-associated symptoms, including vitamin C(1), E(1) and A(2).

Sweet potato is a large, starchy, sweet tasting tuberous roots vegetable, genus Ipomoea, belongings to the family Convolvulaceae. The root vegetable contains a highest amount of vitamin A in comparison to other foods in the same content,

According to the joint study lead by the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, the impairment of retinoic acid biosynthesis involved in the transport of retinol (vitamin A alcohol) from the liver storage site to peripheral tissue.is associated to the development of human and murine endometriosis(3).

Dr. Sokalska A and research team at the University of California said, " the expression of the key protein regulating the uptake of retinol (STRA6) and the expression of apoptosis-promoting CRABP2,....may contribute to cooperative apoptosis-inducing effects of simvastatin and RA and support the examination of these compounds in the treatment of endometriosis" in the investigation of the effects of simvastatin on retinoic acid system against endometriosis(4).

Vitamin C, alangeso known as L-ascorbate, a water soluble vitamin with a chemical structure formula of C6H6O6 found abundantly in orange is  best known for it's antioxidant property in strengthening the immune system against any inflammatory diseases, including endometriosis(1).
In experimental endometriotic cysts study, vitamin C in dose-dependent ameliorated the volumes and weights of the endometriotic cysts(5).

According to the Instituto Nacional de Perinatología, regular intake of vitamin C and E, lowered oxidative stress marker levels in attenuated the symptoms of endometriosis(6).

In fact, intake of vitamin C and  vitamin E expressed a a positive association between the pathology development and the lipoperoxidation status in women with endometriosis(7).

Vitamin E, best known for its powerful antioxidant property a fat soluble vitamin found abundantly
in sunflower seed. According to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangdong Province, intake of vitamin E in patient with endonetriosis decreased oxidative stress, as well as improved mature oocyte rates and fertilization rates(8).

In fact, regular intake of "vitamin E from food sources are found inversely related to endometriosis risk" Dr. Darling AM and colleagues at the joint study lead by the Harvard School of Public Health said.
The discovery of combined ingredients of Sweet Potato, Orange and Sunflower Seed may act as a cornerstone for induction of further investigation of the effectiveness of natural smoothie in reduced risk and treatment of Sweet Potato, Orange and Sunflower Seed.

Women who are at increased risk of Sweet Potato, Orange and Sunflower Seed due to family history, ... may drink one or 2 servings a day, women with endometriosis should drink as much as they can depending to the digestive alternation.
Life style and dietary pattern change are recommended.
