                            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.

                                Treatment

 In conventional medicine perspective
Antibiotics are the most effective medication used to treat pneumonia. Other medication used conjunction with antibiotics can be helpful in relieving breathing and symptoms.
1. Antibiotics
Pneumonia caused by bacterial pathogens is the leading cause of mortality in children in low-income countries. In a review to identify effective antibiotics for community acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children by comparing various antibiotics, conducted by All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Ansari Nagar, indicated that for treatment of ambulatory patients with CAP, amoxycillin is an alternative to co-trimoxazole. With limited data on other antibiotics, co-amoxyclavulanic acid and cefpodoxime may be alternative second-line drugs. For severe pneumonia without hypoxia, oral amoxycillin may be an alternative to injectable penicillin in hospitalised children; however, for ambulatory treatment of such patients with oral antibiotics, more studies in community settings are required. For children hospitalised with severe and very severe CAP, penicillin/ampicillin plus gentamycin is superior to chloramphenicol. The other alternative drugs for such patients are ceftrioxone, levofloxacin, co-amoxyclavulanic acid and cefuroxime. Until more studies are available, these can be used as a second-line therapy69).
Side effects are not limit to soft stools or diarrhea, mild stomach upset, etc.
2. Antivirals
Parainfluenza viruses affect the upper respiratory tract in all age group patients, in children aged 6 months to 3 years in particular. In the study to investigate the antiviral activity of Ingavirin (2-(imidazole-4-yl) ethanamide of pentandioic-1,5 acid) on a model of parainfluenza infection in Syrian hamsters, showed that the drug was shown to restrict the infectious process in animal lung tissue. This restriction manifested itself as reductions in the infectious titer of parainfluenza virus in the lung tissue, in the degree of pulmonary edema and tissue cell infiltration, and in virus-specific lesion of bronchial epithelial cells(70). Side effects are not limit to dizziness, fatigue, joint or muscle pain, headache, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss, insomnia, etc.
3. Other Supportive treatment to reduce symptoms, include
Fever and pain reducers such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen or acetaminophen, etc. and cough medicine.

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of  melasma

Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)

3/4 cup blueberry
3/4 cup grape

1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and let cool 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.

3. Serve immediately

The finding of a natural source for treatment of  melasma 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 study lead by renowned institutions conveyed that green tea(1) may be holding a key for extracting natural ingredient for reduced early onset and treatment of melasma. Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate. According to the University of Minnesota, green tea polyphenols confer protective effects on the skin against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-induced acceleration of skin aging, including pigmentation abnormalities such as melasma, freckles, senile lentigines, and other forms of melanin hyperpigmentation(1).

Melasma, is a common skin problem, causes of hyperpigmentation with brown to gray-brown patches on the face.

Glycolic Acid found abundantly in Blueberry and strawberry showed improvement in melasma on both sides of the face with tolerated adverse effects(2)
.Dr. Sharad J. Dr at the Skinfiniti Aesthetic Skin and Laser Clinic, said, "Glycolic acid peel is the most common alpha-hydroxy acid peel, also known as fruit peel. It is simple, inexpensive, and has no downtime. This review talks about various studies of glycolic acid peels for various indications, such as acne, acne scars, melasma, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, photoaging, and seborrhea"(3).

The combination of glycolic acid peeling with topical regimen(2% hydroquinone, 1% hydrocortisone and 0.05% tretinoin) in patients of moderate to severe epidermal variety melasma is highly effective,
safe and promising therapeutic option in treatment of melasma(4).In dark-skinned patients with melasma, serial glycolic acid peels used combination with topical cream provide an additional effect in the treatment of melasma, according to the Government Medical College and Hospital(5).

The finding of the effectiveness of Green Tea, Grape and Blue Berry may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies as well as a potential medication for treatment of  melasma.

People who are at increased risk of melasma due to family history,occupations,....should drink the juices at least one a day. People with melasmae should drink the juice as much as  as they can depending to digestive toleration.
Life style and diet pattern 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

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 th  e disease.

                        Prevention

Diet to prevent pneumonia
1. Garlic
Garlic is the natural superfood healer for its natural antibiotic with antiviral, antifungal, anticoagulant and antiseptic properties. Garlic cooked is fine but it loses many of its health-giving powers.
There is a report of a case of a critically ill infant with severe multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia and bacteremia who was treated with garlic and antibiotics after in vitro demonstration of a change in the resistance pattern via the disc diffusion method on garlic-treated Mueller Hinton agar. To our knowledge, this is the first report of therapeutic garlic use in a critically ill infant in the literature(56).
2. Green tea
In a population-based cohort study to examine the association between green tea consumption and death from pneumonia in humans, with follow-up from 1995 to 2006., showed that Over 12 y of follow-up, we documented 406 deaths from pneumonia. In women, the multivariate HRs of death from pneumonia that were associated with different frequencies of green tea consumption were 1.00 (reference) for <1 cup/d, 0.59 (95% CI: 0.36, 0.98) for 1-2 cups/d, 0.55 (95% CI: 0.33, 0.91) for 3-4 cups/d, and 0.53 (95% CI: 0.33, 0.83) for > or =5 cups/d, respectively (P for trend: 0.008). In men, no significant association was observed(52).
3. Turmeric
Curcumin derived from the rhizome of turmeric has been used for decades and it exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, immunomodulatory properties by downregulation of various inflammatory mediators,. according to the study by Panjab University, Curcumin alone and in combination with augmentin protects against pulmonary inflammation and acute lung injury generated during Klebsiella pneumoniae B5055-induced lung infection in BALB/c mice(58).
4. Citrus fruits, berries
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen that colonizes at the mucosal surfaces in humans and causes severe diseases. Many clinical strains of K. pneumoniae are highly resistant to antibiotics. In the study of flavonols galangin, myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol, bearing different numbers of hydroxyl substituent on the aromatic rings, to test whethermay inhibit dNTP binding of the primary replicative DnaB helicase of K. pneumoniae (KpDnaB), an essential component of the cellular replication machinery critical for bacterial survival, found that these flavonol compounds may be used in the development of new antibiotics that target K. pneumoniae and other bacteria(59).

The smoothie for reduced symptoms and treatment of irregular menstruation
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1/4 cup bell pepper
3/4 cup sweet potato

1/2 cup pineapple
1 cup of rice milk

1. Place all ingradietns 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 irregular menstruation without adverse effects in replacement of conventional medication has no through antioxidant t been abated. Some ingredients have to discard due to it can achieve the same potent results in human trials.

Recent studies suggested that pepper fruits (Capsicum annuum L.)(1), sweet potato(4) and pineapple(5) 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.

Irregular menstruation or period is defined as condition in which a woman is experience abnormal variation of length of the menstrual cycle. While the normal menstrual cycle is 28-35 days, women who are experience with irregular menstrual cycle can have a length variation between 8 and 20 days or shorter than 21 days, or longer than 36 days

Phenolic acid glycossides found hot pepper fruits(1) and herbal medicine such as rhizomes of Polygonum paleaceum(2) exerted anti irregular menstruation effects through exhibition of free radical-scavenging activity(2). According to the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Science, a new phenolic glycoside isolated from Balanophora involucrata HOOK.f. & THOMSON (Balanophoraceae), also displayed antioxidant properties in attenuated the expression of free radicals(3).

Vitamin E, best known for its powerful antioxidant property is a fat soluble vitamin found abundantly in sweet potato plays an essential role in regulation of normal menstrual period(4).Low serum vitamin E concentration is associated to irregular menstrual function in in athletes, according
to reported by Dr. Tomten SE Dr, Høstmark AT(4).

Melatonin, best known for its function in induced sleep, found abundantly in pineapples may also have an direct influence against irregular menstruation(5). According to the Yamaguchi University School of Medicine, abnormal plasma melatonin concentration in most of the women with an anovulatory cycle or amenorrhea was within the range of the mean level of +/- 1.5 x the standard deviation obtained from the 20 women with a regular menstrual cycle(5).

Dr.Miyauchi F and colleagues at the Ehime Rosai Hospital said, " The incidence (of irregular menstrual cycle)was significantly higher in women working at night than women working during the day" plasma concentrations of melatonin and prolactin at 0200 h were significantly lower in nurses of the working group than others of the resting group"(6).

The combination of Bell Pepper, Sweet potato and Pineapple smoothie may hold a key in further studies in production of an effective natural ingredients to reduce risk and treatment of irregular menstruation without inducing adverse effects.

Women who are at higher risk of irregular menstruation due to family history, obesity,...should take at least one serving daily. Women with irregular menstruation should drink as much as they can depending to the digestive toleration.

The finding of a natural source for treatment of Chronic 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) with or without Low Fat Milk 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. 

Chronic cough is a condition of coughing lasting more than eight weeks in adult and 4 weeks in children, affecting night time sleep caused by some underlying health problems, including astroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

In conventional medicine, gabapentin and morphine are prescribed most frequently as top medication to treat and induced positive effects on cough-related quality of life, but only gabapentin was recommended(9).

In traditional Chinese medicine, the formula Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa has shown effectively in treatment of chronic cough and other condition such as sore throat, coughs, hoarseness, and loss of voice. You can buy them in any Chinese herbal store about $7.00 CAN. According to the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, King To Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa had significant cough relieving and sputum removing effects through its anti inflammaoty activties(10).

According to University of Turin, patients with unexplained chronic cough are associated to vitamin B12 deficiency(3), as the vitamin supplement significantly improved symptoms and laryngeal, bronchial, and cough thresholds in oral administration.

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(11).

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.

People who are at increased risk of Chronic cough , due to family history, smoking,....should drink the juices at least one a day. People with Chronic cough should drink the juice as much as as they can depending to digestive toleration.
Life style and diet pattern change are recommended.

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of  Liver disease
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1 cup blueberry
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, and let cool to room temperature)

The finding of a natural source for treatment of  Liver disease   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.

Liver disease or hepatic disease is defined as a condition of damage of liver or inflammatory causes of diseases to the liver.
Recent reports of study back by renowned institutions, conveyed that green tea(1) may be holding a key for extracting natural ingredient for reduced early onset and treatment of liver diseases.

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate. According to the Saitama Cancer Center Research Institute,, regular intake of green tea drink is associated to protective effects against liver diseases(1).

In eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice, fed a normal chow diet or high-fat diet (HFD) for 17 weeks, intake of pu-erh tea extract (PTE) ameliorated hepatic lipid metabolism, inflammation, and insulin resistance functions through by modulating hepatic IL-6/STAT3 signaling, the pro inflammatory pathway(2).

Dr. Yin X and colleagues at joint study lead by the Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University, regardless of the race of the individual concerned where the Asian, American and European, green tea reduced risk of liver diseases, including hepatitis,hepatocellular carcinoma, liver steatosis, chronic liver disease,....(3).

Resveratrol, found abundantly in grape and blueberry,  is a plant-derived polyphenol with a potential as a food source to extend lifespan and healthspan in model organism. According to the University of Kansas Medical Center, the phytochemical exerted liver protective effects in xenobiotic-induced liver injury and other forms of liver injury(4). Also in acetaminophen hepatotoxicity causes of cause of acute liver injury and liver failure, resveratrol protected against Overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) hepatotoxicity through exhibiting antioxidant effects and preventing mitochondrial release of enzyme endonucleases and nuclear DNA damage(5).
Furthermore, the phytochemical may also be potential in reduced risk and treatment of liver fibrosis via the regulation of pro inflammatory, Akt/NF-κB pathways(6).

Pterostilbene, another antioxidant found in bluebrerry, used conjunction with resveratrol (RESV) expressed genotoxic and/or antigenotoxic effects through pro-apoptotic activity in HepG2 cells lines(7). Furthermore, pterostilbene also is potential against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity(8), dimethylnitrosamine-induced liver fibrosis(9), plasma lipoproteins and cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic(10).

The finding of the effectiveness of Green Tea, Grape and Blue Berry may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies as well as a potential medication for treatment of  Liver disease.

People who are at increased risk of  Liver disease, due to family history, alcohol drinking,....should drink the juices at least one a day. People with  Liver disease should drink the juice as much as  as they can depending to digestive toleration.
Life style and diet pattern 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

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.

                                  Prevention

 Antioxidants to prevent pneumonia
1. Hyperbaric oxygenation as antioxidant
In the study to use Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in a complex intensive therapy of 194 children, aged 3 days to 3 years, with severe pneumonias, showed that initially the patients have revealed intensification of free radical processes (FRP) with a simultaneous decrease in the level of enzyme and non-enzyme protection and a drastic increase in gluco- and mineralocorticoid adrenal function. HBO and antioxidants (unithiol and alpha-tocopherol) yielded excellent and good results (a drop in FRP level and activation of enzyme antioxidant protection) in 75.8% of patients. HBO was ineffective in 17% of cases, in 7.2% of patients signs of the developing oxygen intoxication have been revealed(65).
2. Vitamin D
In the study to determine the role of oral vitamin D supplementation for resolution of severe pneumonia in under-five children in Two hundred children [mean (SD) age: 13.9 (11.7) months; boys: 120] between 2 months to 5 years with severe pneumonia, showed that Short-term supplementation with oral vitamin D (1000-2000 IU per day for 5 days) has no beneficial effect on resolution of severe pneumonia in under-five children. Further studies need to be conducted with higher dose of Vitamin D or longer duration of supplementation to corroborate these findings(66).
3. Zinc
Diarrhoeal disorders and acute respiratory infections (ARIs), especially pneumonia, are the most common causes of death in low-income countries. According to teh study by the Departments of Community Medicine and Child Health, Christian Medical College, zinc supplementation had no overall effect on the duration of hospitalization or of clinical signs associated with severe infection in young children hospitalized for severe pneumonia in southern India. This finding differs from the results of 2 previously reported trials wherein zinc supplementation was associated with a shorter period of recovery from severe pneumonia. Given the conflicting results, further research in representative settings is required to help clarify the role of zinc in the treatment of severe pneumonia(67).
4. Vitamin-A, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid and zinc
In a cross-sectional and controlled clinical trial conducted in under-5 children to compare the effects of supplementation of five micronutrients (vitamin-A, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid and zinc) on the morbidity and on the duration of hospital stay in pneumonia, by Rangpur Medical College, found that the average duration of hospital staying was 6.75 days in intervention group and 7.75 days in control group (p<0.01). Chest indrawing and fast breathing disappeared earlier in the intervention group (p<0.01) suggesting that supplementation of micronutrients decrease the morbidity and duration of hospital stay of children suffering from pneumonia(68).
