The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Nephrogenic Hypertension (Goldblatt kidney)
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each) 1 1/4 cup sweet potato
1/4 cup fax seed
1 cup grape

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 Nephrogenic Hypertension (Goldblatt kidney) 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.

Nephrogenic Hypertension (Goldblatt kidney) is a medical condition of damage kidney causing decreased blood flow, and thus oxygen supply, to the kidneys (ischemia) in triggering hypertension.

Alpha-tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E acetate) induced a positive effect on the renal function in patient, through reduction of highly-toxic products of lipid peroxidation, improvement of renal microcirculation, reduction of ischemic disorders in the organs of the body(1).
According to an Russian study, highly-toxic products of lipid peroxidation in patients with nephrogenic hypertension may be an indication of chronic kidney failure(2).
3‑n‑butylphthalide (NBP), a natural product of celery seeds exhibited anti Nephrogenic Hypertension effect by alleviated tubular impairment and significantly decreased oxidative stress, as well as the expression of pro‑inflammatory cytokines and TGF-‑β1 in kidney tissues(3).

Resveratrol is a phytochemical in the class of Stilbenoids, found abundantly in skins and seed of grape wine, nuts, peanuts, etc.may also .benefits patient with renal hypertension, involving antioxidant actions and nitric oxide generation(4).
Dr. Javkhedkar AA and Dr. Banday AA said, "resveratrol restores renal sodium transport regulation in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)"...." (thr, Drough)activates phase II antioxidant enzymes, mitigates oxidative stress,...."(5).
In the investigation of the effectiveness of Flax lignan cardioprotective, antihyperlipidemic effect Dr.Sawant SH1 and Dr. Bodhankar SL.suggested "flax lignan concentrate (FLC) possessed antihypertensive effect via modulation of endogenous enzymes in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt induced renal hypertension in rats"(6).

The effectiveness of Sweet Potato, Flax seed and Grape may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for reduced risk, complications and treatment of Nephrogenic Hypertension (Goldblatt kidney) with little or no adverse effects.

People who are at high risk of Nephrogenic Hypertension (Goldblatt kidney) due to aging, weaken renal function... should drink at least one serving daily and women with Nephrogenic Hypertension (Goldblatt kidney) should drink no more than 4 servings daily, depending to digestive toleration.
Life style and diet pattern change are necessary.

                                          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,.

                   Pleural disease: Pleural effusion

The pleura is a thin tissue covered by a layer of cells (mesothelial cells) that surrounds the lungs and lines the inside of the chest wall.
Pleural effusion is a condition of collection of fluid within the pleural cavity as a result of heart failure, bleeding (hemothorax), infections, excessive or decreased fluid volume, etc.

                              Diseases associated to Pleural effusion

1. Polymyalgia rheumatica
Polymyalgia rheumatica is an inflammatory rheumatic disease that presents with bilateral pain and stiffness affecting mainly proximal muscles. According to the study by Hospital Infanta Elena, there is a report of a case of an 80 years old patient presenting polymyalgia rheumatica coinciding with pleuropericardial effusion. The patient had a very good response to treatment with rapid improvement in the symptomatology and laboratory findings. Polymyalgia Rheumatica is a common disease but it is rarely associated to pleuropericardial effusion(40).

2. Bilateral Ovarian Fibrothecoma
There is a report of a black African woman of 35 years old, seventh gravida and fourth parous, undergone a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy for large bilateral ovarian masses associated with significant ascites, bilateral pleural effusion, and particular highly elevated tumor marker CA-125 (1835 UI/mL) in a pronounced general alteration condition(41).

3. Liver cirrhosis
Hepatic hydrothorax is the paradigmatic pleural effusion in liver cirrhosis.The estimated prevalence of this complication in patients with liver cirrhosis is 5 to 6%. Its pathophysiology involves movement of ascitic fluid from the peritoneal cavity into the pleural space through diaphragmatic defects, according to the study by Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge(42).

4. Cardiac failure
In the study to compare the diagnostic utility of pleural fluid N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), mid-region pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) and mid-region pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) for discriminating heart failure (HF)-associated effusions, found that
both NT-proBNP and the albumin gradient correctly identified more than 80% of those cardiac effusions misclassified as exudates by standard criteria(43).

5. Kidney failure
Acute kidney failure is associated to 5.1% of pleural effusion, according to the study by t
he University of The West Indies(44).

6. Autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIH)
there is areport of a case of AIH presented with massive proteinuria, haematuria, pleural fluid and arthritis simulating SLE(45).

7. Lung cancer
Pleural effusions are common in the setting of lung cancer. In the symptomatic patient with a reasonable life expectancy and pleural fluid pH of more than 7.3, chemical pleurodesis appears to be the most effective and least morbid therapy(46).

8. Tuberculosis (TB)
In a prospective study of 118 patients with pleural effusion, tuberculosis (TB) diagnosed in 112. In 84 patients the diagnosis of TB was made by detection of acid-fast bacilli by stain (auramine, Ziehl-Neelsen) or by culture of mycobacteria (Löwenstein-Jensen medium) in pleural fluid or pleural tissue (obtained by closed biopsy) or by the presence of caseating granulomas in histological sections(47).

9. Other diseases associated to Pleural effusion
According to the study by Zavod za klinicku imunologiju i reumatologiju Klinike za unutarnje bolesti Medicinskog fakulteta Sveucilista u Zagrebu, the most common conditions associated with eosinophilic pleural effusion (EPE) are malignancy, infections, post-traumatic and post-surgical conditions, hypersensitivity, systemic autoimmune diseases, congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, pulmonary embolus, asbestosis and drug induced EPE. Pleural effusion accompanying autoimmune diseases is most common in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, howewer it rarely occurs in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis and polymiositis. EPE has rarely been reported in association with Churg Strauss syndrome(48).

Goodpasture syndrome is an autoimmune disorder, due to immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy tissue of collagen in the lungs and kidneys. According to Medscape, Goodpasture syndrome is a term used to describe glomerulonephritis, with or without pulmonary hemorrhage(9).

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Goodpasture syndrome(glomerulonephritis)
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1/2 cup olive
1 cup blueberry
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 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 glomerulonephritis 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.

Glomerulonephritis is a disorder of small blood vessels in the kidneys caused by the infection of streptococcus, bacteria and virus.
Recent studies back by well known institutions proposed, Green tea, Olive and Blueberry may be the next generation of natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of glomerulonephritis.

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 Dr.Turner JE, green tea component (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) mediated glomerulonephritis through ameliorates renal inflammation, tissue damage, and loss of renal function(1).

The Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital of Tongji University study, suggested, EGCG pretreatment period significantly attenuated mortality and renal dysfunction in the progression of immune-mediated glomerulonephritis (GN) by targeting redox and inflammatory pathways(2).

Furthermore, the phytochmical also reversed the progression of crescentic GN by targeting multiple signaling and inflammatory pathways and countering oxidative stress(3).

Resveratrol, a phytochemical in the class of Stilbenoids, found abundantly in grape and blueberry reduced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduced cell apoptosis, and upregulated heme oxygenase 1 (HO1) in patients with Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (MN)(4).

The Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy study said, "resveratrol attenuated proteinuria, immunoglobuin depositon in kidney, and glomerulonephritis as well as immunoglobulins IgG1 and IgG2a in serum in pristane-induced lupus mice"(5).

Omega 3 fatty acids found abundantly in olive might be beneficial for patients with glomerulonephritis through its effects on lipid metabolism, platelet/vessel wall interactions and proteinuria(6) as well as functional status of erythrocyte membrane and probably proximal tubule function(7).

The effectiveness of Green tea, Olive and Blueberry may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for reduced risk, complications and treatment of Goodpasture syndrome (Glomerulonephritis)with little or no adverse effects.

People who are at high risk of Goodpasture syndrome (Glomerulonephritis) due to aging, weaken reno function... should drink at least one serving daily and women with Goodpasture syndrome (Glomerulonephritis) should drink no more than 4 servings daily, 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,.

                   Pleural disease: Pleural effusion

The pleura is a thin tissue covered by a layer of cells (mesothelial cells) that surrounds the lungs and lines the inside of the chest wall.
Pleural effusion is a condition of collection of fluid within the pleural cavity as a result of heart failure, bleeding (hemothorax), infections, excessive or decreased fluid volume, etc.

                     The Complications      
             
1. Primary Sjogren’s syndrome
Sjogren’s syndrome can cause many organic changes, but is rarely accompanied by pleuritis. there is a report of a 65-year-old patient with primary Sjogren’s syndrome who developed bilateral pleuritis with moderately large effusions(35).
2. Pleurisy
Pleurisy is a medical condition of an inflammation of the lining of the pleural cavity. In the study to investigate the incidence of tuberculous pleurisy among patients with adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels of 50 IU/L or less in a pleural effusion, and without a previous diagnosis of carcinomatous pleurisy or Mycobacterium tuberculosis, found that occult tuberculous pleurisy is significantly common in patients with pleural effusion ADA levels of 50 IU/L or less and who may otherwise be diagnosed with nonspecific pleurisy(36).
3. Dullness to percussion and tactile fremitus and reduced tactile vocal fremitu
In the systematically review the evidence regarding the accuracy of the physical examination in assessing the probability of a pleural effusion conducted by the University of Toronto, and St Michael’s Hospital, indicated that dullness to percussion and tactile fremitus are the most useful findings for pleural effusion. Dull chest percussion makes the probability of a pleural effusion much more likely but requires a chest radiograph to confirm the diagnosis. When the pretest probability of pleural effusion is low, the absence of reduced tactile vocal fremitus makes pleural effusion less likely so that a chest radiograph might not be necessary depending on the overall clinical situation(37).
4. Tracheal deviation
If the effusion is large, it may be tracheal deviation away from the effusion. According to the study by Kumomoto-chuou Hospital, there is a report of a 33-year-old male admitted to our hospital because of mediastinal bleeding by the traffic accident. He was in shock state. Chest roentgenogram showed widening of the upper mediastium, massive pleural effusion and deviation trachea to right(38).
5. Other complications
In the study to independently evaluate 278 patients (196 men), aged 12 and older, admitted with respiratory symptoms.conducted at a rural hospital in India, two physicians, blinding to history and chest radiograph findings, and to each other’s results, showed that the prevalence of pleural effusion was 21% (57/278). The likelihood ratios (LRs) of positive signs ranged from 1.48 to 8.14 and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) excluded 1. Except for pleural rub, the LRs for negative signs ranged between 0.13 and 0.71. The interobserver agreement was excellent for chest expansion, vocal fremitus, percussion and breath sounds (kappa 0.84-0.89) and good for vocal resonance, crackles and auscultatory percussion (kappa 0.68-0.78). The independent predictors of pleural effusion were asymmetric chest expansion (odds ratio [OR] 5.22, 95% CI 2.06-13.23), and dull percussion note (OR 12.80, 95% CI 4.23-38.70). For the final multivariate model, the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was 0.88(39).

Medullary sponge kidney is a contingent disorder of kidney disease resulted of cystic dilatation of the collecting tubules in one or both kidneys, leading to increased risk of forming of kidney stone and urinary track infection. Most Medullary sponge kidney can be treated by minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the treatment of medullary sponge kidney patients with complex renal calculi(*).

The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of Kidney stone caused by Medullary sponge kidney
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1 gram of formula RRF(you cam buy them in any Chinese herbal store)
1 cup grape
1/2 cup sweet potato
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 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 Kidney stone 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.
Hydronephrosis is a health condition of kidney swelling caused by urine retention. According to the China Medical University, in patients with ureteral stones and colic, a majority (nearly 71 %) will demonstrate only mild hydronephrosis(1).
Kidney stone is a tiny mineral and acid salts form inside your kidneys. recent study back by some renowned institution suggested that green tea(2) may have a potential in reduced risk and treatment of forming of kidney stone.
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 Seoul National University Hospital, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a main constituent of green tea polyphenols processed an inhibitory effect on urinary stone formation, through its anti-oxalate effect(2).
Treatment of Green tea in a total of 120 Wistar rats study also exhibited decreased urinary oxalate excretion and calcium oxalate deposit formation due to antioxidative effects(3).
Dr. Kanlaya R and colleagues in the study led by the Mahidol University said, " EGCG in reducing COM crystal deposition in previous animal models of kidney stone disease. Thus, EGCG may be useful for the prevention of new or recurrent stone formation"(4).

Gallotannin, class of molecules belongings to the hydrolysable tannins found abundantly in grape and blueberry may also exert protective effect against forming of kidney stone(5). According to the Kyung Hee University, gallotannin suppressed calcium oxalate crystal binding and oxalate-induced oxidative stress in renal epithelial cells by upregulating antioxidant expression(5).
Furthermore, the 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose derivative of gallotannin, attenuated  renal crystallization and oxidative renal cell injury for treatment of nephrolithiasis(6).

Vitamin E, a fat soluble vitamin found abundantly in sweet potato may also induced protective effect against kidney stone forming through it antioxidant in involvement of free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation-induced membrane damage in the pathogenesis of calcium oxalate crystal deposition and retention(7).
Dr. Thamilselvan S and Dr. Menon M. said, " excess vitamin E completely prevented calcium oxalate deposition, by preventing peroxidative injury and restoring renal tissue antioxidants and glutathione redox balance"(8).
According to the National Taiwan University Hospital, Vitamin E attenuates crystal formation in rat kidneys through educing calcium oxalate accumulation via attenuation of tubular cell death and enhancement of the defensive roles of osteopontinin (OPN), and Tamm-Horsfall protein as crystallization inhibitors(9).

The combination of Green tea, Grape and Sweet Potato smoothie may hold a key in further studies in production of an effective natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of hydronephrosis caused by Kidney Stones without inducing adverse effects.

People who are at increased risk of hydronephrosis caused by Kidney Stones due to drinking habit, family history .....should drink at least one cup daily and people with hydronephrosis caused by Kidney Stones should drink the juices at least 3 times a day, depending to digestive toleration.
Change of life style and diet pattern are also 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,.

                   Pleural disease: Pleural effusion

The pleura is a thin tissue covered by a layer of cells (mesothelial cells) that surrounds the lungs and lines the inside of the chest wall.
Pleural effusion is a condition of collection of fluid within the pleural cavity as a result of heart failure, bleeding (hemothorax), infections, excessive or decreased fluid volume, etc.

                        The Risk factors

1. Certain Medications
Certain medication such as Nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin, Furadantin, Macrobid), Dantrolene (Dantrium), Methysergide (Sansert), etc. are associsted to increased riak of pleural effusions.
2. Radiation therapy
There is a report of Therapy of pronounced pleural and pericardial effusion in metastatic breast cancer with local mitoxantrone and radiation therapy(28).
3. Acute Lung Injury
Pleural effusion is a frequent finding in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Pleural effusion in acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome patients is of modest entity and leads to a greater chest wall expansion than lung reduction, without affecting gas exchange or respiratory mechanics, according to the study(29).
4. Nonaccidental trauma (NAT)
Nonaccidental trauma (NAT) is common and presents with varied symptoms..There is a reprot of a case of a of a 10-week-old infant who presented with multiple nonspecific complaints that included respiratory distress, refusal to feed, constipation, and lethargy. Sepsis was the working diagnosis on admission, but a massive pleural effusion and rib fractures seen on chest imaging ultimately led to the diagnosis of nonaccidental trauma(30).
5. Critically ill patients
Pleural effusions (PEs) are common in critically ill patients mainly as a consequence of severe cardiopulmonary disorders frequently encountered in these patients, according to the Medical School, Democritus University of Thrace(31)
6. Blunt thoracoabdominal trauma
Patients wirh blunt thoracoabdominal trauma are associated to higher risk to develop pleural effusions. There is a report of a successful treatment result in a rare case of hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis, who had sustained hydrothorax after blunt thoracoabdominal trauma. She sustained blunt thoracoabdominal trauma with a left clavicle fracture dislocation and right rib fractures. There was no hemopneumothorax at initial presentation. However, dyspnea and right pleural effusion developed gradually, according to the study by the Taipei-Veterans General Hospital(32).
7. Pregnancy
There is a report of a 40 year old woman at 30 weeks of her eighth pregnancy presented with acute onset of dyspnoea and a large left pleural effusion after the onset of premature labour. A barium enema showed diaphragmatic rupture with intestinal contents in the thorax(33)
7. Other risk factors
According to the study by the, most patients with pleural empyema and complicated parapneumonic pleural effusion were middle aged (53+/-17 years); men were twice as likely as women to have these conditions. Less than half (46%) of patients had at least one risk factor such as neoplasia (37%), treatment with immunosuppressive medicine (15%), alcohol abuse (15%)(34).

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1 1/2 cups of cooked artichokes
1 cup Reishi mushroom tea (Make from t tea bags of Reishi mushroom 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.
3. Serve immediately

The finding of a natural source for treatment of Primary Biliary Cirrhosiss 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.

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis is a condition of slowly destroyed of bile dusts, causing damage to liver as a result of bile building up. Antioxidant therapy is found effectively in improvement of the pruritus and fatigue of PBC(1).

Recent studies back by well known institutions proposed, Reishi mushroom and Cooked Artichokes may be the next generation of natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis.
According to the China Medical University, glycyrrhizin, silymarin, and ursodeoxycholic acid may have potential for prevention and treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis due to antioxidants effect in regulated the expression of genes relevant to apoptosis and oxidative stress in HepG2 cells(2).

Glycyrrhizin, found abundantly in Reishi mushroom or Lingzhi is a fungal species in the genus Ganoderma, belongings to the family Ganodermataceae, native to Asia. According to the Wonkwang University, has an antifibrotic effect on fibrotic rats induced by a bile duct ligation and scission (BDL/S)(3).

Silymarin, an antioxidant found in milk thistle and cooked artichokes may also be important ingredient for prevention and treatment of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis(2). According to the joint study led by the University of Foggia, silybin exerted antioxidant effects against accumulation of toxic hydrophobic bile acids in hepatocytes,caused by chronic cholestasis, through inhibition of mitochondrial failure in rat with secondary biliarycirrhosis(4).
Dr. Matveev AV and colleagues in the study of liver protective effects of silymarin ssaid," clinical trials and systematic reviews of silymarin use show high efficacy of the drug in patients with amanitine, drugs, and other toxic injuries of liver, viral hepatitis, NASH. In patients with carcinoma and primarily biliary cirrhosis efficacy of silymarin is ambiguous"(5).

The effectiveness of Reishi mushroom and Cooked Artichokes may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for reduced risk, complications and treatment of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis with little or no adverse effects.

People who are at high risk of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis due to family history, environment factors, .... should drink at least one serving daily and women with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.

Life style and dietary pattern(reduced intake of  bad cholesterol)change are recommended.
