The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Gallstones

Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1/2 cup cooked fennel
1 large slice of ginger
1/4 cup of celery
1 1/2 cups of almond 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

The finding of a natural source for reduced risk and treatment of Gallstones has encountered many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially the promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in either large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Recent study from some well known institutions suggested that combination of Green Tea(1) and fennel(4) and celery(8) may hold a key for a natural ingredients for reduced painful symptoms and treatment of Gallstones.

Gallstones are crystalline concretion, hard, pebble-like deposits formed in side the gallbladder, resulting in obstruction of the biliary tree which can lead to infection of the bile ducts with symptoms of constant pain, biliary coli, etc.  According to the Royal Infirmary, patients with human cholesterol gallstones are found to associate to lower intake of lower amounts of 10 among 16 antioxidants (P < 0.05 for methionine, alpha-tocopherol, manganese, and vitamin D; 0.05 < P < 0.10 for cysteine, beta-carotene, vitamin C, selenium, zinc, and phosphorus)(1).

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. Study from Chinese study suggested, tea consumption may decrease the risk of cancers of the gallbladder and gallstone disease among females(2).

Dr. Zhang XH and research team at the Shanghai Cancer Institute, in a 627 incident cases with biliary tract cancer, 1,037 cases with biliary stones and 959 randomly selected controls said, " consumed at least 1 cup of tea per day for at least 6 month,.... had significantly reduced risks of biliary stones"(3).

Coffee, a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans from the Coffee plant may also processed anti Gallstones effects depending to increased intake of coffee drink daily(4).

Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbate, is a water soluble vitamin with a chemical structure formula of C6H6O6 found in orange inhibited the risk of gallstone formation without changing plasma lipids and bile lipid concentration(5).

In an observational, population-based study of 2129 subjects aged 18-65 years randomly selected from the general population in southern German with a prevalence of gallstones of 7.8% (167/2129) expressed the regular intake of vitamin C and to a lesser extent, reduced cholesterol levels in association of risk of gallstones(6).

In support to the influence of vitamin C supplementation in conditions for cholesterol gallstone formation in humans, the Danderyd Hospital, reported a significant change of relative concentration of phospholipids, bile acid composition, and percentage of cholic acid and those of deoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid in vitamin C treatment group in comparison to control(7).

The Smoothie of  Green Tea, Coffee and Orangemay hold a key for further studies in production of a curable natural remedy for prevention and treatment of  Gallstones.
.
People who are at  increased risk of Gallstones, due to family history, overweight, smoking....should drink at least one cup or more daily. People with Gallstones may drink as much as they can, depending to the digestive toleration.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

Types of Musculo-Skeletal disorders in elder(2)

2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis

                                                      Osteoarthritis


Osteoarthritis (OA), a form of arthritis, is defined as a condition of as a result of aging causes of wear and tear on a joint, affecting over 25 million people in the United States in alone. University of Porto Medical School indicated that one must understand the differences in prevalence and incidence estimates of osteoarthritis (OA), according to case definition, in knee, hip and hand joints(3).
The characteristics of osteoarthritis are aching pain(5), stiffness(6), or difficulty of moving the joint or joints(7). The pain usually gets worse in change of weather, at night and in the advanced diseases, the pain can occur even at rest(8). Today management of osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on pain relief and improved physical function through pharmacological, non pharmacological, and surgical treatments(4).

                           The Treatment

B. In herbal and traditional Chinese medicine perspective
2. The Fabulous Salmon
Salmon is the common name for Salmonidae. They are anadromous, born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then travel thousands of miles in the deep sea cold water throughout their life cycle and within to five years returning to the exacted location where they were born to reproduce and die.

Nutrients
1. Protein
2. Omega-3 fatty acids
3. B vitamins
4. Vitamin D
5. Astaxanthin
is a potent antioxidant that stimulates the development of healthy fish nervous systems and enhances the fish's fertility and growth rate.
6. Selenium
7. Tryptophan
8. Magnesium
9. Phosphorus
10. Etc.

Intake of salmon calcitonin, a hormone produced by the thyroid gland of salmon or a synthetic polypeptide of the same sequence found in salmon(360) has shown to reduce OA pathogenesis and bone resorption, according to the study of 10 7-month-old female Sprague Dawley rat model by Nordic Bioscience A/S at Danmark(354) and counteract of type II collagen (CII), degradation and related surface erosions of articular cartilage in ovariectomized rat model(355), probably through the effects of subchondral trabecular bone changes and on osteoarthritic cartilage lesions(356). The change of both markers of bone and cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis has made salmon calitonin a potential new treatment opportunities for OA(358).
In treatment of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis, intake of salmon calcitonin showed an effect on sum of pain, function, stiffness, and total scores, the biomarkers of bone and joint metabolism but not in patients with symptomatic knee OA(357), according to 2 phase of 3 trials study by Nordic Bioscience, Denmark.
According to the Université Catholique de Louvain, oral salmon calcitonin, also improved functional disability and reduced levels of biomarkers of which can predict of joint space narrowing induced cartilage loss(359).
The high amount of Omega 3 fatty acid also make salmon of the dietary nutrients for the modulation of inflammation and metabolic health including prevention reduced risk of progression of osteoarthritis(361).

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Cervical Dysplasia 

Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)

1 1/2 cup sweet potato
1 tsp curcumin
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 Cervical Dysplasia ) 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.

Cervical Dysplasia is an early stage of cervical cancer as the result of irregular cell growth occurred on the surface lining of the cervix or endocervical canal, the opening between the uterus and the vagina. Epidemiological and preclinical evidence suggests that polyphenolic phytochemicals,  epigallocatechin gallate, curcumin from curry from tea possess cancer chemopreventive properties(3).

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. Its polyphenon E, an green tea extract (containing 800 mg epigallocatechin gallate), may process anti Cervical Dysplasia in women with persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1)(1).

According to the The Catholic University of Korea, the green tea extracts (polyphenon E; poly E and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate [EGCG]) in a form of ointment and capsule are effective for treating cervical lesions with 69% response rate(2).

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia. Its phytochemical curcumin may be effective for chemoprevention of cancer(4).
According to the Medical Research Center, Kasturba, India, Curcuma longa Linn extract, arrested low-grade squamous intraepithelialneoplasia (LSIL) a 12 week intervention through attenuated the circulating IL-6 pro inflammatory levels(5).

Dr. Prusty BK and Dr. Das BC. in thestudy of the effectiveness of curcumin against human papillomavirus (HPV) transcription and AP-1 activity in HeLa cells suggested that curcumin may be a novel therapeutic ingredient to control pathogenic HPV infection through its potent antioxidation(6).

Phytoestrogen, such as isoflavonoids found in legume with both estrogenic and antiestrogentic effect  depending to the levels of estrogen in women  may inhibit the induction of  Cervical
Dysplasia(7). Accordi,ng to the University of Hawaii, five isoflavonoids (genistein, glycitein, daidzein, O-desmethylangolensin, and equol), two flavonoids (hesperetin and naringenin), and two lignans (enterodiol and enterolactone) exhibited a positive association between specific
phytoestrogens and premalignancies of the cervix(8))(3).
Dr. Fedotcheva TA and colleagues said, "the half aximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of genistein (0.2 mM) for the growth inhibition of HeLa cells is at least ten times higher than that one of tamoxifen and cisplatin--drugs, used in cervical cancer treatment"(9).

The effectiveness of Alfalfa Sprouts, curcumin and Green Tea may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for for Reduced Risk  and treatment of Cervical Dysplasia with little or no adverse effects.

Women who are at increased risk of Cervical Dysplasia  due to sexual active with many partners,..... should drink the smoothie twice a day and women with Cervical Dysplasia should drink as much as they can, depending to the digestive toleration.
Life style and dietary patter 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,.

         Pulmonary vascular disease:  Pulmonary edema


Pulmonary vascular disease is defined as a condition of blood flow to the lung’s artery is blocked suddenly due to a blood clot somewhere in the body, including pulmonary embolism, chronic thromboembolic disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, pulmonary edema, etc.

                                                   

Pulmonary edema is defined as a condition of fluid accumulation in the air spaces and parenchyma of the lungs of that can lead to difficult of breathing and respiratory failure.

                              The  Diagnosis

If you are experience certain symptoms above and suspected to develop, after a complete physical examination, including checking the presence of fluid in your lungs and recorded of your family, the tests which your doctor orders may include
1. Blood test
Blood chemistry tests are a procedure to examine the general health of a patient, but in this case it may be used to test for oxygen levels.
2. Lung ultrasound
Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is an acute life-threatening complication associated with many forms of central nervous system injury. NPE usually appears within minutes to hours after injury and has a high mortality rate if not recognized and treated appropriately. Lung ultrasound quickly provides at the bedside relevant information on the state of aeration and ventilation of the lung(25).
3. Chest X-ray
The aim of the test is to check for the presence of fluid in the lung. According to the study by the researcher team lead by Liebman PR, the portable chest x-ray technic does not provide quantitative information regarding cardiopulmonary function. It is especially hazardous to accept an x-ray diagnosis of congestive failure as the cause of pulmonary edema(26).
4. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
The aim of the test is to look for heart rhythm problems or signs of a heart attack. There is a report of a case of presented markedly low surface electrocardiographic (ECG) voltage and an infarction pattern are rapidly reversed with renal hemodialysis for pulmonary edema(27).
5. Echocardiogram
The aim of the test is to check for problems of the heart muscle including weakness, thickness, failure to relax properly, leaky or narrow heart valves, or fluid surrounding the heart(28).

B. In herbal and traditional Chinese medicine perspective

B.1. Life style modification according herbal and TCM medicine specialist
Life style modification has shown to be beneficiary for patients with osteoartritis to improve musculoskeletal and bone health and reduce disability,according to the University of Tasmania(276). Modern herbal and TCM medicine specialists may suggest the following
1. Lose some weight
Over weight and obesity are found to associate the risk factors and risks of rapid progression of the disease(277)(278). In the discussion of obesity versus osteoarthritis, Dr. Sartori-Cintra AR and the research team at Universidade Estadual de Campinas, indicated that obesity is associated to wide range of diseases, such as osteometabolic diseases, including osteoporosis and osteoarthritis and suggested that physical activity combined with changes in diet composition can reverse the inflammatory and leptin resistance, reducing progression or preventing the onset of osteoarthritis(236).

2. Exercise
Exercise, today is less popular leisure-time activity in many countries throughout the Western world, especially in the youth due to promotion of information collection through mobile phone. According to study, moderate exercise, reduced the risk on the onset and progression of osteoarthritis joint disease(279). According to Boston University Arthritis, habitual physical activity post no risk of knee OA for men or women, during the 18th biennial examination (1983-85), in the study of 1,415 subjects had a mean age of 73 years(279). Walking is found to be the most preference of aerobic exercise tested in the older with knee osteoarthritis, depending to the distance, walking distance improves 26%, 31%, and 15% of pain and physical function, according to Dr.Stephen P. Messier,
Ph.D(280).
Combination of weight loss and exercise in older adults with knee osteoarthritis showed to improve level of leptin of which related to the biomarkers for earlier diagnosis in patient with OA(281).

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.

                           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,.

         Pulmonary vascular disease:  Pulmonary edema


Pulmonary vascular disease is defined as a condition of blood flow to the lung’s artery is blocked suddenly due to a blood clot somewhere in the body, including pulmonary embolism, chronic thromboembolic disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, pulmonary edema, etc.

                                                   

Pulmonary edema is defined as a condition of fluid accumulation in the air spaces and parenchyma of the lungs of that can lead to difficult of breathing and respiratory failure.

                             The Misdiagnosis

1. Pneumonia
Unilateral pulmonary edema can mimic as pneumonia. Clinician should be aware of differential diagnosis of pulmonary edema, otherwise it can lead to unnecessary investigation and delay in starting definitive treatment< according to the study by ths National University Hospital, National University Health System(20).
2. Acute rheumatic fever
Although the diagnostic criteria for acute rheumatic fever (ARF) are well known, a high index of suspicion is necessary in order to assure timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. We present a case of an 8-year-old child who presented with unilateral pulmonary edema secondary to acute mitral insufficiency due to ARF. ARF should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unilateral pulmonary edema in children(21).
3. Acute mitral regurgitation
Differential diagnosis of unilateral alveolar pulmonary infiltration includes various possibilities. Acutely developing mitral insufficiency, often without any prior cardiac symptoms, may be the cause of pulmonary edema localized exclusively in the right upper lobe(22).
4. Amiodarone pneumonitis
There is a report of a case of the case of a 78-year-old woman with a history of cardiac surgery, who after 2 years of amiodarone therapy for prophylactic treatment of atrial fibrillation developed amiodarone pneumonitis mimicking an acute pulmonary edema(23).
5. Acute myocardial infarction
There is a report of a case of neurogenic pulmonary oedema (NPO) following massive left cerebral infarct, which was initially misdiagnosed as acute myocardial infarction (AMI)(24).
