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)
1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis

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
B. 4. The Fabulous Supplements for osteoarthritis
1. Glucosamine
Glucosamine, a compound of the simple sugar glucose and the amino acid glutamine, is a precursor for glycosaminoglycans(194), a major component of joint cartilage(195). Treatment of glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, collagen hydrolysate, or nutrients, such as antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids showed to prevent cartilage degeneration and treat arthritis, according to study(195).
2. Chondroitin
Sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG), found in cartilage around joints in the body id a chemical composed of alternating sugars (N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid).
The chemical compound has been used as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment of osteoarthritis by it self or combination with viscosupplementation, according to study(367).
The comparison of piascledine 300 and chondroitin sulfate for treatment of knee osteoarthritis study, also insisted that 3 capsules chondroitin sulfate per day or one capsule of avocado soybean unsaponifiable (ASU) improved the WOMAC-index decreased in both groups for approx. 50% to the end of therapy(368).
According to the Birmingham VA Medical Center, chondroitin, reliefs pain for patient with knee osteoarthritis with little adverse effects when compared with control(369) and its combination with glucosamine showed a greater effect in reducing pain, stiffness, functional limitation and joint swelling/effusion after 6 months in patients with painful knee osteoarthritis(370)(371),
3. Avocado soybean unsaponifiables (ASU)
Avocado soybean unsaponifiables (ASU) is a natural vegetable extract composed of one-third avocado oil and two-thirds soybean oil, may be used effectively for treatment of knee osteoarthritis to replace the use of analgesics and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), according to the a three-month, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial(372). In patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip, The extract inhibited functional disability, especially for patient with hip OA(373).
According to the Erasmus University Hospital of Brussels, daily intake of 300mg or 600mg of ASU, reduced intake of NSAIDs and analgesics by more than 50% in 71% in patient aged 45 to 80 years with femoro-tibial knee osteoarthritis(374) and improved symptoms of patients with OA of the knee and hip, according to the Universities of Exeter and Plymouth, Devon(375) probably through modulating OA pathogenesis by inhibiting a number of molecules and pathways(376), such as preventing the osteoarthritic osteoblast-induced inhibition of matrix molecule production in induced cartilage repair (377),

Renal disease is associated to common complication in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease as a result of direct kidney infection with HIV or from the adverse effects of antiviral medication.
The smoothie for Reduced risk and Treatment of Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) associated nephropathy
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 cup Tomato
1/2 cup Brazil nut
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 minute. 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 Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), 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.
Scientist community may have found the smoothie(combined ingredients of garlic, olive and coconut oils) with potential and therapeutic value for reduced risk and treatment of Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)without adverse effects.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) of which can lead to the progression of weakened immune system casues of infectous diseases and cancers. According to the studies, patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are asscoiated to low levels of vitamin A and selenium(1).
Selenium, a chemical element with symbol Se and antioxidant found in Brazil nut, plays an important role in protection of cell against significant impairments of antioxidative defenses induced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (2).
Dr. Delmas-Beauvieux MC and colleagues at the Université Bordeaux II, suggested, selenium supplementation could be of great interest in protecting cells against oxidative stress and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and glutathione (GSH) are important in expression of natural enzymatic defense system in detoxifying hydrogen peroxide(3).
Vitamin A, a bi-polar molecule formed by bonds between carbon and hydrogen, is a fat soluble vitamin converted from beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant. Accoridng to the The University of Maryland School of Medicine, deficiency of vitamin A in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been associated with more progressive HIV disease(4).
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.
Dr. Hamza A and Dr. Zhan CG. said, "(-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea is an inhibitor blocking gp120-CD4 binding" by blocking the initial step of HIV-1 entry into the cells"(7).
In support of above blocking, Dr. Williamson MP and colleagues at the University of Sheffield suggested, green tea Epigallocatechin gallate has a potential use as adjunctive therapy in HIV-1 infection(8) through its binding of HIV-1 glycoprotein (gp) 120 to the CD4 molecule on T cells.

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.
The Treatments
A. In conventional medicine perspective
Treatment of Pulmonary edema is depending to the unlined causes of the diseases. In most cases, the disease is caused by congestive heart failure. According to A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia, most cases of Pulmonary edema are almost always treated in the emergency room or hospital, sometimes in an intensive care unit (ICU), including Oxygen is given through a face mask or tiny plastic tubes are placed in the nose and a breathing tube may be placed into the windpipe (trachea) so you can be connected to a breathing machine (ventilator). The unlined causes of the disease should be diagnosis quickly and treated accordingly. Certain medications may be prescribed such as diuretics to remove excess fluids from the body and medicines to strengthen the heart muscle, control the heartbeat, or relieve pressure on the heart(62).
B. In Herbal medicine perspective
1. Sea buckthorn
Sea buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides L.) is a rich source of flavonols, especially isorhamnetin. Most prospective cohort studies have indicated some degree of inverse association between flavonoid intake and coronary heart disease.
2. Astragalus
Astragalus (Astragalus onobrychis), also known as Huang Qi in traditional Chinese medicine, is a genus of small shrubs, belonging to the legume family Fabaceae. The herb has been used in traditional herbal medicine in boosting and stimulating the immune system, as a diuretic, to treat shortness of breath, general weakness, and lack of appetite, colds, flu, stomach ulcers, diabetes, etc.
a. Congestive heart failure
In a study of Sixty-two in-patients with CHF (congestive heart failure), whose heart function belonged to NYHA grade II-IV with Astragalus Injection (AI),conducted by Huazhong University of Science and Technology, posted in PubMed(63), researchers found that astragalus Injection could improve the immune function of CHF patients, and can be taken as an important auxiliary treatment for CHF.
b. Atherosclerosis
Extract of Astragalus, Radix Codonopsis and Cortex Lycii, reduces the risk of Atherosclerosis by suppressing the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell migration, according to the study of “Suppression of low-density lipoprotein oxidation, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration by a herbal extract of Radix Astragali, Radix Codonopsis and Cortex Lycii” by Chan JY, Koon JC, Leung PC, Che CT, Fung KP., posted in PubMed(64).
c. Heart diseases
One optimal dose of DHEA or Astragalus can reduce the condition of heart disease? according to the study of “Organ representation areas of different internal organs localized on the eyebrows & eyelids by the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test electromagnetic resonance phenomenon between 2 identical molecules–Part I: Detection of increased markers for cancer & heart disease from white hairs on the eyebrows and marked decrease in the markers after taking one optimal dose of DHEA” by Omura Y., posted in PubMed(65)
d. Hypertension
flavonoid (TF), extracted from the seed of Astragalus have shown the properties of lowering blood pressure in both in both renal hypertensive rats (RHR) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) according to the study of “Antihypertensive effect of total flavonoid fraction of Astragalus complanatus in hypertensive rats” by Li JX, Xue B, Chai Q, Liu ZX, Zhao AP, Chen LB., posted in PubMed(66)
3. Bromelain
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzymes found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
a. Bromelain in cardiovascular diseases
In the review out of Out of 223 papers retrieved, 6 papers met the inclusion criteria(Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), human studies, animal studies and experimental studies related to bromelain for CVDs. Data extraction and analysis: The quality assessment of all the selected studies was conducted by the authors. Data from 3 animal trials and 3 human trials were included in the review. Data collected included: type of trial, drug dosage, duration, outcome measures, characteristics of bromelain used, significance of results and conclusion),bromelain could be used for treating acute thrombophlebitis, as it decreases aggregation of blood platelets, has a cardio-protective effect, ameliorates rejection-induced arterial wall remodelling, prevents thrombin-induced human platelet aggregation as well as reduces thrombus formation, according to the study of “A review of the use of bromelain in cardiovascular diseases” by Ley CM, Tsiami A, Ni Q, Robinson N., posted in PubMed(67)
b. Renal diseases
Bromelain proteolytic enzymes has improved proteinuria and urinary TGF-beta 1 excretion, as well as the severity of tubulointerstitial fibrosis without signs of toxicity, according to the study of “The effect of oral protease administration in the rat remnant kidney model” Sebeková K, Dämmrich J, Krivosíková Z, Heidland A.” by posted in PubMed(68).
4. Garlic
Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, belonging to family Amaryllidaceae, native to central Asia. It has been used popularly in traditional and Chinese medicine in treating common cold and flu to the Plague, blood pressure cholesterol levels, natural antibiotic, etc.
a. Blood pressure
In the assessment of garlic extract and its effect of hypertension. found that Agedgarlic extract was generally well tolerated and acceptability of trial treatment was high (92%) and aged garlic extract is superior to placebo in lowering systolic blood pressure similarly to current first line medications in patients with treated but uncontrolled hypertension, according to “Aged garlicextract lowers blood pressure in patients with treated but uncontrolled hypertension: a randomised controlled trial” by Ried K, Frank OR, Stocks NP.(69)
b. Atherosclerosis
In the demonstration of aged garlic extract therapy with supplements (AGE+S) and theirs effect on cardiovascular diseases found that CAC progression was significantly lower and TR significantly higher in the AGE+S compared to the placebo group after adjustment of cardiovascular risk factors (p<0.05). Total cholesterol, LDL-C, homocysteine, IgG and IgM autoantibodies to MDA-LDL and apoB-immune complexes were decreased, whereas HDL, OxPL/apoB, and Lp (a) were significantly increased in AGE+S to placebo and concluded that AGE+S is associated with a favorable improvement in oxidative biomarkers, vascular function, and reduced progression of atherosclerosis., according to “Agedgarlicextract supplemented with B vitamins, folic acid and L-arginine retards the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis: a randomized clinical trial” by Budoff MJ, Ahmadi N, Gul KM, Liu ST, Flores FR, Tiano J, Takasu J, Miller E, Tsimikas S.(70).
c. . Cardiovascular diseases
In the review of the experimental and clinical studies confirm that the ancient experience with beneficial effects of garlic holds validity even in prevention ofcardiovascular disorders and other metabolic ills, indicated that Garlic-derived organic polysulfides are converted by erythrocytes into hydrogen sulfide which relaxes vascular smooth muscle, induces vasodilation of blood vessels, and significantly reduces blood pressure. There are data on potential ability of garlic to inhibit the rate of progression of coronary calcification. Garlic as a dietary component appears to hold promise to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease(Fig. 2, Ref. 46), according to “Garlic (Allium sativum L.) and cardiovascular diseases” by Ginter E, Simko V.(71)

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.
A. In conventional medicine perspective
Treatment of Pulmonary edema is depending to the unlined causes of the diseases. In most cases, the disease is caused by congestive heart failure. According to A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia, most cases of Pulmonary edema are almost always treated in the emergency room or hospital, sometimes in an intensive care unit (ICU), including Oxygen is given through a face mask or tiny plastic tubes are placed in the nose and a breathing tube may be placed into the windpipe (trachea) so you can be connected to a breathing machine (ventilator). The unlined causes of the disease should be diagnosis quickly and treated accordingly. Certain medications may be prescribed such as diuretics to remove excess fluids from the body and medicines to strengthen the heart muscle, control the heartbeat, or relieve pressure on the heart(62).
B. In Herbal medicine perspective
1. Sea buckthorn
Sea buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides L.) is a rich source of flavonols, especially isorhamnetin. Most prospective cohort studies have indicated some degree of inverse association between flavonoid intake and coronary heart disease.
2. Astragalus
Astragalus (Astragalus onobrychis), also known as Huang Qi in traditional Chinese medicine, is a genus of small shrubs, belonging to the legume family Fabaceae. The herb has been used in traditional herbal medicine in boosting and stimulating the immune system, as a diuretic, to treat shortness of breath, general weakness, and lack of appetite, colds, flu, stomach ulcers, diabetes, etc.
a. Congestive heart failure
In a study of Sixty-two in-patients with CHF (congestive heart failure), whose heart function belonged to NYHA grade II-IV with Astragalus Injection (AI),conducted by Huazhong University of Science and Technology, posted in PubMed(63), researchers found that astragalus Injection could improve the immune function of CHF patients, and can be taken as an important auxiliary treatment for CHF.
b. Atherosclerosis
Extract of Astragalus, Radix Codonopsis and Cortex Lycii, reduces the risk of Atherosclerosis by suppressing the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell migration, according to the study of “Suppression of low-density lipoprotein oxidation, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration by a herbal extract of Radix Astragali, Radix Codonopsis and Cortex Lycii” by Chan JY, Koon JC, Leung PC, Che CT, Fung KP., posted in PubMed(64).
c. Heart diseases
One optimal dose of DHEA or Astragalus can reduce the condition of heart disease? according to the study of “Organ representation areas of different internal organs localized on the eyebrows & eyelids by the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test electromagnetic resonance phenomenon between 2 identical molecules–Part I: Detection of increased markers for cancer & heart disease from white hairs on the eyebrows and marked decrease in the markers after taking one optimal dose of DHEA” by Omura Y., posted in PubMed(65)
d. Hypertension
flavonoid (TF), extracted from the seed of Astragalus have shown the properties of lowering blood pressure in both in both renal hypertensive rats (RHR) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) according to the study of “Antihypertensive effect of total flavonoid fraction of Astragalus complanatus in hypertensive rats” by Li JX, Xue B, Chai Q, Liu ZX, Zhao AP, Chen LB., posted in PubMed(66)
3. Bromelain
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzymes found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
a. Bromelain in cardiovascular diseases
In the review out of Out of 223 papers retrieved, 6 papers met the inclusion criteria(Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), human studies, animal studies and experimental studies related to bromelain for CVDs. Data extraction and analysis: The quality assessment of all the selected studies was conducted by the authors. Data from 3 animal trials and 3 human trials were included in the review. Data collected included: type of trial, drug dosage, duration, outcome measures, characteristics of bromelain used, significance of results and conclusion),bromelain could be used for treating acute thrombophlebitis, as it decreases aggregation of blood platelets, has a cardio-protective effect, ameliorates rejection-induced arterial wall remodelling, prevents thrombin-induced human platelet aggregation as well as reduces thrombus formation, according to the study of “A review of the use of bromelain in cardiovascular diseases” by Ley CM, Tsiami A, Ni Q, Robinson N., posted in PubMed(67)
b. Renal diseases
Bromelain proteolytic enzymes has improved proteinuria and urinary TGF-beta 1 excretion, as well as the severity of tubulointerstitial fibrosis without signs of toxicity, according to the study of “The effect of oral protease administration in the rat remnant kidney model” Sebeková K, Dämmrich J, Krivosíková Z, Heidland A.” by posted in PubMed(68).
4. Garlic
Garlic (Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, belonging to family Amaryllidaceae, native to central Asia. It has been used popularly in traditional and Chinese medicine in treating common cold and flu to the Plague, blood pressure cholesterol levels, natural antibiotic, etc.
a. Blood pressure
In the assessment of garlic extract and its effect of hypertension. found that Agedgarlic extract was generally well tolerated and acceptability of trial treatment was high (92%) and aged garlic extract is superior to placebo in lowering systolic blood pressure similarly to current first line medications in patients with treated but uncontrolled hypertension, according to “Aged garlicextract lowers blood pressure in patients with treated but uncontrolled hypertension: a randomised controlled trial” by Ried K, Frank OR, Stocks NP.(69)
b. Atherosclerosis
In the demonstration of aged garlic extract therapy with supplements (AGE+S) and theirs effect on cardiovascular diseases found that CAC progression was significantly lower and TR significantly higher in the AGE+S compared to the placebo group after adjustment of cardiovascular risk factors (p<0.05). Total cholesterol, LDL-C, homocysteine, IgG and IgM autoantibodies to MDA-LDL and apoB-immune complexes were decreased, whereas HDL, OxPL/apoB, and Lp (a) were significantly increased in AGE+S to placebo and concluded that AGE+S is associated with a favorable improvement in oxidative biomarkers, vascular function, and reduced progression of atherosclerosis., according to “Agedgarlicextract supplemented with B vitamins, folic acid and L-arginine retards the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis: a randomized clinical trial” by Budoff MJ, Ahmadi N, Gul KM, Liu ST, Flores FR, Tiano J, Takasu J, Miller E, Tsimikas S.(70).
c. . Cardiovascular diseases
In the review of the experimental and clinical studies confirm that the ancient experience with beneficial effects of garlic holds validity even in prevention ofcardiovascular disorders and other metabolic ills, indicated that Garlic-derived organic polysulfides are converted by erythrocytes into hydrogen sulfide which relaxes vascular smooth muscle, induces vasodilation of blood vessels, and significantly reduces blood pressure. There are data on potential ability of garlic to inhibit the rate of progression of coronary calcification. Garlic as a dietary component appears to hold promise to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease(Fig. 2, Ref. 46), according to “Garlic (Allium sativum L.) and cardiovascular diseases” by Ginter E, Simko V.(71)

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).

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
B.3. The Preventive Minerals and Vitamins
2. Top vitamins for osteoarthritis
According to Anatomisches Institut der CAU zu Kiel, Olshausenstr, diet supplemented with the vitamins E, C, A, B6, B2, play an important role in prevention or therapy of mechanically induced OA, due to the effects of their antioxidant activity(335).
3.1. Vitamin A
Intake of free radical scavengers and antioxidants such as carotenoids have been known for influence the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA)(339), according to the Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, high serum values of beta-/gamma-tocopherols (Vitamin A) were found to be significantly associated with a reduced risk of OR for radiographic kneeosteoarthritis(338). In Race differentiation, according to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, radiographic kneeosteoarthritis and tocopherol isoforms are complex and may vary by ethnicity and sex(340).
3.2. Vitamin C
In a case-control study enrolled 180 knee osteoarthritis (KOA), Low intake of dietary vitamin D and vitamin C has shown to induced a high risk factor of KOA(344)Vitamin C as an antioxidant has shown to reduce oxidative stress causes of dysfunction in chondrocytes and articular cartilage degradation in patient with OA(342) induced by H2O2 by regulating multiple regulatory pathways(341). Intake of vitamin C supplement has reduced risk of OA incidence but not in decreased progression of knee in patient with OA(343).
3.3. Vitamin E
In comparison of the effectiveness of vitamin E and B vitamin in patient with knee OA, Dr. Dehghan M said "decrease in total pain severity was reported higher in B vitamin group than E vitamin"(336).
In the study of the pro-oxidant and antioxidant status in patient with OA, high levels of serum of vitamin E is associated to reduced risk of oxidative stress causes of osteoarthritis through regulation in response to increased oxidative stress(345). The study of total otal cartilage degeneration in rat models, also insisted that Vitamin E expressed not only in hondroprotective activity but also exhibited a beneficial effects of HA on articular cartilage(346).
Unfortunately, a double blind, placebo controlled trial, 136 patients with knee OA from American College of Rheumatology clinical and radiographic criteria did not support the beneficial effect of Vitamin E in the management of knee OA, in improved cartilage volume loss or symptoms(347).
3.4.Vitamin D
Vitamin D is associated to the development and progression of osteoarthritis, as l dietary vitamin D intake increases the risk of progression of knee ROA, effecting the bone density(348). Vitamin D deficiency also has found to induced risk of progression(349) and worsening of knee osteoarthritis in patient(350). According to the study of a total of 880 randomly selected subjects (mean age 61 years [range 51-79 years], 50% women) at baseline, conducted by the University of Tasmania, sunlight exposure and serum 25(OH)D levels are found to associate with decreased knee cartilage loss(351).
In deed, Other vitamin such as vitamin D is found to modify disease progression in knee OA, through
reduce knee pain, loss of knee cartilage volume, risk knee structural abnormalities and strengthen lower limb muscle strength(337).
3.5. B vitamin
According to the Shahrekord University of Medical Science, in the studyof mean score of WOMAC questionnaire at VASs of knee pain, total pain severity, knee joint stiffness, showed that the B vitamin decrease stiffness in knee joint(352). In deed, high consumption of the mixture of B vitamins and diclofenac have been found effectively in reduced pain and inflammation for patient with osteoarthritis and used in a total knee arthroplasty(353).

The smoothie for reduced symptoms and treatment of Menopausal Symptom, including Dyspareunia
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 1/4 cups alfalfa sprout
1/4 cup flax seed
1 cup of rice milk
1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately
The finding the natural ingredients for treatment of vasomotor symptoms 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 potential in large sample size and multi center.
Menopause is a condition in which a woman is in the transition stage of permanent cessation of the ovaries functions in egg production because of less production of estrogen and progesterone, signalling the end of the reproductive phrase a woman's life. In menopause, menstruation has become irregular and slowly stop overtime, but in some women, menstrual flow comes to a sudden halt.

In menopause, menstruation has become irregular and slowly stop overtime, but in some women, menstrual flow comes to a sudden halt.
Dyspareunia is a condition of persistent or recurrent genital pain occurred just before, during or after intercourse, particular in menopausal women.
Isoflavones found in legume processed alleviating vasomotor episodes, attenuating bone loss, and stimulating vaginal epithelial maturation,. according to the joint study lead by The Chiang Mai University(1).
Dr.Sobenin IA and researcher at the Russian Cardiology Research and Production Complex, said, "Phytoestrogens are often considered as a possible alternative to hormone replacement therapy, since they are believed to alleviate some symptoms of menopause, such as, therosclerosis and atherosclerosis-related diseases through multiple mechanisms"(2).
In Fact, Phytoestrogens, found abundantly in alfalfa sprout can play an important role in ameliorated symptoms of menopause including fatigue, insomnia, dyspareunia, problems with concentrations and depression symptoms and on women organism during menopausal period(3).
Levels of serotonin found abundantly in flax seed, is associated to reduced risk, frequency and severity of vasomotor symptoms in menopausal women(4). According to the Massachusetts General Hospital, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor duloxetine significant improve dpression, vasomotor symptoms, sleep, anxiety, and pain after 8 weeks(5).
Dr. Joffe H and the research team at the joint study lead Harvard Medical School, low-dose oral estradiol and venlafaxine(serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor ) are effective treatments for VMS in women during midlife(6).
Another selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, escitalopram, also alleviated the frequency, severity, and bother of menopausal hot flashes in the study of 205 women (95 African American; 102 white; 8 other) between July 2009 and June 2010.(7).
The combination of Alfalfa sprout and Flax seed smoothie may hold a key in further studies in production of an effective natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of menopausal symptoms without inducing adverse effects. Menopausal women 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.
C. Antioxidants to prevent Pulmonary edema
1. Vitamin D
According to the study by the Boston University Medical Center, Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased risks of deadly cancers, cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and type 1 diabetes mellitus(54).
2. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an essential dietary nutrient for the biosynthesis of collagen and a co-factor in the biosynthesis of catecholamines, L-carnitine, cholesterol, amino acids, and some peptide hormones. The lack of vitamin C causes scurvy, a pathological condition leading to blood vessel fragility and connective tissue damage due to failure in producing collagen, and, finally, to death as result of a general collapse. Vitamin C is potentially involved also in cancer and cardiovascular diseases prevention(55).
3. Selenium (Se) and vitamin E (V(E))
In the study to examine the effects of Se and V(E) supplementation on MeHg-mediated systemic oxidative stress, antioxidant defense, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction in an animal model with male Sprague-Dawley rats fed a starch-based casein diet or the same diet supplemented with 1 or 3 mg Se/kg diet and with or without 250 or 750 mg V(E)/kg diet, found that Se and V(E) supplementation may either alleviate or augment the effects of MeHg, depending on their doses and combinations(56).
4. Pterostilbene
Pterostilbene is a phytochemical in the class of Stilbenoids, found abundantly in grapes, blueberries, etc.
a. Cholesterol
In the investigation of whether resveratrol and its three analogues (pterostilbene, piceatannol, and resveratrol trimethyl ether) would activate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) isoform, found that the maximal luciferase activity responses to pterostilbene were higher than those obtained with the hypolipidemic drug, ciprofibrate (33910 and 19460 relative luciferase units, respectively), at 100 microM. Hypercholesterolemic hamsters fed with pterostilbene at 25 ppm of the diet showed 29% lower plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, 7% higher plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and 14% lower plasma glucose as compared to the control group. The LDL/HDL ratio was also statistically significantly lower for pterostilbene, as compared to results for the control animals, at this diet concentration, according to “Pterostilbene, a new agonist for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha-isoform, lowers plasma lipoproteins and cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic hamsters” by Rimando AM, Nagmani R, Feller DR, Yokoyama W.(57).
b. Atherosclerosis
In the determination of the effect of Pterostilbene (PT) on Vascular endothelial cell (VEC) apoptosis, the main event occurring during the development of atherosclerosis, found that Cotreatment with PT and siRNA of LOX-1 synergistically reduced oxLDL-induced apoptosis in HUVECs. Overexpression of LOX-1 attenuated the protection by PT and suppressed the effects of PT on oxLDL-induced oxidative stress. PT may protect HUVECs against oxLDL-induced apoptosis by downregulating LOX-1-mediated activation through a pathway involving oxidative stress, p53, mitochondria, cytochrome c and caspase protease. PT might be a potential natural anti-apoptotic agent for the treatment of atherosclerosis, according to “Pterostilbene protects vascular endothelial cells against oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced apoptosis in vitro and in vivo” by Zhang L, Zhou G, Song W, Tan X, Guo Y, Zhou B, Jing H, Zhao S, Chen L.(58).
5. Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a phytochemincal in the class of Xanthophylls, belonging to the group of Carotenoids (tetraterpenoids), found abundantly in yeast, krill, shrimp, salmon, lobsters, etc.
a. Cardiovascular health
In the evualation of the an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties effects and as such has potential as a therapeutic agent in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease of Astaxanthin, a xanthophyll carotenoid present in microalgae, fungi, complex plants, seafood, flamingos and quail, found that No adverse events have been reported and there is evidence of a reduction in biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation with astaxanthin administration. Experimental studies in several species using an ischaemia-reperfusion myocardial model demonstrated that astaxanthin protects the myocardium when administered both orally or intravenously prior to the induction of the ischaemic event, according to “Astaxanthin: a potential therapeutic agent in cardiovascular disease” by Fassett RG, Coombes JS.(59)
b. Antithrombotic and antihypertensive effects
In the examination of the hypothesis that astaxanthin, a red pigment carotenoid found in salmonid and crustacean aquaculture, for its protect on stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) from vascular oxidative damage, hypertension, and cerebral thrombosis, found that the results supported our hypothesis and strongly suggested that the antithrombotic and antihypertensive effects of astaxanthin or vitamin E may be related to an increase in bioavailable NO, possibly mediated by decreased inactivation of NO by reactive oxygen species, according to “Astaxanthin inhibits thrombosis in cerebral vessels of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats” by Sasaki Y, Kobara N, Higashino S, Giddings JC, Yamamoto J.(60)
c. Cholesterol
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of astaxanthin on lipid profiles and oxidative stress in overweight and obese adults in Korea, found that all four biomarkers were not significantly different between the two groups. Compared with the placebo group, MDA and ISP were significantly lower, but TAC was significantly higher in the astaxanthin group at 12 weeks. These results suggest that supplementary astaxanthin has positive effects by improving the LDL cholesterol, ApoB, and oxidative stress biomarkers, according to “Positive effects of astaxanthin on lipid profiles and oxidative stress in overweight subjects” by Choi HD, Youn YK, Shin WG.(61).

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)
1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis
6. Osteoporosis
7. Low back pain
8. Fibromyalgia
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
B.3. The Preventive Minerals
1. Minerals for osteoarthritis
Certain minerals such as calcium(316)(317), magnesium, selenium, zinc, and iron; may be a good sources of pain reliever for patient with osteoarthritis, according to the studies(325). According to the randomized to four double-blinded treatments for 12 weeks by Minnesota Applied Research Center, Glucosamine sulfate (1500 mg/d), Aquamin (2400 mg/d) and Combined treatment composed of Glucosamine sulfate (1500 mg/d) have shown effectively in improvements in symptoms of pain and stiffness of osteoarthritis(315).
1.1. Calcium
The osteoporosis association of Canada recommended at 3 serving of milk and alternative serving of yogurt, cheese, calcium-fortified beverages, puddings, custards, etc for 50 plus elder(318). In deed, as we get older the function of replacement of osteoclasts in any areas of damaged or weakened bone are slower due to reduced process of bone remodelling(319) of which may involve the utilization of body in calcium aborption(319).
1.2. Magnesium
According to the study by Central South University,dietary magnesium (Mg) of elder patients is associated to reduce risk of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA), joint space narrowing (JSN)(320), especially in white population(321).
According to joint study lead by Dr. Zeng C, Serum Magnesium Concentration is found to be deficient in patient with osteoarthritis(322). In deed, patient with osteoarthritis is found to have a decreased bone levels of Mg, in comparison of radiographic bone density and bone mineral density (BMD) in patient with Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)(323),
1.3. Selenium
In male STR/1N mice model, dietary selenium and other vitamins not only is found to have an decreased risk of osteoartritis, OA, but also play an important role in prevention or therapy of mechanically induced OA(324). In deed, according to the joint study by College of Medicine of Xi'an Jiaotong University, alterations in selenium metabolism and apoptosis due to inability of MYC mediated metabolism and apoptosis signaling pathway may contribute to the pathogenesis of KBD, a special type of endemic osteoarthritis(326). Patient with osteoarthritis is found to have a low level of selenium in comparison to osteopororsis(323).
1.4. Zinc
Zinc may plays an important role for the development of osteoarthritis, according to Randers Regional Hospital, patient with osteoarthritis are found to have significantly higher serum zinc concentrations and lower urine zinc concentrations in comparison to patient with osteoporosis(327).
High level of zinc in patient with osteoarthritis may be a influence of bone turnover and femoral head bone density and biomechanical properties(328).
In the inflammatory effects, according to the Harran University, plasma trace element concentrations do not exhibit change in immunoregulatory cytokines in OA patient(329).
1.5. Copper
Used topical Copper-salicylate gel has shown to relief pain for patients with the hip or knee osteoarthritis with side effects of more skin rashes(330). Other topical Cu-Indo gel has shown effectively against joint inflammation in the MIA-treated rat model of osteoarthritis(332).
In a comparison of caeruloplasmin-bound copper in serum copper levels in 49 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis, in 33 patients with osteoarthritis, research found that caeruloplasmin-bound and non-caeruloplasmin bound are both elevate in serum copper levels in the rheumatoid group, as compared to patient with osteoarthritis(331).
1.5. Iron
Reduced in take of rich iron dietary foods and supplements may be necessary for patient with with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, according to studies, synovial iron deposition is found to associate to patient with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis(334). Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), a hereditary disease cause of excessive intestinal absorption of dietary iron, may have a contribution to the synovial iron overload in induction of the progression of HH-related OA(333).
