                           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,.

   Restrictive lung diseases or restrictive ventilatory defects


Restrictive lung disease is a condition marked most obviously by a reduction in total lung capacity. A restrictive ventilatory defect may be caused by a pulmonary deficit, such as pulmonary fibrosis (abnormally stiff, non-compliant lungs), or by non-pulmonary deficits, including respiratory muscle weakness, paralysis, and deformity or rigidity of the chest wall(1).

                       The Treatment

In traditional Chinese medicine perspective
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a restrictive lung disease that may occur idiopathically or as a complication of many diseases. In the study to test a new Chinese medicine formula DSQRL for the treatment of experimental PF in comparison with prednisone, conducted by Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong, showed that at the end of 30 days treatment, the DSQRL treatment achieved a better outcome (p<0.05) than prednisone in terms of histological examination, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid analysis, hydroxyproline assay and complications(36). In other study by the same university to compare the Chinese medicine formula DSQRL from glucocorticoids, indicated that at the end of 60 days treatment, the DSQRL treatment achieved a significantly better outcome than prednisolone in terms of general behavior, histological examination, hydroxyproline content of the lung and inflammatory cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(37)

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



                                                      Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).



                            The Treatment

B. Treatment in herbal and traditional Chinese medicine
B.7. Other essential alternative medicine treatment
4. Spa therapy
Spa therapy may be one the effective technique for treatment of lower back pain, according to some studies(392.321).
In patient with rheumatoid arthritis, spa therapy showed to relief symptoms of pain, stiffness and mobility(395,325) and is considered as one of the best RA rehabilitation in many double-blinded trials through its defectiveness in attenuated pain relief, analgesic drug consumption and pro inflammatory cytokines, improved quality of life, etc.(326)(327).Unfortunately, according to Dr. Verhagen AP and the research team at the Erasmus Medical Center, in the review of two new studies and a total of nine studies involving 579 participants,.there is overall evidence to support that spa therapy is more effective than no treatment, that one type of bath is more effective than another(328).

The finding of a natural source for treatment of Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is an inherited diseases(Mutations in the PKHD1)causing abnormal functions of liver and reno inducing morbidity and mortality in children.
Until today, there is no cure, treatment options for autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, depending to complications, such as chronic pain.


The smoothie for people with chronic pain in Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 1/2 cups cherries cups pineapple
1 slice of ginger root
1 cup of peppermint herbal tea

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

Cherries(1), ginger(4) and peppermint(7) may be the next combination of therapeutic ingredients as pain reliever for treatment of chronic pain in patients with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease.

Cherry, a fleshy drupe, is the fruit of many plants of the genus Prunus cultivated all over the world for commercial profit due to its health potential.

In a randomized double-blind crossover study of 58 non-diabetic patients , oral administration of cherry juice improved the Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, inducing the symptom relief, including pain for patients with mild to moderate knee Osteoarthritis, through lowering the C-reactive protein CRP levels(1).According to the Oregon Health & Science University, the study of fifty-four healthy runners with ingest of 355 mL bottles of tart cherry juice twice daily for 7 day, during a strenuous running event can minimize post-run muscle pain(3).

Dr. Kuehl KS said, "Tart cherries appear to possess similar effectiveness in treating the inflammatory reaction seen in both acute and chronicpain syndromes encountered among athletes and non-athletes with chronic inflammatory disease")2) of that may be used as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient on prevention, treatment, and recovery of soft tissue injury and pain.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root is the genus Zingiber, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil, used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
In primary dysmenorrhea patient, ginger is effective on pain relief without inducing adverse effects and may be used as an alternative treatment for primary dysmenorrhea, according to the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences(4) and treatment of ginger in students with primary dysmenorrhea for 5 days also showed a statistically significant effect on relieving intensity and duration of pain, the Shahed University, study suggested(5).
Furthermore, in osteoarthritic patient, Dr. Therkleson T said," ginger therapy activated a marked relief of osteoarthritis symptoms that progressively improved over the 24 weeks, with no negative effects reported. Ginger therapy needs to be considered by nurses caring for specific personality types with osteoarthritis"(6).

Peppermint is a hybrid mint with small purple or white flowers and downy leaves, in the genus Mentha, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to to Europe. The herb has been used in folk medicine as analgesic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, decongestant, agent and to relieve gas, nausea, and stomach pain due to an irritable bowel, intestinal cramps, or indigestion, infecttion, etc

According to the Translational Research Center for Gastrointestinal Disorders (TARGID), peppermint oil, with antispasmodics may be considered as the first-line treatment for abdominal pain in patient with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)(7).
Menthol, the cooling natural product of peppermint,according to the study conducted by Yale University School of Medicine, is widely used for the relief of acute and inflammatory pain in sports injuries, arthritis, and other painful conditions, through activating the methol induced the sensation of cooling(8).
Dr. Shen YH and Dr. Nahas R. said," Peppermint oil alleviates IBS symptoms, including abdominal pain" and "several complementary and alternative therapies can be recommended as part of an evidence-based approach to the treatment of IBS; these might provide patients with satisfactory relief and improve the therapeutic alliance"(9).
In the 76-year-old woman whose pain had been resistant to standard therapies, application of neat peppermint oil showed to immediately improve in her pain with persistence for 4-6 hours after application of the oil(10).

Taking altogether, People with Chronic Pain due to autosomal recessive polycystic kidney diseasen should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive and liver 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,.

   Restrictive lung diseases or restrictive ventilatory defects


Restrictive lung disease is a condition marked most obviously by a reduction in total lung capacity. A restrictive ventilatory defect may be caused by a pulmonary deficit, such as pulmonary fibrosis (abnormally stiff, non-compliant lungs), or by non-pulmonary deficits, including respiratory muscle weakness, paralysis, and deformity or rigidity of the chest wall(1).

                             The Treatment

In conventional medicine perspective
Treatments are depending to the underline causes in diagnosis
F.1.1. Non medication Therapies
1. Pulmonary rehabilitation
Pulmonary rehabilitation programs improve exercise tolerance, muscle strength, and dyspnea in patients with COPD. In the study to assess prospectively the effectiveness and feasibility of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with restrictive lung diseases by Department of Respiratory Medicine, Ghent University Hospital, showed that patients with RLD respond well after 12 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation, and even better results were seen after 24 weeks. Clinically significant improvements were obtained in the majority of the patients after 24 weeks(26).
2. Oxygen therapy
Collective experience with pulmonary rehabilitation and disease management has shown that patients with lung diseases including COPD and restrictive lung diseases live a longer and more productive quality of life if they can remain active(27).
3. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
The aim of CPAP is to provide continuous positive pressure to maintain a continuous level of positive airway pressure of that can improve oxygenation in a patient whose hypoxemia is refractory to oxygen therapy. Evidence suggests that use of CPAP for longer than 6 hours decreases sleepiness, improves daily functioning, and restores memory to normal levels(28).
4. Mechanical ventilation support
The aim of Mechanical ventilation is to mechanically assist or replace spontaneous breathing, if the patient is on his/her way to respiratory failure. High levels of prolonged pressure support ventilation promote diaphragmatic atrophy and contractile dysfunction. Furthermore, similar to controlled mechanical ventilation, pressure support ventilation-induced diaphragmatic atrophy and weakness are associated with both diaphragmatic oxidative stress and protease activation(29).
F.1.2. Medication therapy
1. Inhaled corticosteroids
Inhaled corticosteroids act locally in the lungs to inhibit the inflammatory process and support the function to relieve the symptoms of Restrictive lung disease. In the study of nine pregnant women with interstitial and restrictive lung disease between 1981 and 1994, showed that hree patients had severe disease, characterized by vital capacity < or = 1.5 L (50% predicted) or diffusing capacity < or = 50% predicted. Five patients had exercise-induced oxygen desaturation, and four required supplemental oxygen. Five patients required corticosteroids. One patient had an adverse outcome; she was delivered at 31 weeks and required mechanical ventilation for 72 hours. All other patients were delivered at or beyond 36 weeks with no adverse intrapartum or postpartum complications(30).
2. Immunosuppressive therapy
The aim of Immunosuppressive therapy is to reduce the immune response. Some researchers suggested that adverse drug reactions should be considered in patients with concomitant lung and liver disease(31).
3. Reducing fluid buildup in the lungs
If the underlined causes of the disease is as a result of cardiac problem.
F.1.3. Surgery
If the underlined causes as a result of abdominal problems, such as obesity, remove abdominal tumors, repair diaphragmatic hernias, etc. In the study to describe the outcome of surgical treatment for pediatric patients with forced vital capacity (FVC) <40% and severe vertebral deformity, showed that corrective scoliosis surgery in pediatric patients with severe restrictive lung disease is well tolerated, but the management of this population requires extensive experience with the vertebral surgery involved, and a multidisciplinary approach that includes pulmonologists, nutritionists and anesthesiologists. Currently, there is no indication for routine preoperative tracheostomy(32).

Massage therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine over thousands of year for treatment of osteoarthritis (OA)(392,321) was effective in reduced pain of mild to moderate juvenile rheumatoid arthritis through mediation of children's anxiety and stress hormone (cortisol) levels(322).
Furthermore, in a forty-two adults with rheumatoid arthritis, light pressure massage therapy improved grip strength following the first and last massage sessions, reduced pain and promoted range of motion in their wrist and large upper joints (elbows and shoulders) by the end of the one month period(324).
Dr. Field T said," Moderate pressure massage,....increased weight gain in preterm infants, reduced pain in different syndromes including fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, enhanced attentiveness, reduced depression and enhanced immune function (increased natural killer cells and natural killer cell activity).......(as well as) reduced depression, anxiety and heart rate, ...... increased vagal activity and decreased cortisol levels"(323)

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Glomerulosclerosis
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1  cup sweet potato
1/2  cup carrot
1 cup Spanish drink

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 Glomerulosclerosis 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.

Glomerulosclerosis is a health conditon of hardening of the glomerulus with function of filterring urine from the blood in the kidney. Recent studies suggested that CoQ10 found abundantly in spinach may benefit patients with Glomerulosclerosis. Defects in coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) biosynthesis, manifested in patient-derived lymphoblastoid cell lines(3) is associated to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in children and in adults(2).
According to the Lorestan University of Medical Sciences, Coenzyme Q10 alleviated glomerulosclerosis on the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes activity in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats(1).

Vitamin E, found abundantly in sweet potato, ameliorated  expression of glomerulosclerosis, restored renal neuronal nitric oxide synthesis (NOS) by suppressing the  oxidative stress in animal model(4)

Retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A , found in carrot can revert renal progenitor differentiation and promote podocyte regeneration in progression toward glomerulosclerosis(5).
According to the The First Affiliaionted Hospital of GuangXi Medical University, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a promising therapeutic agent with function mimicked those of vitamin A, exhibited the protective effect against glomerulosclerosis (GS) lesions in rats, similar to renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS)(6).
Dr. Zhou TB and colleagues at the The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, said, "(all-trans retinoic acid) ATRA can increase the gelatinases expressions and reduce the accumulation of apoE in glomerulus of GS rats,...."(7).

The effectiveness of Spanish, Sweet Potato and Carrot may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for for Reduced Risk  and treatment of Glomerulosclerosis with little or no adverse effects.
People who are at increased risk of Glomerulosclerosis due to aging, weaken reno function.,..... should drink the smoothie twice a day and people with Glomerulosclerosis 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,.

   Restrictive lung diseases or restrictive ventilatory defects


Restrictive lung disease is a condition marked most obviously by a reduction in total lung capacity. A restrictive ventilatory defect may be caused by a pulmonary deficit, such as pulmonary fibrosis (abnormally stiff, non-compliant lungs), or by non-pulmonary deficits, including respiratory muscle weakness, paralysis, and deformity or rigidity of the chest wall(1).


                                   The Prevention

1. Lose weight if you are Obese
Obesity is associated to the increased risk of Restrictive lung disease. According to the study to evaluate the effects of obesity on the pulmonary function of adult women, showed that the alterations evidenced in the components of the vital capacity (inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume) suggest damage to the chest mechanics caused by obesity. These factors probably contributed to a reduction of the maximal voluntary ventilation(22).
2. Quit smoking
A similar trend was observed in the control group indicating that smoking had a deteriorating effect on spirometric tests. The results of the pulmonary function tests showed a predominantly restrictive type of pulmonary impairment (12.3%) followed by a mixed ventilatory defect (8.7%)(23).
3. Prevention of occupational causes of the diseases and second smoke
In the study to investigate symptomatology, lung function, and radiographic change over an average period of 8 to 9 yr, of Sixty-four subjects with asbestos-related diffuse pleural thickening attending the London Medical Boarding Centre for Respiratory Diseases, showed that Chest pain was a common symptom, occurring in over half of the subjects. Approximately one-third of the subjects had a history of pleurisy or pleural effusion. Full long function, available in all cases, showed a highly significant decrement (p < 0.001) compared with predicted values in all variables except gas transfer coefficient (Kco) at initial presentation, consistent with a restrictive ventilatory defect(24).
4. Traditional Mediterranean diet
