                  Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is defined as endocrinologic diseases among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interferes with the function of the normal ovaries associated with a high risk for metabolic disorder(1) as resulting of enlarged ovaries(2), leading to hormone imbalance(excessive androgen and anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) )(1)(3)(4)(5), induced Hirsutism(6)(7), reproductive disorder(10(12)), risks of type 2 diabetes(9)(10)(11), metabolic syndrome(10)(12) and early cardiovascular disease(8)(13), acne(10)(14), endometrial cancer(18)(19),weight gain and obesity(15)(16)(17). The syndrome effects over 5% of women population or 1 in 20 women.
Unfortunately, according to studies, women with PCOs after the reproductive age, are associated to continuously increase risk of type II diabetes, with no increasingaltered glucose tolerance(20), CVD and hypertension(21)

                            The symptoms

Women with PCOs may experience some of the symptoms below
1. Irregular(22), oligomenorrhea(23)or absent menstrual periods(26)
2. Male pattern hair growth(22)
3. Acne(22)
4. Weight gain(22)

Health benefits
A. Health benefits according to studies
1. Cell Apoptosis
In the assessment of the extract of red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) and its effect in suppressing the development of multi-organ tumors found that betanin, the majorbetacyanin constituent, may play an important role in the cytotoxicity exhibited by the red beetroot extract. Further studies are needed to evaluate the chemopreventive potentials of the beetroot extract when used alone or in combination with doxorubicin to mitigate the toxic side-effects of the latter, according to "Cytotoxic effect of the red beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) extract compared to doxorubicin (Adriamycin) in the human prostate (PC-3) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines" by Kapadia GJ, Azuine MA, Rao GS, Arai T, Iida A, Tokuda H.(a)

2. Antioxidants
In the assessment of betacyanins and betaxanthins found in cactus pear fruit ( Opuntia ficus indica L. Mill. cv. Gialla and Rossa) and red beet ( Beta vulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris) indicated that Betaxanthins were wholly soluble in the aqueous (bioaccessible) fraction after ultracentrifugation of the postintestinal (PI) digesta, whereas release of betacyanins from the matrix was incomplete. PI digesta inhibited dose-dependently the oxidation of methyl linoleate in methanol, an effect not correlated with the betalain content, according to "In vitro digestion of betalainic foods. Stability and bioaccessibility of betaxanthins and betacyanins and antioxidative potential of food digesta" by Tesoriere L, Fazzari M, Angileri F, Gentile C, Livrea MA.(b)

3. Cardiovascular diseases
In the classification of the effect of fruits and vegetables in blood pressure (BP) and the risk of adverse cardiovascular events found that approximately 3 hours after ingestion of a dietary nitrate load (beetroot juice 500 mL), BP was substantially reduced (Delta(max) -10.4/8 mm Hg); an effect that correlated with peak increases in plasma nitrite concentration. The dietary nitrate load also prevented endothelial dysfunction induced by an acute ischemic insult in the human forearm and significantly attenuated ex vivo platelet aggregation in response to collagen and ADP, according to "Acute blood pressure lowering, vasoprotective, and antiplatelet properties of dietary nitrate via bioconversion to nitrite" by Webb AJ, Patel N, Loukogeorgakis S, Okorie M, Aboud Z, Misra S, Rashid R, Miall P, Deanfield J, Benjamin N, MacAllister R, Hobbs AJ, Ahluwalia A.(c)

4. Lung and Skin Cancer
In the assessment of Beta vulgaris (beet) root extract and its effect on cancers found that in vivo anti-tumor promoting activity evaluation against the mice skin and lung bioassays also revealed a significant tumor inhibitory effect. The combined findings suggest that beetroot ingestion can be one of the useful means to prevent cancer, according to "Chemoprevention of lung and skin cancer byBeta vulgaris (beet) root extract" by Kapadia GJ, Tokuda H, Konoshima T, Nishino H.(d)

5. Etc.

B. Health benefits according to concentration
1. Folate
In the investigation of the prevalence and multifactorial etiology of anemia among Indian human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children and its effect onanemia, found that Anemia, particularly iron deficiency anemia and anemia of inflammation, is highly prevalent among children with HIV infection. Micronutrient supplements (iron and, folate) combined with ART(antiretroviral therapy) improved anemia in HIV-infected children, according to "The prevalence and etiology of anemia among HIV-infected children in India" by Shet A, Arumugam K, Rajagopalan N, Dinakar C, Krishnamurthy S, Mehta S, Shet AS.(1)

2. Manganese
It is one of important trace in preventing osteoporosis, according to the study of "[Study of estrogen deficiency impact on manganese levels in teeth and mandible of rats after ovariectomy]. [Article in Polish]" by Rahnama M, Błoniarz J, Zareba S, Swiatkowski W.(2)and regulating blood sugar level, according to the study of "[An inadequate intake of manganese may favour insulin resistance in girls]. [Article in Spanish]" by Rodríguez-Rodríguez E, Bermejo LM, López-Sobaler AM, Ortega RM.(3)

3. Dietary fiber
Daily intake of right amount of fibers can prvent and treata. Diabetes, as Increased consumption of vegetables, whole grains, and soluble and insoluble fiber is associated with improved glucose metabolism in both diabetic and nondiabetic individuals. Improvements in insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis were more evident in participants following a plant-based diet compared with other commonly used diets, according to the study of "Efficacy of high-fiber diets in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus" by Wolfram T, Ismail-Beigi F.(4)

4. Potassium
Potassium beside is important in maintaining the regular contraction and relaxation of the muscle, that helps to reducing the risk of hypokalemia, it also helps the lymphatic system in regulating the levels of fluid in the body, thus lessening the risk of lymphedema, swelling caused by the accumulation of lymph fluid. In a study of "Narrative review: evolving concepts in potassium homeostasis andhypokalemia" by Greenlee M, Wingo CS, McDonough AA, Youn JH, Kone BC., posted in PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19414841), researchers found that recent experimental insights into the participation of feedback and feedforward control mechanisms in potassium homeostasis. New data make clear that feedforward homeostatic responses activate when decreased potassiumintake is sensed, even when plasma potassium concentration is still within the normal range and before frank hypokalemia ensues, in addition to the classic feedback activation of renal potassium conservation when plasma potassiumconcentration decreases.

5. Vitamin C
In the evaluation of pulmonary dysfunction. and it effects on pulmonary dysfunction found that At present, evidence from randomised-controlled trials is insufficient to recommend a specific role for vitamin C in the treatment of asthma. Further methodologically strong and large-scale randomised controlled trials are needed in order to address the question of the effectiveness of vitamin C in children with asthma but some outcome data showed effectiveness on lung function, symptom scores, IgE levels and inhaled steroid use. One small study showed a significant difference in % drop in FEV1 post-exercise, according to the study of "Vitamin C supplementation for asthma" by Kaur B, Rowe BH, Arnold E.(5)

6. Tryptophan
Tryptophan is one of the 10 essential amino acids which the body uses to synthesize the proteins for brain cells need, thus enhancing the nerve cells in information transmitting between themselves and cells in the parts of the body that reduces the risk of anxiety and depression, according to the study of "The effects of tryptophan depletion on neural responses to emotional words in remitted depression" by Roiser JP, Levy J, Fromm SJ, Nugent AC, Talagala SL, Hasler G, Henn FA, Sahakian BJ, Drevets WC.(6)

7. Etc.

C. Other health benefits
1. Heart diseases
Fermentation products of sugar-beet fiber reduces bad cholesterol (LDL)by binding to them and expelling through digestive process, thus decreasing the risk of cholesterol plaque building up in the arterial walls. Other than that, beet also contains betaine that helps to lowers the levels of homocysteine, which is harmful to the blood vessels, according to "Fermentation products of sugar-beet fiber by cecal bacteria lower plasma cholesterol concentration in rats" by Hara H, Haga S, Kasai T, Kiriyama S.(I)

2. Prevent birth defect
Beet contains measurable amount of folate, which is essential to prevent neural tube defects by enhancing its functioning in synthesizing and repairing DNA aiding rapid and proper cell division and growth, according to "Folic Acid supplementation and pregnancy: more than just neural tube defectprevention" by Greenberg JA, Bell SJ, Guan Y, Yu YH.(II)

3. Cancer prevention
Since beetroot contains high amount of antioxidants that help to improve the immune function in fighting the forming of free radicals, by enhancing the proper cell replication and division, that reduce the risk of tumors and cancers, according to "Total extract of Beta vulgaris var. cicla seeds versus its purified phenolic components: antioxidant activities and antiproliferative effects against coloncancer cells" by Gennari L, Felletti M, Blasa M, Angelino D, Celeghini C, Corallini A, Ninfali P.(III)

4. Red blood cells
Iron helps to deliver oxygen ans nutrients to the body cells need due to its functioning of the production of red blood cells and formation of hemoglobin of that enhances the absorption of oxygen from the lung.

5. Etc.

Side effects

1. Oxalates Oxalates in the beet can cause kidney and gallbadder problem. People with above diseases should contact their doctor before consuming.
2. Increase the rick of lowering calcium absorption for people with weak digestive system.

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Sarcoidosis
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1  cups of raspberry
1/2 cup olive1 cup of pineapple juice

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 Sarcoidosis 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.

Sarcoidosis, is an inflammatory disease caused by abnormal collections of inflammatory cells (granulomas) induced the form of nodules in multiple organs, including the liver. According to the Maastricht University, patients with sarcoidosis are found to have lower antioxidant defense and exaggerated oxidative stress(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.

Quercetin, antioxidant found in raspberry may consist a beneficial and potential use in reduced inflammation of sarcoidosis, through inhibition of pro inflammatory cytokines(1). According to the University of Maastricht, intake of quercetin reduced the occurring oxidative stress as well as inflammation found in the in the blood of sarcoidosis patients(2).
Due to its inflammatory effects in nature, long term intake anti inflammatory from natural sources may reduce symptoms and for treatment of sarcoidosis, logically.

Bromelain, derived from pineapple with the power of anti anti-inflammation and anti-cancers(3) may be beneficiary for people with inflammatory diseases(3). According to University of Maryland medical center, 500 mg per day of bromelain may reduce inflammation caused in patient with sarcoidosis(4).

ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid found abundantly in flax seed oil and olive plays a critical role played by inflammation in the pathogenesis of several diseases(5), through inhibition of production of inflammatory cytokines and improvement of lipid metabolism(5)(6).

The effectiveness of Raspberry, Olive and Pineapple Juices may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for reduced risk, complications and treatment of sarcoidosis with little or no adverse effects.

People who are at high risk of Sarcoidosis due to aging, weaken immunity, .... should drink at least one serving daily and people with Sarcoidosis should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.

Life style and dietary pattern change are recommended.

The Research and Studies of Green tea on weight loss and weight maintenance

There have been different outcomes of the effect of green tea on weight loss (WL) and weight maintenance (WM) have been reported in studies with subjects differing in ethnicity and habitual caffeine intake. In the review conducted by Nutrition and Toxicology Research Institute Maastricht (NUTRIM) Maastricht University(1), out of the 49 studies initially identified, a total of 11 articles fitted the inclusion criteria and provided useful information for the meta-analysis. Effect sizes (mean weight change in treatment versus control group) were computed and aggregated based on a random-effects model. researchers concluded that Catechins significantly decreased body weight and significantly maintained body weight after a period of WL (microcirc=-1.31 kg; P<0.001). Inhibition of this effect by high habitual caffeine intake (>300 mg per day) failed to reach significance (microcirc=-0.27 kg for high and microcirc=-1.60 kg for low habitual caffeine intake; P=0.09). Also, the seemingly smaller effect of catechins in Caucasian (microcirc=-0.82 kg) subjects compared with Asians (microcirc=-1.51 kg; P=0.37) did not reach significance. Interaction of ethnicity and caffeine intake was a significant moderator (P=0.04).

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions which affect 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,.

Benign lung tumors, growth from many different structures in the lung, is defined as a conditions of abnormal cell growth with no tendency of spreading or masses that push normal cells out of the way rather than invading surrounding tissue restricted to a limited area in the lung. Approximately one out of 500 chest radiographs shows the incidental finding of a solitary pulmonary nodule and almost one half of these pulmonary lesions are caused by a tumor. Unfortunately, only 2% to 5% of alllung tumors are of benign origin, e. g. lipoma, fibroma, hamartoma, and chondroma, and the majority are malignant, most commonly primarylung cancer followed by metastases of extrapulmonary primary carcinomas. According to the study by Universitätsklinik für Pneumologie(a).

                       The Causes 

1. Infectious and inflammatory causes of benign lung tumors
a. An infectious fungus such as coccidioidomycosis
Coccidioidomycosis refers to the spectrum of disease caused by the dimorphic fungi Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii. Clinical manifestations vary depending upon both the extent of infection and the immune status of the host. Coccidioidomycosis has been reported to involve almost all organ systems; however, pulmonary disease is the most common clinical manifestation. The incidence of coccidioidomycosis continues to rise, and primary coccidioidal pneumonia accounts for 17 to 29% of all cases of community-acquired pneumonia in endemic regions. The majority of patients with coccidioidomycosis resolve their initial infection without sequelae; however, several patients develop complications of disease ranging in severity from complicated pulmonary coccidioidomycosis to widely disseminated disease with immediately life-threatening manifestations, according to the study by the University of California-Davis(5).

Other study report a case of a 61-year-old gentleman presented with shortness of breath, cough, weight loss, but no fever or hemoptysis. His physical exam was unremarkable except for decreased air entry on both lung fields, and axillary and inguinal lymphadenopathies. Computed tomography of the chest showed bilateral cavitary lung lesions, biopsy of which showed non caseating granulomas, and tissue culture showing Histoplasma capsulatum(6). 

b. Tuberculosis (TB)
Chordoma is an uncommon tumor initially believed to be benign due to the rarity of its metastasis. Cytological, morphological, and immunohistochemical features of chordoma, relating to its origin from notochordal remnants, allows for its accurate diagnosis. According to the study by University of Saskatchewan, there is a report of a 75-year-old man with a known history of tuberculosis (TB) presented with shortness of breath and a dry cough. A chest X-ray demonstrated a diffuse, infiltrative miliary pattern in both lungs. Bronchial washings submitted for culture and cytological examination did not identify any tuberculous bacilli. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) showed focal areas of myxoid regions with small, round, uniform mononuclear cells. There was a documented past history of chordoma arising from the L2 vertebrae. Because of the rarity of this lesion in the lung and the limited diagnostic material available with a clinical history of TB and lumbar chordoma, the pathological report rendered on the FNAC was “atypical cells suspicious for metastatic chordoma(7).

c. A lung abscess
Capnocytophaga species are known commensals of the oral cavity of humans and animals (mainly dogs and cats) and are a rare cause of respiratory tract infections. There is a report of a case of cavitary lung abscess caused by a Capnocytophaga species in a patient with a metastatic neuroendocrine tumor, according to the study by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center(8).

d. Round pneumonia
The differential diagnose between round pneumonia and a neoplastic process is difficult to make. In this report, all of cases of round pneumonia have resolved clinically and radiographically with antibiotic therapy, according to the study by (9).

e. Parasitic infections
According to the study by Department of Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Multiple benign pulmonary nodules are rare and are from a variety of etiologies. Infectious causes, such as histoplasmosis, tuberculosis, or parasitic infections, usually require biopsy for confirmation(9a).

2. Diseases casues of benign lung tumors
d. Rheumatoid arthritis
In the study to examine the role of lung disease in rheumatoid arthritis from a clinical, epidemiologic, pathophysiologic, and therapeutic perspective, showed that lung disease in rheumatoid arthritis is a heterogeneous and oftentimes serious condition, with a profound impact on patient wellbeing and survival. Advances in the understanding of its etiology and targeted application of available, as well as development of new, more specific therapeutics will be of benefit to patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are suffering from lung disease(10).

e. Wegener granulomatosis
Wegener’s granulomatosis is a type of vasculitis, or inflammation of the blood vessels. Wegener’s granulomatosis is a systemic vasculitis that primarily involves the upper and lower respiratory tracts and kidneys. Pulmonary Wegener’s granulomatosis can present with multifocal lung involvement or solitary lung lesions with no evidence of extrapulmonary disease, according to the study by the research team of Dr. S Uppal.(11).

f. Sarcoidosis
There is a report of a case of a 65-year-old woman with a high initial index of suspicion for lung malignancy. Clinicians should always be aware that sarcoidosis enters the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with a lung mass that encases and narrows bronchial and vascular structures with associated pericardial effusion. Rarely, pleural effusion can be the presenting symptom of disease relapse despite maintenance treatment(12).

g. Leiomyoma
Benign metastasizing leiomyoma, is rare but occurs from a low-grade leiomyoma that most commonly spreads from the uterus(13).

h. Meningiomas
Meningiomas are generally benign tumors, but rarely metastasize outside of the central nervous system. There is a report of a 25-year-old female was admitted to our institute because of an abnormal shadow on her chest x-ray. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a 3-cm, well- circumscribed mass in the right lower lobe of the lung. We performed thoracotomy and resected three pulmonary tumors at the right lung and diaphragm. Histological examination revealed a benign meningothelial meningioma. Six months later, she complained of heaviness of her head and a head CT scan revealed an intracranial mass(13a).

3. Birth defected causes of benign lung tumors
The relationship between congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) and pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), whether causal, correlational, or coincidental, remains controversial. In the study of Seventy-four CCAMs resected over the study period in 129 children diagnosed with CCAM. Five PPBs were diagnosed during the study period. Three of the 5 PPB cases were initially diagnosed as CCAMs. These PPBs were not clinically or radiologically distinguishable from CCAMs, found that asymptomatic cystic lung malformations represent a therapeutic dilemma. In this cohort, the incidence of PPB among apparently benign lung lesions was 4%. No clinical or radiological markers differentiated benign CCAMs from PPBs. Our experience provides further justification for resection of all CCAMs(14).

What is Candida Albicans

Candida albicans are members of a large group of micro organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within the membranes, including yeast(2)(3), fungi(4)(5)(6), and mold(6) that live among the gut flora in the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract. In fact, under normal circumstances, Candida albicans that do not cause harmful effects, but overgrowth results in candidiasis. Non-albicansCandida (NAC) species cause 35-65% of all candidaemias in the general patient population(1). According to joint study, in many cases, biofilm(microorganisms with cells stick to each other on a surface) formation(7) gene mutations(8) and overexpression of genes(9)(10) are often associated with increased Candidaresistance toward antifungal agents.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine 
In traditional Chinese medicine, candidiasis is defined as a malfunction of the Triple Burner-related condition due to spleen and stomach disorder(401), causing excess fluid or phlegm in our system(402), weakening immune system(403)(402), leading to damp heat accumulates in the Lower, Middle and Upper Burner causes of candidiasis(401).


                        Cleansing TCM Herbs
