                   Cirrhosis 

Cirrhosis is defined as a condition of irreversible scarring liver as a result of liver tissue by fibrosis due to final phase of chronic liver diseases of that can lead to poor function of the liver and liver failure. According to the statistics, Number of discharges with chronic liver disease or cirrhosis as the first-listed diagnosis: 101,000 in 2009 and Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.3 in 2010(a). Hepatitis B infection cause of the disease is very prevalent in South-East Asia.


                      The prevention


Antioxidants to prevent Cirrhosis
1. Probiotics and antioxidants
In the study to to determine the effect of Lactobacillus johnsonii La1 andantioxidants on intestinal flora, endotoxemia, and bacterial translocation in cirrhotic rats, found that rats treated with antioxidants and Lactobacillus johnsonii La1 showed a decrease in endotoxemia with respect to cirrhotic rats receiving water (P<0.05). Antioxidants alone or in combination with Lactobacillus johnsonii La1 can be useful in preventing bacterial translocation in cirrhosis(63).


2. Caryophyllene (CAR)
Caryophyllene (CAR) is a common constituent of the essential oil of numerous plants, vegetables, fruits and medicinal herbs, and has been used as a flavouring agent since the 1930 s. According to the study by Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves, indicated that CAR significantly improved liver structure, and reducedfibrosis and the expression of Col1a1, Tgfb1 and Timp1 genes. Oxidative stress was used to establish a model of HSC activation with overproduction of extracellular matrix proteins. CAR (1 and 10 μm) increased cell viability and significantly reduced the expression of fibrotic marker genes. CAR, a sesquiterpene present in numerous plants and foods, is as a natural antioxidant that reduces carbon tetrachloride-mediated liver fibrosis and inhibits hepatic cell activation(64).

3. Vitamins C and E
Antioxidants vitamins C and E are free radical scavengers. In the study of undertaken to find the therapeutic efficacy of naringenin (NGN) plus vitamins C and E on Cd-induced oxidative hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats, by Annamalai University, showed that treatment with NGN and vitamins C and E in combination more significantly improved the altered biochemical and histopathological changes in the liver of Cd-intoxicated rats than the NGN or vitamins C and E treatment alone(65).

4. Selenium
In the study to investigte the effect of selenium deficiency Effects, induced by thioacetamide, showed that thioacetamide (0.3 g/L) given in drinking water, as expected, caused a significant loss of selenium from the liver. It was accompanied by liver cirrhosis and a significant increase in the liver weight as well as liver to body weight ratio. A significant loss of selenium from spleen was also accompanied by an increase in its weight. Weights of lungs, testis and kidney, however, were not affected by thioacetamide and there was no change in theirselenium content. Plasma levels of selenium were significantly reduced in the thioacetamide treated group. All these changes were confirmed to be due toselenium deficiency caused by thioacetamide, as supplementation with seleniumreversed these changes. The mode of action of selenium is unknown but may involve anti-oxidant defense mechanisms(66).

                                 Dietary Minerals 

Dietary Minerals are the group of minerals which is essential for our body to sustain normal functions and physical health.

                                      Boron

Boron, a vital trace mineral found abundantly in Almond, Red Apple, Apricots, Avocado, Banana, Red kidneyBeans, etc., is necessary for the normal growth and health of the body. Boric acid has antiseptic and antiviral activity. Its aqueous solutions have been used as mouth-washes, eye-drops, skin lotions and cosmetics.

                          The effects of boron supplementation in males

In the study to examine the effect of boron supplementation in 10 male bodybuilders, who (aged 20 to 26) were given a 2.5-mg boron supplement, with nine male bodybuilders (aged 21 to 27) were given a placebo for 7 weeks. Plasma total and free testosterone, plasma boron, lean body mass, and strength measurements were determined on day 1 and day 49, found that bBoth groups demonstrated significant increases in totaltestosterone (p < 0.01), lean body mass (p < 0.01), and one repetition maximum (RM) squat (p < 0.001) and one RM bench press (p < 0.01). The findings suggest that 7 weeks of bodybuilding can increase total testosterone, lean body mass, and strength in lesser-trained bodybuilders, but boron supplementation affects these variables not at all(4).

                    Overcome Infertility 

Infertility is defined as inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. It effects over 5 millions couple alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of unawareness of treatments, only 10% seeks help from professional specialist.

                      Unexplained Causes of Infertility


1. Abnormal eggs
The egg produced by the ovaries may be good quality, but for what ever reason the modern technology fails to detect the deformed structure or chromosomal abnormalities in the egg leading to inability for the egg to be fertilized by the sperm.

2. Luteinized unruptured follicle (LUF) syndrome
There are possible that the matured egg produced by the ovaries without being released and trapped inside the unbroken corpus luteum.

3. Immune system disorder
It may be caused by abnormal immune function by which the immune system recognizes the sperm from the male partner as a foreign invasion and kill them or caused by immune system coating the mature egg, thereby preventing the sperm to penetrate it.

4. Infection and inflammation
Sexual transmitted diseases such as chlamydia may be presented in the women or the men body, but the modern technology can not detect it.

5. Sperm malfunction
In this case the egg is normal, but for what ever reason, the sperm can not penetrate it.

6. Medical condition
Some mild medical condition in the women reproductive organ such as mild case of endometriosis may interfere the implantation of egg in the uterine lining, but hard for medical technology to detect it.

Since there are hundreds ( may be thousand) of molecular and biochemical events that have to happen orderly and perfectly in order for the couple to conceive, unexplained causes of infertility may be one of the reason which drive many couples to seek help from alternative medicine.

                         Thyroid disease


Thyroid disease is defined as a condition of malfunction of thyroid. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is over active and produces too much thyroid hormones.


             Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome

Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome is defined as a condition of which affected individuals have elevated serum thyroid hormone levels and inappropriately normal or elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) but are usually clinically euthyroid and require no treatment. Selective pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone (PRTH) is characterized by resistance in the pituitary gland but not in peripheral tissues(a).


                                         The Causes and Risk Factors

The  Causes
Genetic mutation
Thyroid hormone resistance occurs when a genetic mutation in the thyroid hormone receptor leads to reduced hormone binding affinity; the concentration of free thyroid hormone in the circulation is inversely correlated with the hormone binding affinity of the mutant receptor(6), such as mutation in the THRbeta gene, A317T(7) and E333D(8). According to the study of Syndromes of reduced sensitivity to thyroid hormone: genetic defects in hormone receptors, cell transporters and deiodination by the University of Chicago, Mutations in MCT8 and SECISBP2 have also been associated with this condition(9) and a patient with the unusual coincidence of two rare congenital disorders, lingual ectopy of the thyroid gland and resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH), resulting in impaired thyroid hormone production and action, respectively(10). Thyroid hormone resistance syndrome affect approximately 1 in 40,000 live births and of of which over 100 different mutations have been identified. 

The Risk factors
1. Dominant inheritance
Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is an inherited syndrome of reduced tissue responsiveness to thyroid hormone. To date, all individuals expressing the RTH phenotype have been found to harbor mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (TR beta) gene that impair T3-mediated function(11). Others reported a baby at age 70 days, an R243W mutation in thyroid hormone receptor β was detected in our patient; while absent in his mother, the mutation was present in his father, who never showed any symptoms(12).

2. Graves’ disease
Resistance to thyroid hormone is a syndrome caused by thyroid hormone receptor β mutations, which are usually inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern. There is a report of a resistance to thyroid hormone in a neonate presenting with hyperthyroid symptoms born to a mother with Graves’ disease and treated with methimazole and iodine(12).

3. Minor alterations at the DNA level
Mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor (TR) beta gene are responsible for RTH and 122 different mutations have now been identified belonging to 300 families. With the exception of one family found to have complete deletion of the TRbeta gene, all others have been demonstrated to have minor alterations at the DNA level, according to the study by the Stoke Mandeville Hospital(13).

Obesity is a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime, while overweight is a condition of excess body weight relatively to the height. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered over weight, while a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.

You can calculate your BMI index BMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is defined as endocrinologic diseases caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interferes with the function of the normal ovaries as resulting of enlarged ovaries, leading to hormone imbalance( excessive androgen), resulting in male pattern hair development, acne,irregular period or absence of period, weight gain and effecting fertility. It effects over 5% of women population or 1 in 20 women.
The Studies of Polycystic ovary syndrome: impact on metabolism and fertility


Obesity is frequently present in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the metabolic, endocrine, and reproductive abnormalities associated with this syndrome. In the study to to summarize the effects of lifestyle changes and anti-obesity pharmacotherapy in patients with PCOS, by reviewing the literature regarding the effects of lifestyle changes and anti-obesity agents on the metabolic and endocrine abnormalities of PCOS. Lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise, and behavioral modification, appear to improve the metabolic and reproductive abnormalities of overweight and obese patients with PCOS, posted in PubMed, indicated that lifestyle changes appear to represent the first-line management for all overweight and obese patients with PCOS. However, the optimal composition of diet and the optimal type of exercise in these patients are unknown. Anti-obesity agents that have been studied in PCOS include orlistat, sibutramine, and rimonabant. However, the latter two agents have been withdrawn from the market because of side effects. Long-term studies with orlistat in overweight and obese diabetic patients showed greater weight loss and metabolic and cardiovascular benefits than those achieved with lifestyle changes alone.
