                                      Apiole

Apiol, a phytochemical monophenols, is also known as parsley apiol, apiole or parsley camphor found mostly in celery, parsley seeds. It has been used as medicine to treat menstrual disorders.


Health Benefits
1. Antinociceptive and 2. anti-inflammatory effects
In the investigation of Essential oil from the roots of I. lanceolatum, obtained by hydrodistillation, was analysed by GC-MS, including myristicin (17.63%), α-asarone (17.23%), methyl isoeugenol (11.19%), apiol (8.82%) and isolongifolol (5.94%) found that the essential oil showed significantly antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects. The results indicate that the essential oil may contain the bioactive components of I. lanceolatum. This is the first report on the chemistry, antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of I. lanceolatum, according to the study of "Chemical composition, antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of essential oil from the roots of Illicium lanceolatum" by Liang J, Huang B, Wang G.(1)

3. Antimicrobial and 4. antiproliferative activity
In the observation of Acetone extracts of leaves, flowers, and stems of A. sicula L., including apiol and myristicin and its effect on cancer cell lines found that antimicrobial activity of acetone extracts was carried out against bacterial and fungal strains and antiproliferative activity against a group of human cancer cell lines (K-562, NCI-H460, and MCF-7), according to "Antimicrobial and antiproliferative activity of Athamanta sicula L. (Apiaceae)" by Stefano VD, Pitonzo R, Schillaci D.(2)

5. Antifungal activity
In demonstration of the extracts prepared from 10 plant species and their effect on Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) which is a systemic granulomatous disease caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Almeida (Onygenales) found that the major components of the hexane fraction of Piper regnellii were 1-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl) benzene (21.94%) and apiol (21.29%). The activities of these fractions against P. brasiliensis without evidence of cytotoxicity to macrophages justify their investigation as a potential source of new chemical agents for the treatment of PCM, according to the study of "Antifungal activity of extracts of some plants used in Brazilian traditional medicine against the pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis" by Johann S, Cisalpino PS, Watanabe GA, Cota BB, de Siqueira EP, Pizzolatti MG, Zani CL, de Resende MA.(3)

6. Carcinogenesis
In the research of Alkoxy derivatives of allylbenzene, including safrole, estragole, methyleugenol, myristicin, dill apiol, and parsley apiol and their effects on DNA found that safrole, estragole, methyleugenol, myristicin, dill apiol, and parsley apiolare capable of altering the DNA in these cells and thus may contribute to human carcinogenesis, according to the study of "DNA adducts from alkoxyallylbenzene herb and spice constituents in cultured human (HepG2) cells" by Zhou GD, Moorthy B, Bi J, Donnelly KC, Randerath K.(4)

7. Cercaricidal effect
In analyzing the composition of the essential oil of the fresh aerial parts of Apium graveolens var. secalinum at its flowering stage, including the main components in the oil are: alpha- and beta-pinene, myrcene, limonene, cis-beta-ocimene, gamma-terpinene, cis-allo-ocimene, trans-farnesene, humulene, apiol, beta-selinene, senkyunolide and neocnidilide and its cercaricidal effect found that the essential oil showed in addition to a cercaricidal effect also a chemotactic effect, according to the study of "The essential oil of Apium graveolens var. secalinum and its cercaricidal activity" by Saleh MM, Zwaving JH, Malingré TM, Bos R.(5)

Among elderly men, cancer of the prostate (451 per 100,000), the lung (449 per 100,000) and the colon (176 per 100,000) make up around half of all diagnosed cancers. Prostate cancer is around 22 times more frequent among elderly men than among younger men. The corresponding most frequent cancers among elderly women, making up 48% of all malignant cancers, are breast (248 per 100,000), colon (133 per 100,000), lung (118 per 100,000) and stomach cancer (75 per 100,000), According to the Danish Cancer Society, Institute of Cancer Epidemiology(PubMed)

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying disordered and uncontrollable way in our body, have become progressively worse and damaged other healthy tissues, sometimes spreads to other organs in the body via lymph or blood and results may be in death.

             Types of factor that cause cancers

1. Aging: Due to weakened immune system as a result of wear and tear over years. Some researchers suspected that free radicals may be one of contributors.

2. Tobacco :Due to chemical causes of cells alternation.

3. Sunlight :Damage to skin as result of ultra violet.

4. ionizing radiation: Any types of hazard chemicals cause of gene mutation.

5. Virus and bacteria: As mentioned above.

6. Hormones: Abnormal production of certain hormones can increase the risk of sex-related cancers.

7. Family history : Check above.

Phytochemials are defined as a group of chemical compound found naturally in plants, including fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, etc. Many studies have proven that they can because of certain phytochemicals, but for what ever reason, there are either no clinical trials follow through or the studies can not make to stage of clinical trials. Do not expect the pharmateutical or foods industrial companies to pay for the researches, as the discovery of the phytochemicals to cure cancers can only dampen the profits of both industries as phytochemicals can not be patented.

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying disordered and uncontrollable way in our body, have become progressively worse and damaged other healthy tissues, sometimes spreads to other organs in the body via lymph or blood and results may be in death.
Food intake can help to prevent and treat cancers.

                           Choriocarinma 

Cancer of Choriocarinma is a malignant and aggressive cancer, started from the abnormal and uncontrollable cells growth in the trophoblatistic tissue, that is part of embryo and normally become the placenta as a result of something going wrong during pregnancy due to random chance.
Placenta is the organ by which the fetus received nutrients and oxygen from the mother.

Molar pregnancy or Hydatidiffrom mole
Molar pregnancy or Hydatidiffrom mole is also started from the trophoblastic tissue, normally is non cancerous but sometimes, it may invade the uterine wall (invasive mole) as a result of a sperm fusing with an with nucleus or something going wrong during pregnancy causing forming of a mass resembling the bunch of grape.

The two types of molar pregnancy are complete molar and partial molar pregnancy.

a. Complete mole pregnancy happens when a single sperm combining with an egg which is deficient with lost its DNA. The sperm that would otherwise fertilize the egg are then left to reduplicate themselves to form a complete 46 chromosome set.

Generally no fetus results from a complete molar pregnancy. Complete hydatidiform moles have a higher risk of developing into choriocarcinoma and happened in 1 out of 1200 pregnancy.

b. Partial mole pregnancy
A partial mole pregnancy occurs when two separate sperm fertilize the same egg, resulting of the nucleus containing one maternal set of genes and two paternal sets. With a partial molar pregnancy, there may result an actual fetus and placenta but fetus is most likely to develop into a partial mole.
Types of foods to prevent and treat Choriocarcinoma and Hydatidiform Mole

Types of foods to prevent and treat Hydatidiform Mole
1. Carnot
Retinoic acid, a types of vitamin A found abundantly in carrot has exerted the protective effect against
Hydatidiform Mole. At clinical trial as many as 67 cases met the requirements for the study. Two cases were lost from observation and three experienced pregnancy. The incidence rate of malignant trophoblastic disease in the control group was 28.6%, and in the therapy group was 6.3%. No difference was found in the changes of SGOT and SGPT levels of the therapy group compared with the control group. The rate of malignant trophoblastic disease (MTD) was reduced in the group receiving vitamin A therapy(1).

2. Chinese cucumber
Trichosanthin found abundantly in Chinese cucumber has been found to be protective against hydatidiform mole."During 1972-1986, 44 of 52 patients (84.6%) with hydatidiform mole were treated successfully with trichosanthin. Of these, 38 (73.1%) had complete spontaneous evacuation and 6 (11.5%) incomplete evacuation. The average time for evacuation of hydatidiform mole was 4.5 +/- 1.64 days. The amount of bleeding was less than 100 ml in 33 patients (75%), while that in 2 of the patients with incomplete evacuation was more than 300 ml. Malignant changes occurred in two of the 44 patients (4.5%). The malignant rate was similar to that (4-12.5, P greater than 0.05) of prophylactic chemotherapy" Dr. Lu PX and Dr. Jin YC. at Shanghai Second Medical University said(2)



3. Kiwifruit
Vitamin C and E found in high amount in Kiwifruit is said to be effective in fighting against hydatidiform mole (CHM). In the study to determine the oxidative status and antioxidative status of plasma of patients with complete hydatidiform mole(CHM) and to compare these values with normal pregnancy, showed that total antioxidant potential (TAOP) of plasma was significantly lower in patients withhydatidiform mole than in healthy pregnant women [mean (SD) values were 511.9 (105.8) and 571.7 (109.4) micromol Trolox equiv./L respectively (p <0.05)]. In contrast, mean (SD) total peroxide level of plasma was significantly higher in the patients [21.8 (6.4) micromol H2O2/L] than in healthy pregnant women [15.6 (6.4) micromol H2O2/L (p <0.001)]. The mean oxidative stress index level was significantly higher in patients with CHM than in healthy pregnant women [4.43 (1.70) versus 2.92 (1.50) respectively (p <0.001)] and concluded that Patients with CHM are exposed to oxidative stress, which may have a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Supplementation with antioxidative vitamins such as C and E could be considered in treatment(3).

                                 Dietary Minerals 

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

                                      Calcium

Calcium, a trace mineral plays an important role in build and maintain strong bones and teeth, found abundantly in meat, poultry, fish, nut, seeds, bean, etc. As we age, calcium is absorbed less effectively.

     Disruption of calcium homeostasis and Alzheimer's disease (AD)

 Oligomerization, conformational changes, and the consequent neurodegeneration of Alzheimer's β-amyloid protein (AβP) play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mounting evidence suggests that oligomeric AβPs cause the disruption of calcium homeostasis, eventually leading to neuronal death, according to the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kyushu University of Health and Welfare(12).

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  Insulin resistance and lipid accumulation product in corelation to body mass index in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

 Insulin resistance and lipid accumulation product in corelation to body mass index in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are at increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and metabolic disorders including: dyslipidaemia, hypertension, insulin resistance, gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes, systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. According to the study by the University of Sarajevo, posted in PubMed, waist circumference in women with BMI < or = 24.9 kg/m2 was 31 cm lower than waist circumference in women with a BMI > 25 kg/m2. Mean triglyceride value of the patients in group BMI < or = 24.9 kg/m2 was 1.15 mmol/l lower than the mean value of triglycerides in women with a BMI > 25 kg/m2. Insulin resistance was present in 66.7% in group with BMI < or = 24.9 kg/m2, and in 75.0% in the group with BMI > 25.0 kg/m2. LAP was shown to be a marker for the differentiation of insulin-resistant and nonresistant patients with a cut-off value of 17.91.

Menorrhagia is defined as a condition of excessive bleeding in the menstruation phase of the menstrual cycle in the reproductive age of a woman leading to heavy blood loss that can interfere with the woman normal activities, as a result of disruption of normal hormonal regulation of periods or disorders of certain reproductive organs.
In traditional Chinese medicine, menorrhagia can be caused by combination of Spleen qi deficiency, liver blood deficiency, damp accumulation and treatments include Tonify spleen qi, nourish blood, resolve dampness.
Please note that in TCM, same disease may be treated with different formula and difference diseases may be treated with the same formula depending to the differentiation.


The Treatments - Herbs for Dampness accumulation 

1. Fu ling(matsuhodo)
Fu ling is one of most frequent used herb in promoting the kidney in urinary secretion and improving the Spleen in food absorption, thereby releasing the water retention in the body and promoting strong kidney and spleen qi in assisting liver function in blood formation and transport blood to circulation system, resulting in lessening the risk of abnormal function of heart.

2. Zhu ling (polyporus sclerotium)
The herb besides promotes kidney urinary secretion, it also helps to expel the dampness ( fluid retention) from the body tissues.

3. Ze Xie (water plantain root)
Ze xie has been used frequently in TCM to clean phlegm caused by lung congestion as a result of
excessive dampness accumulated in the lung. It also improves the kidney function in secreting urine, thereby reducing the risk of fluid retention in the body tissues.

4. Tong Cao (ricepaper plant pith)
Tong cao promotes the lung and stomach channel. Deficiency of yang as a result of dampness (fluid retention) in the body, it interferes with lung function in moving and circulating structural body substances, leading to fluid accumulated in the under layer of the skin. On the other hand, it also helps to improve the spleen function in food absorption and waste secretion, thereby reducing the dampness through urinary secretion.

5. Bei Xie (dioscorea root )
The main function of bei xie is to improve the stomach function in separates the pure from the turbid when the foods enter the stomach, thereby reducing the extra dampness by expelling them through kidney urinary secretion.

6. Han Fang Ji (stephania root)
Han fang ji is one of Chinese herbs that has been used to treat fluid retention in the under layer in the skin of the lower part of body, including the abdomen.
