Health Benefits
1. Anti-inflammatory activity
In the evaluation of essential oil (dillapiole) of Piper aduncum L. (Piperaceae) and it anti-inflammatory activity found that dillapiole and di-hydrodillapiole have moderate anti-phlogistic properties, indicating that they can be used as prototypes for newer anti-inflammatory compounds, according to "The anti-inflammatory activity ofdillapiole and some semisynthetic analogues" by Parise-Filho R, Pastrello M, Pereira Camerlingo CE, Silva GJ, Agostinho LA, de Souza T, Motter Magri FM, Ribeiro RR, Brandt CA, Polli MC.(1)

2 . Liver, 3. Colon, 4. Breast cancer cell line
In the evaluation of essential oil and their anti-cancer effects found that simultaneous hydrodistillation-solvent (n-pentane) extraction sample showed the most potent activity against the3 human cancers (with IC50) values of 1.67, 1.34, and 3.38 microg/ml against the liver, colon, and breast cancer cell lines, according to the study of "Effect of the method of preparation on the composition and cytotoxic activity of the essential oil of Pituranthos tortuosus" by Abdallah HM, Ezzat SM.(2)

5. Antibacterial activities
In the observation of root oil dominated by dillapiole (47.4%) and myristicin (19.2%) from Ridolfia segetum, a traditional medicinal plant widely distributed in Tunisia and its antibacterial and antioxidant effects found that he minimum inhibitory concentrations of the essential oil varied between 1.25 and 5 mg mL(-1) and the minimum bactericidal concentrations were superior to 5 mg mL(-1) of oil for most strains, according to "Chemical composition and in vitro evaluation of antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the root oil of Ridolfia segetum (L.) Moris from Tunisia" by Jabrane A, Ben Jannet H, Mastouri M, Mighri Z, Casanova J.(3)

6. Anti houseflies Muscadomestica

7. Psychotropic Phenylisopropylamines
In the investigation of psychotropic phenylisopropylamines (amphetamines) possess ring-substitution patterns identical to those of natural essential oils found that beta-phenethylamines may participate in central nervous system metabolism through ring closure with the formation of an indole intermediate and several phenolic amines are known to act as neurotransmitters. Methylated and methoxylated analogues might function directly, according to "Psychotropic Phenylisopropylamines derived from Apiole and Dillapiole" by Alexander T. Shulgin Nature 215, 1494-95 (1967)( 5)

3. Aristolochic acid III
4. Aristolochic acid III a
5. Aristolochic acid VII a
6. Aristolactam I
7. Aristolactam II
8. Aristolactam III a
9. Etc.

Health Benefits
1. Aristoloside
Aristoloside, an extract of Guan-mu-tong (Gmt; Caulis aristolochiae manshuriensis) showing a marked anticancer potential. In the treatment of The treatment induced the inhibition of preneoplastic mammary gland growth and the stimulation of the excretion of urinary component. Ovarian follicles were dominant and the oestrous stage was elongated by the treatment. Aristoloside had little affect on normal mammary gland growth and serum levels of prolactin and free fatty acid. All findings were in agreement with those obtained from studies on chronic treatment with Gmt, and aristoloside is thus strongly suggested as being one of the major components of Gmt(2).

2. Lactation
Gmt improved pup growth rate and mammary DNA content. No pups were lost during the experiment. Similar results were obtained by 0.5% Xia-ru-yong-quan-tang (Xryqt), a Chinese herbal medicine, which contained 0.05% Gmt. Xryqt further prevented a decline in ovarian weight seen by 0.05% Gmt treatment and significantly increased mother weight(3).

3. Antipsychotics effects
In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, 1795 patients with schizophrenia who were randomly selected from 17 psychiatric hospitals in China were interviewed face-to-face using a structured questionnaire. Association analyses were conducted to examine correlates between Chinese medicine (CM) use and demographic, clinical variables, antipsychotic medication mode, and clinical outcomes. The prevalence of concomitant CM and antipsychotic treatment was 36.4% [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 34.2%-38.6%]. Patients using concomitant CM had a significantly greater chance of improved outcomes than non-CM use (61.1% vs. 34.3%, OR = 3.44, 95% CI 2.80-4.24). However, a small but significant number of patients treated concomitantly with CM had a greater risk of developing worse outcomes (7.2% vs. 4.4%, OR = 2.06, 95% CI 2.06-4.83)(4).

4. Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects
Treatments with 10 and 30 mg/kg perorally of these two sapogenins obtained the methanol (MeOH) extract from A. quinata stems and fractionated this extract into CHCl(3), butanol (BuOH), and H(2)O fractions. produced significant antinociceptive/ anti-inflammatory effects in the rat, suggesting that the sapogenins may act as resultant active compounds. Compounds 2 and 3 inhibited dye leakage into the peritoneal cavity induced by acetic acid, and the latter was more active than the former. The anti-inflammtory effects were further supported by the reduction of carrageenan-induced lipid peroxidation and hydroxy radical content in serum. These results suggest that the antinociceptive/anti-inflammatory properties of the stem of A. quinata can be attributed to the sapogenins oleanolic acid and hederagenin(5).

Phytochemicals for Treatment of Thyroid Cancer

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.

Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid is one of the largest endocrine glands found in the neck, below the Adam's Apple with the function of regulating the body use of energy, make of proteins by producing its hormones as a result of the stimulation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) produced by the anterior pituitary.

Thyroid cancer is defined as condition in which the cells in the thyroid gland have become cancerous.

Types of thyroid cancer
The most common types of thyroid cancer include
1. Papillary thyroid cancer
Papillary thyroid cancer, the most common type of thyroid cancer, makes up about 80 percent of all thyroid cancers. The cancer tends to develop in the women age group between 30-40 years of age and grow slowly. Papillary thyroid cancer can be cure if diagnosed early.
2. Follicular thyroid cancer
Follicular thyroid cancer, the second most common thyroid cancer, makes up about 15 percent of all case. It is a low grow cancer with peak onset ages 40 through 60. Follicular thyroid cancer can be treat successful, if diagnosed early.
3. Medullary thyroid cancer
Medullary thyroid cancer, third most common thyroid cance makes up about 3 percent of all cases, arise from thyroid hormone producing cells with abnormally high levels of calcitonin. Medullary thyroid cancer tends to grow slowly but it can spread to distant parts of the body, if not treated early.
4. Anaplastic thyroid cancer
Anaplastic thyroid cancer the rare case of thyroid cancer, makes up less than 2 percent of all cases. The cancer cells tend to grow and spread very quickly. Anaplastic thyroid cancer is deadly, with only 10% of alive rate, 3 years after it is diagnosed.

Types of food to prevent and treat thyroid cancer
1. Legumes, soy and peanut
Daidzein is a phytochemical in the Isoflavones, belonging to the group of Flavonoids (polyphenols), found abundantly in food of the family of legumes, soy, peanut, etc..In the study to explore whether or not human thyroid cancer cell growth can be curbed by a novel isoflavone derivative generated in our laboratory, the N-t-Boc-hexylenediamine derivative of 7-(O)-carboxymethyl daidzein (cD-tboc), showed that when nude mice carrying ARO thyroid xenografts were treated with cD-tboc, tumor volume decreased significantly, and no apparent toxicity was observed. These results suggest that cD-tboc may be a promising agent for therapy of thyroid carcinoma either alone or in combination with existing cytotoxic drugs(1).

2. Soybean
In the study to observe that an acidic methanolic extract of soybeans contains compounds that inhibit thyroid peroxidase-(TPO) catalyzed reactions essential tothyroid hormone synthesis, showed that In the presence of iodide ion, genistein and daidzein blocked TPO-catalyzed tyrosine iodination by acting as alternate substrates, yielding mono-, di-, and triiodoisoflavones. Genistein also inhibited thyroxine synthesis using iodinated casein or human goiter thyroglobulin as substrates for the coupling reaction(2).

3. Green tea
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major catechin in green tea, was shown to possess remarkable therapeutic potential against various types of human cancercells in in vitro and in vivo models. In the study to investigate the effect of EGCG on the proliferation and apoptosis of ARO cells--human ATC cells, showed that EGCG treatment inhibited the growth of ARO cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, EGCG suppressed phosphorylation of EGFR, ERK1/2, JNK, and p38. These changes were associated with increased p21 and reduced cyclin B1/CDK1 expression. In addition, EGCG treatment increased the accumulation of sub-G1 cell, activated caspase-3 and cleaved PARP(3).

Children Health: Autism - The Importance of Diet - Central nervous system

Autism is one of the most common forms of brain development disorder and one in 166 child is diagnosed with some forms of autism. Children who are diagnosed with autism tend to have weak immune system and auto immune problems. Autism is defined as medical condition in which a child has some of the following impairments
a) Speech
b) Social and communication skills
c) Limited interest
d) Repetitive behaviour

The Importance of Diet - Foods for Central nervous system

Although medication and physical therapies are important for autistic children, without carefully chosen intake of foods with vital nutrients, they will be lessened their effectiveness. In some cases, it may contribute to severity of the symptoms if wrong kinds of food are taken as we mentioned in previous article. It is the responsibility of the parent of autistic children to record daily food intake and carefully observe the reaction of the child during early stage of diagnosis. There are some foods which may increase the autoimmune response, thus weakening the immune system in fighting the forming of cell oxidation and bacteria and virus. Others may decrease the blood circulation to cells, thus interfering with central nervous system in transmitting and regulating information, etc. Here are some important diet for autistic children's parent to consider.

a) Organic Whole Soy foods
Besides containing high amount of calcium and other vital vitamins and minerals as well as phyto chemicals which are vital for immune system in guarding our body against infection and inflammation, its protein also helps to improve the brain function as a neurotransmitters, because most neurotransmitters are made from amino acids including tryptophan and tyrosine of the protein in food we consume, thus decreasing the severity of the autistic symptoms.

b) Spinach and strawberry
Spinach and strawberry contains high amount of antioxidants which helps to decrease the risk of free radical forming in the central nervous system thereby, increasing the brain cells' functions in regulating the hormone production of glands and improving the transportation of information.

c) Amino acid
Dietary protein is required to be broken down into the amino acids for our body to function, including neurotransmitters, hormones, DNA, enzymes. therefore intake of food with good sources of protein will help to decrease the symptoms of nervous irregular function for children with autism.

There are 2 kinds of dietary protein
a) Complete protein containing all eight essential amino acids includes fish and meat, fowl and eggs, cheese and yogurt.
b) Incomplete protein containing some of the 8 essential amino acids includes grains and legumes, beans and right, but you can combine the incomplete protein to make up a complete protein such as rice and beans.
Since a complete protein is necessary for improving the brain cells's function, not all complete protein risk foods are good for autistic children, some of them may causes allergic reaction as well as interfering the digestive enzyme in nutrients absorption, please consult with your doctor or dietitian before applying.

It is advice for parent with autistic child to keep a food diary and note of their child's behaviours and symptoms alongside all the foods intake. This can help to identify the foods that cause immune allergic reaction and replay them them with other foods containing at least the same nutrients. Once again, please consult with your dietitian or nutritional therapist before applying.

Overcome Infertility: Urinaryluteinizing hormone ( LH) testof Female Infertility In Conventional medicine Perspective

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.

Vasography Analysis of Male Infertility In Conventional medicine Perspective

The Urinary luteinizing hormone ( LH) test is used to check the levels of LH and identify the surge of LH just before ovulation so your doctor can determine when is the best time for a couple to have sex and the female partner to get pregnant.

Procedure
Urine is taken in the local clinic laboratory for examining the levels of LH hormone.
There are some home LH detection kits called ovulation kits which help to monitor the LH hormone. By watching the surge of LH hormone, a infertile couple can pinpoint the days of sexual intercourse that coincidence with the ovulation, thereby increasing the chance of pregnancy.

Diagnosis
Since the levels of LH is vary through out menstrual cycle, but is normally highest around the time of ovulation. Your sample will be examined for the levels of LH hormone so your doctor can pinpoint to you when will be the best time to have sex and get pregnant. It also uses to timing of the ovulation for maximizing the chance of fertility.
For a couple in IVF treatment, it helps the specialist to determine when the eggs are mature and ready to be removed from the ovaries for artificial insemination.
If the result of lab analysis come back with low levels of LH hormone, then other tests or treatment may be required.
