Gingerole

Gingerole, is also known as gingerol, a phytochemical of Flavonoids (polyphenols)found in fresh ginger. and in variety of other plants. The herb has been used to treat nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, motion sickness, rheumatoid arthritis, relieve migraine, etc.

Health benefits
1. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
In the investigation of the effectiveness of chemical constituents of Zingiber officinale Rosc. (Zingiberaceae)in treating oxidative stress found that compounds [6]-gingerol, [8]-gingerol, [10]-gingerol and [6]-shogaol of the herb scavenges of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picyrlhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, inhibitsof N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (f-MLP) induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), lipopolysaccharide induced nitrite and prostaglandin E(2) production in RAW 264.7 cells, according to the study of "Comparative antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of [6]-gingerol, [8]-gingerol, [10]-gingerol and [6]-shogaol" by Dugasani S, Pichika MR, Nadarajah VD, Balijepalli MK, Tandra S, Korlakunta JN(1)

2. Cancer metastasis
In the observation of gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, carnosol, capsaicin, 6-shogaol, 6-gingerol and their anti-invasion and anti-metastasis effects found that molecular mechanisms of phenolic acids, monophenol, polyphenol, and their derivatives, except flavonoids, on cancer invasion and metastasis, according to "Chemopreventive effects of dietary phytochemicals against cancer invasion and metastasis: Phenolic acids, monophenol, polyphenol, and their derivatives" by Weng CJ, Yen GC.(2)

3. Asthma
In the evaluation of [6]-shogaol, [6]-gingerol, [8]-gingerol, and [10]-gingerol of gingerol and it human bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMC) effects found that they suppress phthalate ester-mediated airway remodeling by Depleting both IL-8 and RANTES completely reversed the effect of DBP-BEAS-2B-CM and DBP-HBE-CM-mediated BSMC proliferation and migration, according to "Ginger suppresses phthalate ester-induced airway remodeling" by Kuo PL, Hsu YL, Huang MS, Tsai MJ, Ko YC.(3)

4. Nausea and Vomiting
In the research of [6]-gingerol, [8]-gingerol, [10]-gingerol, and [6]-shogaol. and it effects in Nausea and Vomiting found that the efficiency of ginger in reducing nausea and vomiting may be based on a weak inhibitory effect of gingerols and shogaols at cholinergic M (3) receptors and serotonergic 5-HT (3) receptors. Serotonergic 5-HT (4) receptors, which play a role in gastroduodenal motility, appear not to be involved in the action of these compounds, according to "Effects of ginger constituents on the gastrointestinal tract: role of cholinergic M3 and serotonergic 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors" by Pertz HH, Lehmann J, Roth-Ehrang R, Elz S.(4)

5. Dementia
In the study of Ginger effectiveness in treating dementia in South Asia with A 70% aqueous/methanolic extract of dried ginger (Zo.Cr) was used. Zo.Cr tested positive for the presence of terpenoids, flavonoids, secondary amines, phenols, alkaloids and saponins found that
specific inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) rather than acetylcholinesterase enzyme. Different pure compounds of ginger also showed spasmolytic activity in stomach fundus, with 6-gingerol being the most potent. 6-Gingerol also showed a specific anti-BuChE effect, according to "Muscarinic, Ca(++) antagonist and specific butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of dried ginger extract might explain its use in dementia" by Ghayur MN, Gilani AH, Ahmed T, Khalid A, Nawaz SA, Agbedahunsi JM, Choudhary MI, Houghton PJ.(6)

7. Ovarian cancer
In the observation of The ginger component [6]-gingerol anf its antioxidant and anticarcinogenic effects indicated that Ginger treatment of cultured ovarian cancer cells induced profound growth inhibition in all cell lines tested and found that in vitro, 6-shogaol is the most active of the individual ginger components tested. Ginger treatment resulted in inhibition of NF-kB activation as well as diminished secretion of VEGF and IL-8, according to the study of "Ginger inhibits cell growth and modulates angiogenic factors in ovarian cancer cells" by Rhode J, Fogoros S, Zick S, Wahl H, Griffith KA, Huang J, Liu JR.(7)

8. Lung cancer
In the investigation of 6-gingerol of ginger and its anti lung cancer effect found that 6-gingerol could significantly inhibit K562 cells proliferation and the efficacy was concentration and dose-dependent, according to the study of "[Comparative protein analysis of K562 cell apoptosis induced by 6-gingerol].[Article in Chinese]" by Zeng HL, Han XA, Gu C, Huang XS, Gu JQ, Zhong Q, Ming WJ, Cai XN.(8)

9. Liver cancer
In the evaluation of 6-shogaol and 6-gingerol of ginger and it effects in liver cancer cell line found that 6-shogaol and 6-gingerol might both exert anti-invasive activity against hepatoma cells through regulation of (matrix metalloproteinase)MMP-9 and (tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase protein)TIMP-1 and that 6-shogaol could further regulate urokinase-type plasminogen activity, according to the study of "Anti-invasion effects of 6-shogaol and 6-gingerol, two active components in ginger, on human hepatocarcinoma cells" by

Weng CJ, Wu CF, Huang HW, Ho CT, Yen GC.(9)

10. Skin cancer
In the unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying the chemopreventive potential of [6]-gingerol of ginger rhizomeand its anti skin cancer effect found that [6]-gingerol treatment resulted in release of Cytochrome c, Caspases activation, increase in apoptotic protease-activating factor-1 (Apaf-1) as mechanism of apoptosis induction and concluded [6]-gingerol possesses apoptotic potential in mouse skin tumors as mechanism of chemoprevention, according to the study of "Induction of apoptosis by [6]-gingerol associated with the modulation of p53 and involvement of mitochondrial signaling pathway in B[a]P-induced mouse skin tumorigenesis" by Nigam N, George J, Srivastava S, Roy P, Bhui K, Singh M, Shukla Y.(10)

11. Colon cancer
In evaluation of [6]-Gingerol, a natural component of ginger and its anti colon cancer effect found that [6]-gingerol effectively suppressed tumor growth in vivo in nude mice, an effect that was mediated by inhibition of LTA(4)H activity. Collectively, these findings indicate a crucial role of LTA(4)H in cancer and also support the anticancer efficacy of [6]-gingerol targeting of LTA(4)H for the prevention of colorectal cancer, according to "[6]-Gingerol suppresses colon cancer growth by targeting leukotriene A4 hydrolase" by Jeong CH, Bode AM, Pugliese A, Cho YY, Kim HG, Shim JH, Jeon YJ, Li H, Jiang H, Dong Z.(11)

12. Rheumatoid arthritis
In the investigation of the crude dichloromethane extract, which also contained essential oils and more polar compounds, was more efficacious (when normalized to gingerol content and it effects on rheumatoid arthritis found that there are very significant joint-protective effect of these ginger samples and suggest that nongingerol components are bioactive and can enhance the antiarthritic effects of the more widely studied gingerols, according to the study of 'Comparative effects of two gingerol-containing Zingiber officinale extracts on experimental rheumatoid arthritis" by Funk JL, Frye JB, Oyarzo JN, Timmermann BN.(12)

13. Gastric cancer
In the observation of 6-gingerol, a phenolic alkanone isolated from ginger and it effects o gastric cancer cells found that in gastric cancer cells, 6-gingerolenhances TRAIL-induced viability reduction by inhibiting TRAIL-induced NF-kappaB activation while 6-shogaol alone reduces viability by damaging microtubules, according to "Ginger ingredients reduce viability of gastric cancer cells via distinct mechanisms" by Ishiguro K, Ando T, Maeda O, Ohmiya N, Niwa Y, Kadomatsu K, Goto H.(13)

14. Pancreatic cancer
In the analyzing [6]-Gingerol, a major phenolic compound derived from ginger and its anti pancreatic cancer cells effect found that [6]-gingerol can circumvent the resistance of mutant p53- expressing cells towards chemotherapy by inducing apoptotic cell death while it exerts cytostatic effect on wild type p53- expressing cells by inducing temporal growth arrest, according to "[6]-Gingerol induces cell cycle arrest and cell death of mutant p53-expressing pancreatic cancer cells" by Park YJ, Wen J, Bang S, Park SW, Song SY.(14)

15. Prostatic inflammation
In the determination of anti-inflammatory activities of the phytochemicals curcumin, resveratrol and [6]-gingerol and theirs anti prostate inflammatory effect found that direct anti-inflammatory activity of MKP5 in prostate cells and suggest that up-regulation of (mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-5) MKP5 by phytochemicals may contribute to their chemopreventive actions by decreasing prostatic inflammation, according to "Chemopreventive anti-inflammatory activities of curcumin and other phytochemicals mediated by MAP kinase phosphatase-5 in prostate cells" by Nonn L, Duong D, Peehl DM.(15)

Phytochemicals for Treatment of Allergy

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.

Treatment of Allergy

Allergy is the over reaction of immune system to harmless substances after entering our body affecting 1 in every 3 people and is defined as the type I reactions or Immediate Hypersensitivity as a result of
over production of Immunoglobulin E (IgE), a class of allergic antibody by the immune system against harmless substance that lead to mediated release of histamine and other mediators from mast cells and basophils, resulting in allergic reaction, including mucus secretion, sneezing, itching, etc.

Types of foods tp prevent and treat Allergy
1. Yogurt
In the study to investigate the clinical effects of L-55-contained yogurt on symptoms and IgE production in the patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis, showed that the mean value of symptom score and symptom medication score were lower in L-55 yogurt group compared with placebo yogurt group during 5th week to 9th week from the first week of Japanese cedar pollination. Especially, in medicated subjects, total symptom score and throat symptom score were significantly lower in L-55 yogurt group compared with placebo yogurt group at 5th and 4th week from the first week of Japanese cedar pollination, respectively. Moreover, in medicated subjects, change ratio of serum total IgE was significantly lower in L-55 yogurt group compared with placebo yogurt group at 1st week from the first week of Japanese cedar pollination. Conclusion: Intake of L-55 during Japanese cedar pollinating season may be effective in alleviating the allergic symptoms related to Japanese cedar pollinosis. From these finding, it was suggested that L-55 is a possible candidate as a complementary medicine for Japanese cedar pollinosis(1). Other suggested that intestinal bacteria such as the Bacteroides fragilis group significantly fluctuated during the pollen season in JCPsis individuals and intake of BB536 yogurt tended to suppress these fluctuations(1a).

2. Tomato
In the study to identify the protein profile of the extract, to analyze the allergenic profile of individuals, and to determine cross-reactivity with other members of the Solanaceae family (tomato) after allergic effect with consumption of Goji, indicated that a positive skin prick test and specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E to Goji berry was detected in both cases. Serum samples recognized a 9-kDa band, probably related to lipid transfer proteins (LTPs). Cross-reactivity with tomato was analyzed by inhibition studies, which showed that the 9-kDa band was totally inhibited by thetomato extract(2).

3. Honey
According to the article of Seasonal Allergies? A Spoonful of Honey, posted in New York time on April 11-2010, Thomas Leo Ogren makes several good points about reducing the misery of people with seasonal allergies. Besides a variety of trees, there is a simpler way for allergy sufferers to find relief: local honey. This remedy (predating Claritin and its ilk) has long been recognized around the world(3)

4. Traditional Mediterranean diet
In the study to investigate a cross-sectional survey was performed in 690 children aged 7-18 years in rural Crete. Parents completed a questionnaire on their child's respiratory and allergic symptoms and a 58-item food frequency questionnaire. Adherence to a Mediterranean diet was measured using a scale with 12 dietary items. Children underwent skin prick tests with 10 common aeroallergens, showed that a beneficial effect of commonly consumed fruits, vegetables and nuts, and of a high adherence to a traditional Mediterranean diet during childhood on symptoms of asthma and rhinitis. Diet may explain the relative lack of allergic symptoms in this population(4).

Dietary Minerals Cobalt: Cobalamin) deficiency and complications

Dietary Minerals

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

Cobalt

Cobalt is one of many essential mineral needed by our body in very small amounts to enhance productions of red blood cell and the formation of myelin nerve coverings It also is vital as a necessary cofactor for making the thyroid hormone thyroxine and stored in the red blood cells, the plasma, liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas, etc.

Cobalamin) deficiency and complications

Vitamin B12 (or cobalamin) deficiency is well known in geriatric patients, but not in those with spinal cord injury (SCI). According to the study by the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System, Cobalamin deficiet SCI patients presented with depression andfatigue, 2 had worsening pain, 2 had worsening upper limb weakness, and 2 had memory decline. Of the 12 patients with subnormal serum vitamin B12 levels, 6 were asymptomatic. Classic laboratory findings of low serum vitamin B12, macrocytic red blood cell indices, and megaloblastic anemia were not always present. Anemia was identified in 7 of the 16 patients and macrocytic red blood cells were found in 3 of the 16 patients. Only 1 of the 16 SCI patients had a clear pathophysiologic mechanism to explain the vitamin B12 deficiency (ie, partial gastrectomy); none of the patients were vegetarian. Twelve of the SCI patients appeared to experience clinical benefits from cyanocobalamin replacement (some patients experienced more than 1 benefit), including reversal of anemia (5 patients), improved gait (4 patients), improved mood (3 patients), improved memory (2 patients), reduced pain (2 patients), strength gain (1 patient), and reduced numbness (1 patient)(5).

Children's Health: Autism - Avoid Trans fat

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

Avoid Trans fat

Since most children with autism have poor digestive system and weakened immune system, intake of artificial ingredients will cause toxin accumulated in the body, leading to abnormality of liver function in toxins elimination, resulting in increasing the severity of the symptoms.

Trans fat
As we mentioned in many previous article, trans fat is the hydrogenated oil found in many commercial mayonnaise, margarine, and peanut butter etc. and can cause cholesterol building up in the arteries, leading to less blood circulation to the central nervous system, thus increasing the severity of the symptoms of autism and heart diseases and stroke. Some studies also found that trans fat causes brain, adrenal gland and thyroid tumors and cancers in some animal studies.

Overcome Infertility: Kidney Deficiency In Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective (TCM)

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.

Kidney Deficiency In Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective (TCM)

Fertility is a natural process to insure the survival of human species. Through natural selection, we produce many offspring when the reproductive system works at it's peak in the suitable environment with plenty foods around. On the other hand, the reductive system may completely shut down or work at it;s minimum state and we produce less offspring, when the environment is hostile including less foods around, war, epidemic, etc. But regardless any situation. most women are capable to conceive sometimes before menopause.

A. In Men
Kidney Yang Deficiency
I. Definition
Kidney Yang deficiency
Men are considered kidney yang deficiency if they have symptom of low sexual desire, weak ejaculation, impotence, seminal emission, low sperm count, slow sperm mobility.

II. Causes
A. Causes of kidney yang deficiency
1 Unhealthy diet
As we known, we live in the society, where everything we drink are mostly cold including milk. It has a danger effect in the male body as it depletes of the yang qi which is needed to counter the the cold effects of abundant yin, leading to kidney yang deficiency. If one day, our yang qi production from the kidney jing no longer working well, it will cause male symptoms of infertility

2. External factors
a) Working in the cold environment such as fish, poultry and meat processing plants may deplete the kidney yang as our body require to produce yang qi constantly to counter the external cold.
b) People stay in the cold place for prolong period of time may also have the same effect as people working in cold environment.

3. Frequent sexual activity
According to traditional medical medicine, sexual intercourse helps to improve blood circulation and production of certain hormones which are necessary for our health. It also helps to balance the kidney yin qi but frequent sexual activity depletes the kidney jing which is vital for hormone and sperm production, leading to low sperm count or semen with no sperm as well as kidney diseases.

III. How kidney deficiency effects male fertility
1. Abnormal sperm production
We need harmony in our body as well as balance of the yang and qi in the kidney. Deficiency of kidney yang causes inability of the kidney jing in maintaining the normal sperm production, leading to low sperm count, slow sperm mobility or semen with no sperm.

2. Sexual dysfunction
According to traditional Chinese medicine, kidney is vital to maintain the healthy function of the reproductive organs including the penis. Depletion of kidney yang qi interferes with the folowing:
a) Sexual libido
Since we know, kidney is important in regulating the production of growth hormone as we mentioned in previous article. Deficiency of kidney yang causes low levels of testosterone in the body leading to sexual libido.

b) Impotence
Depletion of kidney yang also slow down the blood circulation in our body including the blood flow to penis, leading to sexual impotence.

c) Ejaculation
Kidney yang is vital in conserving energy for our body needs including the reproductive organs. Loss of kidney yang qi for a prolong period of time leading to low energy including energy needed for healthy ejaculation.

IV. Symptoms
As we mentioned in the above definition.

Kidney ying deficiency
I. Definition
According to TCM kidney if vital to maintain a healthy reproduction system in men and women alike. Infertility caused by kidney yin deficiency including symptoms seminal emission, slow sperm mobility, low sperm count.

II. Causes of kidney yin deficiency
1.Unhealthy diet
As oppose to yang deficiency, It is caused by men who love to hot and spicy food leading to heat accumulation in the body causing yin deficiency.

2. External factor
Working in the hot environment causes the depletion of fluids in the body including the kidney leading abundant yang qi production.

3. Low sexual activity
Frequent sexual activity increases the risk of yang deficiency, low sexual activity causes energy overly accumulation in the reproductive organ, leading to yin deficiency.

III. Effects of kidney yin deficiency
1. Abnormal sperm production
As we mentioned in the previous article, increasing yang qi or temperature in the body interferes with the production and quality of sperm causing slow sperm mobility, low sperm count.

2. Sexual dysfunction
a) Seminal emission
Seminal emission is a pattern in which the semen of a man emits frequently without making sexual activities. Since older sperm are replaced by new sperm production every day. Low sexual activity ( no ejaculation for a prolong period of time) causes abundant sperm in the reproductive organ, leading to seminal emission with low quality sperm being ejaculated.

IV. Symptoms
As we mentioned in the article definition

B. In women Kidney Yin Deficiency

I. Definition
Kidney yin also known primordial yin or true yin , is defined as the foundation of the yin fluid of the body, therefore it helps to moisten, nourish the organs and tissues and maintain the body fluid balance with fire of kidney yang.

II. How deficiency of kidney yin effect fertility
1. Lack of energy
Deficiency of kidney yin causes inability of kidney in stabilization of energy, leading to abnormal flow of energy, disrupting the blood flow to the body organs including the test in producing sperm and ovaries in egg production resulting in distorting the normal menstrual cycle in women and lessening the chance of fertility.

2. Blood Flow
Deficiency of kidney yin also increases the risk of irregular blood flow as the heart must work harder to provide more energy to our body needs, leading to abnormal function of capillaries and interrupting the normal function of small veins in the nervous system including dizziness, hearing problems and ringing in the ear. It also causes abnormal blood flow to the reproductive organs resulting in distorting the normal menstrual cycle in women and sperm production in men.

3. Digestive system
It also causes abnormal digestive system in absorbing vital vitamins and mineral as resulting of lack of fluid which is necessary for digestive system in stomach acid secretion, leading to constipation and abnormal pain.

4. Burning sensation
People with kidney yin deficiency feel burning sensation not only in the body including the chest, but also see bright yellow color in their urine, leading to oxidative and kidney damage. If the problem is not treated, it may disrupt the production of sperm friendly mucus in women and sperm quality men.

5. High temperature
It also increases the body temperature that interferes with egg, cervical mucus production in women and sperm abnormalities in men.

III. Causes
1. Unhealthy diet
People who eat a lot of high energy food and spicy food are an ideal candidate to have kidney yin deficiency, because those foods increase the yang qi in the body and deplete the body's fluid.

2. Sexual tramitted diseases and frequent sexual activity
Sexual tramitted diseases increase the risk of infection and inflammation that causes the increasing of white blood cells in the body, leading to immunity malfunction of infertility. Frequent sexual activity drain the kidney energy in maintaining a good reproductive system leading to infertility.

3. Medication
Drug abuse and some medication may damage kidney thus decreasing the function of kidney as an reproductive organ for fertility.

4. Stress
People who work long hours and stress environment work place may increase the risk of draining our energy flow and qi staganation leading to abnormal kidney function.

5. Aging
Aging also causes kidney yin deficiency, as our kidney no longer function like we are young.

IV. Symptoms
1. Dizziness,
2. Weak pulse
3. Hearing problems,
4. Dry mouth and throat,
5. Hot sensation in the palms, soles and chest,
6. Sweating, constipation, and seminal emission.
7. The tongue is red and covered with a light coating of fur

2. Internal Cold
Internal cold may be caused the immune allergic reaction in fighting the foreign virus and bacteria leading to cold sensational feeling in some people.

3. External cold
Remaining in the cold place or swimming in the cold water for a prolong period of time may cause yang qi depletion leading to abnormal function of kidney.

4. Kinney damage
Kidney damage caused by what ever reason may distort the balance of yin and yang qi in the kidney, sometimes it may lead to kidney yang deficiency.

5. Unhealthy life style
Unhealthy life style such as sleep late at night, irregular sleeping habit and frequent sexual intercourse may increase the risk of kidney yang deficiency.

6. Previous miscarriage and abortion
According to traditional Chinese medicine miscarriage and abortion not only damage the reproductive organ but also deplete the kidney yang qi caused by over whelming blood loss.

General Health: Depression - The Diet

Depression

Depression is a normal response as part of our daily lives such as the loss of s job, the death of a love one, and illness. Over 30 million Americans suffer from depression and the amount is increasing in an alarming rate. Depression may be a mental health disorder that can affect the way you eat, sleep, and the way you feel about yourself. The mild case of depression can be defeated by a variety of self-care techniques. Others require the treatment of medication, such as antidepressant medications and psychotherapy that help to reduce and sometimes eliminate the symptoms of depression.

The Diet

1. Fish
Our western diet contain high amounts of omega 6 and not enough omega 3 fatty acid. The imbalance of these 2 types of omega fatty acids may lead to memory loss, mood swing and depression. Cold water fish contain high amounts of omega 3 fatty acid that not only help to restore the hormone imbalance, but also decrease the arteries clotting up by bad cholesterol and triglycerides resulting in more oxygen being transported to the brain.

2. Spinach
Spinach contains high amounts of iron that not only help to boost the production of red blood cells and increase the blood circulation but also help in preventing and treating memory loss, tiredness and trouble concentrating as well as depression.

3. Dark green leaf juiceWeakened immune system may cause concentration, memory problem, trigger anxiety and acerbate the symptoms of depression. Dark green leaf juice contains high amounts of vitamin C, that help to strengthen our immune system and prevent the forming of free radicals and inflammation.

4. Peanut
Peanut contains high amounts of folate. Study shows that people with the symptoms of depression have low levels of folate, one of the members of B vitamins.

5. Cereal
