          Quan Xie (Buthus martensi)



Quan Xie is also known as scorpion. The neutral, acrid, sweet and toxic herb has been used in TCM to treat epilepsy, stroke, paralysis, migraine, pain in arthritis, tetanus, tuberculosis in lymph nodes, urticaria, , etc., as it calms Wind, convulsions, relieve pain, expels toxins, disperses nodules, promotes circulation in the collaterals, etc., by enhancing the liver channels.

Ingredients
1. Katsutoxin
2. Polypeptides
3. Tityustoxin
4. Hyaluronidase
5. Lecithin
6. Katsu acid
7. Trimethylamin
8. Betaine
9. Etc.


Health Benefits
1. Cardiovascular effects
Buthus martensii (Karsch) (BMK) scorpion envenomation is a common medical problem in China and BMK scorpion has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. In the study to investigate i.v. BMK venom injection significantly increased the blood pressure in conscious rats in a concentration-dependent manner (ED50 = 59 +/- 12 micrograms/kg), showed that BMK venom significantly increased the metabolism of InsP3 in dispersed cardiac myocytes, indicating a direct effect on cardiac myocytes. These results demonstrate the significant cardiovascular effects of BMK venom, which may be mediated by an alteration in InsP3 in cardiac myocytes but not by [Ca2+]i in vascular smooth muscle cells(1).

2. Antinociceptive activity
In the site-directed mutagenesis and mouse acetic acid writhing test used to investigate the role of Ser54 in the antinociceptive activity of BmK9 neurotoxin from the Buthus martensii Karsch scorpion, detailed mutagenesis analysis revealed that substitution of Ser54 by various polar amino acids produced no significant change in the antinociceptive activity, while all substitutions of nonpolar amino acid for Ser54 led to a significant loss of antinociceptive activity. Following the conformational analysis, it was suggested that Ser54 in BmK9 plays a functional role in the antinociceptive activity, the residue exerts its effect by means of a side-chain hydrogen bond(2).

3. Analgesic activity
In the study of an effective Escherichia coli expression system used to study the role of residues in the antitumor-analgesic peptide from Chinese scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch (BmKAGAP) and to evaluate the extent to which residues of the toxin core contribute to its analgesic activity, nine mutants of BmKAGAP obtained by PCR, showed that withthe ongoing efforts for establishing the structure and analgesic activity relationship of BmKAGAP, we have succeeded in pinpointing which residues are important for the analgesic activity(3).

4. Etc.

Side Effects
1. The herb can cause Allergic effects, including rash, urticaria with fever
2. Overdose can be toxic
3. Do not use the herb in newborn, children or if you are pregnant or breast feeding without first consulting with the related field specialist.

In conventional medicine, menopause is defined as a condition in which a woman is in the transition stage of permanent cessation of the ovaries functions in egg production because of less production of estrogen and progesterone. In TCM, menopause is defined as a condition of a natural process of slows down the aging by retaining the body’s kidney energy, to avoid the depletion of the women kidney essence that can lead to death. Statistically, only 10% of Asian women experience noticeable menopausal symptoms, compared with 75% of the women in the United States.

                                 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.

                           Zinc-nickel-cobalt solution (ZnNiCo) and inflammation in adipose tissue 

In the study to test the effect of a zinc-nickel-cobalt solution (ZnNiCo) on adipocyte function and to identify potential health effects of this solution in the context of obesity and associated disorders, indicated that the trace elements present in ZnNiCo are able to modulate the expression level of several inflammation related transcripts in adipocytes. These studies suggest that ZnNiCo could play a role in the prevention of inflammation in adipose tissue in obesity(8).

                                        Autism 

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 Refine products

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.

Refine products
Refined products with little fiber release sugar in the blood stream quickly, causing the responses of pancreas to produce high level of insulin to neutralize it in a short period of time, that interferes with the normal function of central nervous system in controlling the concentration, focus and behaviour for children with autism.

                               Duodenal ulcers

Duodenal ulcers, a type of peptic ulcer is defined as a condition of a localized tissue erosion in the lining the duodenum as a result of bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) in most cases. According to the study by Department of Research, University Hospital, Basel, fasting gastrin and pepsinogen-I and -II concentrations were significantly higher in H pylori positive compared with H pylori negative subjects. Neither age nor sex affected basal gastrin and pepsinogen concentrations in H pylori negative subjects. Fasting gastrin, pepsinogen-I and -II concentrations in serum samples were similar in H pylori positive persons with no symptoms and those with duodenal ulcers suggesting that similar mechanisms are involved in increasing plasma concentrations of these variables in both populations. Hypergastrinaemia and hyperpepsinogenaemia are therefore probably secondary to active H pylori infection(1).

                                The Complications

1. Peptic ulcer bleeding
Peptic ulcer bleeding is a frequent and dramatic event with both a high mortality rate and a substantial cost for healthcare systems worldwide. It has been found that age is an independent predisposing factor for gastrointestinal bleeding, with the risk increasing significantly in individuals aged>65 years and increasing further in those aged>75 years. Indeed, bleeding incidence and mortality are distinctly higher in elderly patients, especially in those with co-morbidities(12).

2. Perforative hole
In the study of Diagnosis and the results of surgical treatment of perforated gastroduodenal ulcers, showed that the excellent and good long-term results after closure of a perforative hole were noted in 11.7% of the patients, after vagotomy–in 91.6% after gastric resection–in 88%(13). Other indicated that
Complications of gastric and duodenal ulcers were hematemesis and hematochezia (n = 20, 33.3%), and perforation (n = 2, 3.3%)(14).

3. Ulcer scars
Scar tissue produced by peptic ulcers can block passage of food through the digestive tract. There is a study of 181 patients with a gastroduodenal ulcer or ulcer scar (102 with a gastric lesion, 60 with a duodenal lesion, and 19 with both sites involved), specimens were cultured for H. pylori and TTV infection was sought in serum by a polymerase chain reaction(15).
