Peyronie's disease is a rare condition caused by plaque, that forms inside the penis, leading to a bent erect penis, depending on where the plaque is located.
Patients with Peyronie's disease has been found to affect sexual desire due to a physical condition associated with painful sexual intercourse and erectile dysfunction.
Researchers do not know the exact causes of Peyronie's disease. However, according to the epidemiological studies, researchers suggested that injury that causes bleeding inside the penis may induce the built-up of scars, particularly in men with the genetic preposition of certain genes.
Most cases of pain in Peyronie’s disease are mild and often do not require treatment, however, over counter medicine may be needed occasionally.
Believe or not, most mild cases of men with Peyronie's disease do not require treatment as the condition has been found to go away within a year. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the scar tissues in the penis that cause the condition.
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, and psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
Researchers on finding a natural compound for the treatment of Peyronie's disease investigated various antioxidants, including bilberry in PD treatment with significantly increase the likelihood of therapeutic success.
By comparing the effects of silymarin, ginkgo biloba, vitamin E, bilberry, topical diclofenac sodium, and pentoxifylline (PTX) in patients with PD, researchers found that by administration of a single oral antioxidant; two oral antioxidants; three oral antioxidants; five oral antioxidants + local diclofenac; and five oral antioxidants + local diclofenac + PTX achieve better results when combining more than one agent.
According to the tested assays, the combination of more than a single compound reduced the symptoms in patients with PD, including the improvement and disappearance of penile pain; percentage of reduction in the volume of penile plaque; reduction in penile curvature; recovery of erectile function in patients with erectile dysfunction; increase in the International Index of Erectile Function score; and reduction of psychosexual impact.
Particularly, treatment of combined therapy including oral treatment with more than one antioxidant is greater when topical use of diclofenac gel and perilesional injection of PTX, compared to those of single conventional medicine.
In other words, combined natural or dietary antioxidants such as bilberry into the diet of patients with PD are more effective in inhibiting the symptoms compared to the use alone of any single ingredient therapy.
The final outcome of 6 months of treatment showed that combined antioxidant therapy is effective in treating PD.
Dr. Paulis G, the lead scientist, after taking other factors into account wrote in the final report, " Although several articles have already been published reporting the effectiveness of combined treatment in PD, this is the first study clearly proving how, as the number of substances used in treatment rises, a proportionally greater therapeutic effect is achieved."
Taken altogether, bilberry combined with other antioxidants or conventional medicines may be considered function remedies for the treatment of Peyronie's disease (PD), pending to the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Turmeric, A Natural And Potential Treatment of Chagas Heart Disease
Chagas disease (CD) is a medical condition caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi.
According to the statistics, approximately 6 million people worldwide are living Chagas disease. The majority of patients reside in Mexico, Central America, and South America,
Chagas heart disease can be classified into
* Acute Chagas heart disease is characterized by the inflammation of the heart, gastrointestinal tract (mainly esophagus and colon), meninges, and central and peripheral nervous tissues. Untreated symptomatic patients in this phase may face a roughly 1% chance of death in the acute period, usually the result of severe myocarditis or meningoencephalitis
* The indeterminate form of Chagas heart disease is characterized by small foci of mild chronic myocarditis, with interstitial edema, early fibrosis, and infiltration by lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells. Most patients with the indeterminate form will progress to the chronic form of Chagas heart disease such as dilated cardiomyopathy, at a rate of 1.85% to 7% annually.
* The chronic form of Chagas heart disease is characterized by cardiomegaly and increased cardiac mass, thinning of the ventricular walls, and aneurysmal lesions in various regions of the LV and right ventricle (RV).
Dr. Edimar Alcides Bocchi, the lead scientist in the treatment of Chagas heart disease wrote, "Pharmacological treatment and antiarrhythmic therapy for ChHD is mostly based on results for other etiologies. Heart transplantation is an established, valuable therapeutic option in refractory ChHD".
And, "Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators are indicated for the prevention of secondary sudden cardiac death. Specific etiological treatments should be revisited and reserved for select patients. Understanding and management of ChHD need improvement, including the development of randomized trials".
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of Chagas heart disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi., researchers examined the anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties of curcumin (Cur).
The study included oral therapy with Cur on T. cruzi-mediated cardio-vasculopathy in acutely infected mice and in vitro, the response of parasite-infected human microvascular endothelial cells treated with this phytochemical.
According to the tested assays, oral Cur therapy showed a reduced inflammatory cell infiltration of myocardial arteries without lowering parasite levels in the tested infected mice.
Furthermore, mice treated with Cur showed significantly decreased vessel inflammation scores (p < 0.001), vascular permeabilities compared to mice treated with the phosphate-buffered saline-receiving group.
Moreover, levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ET-1 secretion involved in vascular constriction was also inhibited by the treatment of Cur.
Additionally, proteins and signaling pathways that promote the generation of inflammatory agents also inhibited by the injection of Cur.
In other words, curcumin (Cur) exerted the anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties against parasite-induced the onset of Chagas heart disease.
Based on the findings researchers wrote, "These findings identify new perspectives for exploring the potential of Cur-based interventions to ameliorate Chagas heart disease".
Taken altogether, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of Chagas heart disease, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Regular Walking Reduces risk of Osteoporosis
Regular physical activity has long been found to associate to the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but the regular walking contribution of health benefits of the younger elderly have not been explored.
Osteoporosis is defined as a condition of thinning of bone and bone tissues as a result of the loss of bone density over a long period of time. It is a widespread degenerative disease of skeletal joints and often associated with senescence invertebrates due to excessive or abnormal mechanical loading of weight-bearing joints, arising from heavy long-term use or specific injuries(1).
Regular walking has shown to reduce the prevalence of osteoporosis in older adult by keeping older people mobile and independent(2). According to the joint study led by Manchester Metropolitan University, osteoporosis and muscular weakness are decreased by regularly completing activities ranging from low-intensity walking(2).
The American College of Sports Medicine in the study of physical activity for older adults, suggested "(physical activity)improved bone health and, thus, reduction in risk for osteoporosis; improved postural stability, thereby reducing the risk of falling and associated injuries and fractures" and "The benefits associated with regular exercise and physical activity contribute to a more healthy, independent lifestyle, greatly improving the functional capacity and quality of life in this population"(3).
Dr. Buchner DM at the University of Washington School of Medicine said, "Epidemiologic evidence strongly supports a role of regular physical activity in successful aging by preserving muscle performance, promoting mobility, and reducing fall risk"(4).
In fact, exercisers with distance walked in six minutes, not only improved (p < .05) scores on an observational gait scale, Isokinetic strength in knee flexion(5), but also promoted suppression of bone turnover and reduced risk of osteoporosis, according to the study of 50 postmenopausal women, aged 49-75 years, with osteopenia/osteoporosis recruited: 32 women enter the exercise program (the exercise group) and 18 served as controls (the control group)(6).
Unfortunately, University Department of Primary Care and Population Sciences after intensive studying of brisk walking in the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis. insisted that brisk walking in the older adult, although reduces risk bone turn over, it is associated to risk of falling, according to the result of an investigation of 165 women drawn from the local accident and emergency departments with a history of fracture of an upper limb in the previous 2 years(7).

Phytochemical Lycopene Kills Head and Neck Cancer Cells, According to Study
Cancer is a group of disease caused by cell growth irregularly in the affected tissue caused by DNA alternation.
Head and neck cancer is a group of cancers originated from the mouth, nose, throat, larynx, sinuses, or salivary glands.
According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, approximately 4,300 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer of the head and neck every year. Head and neck cancer also cause the death of nearly 1,610 of Canadian.
The overall survival rate of 5 years after diagnosis is 62% tobacco use, alcohol consumption and viral infection including human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (for oropharyngeal cancer), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection (for nasopharyngeal cancer).
Some researchers suggested that diet pattern may have a strong impact on the onset of the disease.
Dr. Shu-Chun Chuang, the lead scientist wrote, "A dietary pattern score combining high fruit and vegetable intake and low red meat intake, was created. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the dietary items on the risk of HNC were estimated with a two-stage random effects logistic regression model".
And, "Higher dietary pattern scores, reflecting high fruit/vegetable and low red meat intake, were associated with reduced HNC risk (per score increment OR=0.90, 95% CI=0.84–0.97)".
In other words, if you are Western diet follower, you risk of head and neck cancer increased substantially compared to those who follow a traditional diet.
Most common symptoms of head and neck cancer are totally depending on the location of cancer including a lump or sore that does not heal, a sore throat that does not go away, trouble swallowing, or a change in the voice.
Lycopene is a phytochemical in the class of carotenoid, a natural pigment with no vitamin A activity found abundantly in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, and papayas,
Tomatoes provide about 80% of the lycopene in the world diet. In plants, lycopene protects the host against excessive photodamage and perform various functions in photosynthesis.
In the urgency to find a potential compound for the treatment of head and neck cancer, researchers examined the lycopene overload and cytotoxic effects on HNSCC cells.
According to the cell analysis, lycopene at a dose of >10 µM for >24 h inhibited the growth of FaDu and Cal27 cells in a time‑ and dose‑dependent manner.
Furthermore, injection of lycopene not only provided the clearest increase in growth inhibition by cell apoptosis but also limited the cancer cell invasive activity at a dose of 25 µM.
More precisely, lycopene killed cancer cell by exhibiting the protein associated with cell death programming and apoptosis.
Dr. Ye M, the lead scientist after taking other factors into account wrote, " lycopene induced the upregulation of the pro‑apoptotic protein, B‑cell lymphoma‑associated X protein".
Taken altogether, lycopene may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of head and neck cancer, pending on the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of lycopene in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Regular Walking, The Easy Way for age 50 plus to Diseases Free of Age
Regular physical activity has long been found to associate to the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but regular walking in the younger elderly with contribution to longevity, diseases free and successful aging have not been studied.
According to the Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine, in the assessment of 1239 community-dwelling men aged 64/65 years, moderated walking showed to induce longevity and happy aging(1) with or without major critical diseases such as heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, or cancer.
In fact, in the 1990 study of 20,004 men and 21,159 women in Miyagi Prefecture in rural northern Japan (40-64 year of age) regular walking reduces the risk for all-cause mortality, particular among nonsmoking men and women(2).
Dr. Fortes C and colleagues at the joint study led by London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine said, " elderly people walking at open air for four times weekly had 40% decreased the risk of mortality" and " supports the encouragement of physical activity in advanced age for increasing longevity"(3). And high levels of walking activity are associated with better survival insisted by the Catholic University of Sacred Heart(4).
There is always a concern of elderly and caregivers regarded to the degeneration of cartilage in the advanced age in contribution to arthritic-inflammatory diseases(5). As the degeneration of cartilage due to aging may make cartilage more brittle, less elastic and less wearable. leading to the disease of bone and injuring the bone easily(6).
Over weight and obesity are found to associate the risk factors and risks of rapid progression of the disease(7)(8). In the discussion of obesity versus osteoarthritis, Dr. Sartori-Cintra AR and the research team at Universidade Estadual de Campinas, indicated that obesity is associated to wide range of diseases, such as osteometabolic diseases, including osteoporosis and osteoarthritis and suggested that physical activity combined with changes in diet composition can reverse the inflammatory and leptin resistance, reducing progression or preventing the onset of osteoarthritis(9).
Glucosamine, a compound of the simple sugar glucose and the amino acid glutamine, is a precursor for glycosaminoglycans(10), a major component of joint cartilage(11). Intake of glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, collagen hydrolysate, or nutrients, such as antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids showed to prevent cartilage degeneration and treat arthritis, according to study(11).
Without the concern of further damage to the cartilage, regular walking may lead you to a golden retirement with Diseases Free, passing Age of 100+.
For convenience, you may want to buy joint cartilage supplements from your local drug store to prevent cartilage degeneration

Herbal Aloe Vera, the Anti Skin Aging Functional Remedy with NO Side Effects, According to Studies
Scientists may have found a natural and potent herbal plant used for the delay of skin aging, according to the studies.
Skin aging is a natural and biological process of the human which can be stopped.
Long-term free radical damage to the skin through oxidative stress is the major cause of skin aging.
Exposure to the sun (photoaging) and pollution, and loss of subcutaneous support (fatty tissue between your skin and muscle) are some of the risk factors associated with the skin aging.
Some researchers suggested that skin expression may be considered as a refect of the general health of an individual. An unhealthy skin due to skin nutritional deficiency has been a target by the dermatology and cosmetic industries.
Dr.Silke K. Schagen in the study that links between nutrition and skin aging, said, "Vitamins, carotenoids, tocopherols, flavonoids and a variety of plant extracts have been reported to possess potent antioxidant properties and have been widely used in the skin care industry either as topically applied agents or oral supplements in an attempt to prolong youthful skin appearance".
The results strongly suggested that by providing enough nutrition to the skin needs, extrinsic causes of skin aging can be delayed
In skin wrinkle, according to the results of the studies by the Monash University, Melbourne, a high intake of certain food groups are associated with the speeding up of wrinkle, including meat, dairy, and butter. High intake of vegetables, legumes and olive oil appeared to be protective against cutaneous actinic damage.
Aloe Vera is species of succulent plant in the genus Aloe, belonging to the Family Xanthorrhoeaceae, native to Sudan. It has become very popular for commercial cultivation due to its health benefits.
The herbal plant has been used in herbal medicine in treating many kinds of disease, including wound, burn healing, minor skin infections, sebaceous cysts, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol, etc. It is also one of many popular herbs studied in scientific ways with some conflicting results.
The ten main areas of chemical constituents of Aloe vera include amino acids, anthraquinones, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, lignins, monosaccharide, polysaccharides, salicylic acid, saponins, and sterols.
They all work together in a synergistic way to create healing and health-giving benefits, according to Gertrude Baldwin in the article of THE BENEFITS OF THE USE OF ALOE VERA IN HERBAL PREPARATIONS.
With an aim to find a natural ingredient or whole food for the delay of skin aging researchers at the Seoul National University Boramae Hospital examined the effect of aloe gel on the clinical signs and biochemical changes of aging skin.
The experiment included 30 healthy female subjects over the age of 45 given 2 different doses (low-dose: 1,200 mg/d, high-dose: 3,600 mg/d) of aloe vera gel supplementation for 90 days with their baseline status as a control.
Aloe gel intake, the facial wrinkles improved significantly (p<0.05) in both groups, and facial elasticity improved in the lower-dose group.
The injection of the gel also increased the skin photoprotection and the type I procollagen mRNA levels in controlling the rate of procollagen synthesis.
The results were accompanied by the matrix (MMP-1) mRNA levels associated with the breaking down the interstitial collagens, types I, II, and III, particularly in the higher-dose group.
Type I procollagen was substantially increased throughout the dermis in Aloe treatment of the group.
Dr. Cho S, the lead scientist said, "Aloe gel significantly improves wrinkles and elasticity in photoaged human skin, with an increase in collagen production in the photoprotected skin and a decrease in the collagen-degrading MMP-1 gene expression".
The Kyung Hee University Global Campus in the investigation of the effects of Aloe vera on ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induces photo-damage of the skin, which in turn causes depletion of the dermal extracellular matrix and chronic alterations in skin structure.
By the comparison of the baby Aloe shoot extract (BAE, immature aloe extract), which is from the one-month-old shoots of Aloe vera, and adult aloe shoot extract (AE), which is from the four-month-old shoots of Aloe vera, protective effect on UVB-induced skin photoaging in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). researchers found that NHDF cells treated UVB-irradiation suppressed the matrixes associated with the breaking down the interstitial collagens, types I, II, and III, and the levels of inflammatory cytokines similar to that of the above study, compared to the AE-treated cells.
BAE treatment elevated type I procollagen which was reduced in photodamaged skin. mediated by the increasing levels of TGF-β1 levels which is a multifunctional cytokine.
The findings clearly suggested that herbal Aloe vera may be considered an anti-aging functional remedy with no side effects.

Phytochemical 3,3'-Diindolylmethane Processes Hepatic Protective Activity
Scientists may have found a bioactive ingredient which processes liver protective activity with no side effects, according to studies.
Hepatic protection is an action in which substances including medicine and herbal remedy were used to protect the liver against damage.
The liver is the largest internal organ with a function which filters the blood from the intestinal tract before passing them to the heart and other parts of the body.
Additonally, the liver also produces bile to aid digestion and cholesterol to build strong cell membranes, production of vitamin D and steroid hormones.
Liver disease is a broad term included any problems that cause the reduced function of the liver.
There are many risk factors that liver problems. Most cases of liver disease are diagnosed in the advanced stage, it takes years to develop.
In other words, symptoms of liver disease can be felt only after more than 75% liver is damage.
Most common risk factors are a genetic preposition, viruses, and long-term excessive alcohol drinking.
Non-alcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD), a leading cause of cirrhosis, is one of the most common liver disease found in the Western world, affecting up to 25% of people in the United States.
3,3'-Diindolylmethane or DIM are phytochemicals derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, belonging to the group of Indoles, found abundantly in broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale, etc.
In the urgency of finding a natural compound with liver protective activity, researchers examined the pharmacokinetics of I3C and its derivatives, including 3,3'-Diindolylmethane or DIM multiple protective roles in the processes of chronic liver diseases.
Administration of I3C and its derivatives relieved liver oxidative stress by regulating transcriptional factors and their respective signaling pathways associated with the synthesis of DNA to influence the activation, proliferation, and apoptosis of target cells.
Furthermore, indoles not only modulated the enzymes that are relevant to hepatitis viral replication, lipogenesis, and the metabolism associated with liver function but also protected the liver against hepatotoxicity (ethanol and some hepatotoxic substances).
In other words, the indoles exerted hepatoprotection by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines against microbial-induced liver injuries.
Based on the findings, Dr. Wang SQ, the lead scientist said, "Indoles, especially I3C and DIM as phytochemicals, exert anti-fibrosis, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, immunomodulatory, detoxification and anti-inflammation effects on hepatic protection through pleiotropic mechanism".
And, " I3C and DIM as phytochemicals, exert anti-fibrosis, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, immunomodulatory, detoxification and anti-inflammation effects on hepatic protection through pleiotropic mechanism".
Taken altogether, 3,3'-Diindolylmethane derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Furthermore, indoles not only modulated the enzymes that are relevant to hepatitis viral replication, lipogenesis, and the metabolism associated with liver function but also protected the liver against hepatotoxicity (ethanol and some hepatotoxic substances).
In other words, the indoles exerted hepatoprotection by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines against microbial-induced liver injuries.
Based on the findings, Dr. Wang SQ, the lead scientist said, "Indoles, especially I3C and DIM as phytochemicals, exert anti-fibrosis, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, immunomodulatory, detoxification and anti-inflammation effects on hepatic protection through pleiotropic mechanism".
And, " I3C and DIM as phytochemicals, exert anti-fibrosis, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, immunomodulatory, detoxification and anti-inflammation effects on hepatic protection through pleiotropic mechanism".
Taken altogether, 3,3'-Diindolylmethane derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
