Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate glucose.
In other words, diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.
The most common symptoms of diabetes are excessive thirst and hunger, frequent urination, unintended weight loss or gain, frequent fatigue, irritability, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea.
Some patients may also experience symptoms of blurred vision and slow wound healing or ulcer.
Prediabetes is caused by unhealthy diets with high saturated fat, smoking, and excessive alcohol drinking. Therefore, understanding prediabetes is a very important issue for prediabetics, because with proper diets, quit smoking, control alcohol intake, and exercises, prediabetes can be reversed or delayed.
People with a glucose level between 111mg/dl-125 mg/dl are considered pre-diabetics
Hyperglycemia, a medical condition of abnormally high blood glucose, is a major concern, in people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Most cases of hyperglycemia occurred in patients who do not manage their diabetes properly.
Hyperglycemia, a hallmark of diabetes has been found to induce diabetics complications, including neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy).
According to statistics, diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the US. Approximately 10% or 29.1 million people in the United States have diabetes, accompanied by 8.1 million that are undiagnosed and unaware of their condition.
About 1.4 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in the United States every year. More than one in every 10 adults who are 20 years or older has diabetes.
The immune system is the set of cells and their activity against antigens or infectious agents that comprise the body's defense system against diseases.
Immunomodulatory activity is an action that improves the underactive immune function that is susceptible to the invasion of the foreign microorganism and inhibits the overactive immune system that causes autoimmune diseases.
Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.
The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.
On finding a herbal medicine for the prevention and treatment of diabetes, researchers investigated the effects of the decoction HemoHIM on hyperglycemia and the immune response in diabetic mice.
Mice selected for the study were divided into nondiabetic and diabetic mice induced by a single injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 200 mg/kg, i.p.) orally administered HemoHIM (100 mg/kg) once a day for 4 weeks.
Diabetic mice with HemoHIM showed improved hyperglycemia and glucose tolerance as well as elevated plasma insulin levels with the preservation of insulin staining in pancreatic β-cells, compared to the diabetic control group.
Furthermore, HemoHIM treatment restored parameters associated with the onset of diabetes including thymus weight, white blood cells, lymphocyte numbers, and splenic lymphocyte populations (CD4(+) T and CD8(+) T), which were reduced in diabetic mice.
Moreover, HemoHIM also animalized the IFN-γ production associated with innate and adaptive immunity in response to Con A stimulation in facilitating mediated T cell proliferation.
Based on the results, researchers said, "HemoHIM may have potential as a glucose-lowering and immunomodulatory agent by enhancing the immune function of pancreatic β-cells in STZ-induced diabetic mice".
Taken altogether, Herbal Angelica used in the combination with other herbal medicines for the treatment of diabetes, pending to larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Kitchen Spice Turmeric Protects the Skin Cells Integrity Against Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin condition characterized by the speeds up of the life cycle of skin cells, leading to cells build up rapidly on the surface of the skin.
Symptoms of psoriasis caused by the extra skin cells form scales and red patches can be itchy and painful.
Epidemiologically, psoriasis patches can range from a few spots or large areas. The most common form of psoriasis is plaque psoriasis, a condition that induces dry, raised, red skin lesions (plaques) covered with silvery scales.
The causes of psoriasis are not identified. Researchers do not know why people with
the same health conditions in the same family, some are prone to psoriasis while others do not.
Certain risk factors such as family history, viral and bacterial infections, weakened immune systems, persistent stress, smoking, and obesity are associated with the risk of psoriasis.
Conventionally, topical corticosteroids are the most commonly prescribed medication for the treatment of the condition, particularly in patients with mild to moderate psoriasis.
If you are using corticosteroids for the treatment of psoriasis, please make sure you know all the side effects for preventive measures.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
On finding a potential ingredient for the treatment of psoriasis, an autoimmune and recurrent chronic inflammatory skin disorder, researchers examined a turmeric tonic as immune modulation and anti-inflammatory therapy on scalp psoriasis.
The study included a total of 40 patients with mild-to-moderate scalp psoriasis that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into two groups.
The treatment group received turmeric tonic twice a day for 9 weeks, whereas the other group received a placebo applied in the same manner.
Based on the results from the assessment of baseline, weeks 3, 6, and 9, the treatment group not only significantly reduced the erythema, scaling, and the duration of lesions (PASI score), but also improved the patients' quality of life. compared to placebo.
Researchers after taking other factors into account wrote, "The clinical effects of turmeric tonic on scalp psoriasis were satisfactory overall. This formulation could be considered as a treatment for scalp psoriasis".
In order to reveal more information about turmeric anti-psoriasis activity, researchers reviewed the effect of turmeric in the inhibition of inflammatory enzymes mainly involved in the inflammatory process of psoriasis.
The study included the examination of the randomized, clinical and therapeutic benefit of a novel topical formulation, included turmeric on 34 patients with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.
The treatment group showed a significant improvement in the symptoms of psoriasis and
the clinical and quality of life parameters compared to the untreated group.
Based on the findings, Dr. the lead scientist said, "the proposed microemulgel may well be considered as an alternative in some patients and most likely as an add-on therapeutic option for many patients suffering from plaque psoriasis".
Taken altogether, turmeric processed bioactive ingredient curcumin may be considered supplements for the treatment of psoriasis,, pending 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.

Herbal Angelica Sinensis in the Prevention and Treatment of Cervical Spondylosis
Degenerative disease is a progression causes degenerative cell changes due to aging, affecting tissues or organs, which will increasingly deteriorate over time. ...
Normal bodily wear and tear or lifestyle choices (such as exercise or eating habits) may worsen degenerative diseases, but this depends on the disease.
Epidemiologically, the most common degenerative diseases include
* Alzheimer's disease (AD).
*Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease).
* Cancers.
* Cystic fibrosis.
Cervical spondylosis is age-related wear and tear that affects the spinal disks in your neck.
In other words, these age-related wear and tear cause the disks to dehydrate and shrink, leading to osteoarthritis development, including bony projections along the edges of bones (bone spurs).
Cervical spondylosis is very common and worsens with age.
The most common symptoms of cervical spondylosis are, neck stiffness and pain and headache that may originate in the neck, pain in the shoulder or arms, inability to fully turn the head or bend the neck, sometimes interfering with driving, and grinding noise or sensation when the neck is turned.
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of degenerative diseases, scientists examined the clinical effect of cervical paravertebral nerve block combined with Mailuoning and Angelica sinensis injection in the treatment of nerve-root type cervical spondylosis.
A total of 120 patients with nerve-root type cervical spondylosis who were randomly divided into a research group (n=60) that was treated by cervical paravertebral nerve block combined with Mailuoning and Angelica sinensis injection compared to the control group which was applied with glucocorticoid nerve block therapy.
According to the results of the comparison, the total therapeutic response rate of the research group was relatively higher than the control.
By comparing various clinical effect scores between the two groups, the research group also had advantages over the control group.
Furthermore, The treatment satisfaction degree of the research group was also higher than that of the control group.
Based on the findings, researchers concluded, " application of cervical paravertebral nerve block combined with Mailuoning and Angelica sinensis injection can achieve better medical results and achieve higher treatment satisfaction degree".
Taken altogether, angelica used together with other herbal medicines may be considered an adjunct remedy for the treatment of cervical spondylosis, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Added This Queen Herb for ANTI: Ageing, Menstrual Disorders and Menopause Symptoms and More.......
Chaste tree berry processes both estrogenic and anti-estrogenic properties may be considered as a functional food for women in delayed aging progression, restored hormone balance in ameliorated menstrual disorders, and alleviated menopausal symptoms, and more........
Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belongings to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as an aphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.
Estrogenic Property
Chaste tree berry (Vitex agnus-castus L.) displaced estrogenic ability induced the reaction of estrogen from the binding site of estrogen receptors alpha (ERalpha) and beta (ERbeta), in ameliorated the deregulation of 17β-Estradiol (E2) in exhibited the initiation and progression of cell malignancies, affecting various aspect in women body, a study by respectable Institute suggested.
According to the University of Illinois at Chicago, linoleic acid isolated from the extract of Vitex agnus-castus exerted estrogenic activity in binding to estrogen receptors, inducing certain estrogen-inducible gene expression in preserving the integrity of the genome, presented in a cell or organism.
Dr. Jarry H, the lead author in the study of "evidence for estrogen receptor beta-selective activity of Vitex agnus-castus and isolated flavones" found that besides linoleic acid, flavones derivative vitexin and Pendleton. isolated from Vitex agnus-castus (VAC) also expressed estrogenic effect as most active ERss-selective phytoestrogens.
Anti-estrogen Property
Chaste tree berry(Vitex agnus-castus), also processes anti-estrogenic property in binding the estrogen receptors for a balance between the activities of estrogen receptor ERα or ERβ.
Anti estrogenic effects is an action of binding the estrogen receptor(ERα ) and/ERβ in inhibiting the excessive levels of estrogen circulating in the body.
According to the University of Alabama in Huntsville, in the study of the potential effect of estrogen mimics or anti-estrogens in phytochemicals of popular dietary herbal supplements, researchers found that almost all herbal supplements containing phytochemical components showed a capability in binding to the human estrogen receptor and exhibit selective estrogen receptor modulation, including chaste tree berry.
Casticin, a flavonoid isolated from Vitex rotundifolia, significantly expressed an anti-estrogenic effect in reduced the prolactin release stimulated by E2 in induced inhibition of ERα mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent manner, through its anti-estrogenic effect.
In hyperprolactinemia (MIHP) induced by administration of metoclopramide dihydrochloride (50 mg/kg, tid, ip, for 10 d) in SD rats, application of casticin (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg, ip, for 7 d) reduced serum prolactin levels by 33.9%, 54.3%, and 64.7% and at(1 and 10 micromol/L) inhibited E2-induced pituitary cell proliferation by 27.7% and 42.1%, respectively through reduced levels of 17β-Estradiol (E2) significantly.
More importantly, oral administration of casticin, a flavonoid isolated from Vitex rotundifolia displayed an anti-estrogenic activity in decrease excessive levels of 17β-Estradiol (E2) significantly
Summary
Chaste tree berry(Vitex agnus-castus) exerts estrogenic components of plant extracts may constitute a potential use for some dietary supplements in human for the treatment of various estrogen-related syndromes and diseases, including breast and prostate cancers, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis and stroke, and neurodegeneration and anti-estrogenic effects in binding estrogen receptor site to preserve the balancing of hormone expression of estrogen through ER-alpha and ERBeta inhibition and exhibition by regulating the function of some estrogen-inducible genes.
In other words, chaste tree berry stimulated estrogen receptors in release estrogen into the blood in case of deficiency or inhibited extra levels of estrogen in case of excess in maintenance hormone balancing with other sex hormones.

Chaste Tree Berry, the Best Functional Food for Treatment of Female Sex Hormone Deficiency
A renowned institute study suggested that Chaste tree berry may be a functional food for the treatment of female sex hormone deficiency.
Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of years as an aphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.
According to a joint study lead by the Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, orally administrated Vitex agnus-castus fruit improved hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in the regulation of the reproductive system and immune system in free radical scavenger activities involved natural aging, in a d-galactose induced aging model in female mice.
Mice injected with d-galactose (500 mg/kg/d for 45 days) in seventy-two female NMRI mice (48 3-month-old normal mice and 24 18-24-month-old mice), weighing 30-35 g randomly divided into six groups: control, Vitex, d-galactose, Vitex + d-galactose, Aging, and Vitex + Aging, groups treated with Chaste tree berry or combination with herbal medicine showed a strong effect in increased the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone.
Dr. Ahangarpour A, the lead researcher said, " Vitex can be suitable for some aging problems such as oxidative stress, female sex hormone deficiency, and an atrophic endometrium".
Furthermore, the testing of flavonoid glycosides, orientin and apigenin 3, 8-di-C-glycosides and iridoid compound, aucubin isolated from the ethanolic extract of Vitex agnus-castus fruits, also showed a significant increase in plasma progesterone and total estrogens levels and reduction in luteinizing and plasma prolactin hormones in two dose levels 0.6 and 1.2 g kg(-1) per body weight (b.w.).
Additionally, the study also found that the ethanolic extract induced a significant increase in the uterine weight which showed an interaction of the sexual hormone of progesterone and estrogen of ovariectomized rats at two dose levels comparable to that of a control group.
Dr. Jillian Stansbury, not the author of the above studies said, "Consumption of Vitex fruits by female chimpanzees as part of their natural diets has been found to dramatically increase progesterone levels in the urine, indicating an overall progesterone effect.34 One hypothesis is that reduced LH allows the follicle-stimulating hormone to dominate and can lead to decreased estrogen and testosterone and a relative increase in progesterone".
Taking together, in women, Chaste Tree Berry may have a strong effect in influencing sex hormones
production in an expression of antioxidant, anti-aging, and normalized hormone activities.

Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of years as an aphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.
According to a joint study lead by the Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, orally administrated Vitex agnus-castus fruit improved hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in the regulation of the reproductive system and immune system in free radical scavenger activities involved natural aging, in a d-galactose induced aging model in female mice.
Mice injected with d-galactose (500 mg/kg/d for 45 days) in seventy-two female NMRI mice (48 3-month-old normal mice and 24 18-24-month-old mice), weighing 30-35 g randomly divided into six groups: control, Vitex, d-galactose, Vitex + d-galactose, Aging, and Vitex + Aging, groups treated with Chaste tree berry or combination with herbal medicine showed a strong effect in increased the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone.
Dr. Ahangarpour A, the lead researcher said, " Vitex can be suitable for some aging problems such as oxidative stress, female sex hormone deficiency, and an atrophic endometrium".
Furthermore, the testing of flavonoid glycosides, orientin and apigenin 3, 8-di-C-glycosides and iridoid compound, aucubin isolated from the ethanolic extract of Vitex agnus-castus fruits, also showed a significant increase in plasma progesterone and total estrogens levels and reduction in luteinizing and plasma prolactin hormones in two dose levels 0.6 and 1.2 g kg(-1) per body weight (b.w.).

Herbal Angelica sinensis, the Potential Anti-Oxidative Stress Remedy
The expression of oxidative stress is a medical condition characterized by the imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidant enzymes produced by the host tissue.
In some cases, this reaction also is caused the long-term accumulation of toxic substances in the body, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic.
There is no single cause of oxidative stress. Some researchers suggested that a number of factors can facilitate the onset of oxidative stress, including cigarette smoke, oxidative burst from activated macrophages, particularly, the free radicals chain reaction.
Sadly, a prolonged period of oxidative stress present in the human body can cause oxidative damage to biomolecules, (lipids, proteins, DNA) and the death of healthy cells through cytotoxicity including atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetics, rheumatoid arthritis, post-ischemic perfusion injury, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular diseases, chronic inflammation, and stroke.
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron on the outer ring of the atom.
Due to its nature to become stable, free radicals readily to donate or steal an electron from other molecules, leading to the chain of domino's effect that can not be stopped until either the electrons are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.
This chain of reaction is the cause of oxidative stress, a condition is associated with either overexpression of free radicals or depletion of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host organs.
Antioxidants are stable atom that plays a critical role in protecting the body against the attack of free radicals.
In other words, antioxidants inhibited the onset of free radicals before they can cause a chain reaction in facilitating protein, lipid, and cell damage.
Apoptosis refers to the death of cells which occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development associated with the limited cycle division.
Anti-apoptotic activity found in cancer is associated with the proliferation and unlimited cell cycle division for the growth of cancer.
Chemo drugs used for the treatment of cancer can also cause cancer cell death by inducing toxicity. However, the treatment also leads to the death of healthy cells and weakened immune functioning.
Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.
The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.
On finding a natural compound for the treatment of malignant tumors, the researchers examined the effects of Angelica Sinensis' polysaccharide (ASP) anti-apoptotic activity.
Based on the experimental differentiation, IN H9c2 cell, treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), A. Sinensis exerted protective effects against oxidative injury through its various active ingredients on the regulation of multiple pathways associated with pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by oxidative stress.
Furthermore, ASP pretreatment significantly decreased H2O2-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis in H9c2 cells.
Moreover, H2O2-induced oxidative stress observed by the expression of oxidative stress and ER stress markers such as malondialdehyde production and lactic dehydrogenase release was also inhibited by the antioxidant activity of ASP.
Collectively, researchers said, " Conclusions Our findings indicate that ASP, a major water-soluble component of A. Sinensis, exerts protective effects against H2O2-induced injury in H9c2 cells by activating the ATF6 pathway, thus ameliorating ER and oxidative stress".
Taken altogether, Herbal Angelica may be considered a remedy that protects the cell against oxidative stress, pending to larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cranberry Decreases Homocysteine and Increases Adiponectin Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
Homocysteine produced in the bloodstream is a common amino acid in the blood from eating meat.
High levels of homocysteine in the blood have increased the risk of heart disease and stroke.
In other words, homocysteine induced atherosclerosis by causing arterial damage, leading to the accumulation and formation of the plaque and blood clot.
Believe it or not, overexpression of homocysteine accompanied by the low levels of vitamins B6, B12, and folate, also have been found in some patients with renal disease.
Dr. Bradley A. Maron, the lead scientist in the examination of the disease associated with hyperhomocysteinemia wrote, "The unique biochemical profile of homocysteine is characterized by chemical reactivity supporting a wide range of molecular effects, and a tendency to promote oxidant stress-induced cellular toxicity".
And, "Numerous epidemiological reports have established hyperhomocysteinemia as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, dementia-type disorders, and osteoporosis-associated fractures".
Adiponectin is a type of protein associated with the function that regulates glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown.
The protein also plays a critical role in the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Low levels of adiponectin levels increase the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
In type 2 diabetes, and administration of adiponectin not lowers plasma glucose levels but also increases insulin sensitivity.
More precisely, in patients with type 2 diabetes, increased levels of adiponectin involved in the enhancement of insulin sensitivity were attributed to the increase of fatty acid oxidation and inhibition of hepatic glucose production.
Dr. Lihn AS in the examing the effects of administration of adiponectin in type 2 diabetes wrote, "adiponectin in addition to possible anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects appears to be an insulin enhancer, with potential as a new pharmacologic treatment modality of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes".
Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.
On finding a potential compound for the inhibition of cardiovascular risk factors, researchers examined the effects of cranberry juice concomitantly on homocysteine and adiponectin levels in patients with the MetS.
The study included a total of 36 individuals with the MetS divided into two groups: the control group (n 36) and cranberry-treated group(n 20) received cranberry juice (0·7 liters/d) containing 0·4mg folic acid for 60 days.
According to tested analysis, the cranberry-treated group showed an increase in adiponectin involved in regulating glucose levels as well as fatty acid breakdown and a decrease in homocysteine associated with a risk for heart disease comapred to baseline values and the controls.
However, the cranberry-treated group improved MetS without affecting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-a, IL-1, and IL-6.
According to the measurement of oxidative stress, the cranberry-treated group also showed decreased lipoperoxidation and protein oxidation levels, compared to the control group.
The results strongly suggested that chronic consumption of cranberry juice for 60 d improves some cardiovascular risk factors.
Based on the findings, researchers concluded. "The present data reinforce the importance of the inverse association between homocysteine and adiponectin and the need for more specifically designed studies on MetS patients.".
Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of MetS, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
