The smoothie for women with Endometriosis
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 1/2 cups tomatoes
1 tsp of curcumin
1 cup of rice milk

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

The finding the natural ingredient for prevention and treatment of endometriosis to replace the adverse effects of conventional medicine has been facing many obstacles. Many initially potentially therapeutic values working in animal studies does not produce the same effectiveness in human trials.

Scientists in some well known institution may have found the combination of ingredients of tomato(1) and curcumin(5) and with therapeutic values for reduced painful symptoms and treatment of endometriosis, recent studies suggested.

During the last stage of the menstrual cycle, normally a layer of endometriosis lining on the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood. If, some of the endometrial tissues travelled somewhere in the body, it may induce endometriosis. Endometriosis.also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, such as building up tissue, breaking it and eliminating it through menstrual period.
Tomato is a red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belongs to family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, tomato is grown world wide for commercial purpose and often in green house. Retinoic acid, a metabolite of vitamin A was found effectively for treatment of endometriosis through its function of promotion survival or apoptosis of cells, according to the University of California(1).
Dr. Pavone ME and colleagues in the study of altered retinoid uptake and action in patient with endometriosis, treatment of endometriosis may be depended to genes in metabolism of retinol (RA)(2). On animal model, RA exhibited anti endometrial effects by decreasing the volume of endometriotic implants were significantly decreased during menstruation(3).
Furthermore, in the study of all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) against endometriosis, researchers showed that RA inhibited the development of endometriotic implants by reduced the proinflmmatory cytokines IL-6 and the beta chemokine family MCP-1 production(4).

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia, used in trditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc. Its phytochemical curcumin has showed to exhibit anti endometriosis effect, through reducing estradiol production(5).
According to the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, through inhibiting MMP-2 activity, involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix (ECM) in normal physiological processes, curcumin delayed endometriosis development and endometrial progression(6).

The spice also showed to inhibited (MMP)-9 of which may relate to the either post- or pre-endometriosis arrested endometriosis in a dose-dependent manner(7), Dr Swarnakar S and Dr. Paul S. said.

Taking altogether, women who are at increased risk of endometriosis due to menstrual irregularity, family history .....should drink at least one serving daily and women with endometriosis should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.
Change of life style and diet pattern are also recommended.

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions which affect the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, Obstructive lung diseases, Restrictive lung diseases, Respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and muscles breathing , etc,.

Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis is defined as a condition chracterized by the damage of the localized, irreversible dilation of part of the bronchial tree and the walls of the large airways of the lung as a result of the destruction of the lung muscles and elastic tissues. Bronchiectasis can be present alone, but in most cases, it is a disease coexisted with patient of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The Treatment

In traditional Chinese medicine perspective
Traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, according to the study of the general law of typing of bronchiectasis according to syndrome differentiation in 563 patients with bronchiectasis, suggested that accumulation of phlegm-heat in the lungs (45.65%), liver fire attacking the lungs (24.51%), asthenia of pulmonosplenic qi (22.38%), asthenia of both qi and yin (7.46%) were the main types(56).
1. Zhi Kuo Fang
In the study to explore the effects of Zhikuofang, a TCM prescription, and Ofloxacin on the inflammation and cytostatics of the airway model of bronchiectasis, showed that Zhikuofang is better than Ofloxacin in following aspects: lowering the density of inflammation cells in blood, decreasing the volume of tracheal secretion and inhibiting the cytostatics (IL-8 and TNF-alpha) of the trachea tissue, but Ofloxacin is more effective in diminishing the amount of bacteria in trachea flushing liquor. There was no marked difference between them in their histopathy effects on the trachea(57).
2. Heat Hua Tan Zhi Ke method
In the study of about 20 cases of Chinese medicine treatment of bronchiectasis, posted in Research paper centre, of a total of 40 bronchiectasis patients were randomly divided into two groups, 20 patients in each treatment group orally self Bronchiectasis square and subtraction with the disease control group were treated with western medicine, and 15 days for a course of treatment, two courses after the assessment of treatment outcome results of the treatment group was 76.7%, with a total effective rate of 96.7%, the control group was 60%, the total effective rate was 86.7%, the two groups significant efficiency and total efficiency comparison, the differences were statistically significant ( P <0.01)(58).

The Marvelous smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of Dysmenorrhea

Recent studies of the combination of fennel(1), ginger(4)may have a potential and therapeutic values for reduced painful symptoms and treatment of dysmenorrhea.
Fennel is a species of Foeniculum Vulgare, belong to the family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), and native to to the shores of the Mediterranean. It is now widely cultivated all around the globe to use as food and herb.
According to the Babol University of Medical Sciences and Health Services, in a total of 60 virgin girls with complaints ofdysmenorrhoea, 30 mg fennel extract, four times a day for three days from start of their menstrual period significantly reduced menstrual pain(1).

Dr. Modaress Nejad V and Dr.Asadipour M. in comparison of the effectiveness of fennel and mefenamic acid on pain intensity in dysmenorrhoea, said," In the fennel group, 80% of girls and in the mefenamic acid group, 73% of girls showed complete pain relief or pain decrease", in a study of groups of high-school girls, suffering dysmenorrhoea randomized to receive fennel extract (n = 55) or mefenamic acid (n = 55) for 2 months(2).

Furthermore, the University of Tehran Medical Sciences in the stutdy of uterine contraction as a model for dysmenorrhea, fennel essential oil (FEO), reduced the frequency of contractions induced by (prostaglandin hormone) PGE-2 with little or no adverse effects(3).

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root is the genus Zingiber, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil, used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
According to Dr. Backon J. at the Mount Pleasant Hospital Addiction Studies Foundation, ginger, may be effective for treatment of pain and cramping of dysmenorrhea as a thromboxane synthetase(antiplatelet drugs) inhibitor in activation of the endorphin receptors(6).

Dr. Halder A in the study of the muscle relaxation versus intake of ginger powder on dysmenorrhoea, said," in treating symptoms of dysmenorrhoea, gingerpowder has efficacy superior to progressive muscle relaxation."(5).

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids found abundantly in almond may be adding to the curable ingredients for reduced painful symptoms and treatment of Primary Dysmenorrhea(7). According to the Semnan University of Medical Sciences, oral administration of supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids not only reduced the symptom intensity but also reduced doses of ibuprofen for women with dysmenorrhea(7).
In a double-blind, randomized clinical trial study of management of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea, application of Omega 3 fatty acids significantly reduce dysmenorrhea and the emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome(8).

In support of the above efficacy, the Children's Hospital Medical Center study showed a positive result of dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids in inhibition of dysmenorrheain adolescents(9).

Taking altogether, women who are at increased risk of dysmenorrhea due to menstrual irregularity .....should drink at least one serving daily and women with dysmenorrhea should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.
Change life style and diet pattern are also recommended.

Most Common Diseases of elder: Bronchiectasis (Respiratory Disease) Treatment In herbal medicine perspective

The aim of herbal medicine is to prevent lung infections and relieve its symptoms. Herbs support the lungs, strengthen the immune system and repair tissues, include

1. Herbs support the lungs
In the study of the effect of astragalus membranceus(fisch) bge, codonpsis pilosula and glycyrrhiza uralensis fisch on airway responsiveness, found that after 28 asthmatic patients received the treatment of those herbs, the results showed that FVC value increased obviously (t = 2.217, P < 0.05) and the value of FEV1 and PEF was all higher compared with before treatment of the herbs (P < 0.01)(53).

2. Herbs enhance immunity
In the study of the effect of Chinese herbs (Astragalus radix and Ganoderma lucidum) on immune response of carp in fish fed diets containing Astragalus (0.5%), Ganoderma (0.5%) and combination of two herbs (Astragalus 0.5% and Ganoderma 0.5%) for 5 weeks, showed that feeding non-vaccinated and vaccinated carp with combination of Astragalus and Ganoderma stimulated respiratory burst activity, phagocytosis of phagocytic cells in blood and lysozyme and circulatory antibody titres in plasma in vaccinated carp. Fish challenged with A. hydrophila had variable survival. The best survival (60%) was in vaccinated group fed with both herbs, while almost 90% of control fish (negative control) and 60% of fish vaccinated only (positive control) died(54).

3. Herbs repair tissues
According to the study by Ohio State University’s Heart and Lung Research Institute, Grape-seed extractseemed to aid wound healing in two ways: It helped the body make more of a compound used to regenerate damaged blood vessels, and it also increased the amount of free radicals in the wound site. Free radicals help clear potentially pathogenic bacteria from a wound(55).

The smoothie for woman with primary dysmenorrhea

Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1/2 cup cooked fennel
1 large slice of ginger
1/4 cup of celery
1 1/2 cups of almond milk

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately

The finding of a natural source for reduced risk and treatment of Primary Dysmenorrhea has encountered many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially the promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in either large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Recent study from some well known institutions suggested that combination of ginger(1) and fennel(4) and celery(8) may hold a key for a natural ingredients for reduced painful symptoms and treatment of Primary Dysmenorrhea.

In primary dysmenorrhea patient, ginger is effective on pain relief without inducing adverse effects and may be used as an alternative treatment for primary dysmenorrhea, according to the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences(1) and treatment of ginger in students with primary dysmenorrhea for 5 days also showed a statistically significant effect on relieving intensity and duration of pain, the Shahed University, study suggested(2).

Furthermore, in osteoarthritic patient, Dr. Therkleson T said," ginger therapy activated a marked relief of osteoarthritis symptoms that progressively improved over the 24 weeks, with no negative effects reported. Ginger therapy needs to be considered by nurses caring for specific personality types with osteoarthritis"(3).

Fennel is a species of Foeniculum Vulgare, belongings to the family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), and native to to the shores of the Mediterranean. It is now widely cultivated all around the globe to use as food and herb.

In the investigation of the occurrence of painful menstrual cramps of uterus and comparison of medical therapy such as mefenamic acid [non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)] and oral contraceptive pills, researchers at the Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, fennel is very effective in reducing the severity of dysmenorrhea, but with an unpleasant taste in view of most of the volunteers(4).

Also in a cohort of seventy women, 15-24 years old from a local university and high-school, who complained of dysmenorrhea, essence of fennel reduced painful symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea but lesser potency in comparison to mefenamic acid(5).

The Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, in double-blind clinical trial of 105 students with mild and moderate dysmenorrhea, Fennelin and vitagnus had higher effect than mefenamic acid. in contracts to the precedent study, probably due to dosage different effects(6).
Dr. Ghodsi Z and Dr.Asltoghiri M said," considering the safety of herbal medicines, this drug(one soft capsule Fennel (30 mg)) can use to relieve dysmenorrheal signs and menstrual duration(7).

Celery is a species of Apium graveolens, belong to the family Apiaceae, cultivated all around the globe as a vegetable. According to the clinical controlled trial conducted by the Nursing Midwifery School, oral administration of celery seed extracts three times a day for three days, starting from the onset of bleeding or pain reduced symptoms of pain in in pain scores and pain duration scores(8).

Taking altogether, women with Primary Dysmenorrhea should drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.
Change of life style and diet pattern are also recommended.

Most Common Diseases of elder: Bronchiectasis (Respiratory Disease) Treatment In conventional medicine perspective

C.1.1. Therapies
1. Pulmonary rehabilitation
In the studyn to evaluate the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) recognized in national and international guidelines and highlighted by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence as one of the six key priorities for improving the care of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, PR is likely to be effective in bronchiectasis as it is in COPD, showed that the results highlighted the potential role of PR in patients with bronchiectasis, however further investigations are needed to identify the most eligible patients and to optimize the training programs to maintain long term benefit. Chest x-ray may represent a relevant instrument to observe the clinical improvement of these patients, also when spirometric values do not change significantly(43).
2. Oxygen therapy
Oxygen therapy is reserved for hypoxemic patients with severe disease and end-stage complications,
3. Exercise training and inspiratory muscle training
In the study of thirty two patients with idiopathic bronchiectasis who were randomly allocated to one of three groups: PR plus sham IMT (PR-SHAM), PR plus targeted IMT (PR-IMT), or control, all patients (except the control group) underwent an 8 week training programme of either PR or PR plus targeted IMT. Exercise training during PR was performed three times weekly at 80% of the peak heart rate. IMT was performed at home for 15 minutes twice daily over the 8 week period, found that PR is effective in improving exercise tolerance in bronchiectasis but there is no additional advantage of simultaneous IMT. IMT may, however, be important in the longevity of the training effects(44).
4. Hypertonic saline inhalations
In the study of 37 bronchiectasis patients without cystic fibrosis inhaled 4 ml of a 6 per cent saline solution twice a day for three months, found that inhalation did not decrease oxygen saturation but did lower slightly the PEF value. SGRQ score decreased by 9.2 points on the average (p = 0.002) indicating clinically significant improvement in quality of life(45).
5. Bronchopulmonary hygiene physical therapy
Bronchopulmonary hygiene physical therapy is a form of chest physical therapy including chest percussion and postural drainage to remove lung secretions. But according to the study to assess the effects of bronchial hygiene physical therapy in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchiectasis, showed that there is not enough evidence to support or refute the use of bronchial hygiene physical therapy in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchiectasis(46).
6. Bronchodilator therapy
Bronchodilator therapy helps to dilate the bronchi and bronchioles, decrease resistance in the respiratory airway and increase airflow to the lungs, such as Short-acting β2-agonists, Long-acting β2-agonists and Anticholinergics.
7. Anti-inflammatory Therapy
The aim of anti-inflammatory therapy is to modify the inflammatory response caused by the microorganisms. In the testing the hypothesis that azithromycin would decrease the frequency of exacerbations, increase lung function, and improve health-related quality of life in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, showed that found that Azithromycin is a new option for prevention of exacerbations in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis with a history of at least one exacerbation in the past year(47).
8. Antibiotic Therapy
1. Intravenous (IV) antibiotics therapy
Patients with recurrent exacerbations (five or more exacerbations per year) and subjectively reporting ill health, intravenous (IV) antibiotics therapy is recommended.
In the study to assess the impact of 8-weekly intravenous (IV) antibiotics on exacerbation frequency and health-related quality of life in bronchiectasis, indicated that treatment with 8-weekly intravenous antibiotics in severe bronchiectasis reduced exacerbation frequency and improved exercise tolerance and health-related quality of life(48).
2. Oral antibiotics therapy
a. For patients with moderate-to-severe symptoms, parenteral antibiotics, such as an aminoglycoside (gentamicin, tobramycin) and an antipseudomonal synthetic penicillin, a third-generation cephalosporin, or a fluoroquinolone, etc. are recommended.
b. For patients with chronic bronchial infections and need regular antibiotic may put on prescribed oral antibiotics either regularly or a set of time.
3. Inhaled antibiotics
Inhaled antibiotics are increasingly used in patients with non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis. According to the study by Unidad de Neumología, Hospital General de Requena, studies performed to date have shown several positive effects on some key parameters such as a reduction in the number of colonies and the quantity and purulence of sputum, improved quality of life and fewer exacerbations, although this therapy has little impact on accelerated loss of pulmonary function. The percentage of eradication varies, with a low rate of resistance. The clearest use of inhaled antibiotics in patients with non-CF bronchiectasis is probably colonization, especially chronic infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Adverse effects are usually mild and consist of local irritation of the airway, although their frequency is greater than that in patients with CF(49).
C.1.2. Surgery
The role of surgery has declined at least by the number of literature reports. Except for cures for local bronchiectasis, surgical resection is now used topalliate disease activity by removing the most affected segments and lobes, according to the study by Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Oregon Health Sciences University(50).
1. Sugery of localised areas of lung, surgical resection of the affected segments
Standard treatment for bronchiectasis comprises postural drainage and various regimes of antibiotic therapy. If the disease is confined to localised areas of lung, surgical resection of the affected segments is often performed, according to the stduy University Hospital Aintree(51).
2. Lung transplantation
Lung transplantation is an established treatment for end-stage bronchiectasis. In a retrospective observational study of all who received a transplant for bronchiectasis at the unit of Papworth Hospital NHS Trust and to compare the survival after transplant, number of infective and rejection episodes, and the change in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), found that here was no evidence that transplant recipients with bronchiectasis and antibody deficiency have a worse prognosis than those with bronchiectasis alone(52).

The curable smoothies are collection of recipes produced from natural sources, including organic fruits and vegetables, and some herbs which have been proven effectively for reduced risk and treatment for diseases and syndromes by scientific research of clinical trials and/or studies.

The finding of foods from natural sources has been a dream of scientists and scholars since ancient time. Socrates Said," Let foods be your medicine and let medicine be your foods". Let all of us all exercise the values of the past wisdom to build a letter living and living health while enjoining these delicious drinks.

The smoothie for Prevention and Treatment of Photo Aging

Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1/2 cup wolfberry
1 cup tomato
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams(2 tea bags) of green tea, a slice of ginger and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and set aside for cooling to room temperature)

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

Photoaging is the premature aging of the skin due to chronic exposure of skin to ultraviolet (UV) light of the Sun.

Wolfberry, the common name for the fruit of two very closely related species, the genus of Lycium, belong to family Solanaceae, native to southeastern Europe and Asia showd to attenuate biological effects of skin photo-damage through reduction of cell apoptosis in the epidermis of skin organ cultures and pro-inflammatory cytokine(1).
Zeaxanthin is a xanthophyll, an oxygenated carotenoid found in wolfberry expressed antioxidant and blue light-absorbing properties in reduced the risk of photo damage caused by chronic exposure(2).

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Because of their health benefits, they have been cultivated for commercial purposes all over the world.
Green tea polyphenols, according to the study by the University of Minnesota conferred protective effects on the skin against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-induced acceleration of skin aging and reduced the degradation of fibrillar collagen and elastic fibers(3).

In fact, the University of Alabama at Birmingham study also demonstrated the skin photo aging protective effect of green tea polyphenols (GTP) against ultraviolet (UV)-B through mediators of UVB-induced immune suppression and skin cancer induction(5).

Dr. Katiyar SK said," Topical application of GTP and EGCG prior to exposure of UVB protects against UVB-induced local as well as systemic immune suppression in laboratory animals, which was associated with the inhibition of UVB-induced infiltration of inflammatory leukocytes"(4).

Measurement of the lycopene concentration has shown to correlate to the structures of the furrows and wrinkles, skin roughness of 20 volunteers aged between 40 and 50 years(8).

Tomato is a red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belongings to family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, tomato is grown world wide for commercial purpose
and often in green house. The vegetable may be another candidate with pharmaceutical value with promising result for treatment of photo aging due to high levels of carotenoids(6).

According to the University of Hohenheim, combined supplementation of beta-carotene, alpha-tocopherol and ascorbic acid in addition to topical sunscreens may help to lower the risk of sunburning, through suppression of the early phase of UV-induced erythema cause of subsequent chronic skin damage(7).

As these result, people who are at increased risk of photo aging due to chronic exposure of ultraviolet sun light, and people already have photo skin aging should drink the juice as much as they can, depending to the toleration of digestive system.
