Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).

3. Massage Therapy
Massage therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine over thousands of year for treatment of osteoarthritis (OA)(392,321) was effective in reduced pain of mild to moderate juvenile rheumatoid arthritis through mediation of children's anxiety and stress hormone (cortisol) levels(322).
Furthermore, in a forty-two adults with rheumatoid arthritis, light pressure massage therapy improved grip strength following the first and last massage sessions, reduced pain and promoted range of motion in their wrist and large upper joints (elbows and shoulders) by the end of the one month period(324).
Dr. Field T said," Moderate pressure massage,....increased weight gain in preterm infants, reduced pain in different syndromes including fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, enhanced attentiveness, reduced depression and enhanced immune function (increased natural killer cells and natural killer cell activity).......(as well as) reduced depression, anxiety and heart rate, ...... increased vagal activity and decreased cortisol levels"(323)

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Glomerulosclerosis
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1 cup sweet potato1/2 cup carrot
1 cup Spanish drink
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 treatment of Glomerulosclerosis has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.
According to the Lorestan University of Medical Sciences, Coenzyme Q10 alleviated glomerulosclerosis on the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes activity in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats(1).
Vitamin E, found abundantly in sweet potato, ameliorated expression of glomerulosclerosis, restored renal neuronal nitric oxide synthesis (NOS) by suppressing the oxidative stress in animal model(4)
Retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A , found in carrot can revert renal progenitor differentiation and promote podocyte regeneration in progression toward glomerulosclerosis(5).
According to the The First Affiliaionted Hospital of GuangXi Medical University, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a promising therapeutic agent with function mimicked those of vitamin A, exhibited the protective effect against glomerulosclerosis (GS) lesions in rats, similar to renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS)(6).
Dr. Zhou TB and colleagues at the The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, said, "(all-trans retinoic acid) ATRA can increase the gelatinases expressions and reduce the accumulation of apoE in glomerulus of GS rats,...."(7).
The effectiveness of Spanish, Sweet Potato and Carrot may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for for Reduced Risk and treatment of Glomerulosclerosis with little or no adverse effects.
People who are at increased risk of Glomerulosclerosis due to aging, weaken reno function.,..... should drink the smoothie twice a day and people with Glomerulosclerosis should drink as much as they can, depending to the digestive toleration.
Life style and dietary patter change are recommended.

Respiratory Disease
Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions, affecting 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,.
Restrictive lung diseases or restrictive ventilatory defects
Restrictive lung disease is a condition marked most obviously by a reduction in total lung capacity. A restrictive ventilatory defect may be caused by a pulmonary deficit, such as pulmonary fibrosis (abnormally stiff, non-compliant lungs), or by non-pulmonary deficits, including respiratory muscle weakness, paralysis, and deformity or rigidity of the chest wall(1).
The Prevention
1. Lose weight if you are Obese
Obesity is associated to the increased risk of Restrictive lung disease. According to the study to evaluate the effects of obesity on the pulmonary function of adult women, showed that the alterations evidenced in the components of the vital capacity (inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume) suggest damage to the chest mechanics caused by obesity. These factors probably contributed to a reduction of the maximal voluntary ventilation(22).
2. Quit smoking
A similar trend was observed in the control group indicating that smoking had a deteriorating effect on spirometric tests. The results of the pulmonary function tests showed a predominantly restrictive type of pulmonary impairment (12.3%) followed by a mixed ventilatory defect (8.7%)(23).
3. Prevention of occupational causes of the diseases and second smoke
In the study to investigate symptomatology, lung function, and radiographic change over an average period of 8 to 9 yr, of Sixty-four subjects with asbestos-related diffuse pleural thickening attending the London Medical Boarding Centre for Respiratory Diseases, showed that Chest pain was a common symptom, occurring in over half of the subjects. Approximately one-third of the subjects had a history of pleurisy or pleural effusion. Full long function, available in all cases, showed a highly significant decrement (p < 0.001) compared with predicted values in all variables except gas transfer coefficient (Kco) at initial presentation, consistent with a restrictive ventilatory defect(24).
4. Traditional Mediterranean diet
Eating plenty of fruit, vegetables and fish keep lungs healthy. Those who follow a diet closest to this ” Mediterranean ” ideal are less likely as their peers with eating habits furthest from this pattern to develop chronic lung disease. A good amount of fresh vegetable juices are a good way to start healing, along with adding a variety of spices such as ginger, onions, and garlic. The emphasis should be on eating as healthy a diet as possible(25).

The most oldest form of medical treatment in traditional Chinese medicine has been known for its function in relief pain(383,313) and functional limitation(384,314) for chronic patient, including patient with moderate or severe chronic pain(383,313).
The Cochrane Field of Rehabilitation and Related Therapies and the Cochrane Musculoskeletal Review suggests the effectiveness of acupuncture as a rehabilitation of an adjunct therapy for the symptomatic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis showed to reduce symptomatic knee pain in patients with RA 24 hours and 4 months post treatment(315). According to Dr. Wang C and the research team at the Tufts Medical Center and Tufts University School of Medicine, acupuncture showed to decrease pain, significant reduced morning stiffness and inflammatory markers in comparison to controls in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(316).In a total of 80 eligible patients, 36 patients with mean age of 58 study, electroacupuncture (EA) and traditional Chinese acupuncture (TCA) significantly reduced tender joints and improved physician's and patients global score but large scale trial are recommended in orderto clarify the existing evidence base on acupuncture for RA.(317).
In the discuss of the imbalance between T-helper 17 (Th17) cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells induced rheumatoid arthritis, use of electroacupuncture (EA) not only restores the balance of Th17/Treg cell but also expresses its anti-inflammatory effects through educed paw volumes, arthritis scores and inflammation scores(319) in collagen-induced arthritis (autoimmune disease ) rats(320).
In fact, poor quality of studies and conflicting evidence exists in placebo-controlled trials, in some cases are also found to accompany with certain inconsistency of its efficacy(318).

The smoothie for prevention and treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
1 cup sweet potato1/2 cup peanut
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea, a slice of ginger and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and let cool 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.
3. Serve immediately
The finding of a natural source for treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases is a condition of microbial infection spread by sex,particular vaginal intercourse, anal sex and oral sex.
Sinecatechins, a green tea extract, inhibited human papillomavirus (HPV) in human disease including external genital and perianal warts (EGW), with some HPV genotypes having oncogenic potentialgenes by modulates and downregulates genes involved in the pro-inflammatory response to HPV infection(2)
Dr. Rosen T said, "... the clinical implications of catechins for the treatment of external genital and perianal warts (EGWs) and other conditions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV)" and "... in the treatment of EGWs and other HPV-related conditions may be related to or associated with postulated or proven antiviral and immunostimulatory activity,.."(3).
Resveratrol, a phytochemical in the class of Stilbenoids, found abundantly in peanut may also display protective effect of microbial induced Sexually Transmitted Diseases. According to the joint study led by the University Hospital of North Norway, the phytochemical exhibited anti vaginal inflammation and infections effects through its antioxidant activities(4).
According to Dr. Singh G and Dr. Pai RS. said, " resveratrol a therapeutically potent drug. Providing a relatively pithy overview, this paper thus presents recent advances ofresveratrol for the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS"(5).
In herpes simplex virus vaginal infection, according to the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine, application of 19% resveratrol did significantly limit vaginal HSV-1 replication and reduced extravaginal lesion formation(6).
The combination of Sweet Potato, Peanut and Green Tea may hold a key in further studies in production of an effective natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of Mouth (Oral) cancer without inducing adverse effects.
People who are at higher risk of Sexually Transmitted Diseases due to sexual active, weaken immunity.......should take at least one serving daily. People with Sexually Transmitted Diseases should drink as much as they can depending to the digestive toleration.

Respiratory Disease
Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions, affecting 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,.
Restrictive lung diseases or restrictive ventilatory defects
Restrictive lung disease is a condition marked most obviously by a reduction in total lung capacity. A restrictive ventilatory defect may be caused by a pulmonary deficit, such as pulmonary fibrosis (abnormally stiff, non-compliant lungs), or by non-pulmonary deficits, including respiratory muscle weakness, paralysis, and deformity or rigidity of the chest wall(1).
The Diagnosis
If you are experience some of the above symptoms and if your doctor suspects that you have restrictive lung function, after recording your family history and completing the physical exam, the test which your doctor orders include
1. Chest CT scan and echocardiography
In the study to examine the frequency and spectrum of diseases associated with isolated reduction in the diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (D(Lco)) of the 38,095 patients who underwent PFTs during the study period, 179 (0.47%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40%-0.54%) had isolated D(Lco) abnormalities. The 27 patients (15.1%; 95% CI, 10.2%-21.2%) who had also undergone chest CT and echocardiography within 1 month of PFTs form the study cohort reported herein. Their mean D(Lco) was 50% +/- 15% (95% CI, 45%-56%) with average normal pulse oxygen saturation at rest and mild hypoxemia with activity. Thirteen of the 27 patients (48%; 95% CI, 28.7%-68.1%) had underlying emphysema evident on CT. Eleven of these 13 patients had emphysema associated with a restrictive lung process. The 14 patients without emphysema had interstitial lung disease, pulmonary vascular disease, and other isolated findings(18).
2. Utility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing
Restrictive lung disease occurs commonly in patients with neuromuscular disease.Exercise testing is mandatory because pulmonary function tests at rest are not reliable for the diagnostic evaluation and functional characterisation of these patients. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) with measurement of gas exchange is the favoured tool. It is an excellent method to investigate exercise dyspnea, describe altered physiological response to exercise and characterise the involved organ systems heart, lung and muscle(19).
3. FEV1/FVC ratio test
The aim of the test is to analyze the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC). In patients with restrictive lung disease, ratio is higher than 80% as the decline in FVC is more than that of FEV1. In the study use of clinical and spirometry findings in order to distinguish between the restrictive and nonspecific patterns of pulmonary function test results in patients with low FVC and a normal or elevated FEV1/FVC ratio, showed that the most common causes of a nonspecific pattern were obstructive disorders, congestive heart failure, obesity, bronchiolitis, interstitial diseases, and neuromuscular disorders. In patients given a working diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis, pleural disease, or chest wall disease, the positive predictive value (PPV) for restriction was >or= 90%. In males, an FVC <or= 60% of predicted had a PPV for restriction of 98.8%. In females, the restrictive pattern was found in 84.4% of those with an FVC <or= 50% of predicted. A difference of >or= 0% between the FEV1% and the FVC% had a PPV for restriction of 89.5%. After performing logistic regression, we developed a point scale for predicting the restrictive pattern(20).
4. Spirometry
Spirometry measures the flow and volume of air entering and leaving the lungs. It is used to assess ventilatory function and differentiates between normality and diseases causing obstructive and possibly restrictive defects(21).

Some articles have been used as references in medical research, such as international journal Pharma and Bio science, ISSN 0975-6299.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).
Types of Musculo-Skeletal disorders in elder(2)
1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis
6. Osteoporosis
7. Low back pain
8. Fibromyalgia
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).
The Treatment
B. Treatment in herbal and traditional Chinese medicine
B.7. Other essential alternative medicine treatment
Beside suggesting certain herbal medicine for treatment of osteoarthritis, modern herbal and TCM medicine doctors may also combine other natural treatment for alleviating symptoms of the disease1. Ice or Heat Therapies
1.1. Ice therapy
Ice therapy, using the techniques of compression and elevation basic principles for treatment of acute soft tissue injury, if applied correctly with repeated application of 10 minutes for avoiding side effects, and preventing possible further injury(306). According to Dr. van den Bekerom MP and the research team at the Orthopaedic Research Center Amsterdam, treatment of pain, swelling, ankle mobility or range of motion, must be made on an individual basis, carefully weighing the relative benefits and risks of each option, and must be based on expert opinions and national guidelines(307).
Unfortunately, according to the study of University of Ottawa, thermotherapy, including hot and ice packs application is found a significant effects on arthritic hands of patient with rheumatoid arthritis and most studies(308).
1.2. Heat therapy
Heat therapy, is another form of thermotherapy with the use of heat in therapy for pain relief by alternative rehabilitation specialists. The review of studied that met the criteria of 328 subjects, by the University of Ottawa, superficial moist heat is found effective for relieved joint swelling, pain, reduced medication intake, improved range of motion (ROM), grip strength, hand function but limited by methodological considerations such as the poor quality of trials(309). In support of the above, the research team lead by Dr. found that in 17 with symmetrical rheumatoid arthritis (RA) applied heat to 1 hand twice daily for 2 years, heat therapy improve joint swelling, joint tenderness and grip strength with daily heat therapy did not accelerate the proliferative lesion in RA(310).
In regard of thermotherapy used of heat and cold treatment, Dr. Oosterveld FG and Dr. Rasker JJ said,s" In general, locally applied heat increases and locally applied cold decreases the temperature of the skin, superficial and deeper tissues, and joint cavity. Most studies dealing with the effects of heat and cold on pain, joint stiffness, grip strength, and joint function in inflamed joints report beneficial effects" and " In vitro studies show that higher temperatures increase the breakdown of articular cartilage and tissues that contain collagen".(311)
And according to the traditional Chinese medicine, correlation between cold and hot pattern are related to different pathways, and the network of that might be used for identifying the pattern and classification in other diseases including subsets of RA(312).
