Herbal Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), a Natural Anti-Colitis Remedy

By Kyle J. Norton

Colitis is medical a condition characterized by the inflammation of the large intestine, including the colon, caecum, and rectum.

Depending on the causes, colitis can be classified into microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, segmental colitis associated with diverticula, radiation colitis, diversion colitis, eosinophilic colitis, and Behcet's colitis, particularly in those associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis (UC).

* Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the inflammation of chronic inflammation of digestive tract associated with symptoms of severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss.

* Microscopic colitis is a disease involved in the inflammation of the colon or large intestine, associated with symptoms of watery diarrhea and cramping. Microscopic colitis is much less severe than other types of inflammatory bowel disease.

* Ischemic colitis is an inflammation of the large intestine caused by the injury-induced inadequate blood supply to the colon, leading to pain on the left side of the abdomen.

* Segmental colitis associated with diverticula is an inflammation that affects colonic luminal mucosa in segments due to diverticulosis, causing symptoms of bloody stools, sometimes accompanied by abdominal pain, cramping discomfort, or diarrhea.

* Radiation colitis is an inflammation of the large intestines in patients with radiation therapy, leading to symptoms of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps.

* Diversion colitis is an inflammation of the large intestines as a complication of ileostomy or colostomy. Most cases of diversion colitis often occur within the year following the surgery.

* Eosinophilic colitis is a rare disease associated with a type of white blood cell, due to injury and inflammation to the large intestine.

* Behcet's colitis is chronic immune-mediated, inflammatory disorder that only affect the intestines but also the joints, skin, eyes, and biliary tracts

Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver, and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases, scientists examined the taraxacum officinale extract (TOE) effects on colitis.

According to the results of DSS-induced colitis treated with different concentrations of TOE for 8 days, TOE showed significant activity in the attenuation of the clinical symptoms, by lowering the inflammatory scoring and inhibiting the levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6.

In other words, the efficacy of TOE in the treatment of colitis was associated with the activity in the induction of fatty acid degradation through the increased of the expression levels of Adh5, Aldh3a2, and Acox in breaking down fat and decreased the levels of CCL20, CCR6, and CXCL1 in cytokine-receptor signaling.

Additionally, TEO also enhanced the levels of S24-7 and adlercreutzia but decreased the number of anerostipes, Enterococcus, Enterobacteriaceae and peptostreptococcaceae to promote microbial imbalance or maladaptation

Based on the findings, researchers said, "TOE ameliorated DSS-induced colitis by regulating fatty acid degradation and microbial dysbiosis".

Taken altogether, dandelion may be considered a remedy for the protection against colitis, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Antioxidant Alliin Isolated From Garlic May Processes Immunomodulatory Effects

By Kyle J. Norton

The immunomodulatory effect is an action in which the immune function is modulated to the needs of the body.

The immune system included the thymus and bone marrow, as well as secondary lymphatic tissues including the spleen, tonsils, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, adenoids, skin, and liver, which is the body's defense against infectious organisms and foreign invaders.

In the acute phase of infection, the immune macrophages, the first line of defense stimulate the production of a blood palette to cover the wound or injury and pro-inflammatory cytokines to the site of infection to kill off pathogens before they can enter the body to multiply.

Most cases of infection are stopped at the acute phase, depending on the size and penetration of the wound.

However, if the immune system for whatever reason such as in people with a weakened immune system can not destroy the foreign invaders in the set period of time (3-8 weeks), it will adapt to the new change, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation.

Low-grade inflammation over time has been found to destroy cells and tissues in the affected area or organ, inducing chronic inflammatory disease, including diabetes, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease.

Out of many low-grade inflammatory risk factors, some researchers suggested that an unhealthy diet may be one of the major culprits involved in facilitating the onset of the diseases.

Dr. Casas R, Sacanella E, the lead scientist wrote, "Dietary patterns high in refined starches, sugar, and saturated and trans-fatty acids, poor in natural antioxidants and fiber from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and poor in omega-3 fatty acids may cause an activation of the innate immune system, most likely by excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines associated with a reduced production of anti-inflammatory cytokines".

In other words, if you follow the diet pattern of a high-fat diet, you are at a higher risk of low-grade inflammatory disease, compared to those who follow the diet pattern of the Mediterranean diet.

Alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine-S-oxide) is a phytochemical compound sulfoxide,. a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, belongings to the class of sulfur compounds, found abundantly in fresh garlic and onion.

With an aim to find a natural ingredient with immunomodulatory activity, researchers examined the effect of the garlic derivative alliin, on mitogen-induced peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation and cytokine production in vitro.


Before being treated with garlic derivative alliin, pokeweed mitogen (PWM) injection induced cell proliferation, production of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1beta and TNF-alpha.

Furthermore, the pokeweed mitogen (PWM) treated group also showed reduced levels of both percentage of phagocyting cells and the number of latex particles associated with the immune functions of phagocytosis.

Administration of garlic derivative alliin not only decreased the production of proinflammatory cytokines induced by pokeweed mitogen (PWM) but also improved the levels of antioxidant enzymes.


In other words, alliin exerted an immunomodulatory effect on the peripheral blood cells in vitro.


In order to reveal more information of alliin effect on the immune system, researchers investigated whether different plant-derived components with similar anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory function such as quercetin and alliin in traditional Asian diet consumed in an alternate style cooperatively affect health including the growth of host and the status of the gut microbiota and colonic epithelial immunity.

Compared to the traditional Asian diet significantly increased the rat body weight and reshaped the gut microbiota composition by significantly increasing the relative abundance of fecal Firmicutes and Cyanobacteria but decreased that of Bacteroidetes (P < 0.05) and increased the relative abundance of Candidatus Arthromitus, Lactococcus, Geobacillus, and Ruminococcus at the genus level that benefits the host's health, the consumption of quercetin and alliin also altered 13 genes expression involved in the KEGG pathways of complement and coagulation cascades and hematopoietic cell lineage to improve the gut immunity.

In other words, the alternate consumption of quercetin and alliin can contribute beneficial metabolic effects by optimizing gut microbiota and altering the immunologic function of colonic epithelial cells.

Taken altogether, alliin may be considered supplements for the immune-modulatory activity depending on the body needs, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of alliin in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Beta-Sitosterol Protects the Liver Against Liver Toxicity

By Kyle J. Norton

The liver is the largest internal organ found in the human which plays an essential role in filtering the blood from the digestive system before passing them to other parts of the body.

The liver also produces cholesterol, a waxy substance which aids digestion, builds cell membranes, and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.

If the liver was damaged due to toxicity, the blood will be toxic, affecting the function of all organs and tissues in the body.

Epidemiological studies suggested liver dysfunction can also induce acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease, linked to increased mortality, extending to those with chronic liver disease.

Liver disease is a class of medical conditions characterized by reducing partly or completely the function of the liver, including liver failure.

Hepatotoxicity is a condition caused by the accumulation of toxins in the liver, leading to liver dysfunction or reduced liver function.

Acute liver toxicity is caused by short-term exposure to toxic chemicals such as an overdose of medication.

Chronic liver toxicity is due to long-term exposure to toxic substances including excessive alcohol drinking and long-term use of certain medicines.

There are many causes associated with liver toxicity including chemical toxins, which normally induce acute liver toxicity, such as those used in laboratories and industries, natural chemicals, and long-term use of certain medication.

The most common signs and symptoms of liver toxicity include jaundice, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal discomforts, fatigue, Stomach pain. Nausea (upset stomach) Unusual tiredness. dark-colored urine, and pale-colored bowel movements.

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of phytosterols, belongings to the group of lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases, researchers examined the pharmacological efficacy of the seed extracts, constituents of the seeds including unsaturated fatty acids linolenic and linoleic acids, and the sterol beta-sitosterol in the 70% EtOH and the MeOH extracts.

According to the chemical analysis, in rat experiment, the seed extracts orally administered attenuated the dimethylnitrosamine-induced hepatopathy, and blood L-aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and L-alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, liver retinoid level, and hydroxyproline level.

From the liver perspective, the extracts decreased the levels of AST, ALT, and hydroxyproline levels involved in liver oxidative stress and the rate of liver fibrosis rates.

Hepatopathic rats treated with 70% EtOH and MeOH extracts of the seed showed a higher retinoid level compared to water-treated control rats.

Based on the findings researchers suggested, " the positive effect on liver function of the extracts varies depending on the extracting solvent used. 70% EtOH and MeOH extract of the seeds inhibited the development of liver fibrosis in hepatopathy rats, thus exhibiting potent improvement".

And, " The unsaturated linolenic and linoleic acids and the sterol beta-sitosterol contained in these extracts may also contribute to the improvement of liver function".

Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention of liver toxicity pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of beta-Sitosterol in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), the Hepatoprotective Functional Herb

By Kyle J. Norton

The liver is the largest internal organ located in the upper right portion of the abdomen, beneath your diaphragm and above your stomach.

The liver not only plays a critical role to filter the blood coming from the intestine before passing them to other parts of the body but also protects our body against toxin by detoxifying chemicals and metabolizes drugs.

Furthermore, the liver produces bile that not only aids the digestive function in food absorption but also builds strong cell membranes, produces vitamin D and steroid hormone.

Additionally, the liver also inhibits oxidative stress by producing the antioxidant enzyme that counters the expression of free radicals in the body.

The hepatoprotective effect is the action of the prevention of the liver against liver damage or toxicity.

There is no single cause of liver diseases. Researchers suggested that virus such as hepatitis A, B, C, long-term excessive alcohol drinking and genetic mutation inherited from the parents is the major risk factors associated with the early onset of the diseases.

Some researchers suggested overweight and obesity and congenital diseases such as Hemochromatosis and Wilson’s disease also are the prevalent risk factors of liver damage and diseases.

Liver damage and disease can also be caused by long-term intake of certain medications, such as paracetamol and Illegal drugs such as cocaine.

Sadly, the mortality rate infected by viral hepatitis has increased by 63% from 890,000 in 1990 to 1.45 million in 2013, according to a review of data collected in 183 countries.

Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of liver injury, scientists examined the hepatoprotective activity of T. Officinale leaf extract against Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity.

According to the tested results, T. officinale decreased the thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance levels and prevent the decrease in sulfhydryl levels induced by 200 mg/kg APAP (p.o.).

Histopathological alterations, and increased levels of liver stress markers such as serum aspartate and alanine aminotransferases caused by APAP, were also inhibited by the application of T. Officinale at the doses of 0.1 and 0.5 mg/mL.

Moreover, T. Officinale extracts also enhanced the antioxidant and scavenger activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and nitric oxide radicals.

Collectively, researchers said, "hepatoprotective effect of T. Officinale against the toxicity induced by APAP. The possible mechanisms involved include its scavenger activities against ROS and reactive nitrogen species, which are attributed to the content of phenolic compounds in the extract".

Taken altogether, dandelion may be considered a remedy for the protection of the liver functioning, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Angelica Protects the Liver and Kidney Against Injury Caused by Inflammatory Stress

By Kyle J. Norton

Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system in the stimulation of the production of inflammatory cytokines with an aim to protect our body against infectious agents in the acute phase of bodily injury and tissue damage.

Inflammation cancer classified into
*Acute inflammation is a natural response of the immune system to protect the human body against harmful stimuli and pathogens.

Acute information is the first phase of injection. At this phase, after sensing the body injury by the central nerves system, the immune first line of defense stimulates the production of blood platelets to cover the site of damage and pro-inflammatory to kill off pathogens that try to enter the body through the wound or damaged tissue.

Acute inflammation usually receded after a few days or weeks depending on the size and damage. However, if all pathogens were not eradicated after 3 to 8 weeks, the immune system will compromise, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, a leading cause of chronic illness.

The most common symptoms of acute inflammation occurred with a short period of time such as hours is pain, redness, immobility, swelling, and heat.

The liver is the largest internal organ located in the upper right portion of the abdomen, beneath your diaphragm and above your stomach.

The liver not only plays a critical role to filter the blood coming from the intestine before passing them to other parts of the body but also protects our body against toxin by detoxifying chemicals and metabolizes drugs.

On the other hand, the kidneys are a pair of kidney-shaped organs located on either side of your spine with a function to filter out the wastes from the blood before passing the wastes through urinary secretion.

More than a detoxed organ, the kidneys also maintain the body fluid balance, regulate the production of red blood cells and high blood pressure.

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 potential compound for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with inflammatory injury, researchers examined the effects of Angelica Sinensis on its effects on liver and kidney injury in an animal model.

The study included mice that were subjected to hypodermic injection with D-gal (200 mg/kg) and orally gavaged with AS (20, 40, or 80 mg/kg) once a day for 8 successive weeks.

According to the tested analysis, AS significantly showed a strong improvement in the liver and kidney function, assessed by organ index and functional parameters.

Furthermore, AS pretreatment effectively ameliorated the histological deterioration caused by the injection of D-gal.

Moreover, the application of AS  attenuated the MDA stress marker levels in the kidney and liver by enhancing the activities and gene expressions of antioxidative enzymes produced by the host.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with kidney and liver toxicity caused by the injection of D-gal-mediated such as iNOS, COX-2, IκBα, p-IκBα, and p65 were also attenuated by the AS, accompanied by the promoting of a protein involved in the regulation of proinflammatory expression in both hepatic and renal tissues.

Based on the results, researchers said, "AS pretreatment could effectively guard the liver and kidney of mice against D-gal-induced injury, and the underlying mechanism was deemed to be intimately related to attenuating oxidative response and inflammatory stress".

Taken altogether, herbal Angelica may be considered a remedy, for the protection of the liver and kidney against inflammatory stress. pending to larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Bilberry, The Herbal Medicine for Reducing Risk and Treatment of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), Scientists Say

By Kyle J. Norton

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a type of noninflammatory fatty liver disease caused by fat accumulated in the liver other than excessive alcohol consumption.

People who have an accumulation of triglycerides within hepatocytes that exceeds 5% of liver weight are considered to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

According to the statistics, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has risen rapidly over the past few decades and become the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the developing world. The disease affects between 17-30% of the population in Western countries and 2-4% worldwide.

Epidemiologically. obesity, type II diabetes, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance are the well-known primary causes of NAFLD.

The findings strongly suggested that NAFLD is a geographically related disease associated with dietary patterns.

Dr. Alanna McCarthy, the lead scientist in the examination of diet patterns in the risk NAFLD wrote, "Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious consequence of high-fat diet intake and currently affects approximately one-third of the world’s entire population".

And, "Recent evidence suggests that patients with NAFLD have a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease compared to the general population. However, little is known about the link between NAFLD and pathological cardiac remodeling leading to heart disease".

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 herb 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.

With an aim to find natural prevention and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), researchers investigated the effects of anthocyanin supplementation on insulin resistance and liver injury biomarkers in patients.

74 subjects with NAFLD included in the study were divided into 2 groups in this double-blind, randomized study. Patients received either purified anthocyanin (320 mg/d) derived from bilberry and black currant or a placebo for 12 weeks.

During the experiment, the anthocyanin group exhibited significantly decreased in plasma alanine aminotransferase, cytokeratin-18 M30 fragment, and myeloperoxidase, the biomarkers associated with NAFLD, compared to controls.

Compared to the baseline, the anthocyanin group significantly decreased in fasting blood glucose and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, however, these differences were not significant relative to placebo controls.

Not surprisingly, anthocyanin supplementation significantly decreased the 2-hour loading glucose level compared to control, according to the oral glucose tolerance test.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "A 12-week supplement of purified anthocyanin improved insulin resistance, indicators of liver injury, and clinical evolution in NAFLD patients".

Furthermore, according to the results from the study of ApoE(∗)3Leiden mice fed a Western-type cholesterol-containing diet without (HC) or with 0.1% (w/w) Mirtoselect (HCM), an anthocyanin-rich bilberry extract for 20weeks on diet-induced NASH, Mirtoselect treatment group showed an attenuated HC-induced hepatic steatosis and reduced hepatic cholesteryl ester content.

Furthermore, injection of Mirtoselect also exerted local anti-inflammatory effects in the liver by reduced inflammatory cell clusters and neutrophil infiltration in HCM.

In other words, HCM protected the liver against HC diet significantly induced hepatic expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic genes associated with the onset of NAFLD.

Dr. Morrison MC, the lead scientist, after taking other factors into account wrote, "Mirtoselect attenuates the development of NASH, reducing hepatic lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis, possibly mediated by local anti-inflammatory effects associated with reduced accumulation and crystallization of intrahepatic free cholesterol".

Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compound anthocyanin may be considered a functioning remedy for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, pending the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Navy Bean Reduces the Risk of Colorectal Cancer, Researchers show

By Kyle J. Norton

Colorectum is the digestive organ containing the colon and the rectum.

The colon-formed part of the large intestine plays a critical role in re-absorbing fluids and processing waste products from the body for elimination.

The colon consists of four parts: descending colon, ascending colon, transverse colon, and sigmoid colon

The rectum or the part of the large intestine nearest the rectum plays a temporary storehouse for feces.

Colorectal cancer is a chronic condition characterized by abnormal proliferation of cells in the colon, rectum, or vermiform appendix.

Colorectal cancer is a relatively very common and slowly growing cancer in the US. colorectal cancer has also been found to progress in a predictable way.
The disease is more common in people over the age of 50. Regular colonoscopy after age of 50 is valuable to detect the disease in the early stage, thereby increasing the rate of survival.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer, including cancer in the colon or rectum is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women combined in the United States.

Approximately, in 100 cases of colorectal cancer, 71% of cases arise in the colon compared to 29% in the rectum.


The most common types of colorectal cancer classified depending on the primary originated cells are
* Adenocarcinomas
Most bowel cancers are adenocarcinomas, originating in epithelium tissues, including the surface layer of skin, glands, and their tissues that line the cavities and organs of the body.

* Squamous cell cancers
Squamous cells are the skin-like cells that make up the bowel lining together with the gland cells. Squamous cell cancers are rare with the risk of 25 per 100000 population.


The small, white navy bean, also called pea bean or haricot, popular in both dry and green forms, is very popular in Britain and the US, native to Peru. It is now grown and consumed across the world, due to its numerous health benefits.

On finding a potential compound for the prevention and treatment of cancer, researchers examined the effects of consumption of navy beans (NB) and rice bran (RB) on CRC survivors' serum inflammatory biomarkers and telomere lengths.

The study included 29 subjects who completed a randomized controlled trial with foods that included cooked NB powder (35 g/day), heat-stabilized RB (30 g/day), or no additional ingredient.

According to the tested analysis,* NB or RB consumed equated to 4-9% of subjects' daily caloric intake. Increased consumption of NB or RB showed no effects on major gastrointestinal issues.

* Furthermore, NB or RB consumed increased dietary fiber amounts at Weeks 2 and 4 compared to baseline and to control.

* NB or RB consumed also increased the telomere length correlated with age and HDL cholesterol compared to baseline, accompanied by improving serum amyloid A (SAA) levels at Week 4.

Additionally, in CRC chemoprevention, in the study of the effects of eating SRB (30 g/day) or cooked navy bean powder (35 g/day) on gut microbiota and metabolites on colorectal cancer survivors, Dr. the lead scientist found that SRB or NBP showed increased gut bacterial diversity and altered gut microbial composition at 28 days associated with CRC prevention.

Collectively, these results strongly suggested that NB or RB consumption improves the parameters associated with CRC chemoprevention.

Taken altogether, the fermented navy bean may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cayenne Pepper in Reducing the Risk of Metabolic Dysregulation

By Kyle J. Norton

Cayenne pepper may be the next herbal medicine in reduced risk and treatment of metabolic dysregulation, a recent study suggested

Cayenne is also known as Cayenne Pepper, a red, hot chili pepper, belonging to Capsicum Annuum, the family Solanaceae, native to subtropical and tropical regions. It has been used in traditional medicine to increase metabolism, enhance the circulatory system and stomach and the intestinal tract, adjust blood pressure, lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, treat frostbite, muscles, arthritis, rheumatism, low back pain, strains, sprains, bruises, and neuralgia, etc.

Metabolic dysregulation refers to abnormal function of the body in regulation of glucose tolerance, fasting glucose, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia,...., leading to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease.

Capsaicin, the major chemical compound used in dietary supplements attenuated metabolic dysregulation in genetically obese diabetic mice by enhancing expression of modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism involving its receptors.

In obesity-induced inflammation and the development of obesity-related metabolic disorders, cayenne capsaicin suppressed inflammatory responses in inducing glucose intolerance and enhancing fatty acid oxidation in fat tissues, affecting insulin resistance.

The chemical compound involvement in reduced visceral adipose fat, also lowered serum levels of fasting glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides, probably through limited fat accumulation in adipose tissues and reduced inflammation, and increased insulin sensitivity.

Dr. Leung FW. said," Clinical evidence supports the role of capsaicin as an anti-obesity agent. Both oral and gastrointestinal exposure to capsaicin increase satiety and reduce energy and fat intake and reduction in visceral abdominal fat" and "Thermogenesis and lipid metabolism-related proteins are altered upon capsaicin treatment in white adipose tissue".

Intake of cayenne for weight loss treatment-induced reduction in visceral abdominal fat may also improve metabolic regulation. Quality of doses should only be given by specialists to prevent toxicity.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) Processes Diuretic Property

By Kyle J. Norton

The diuretic effect is the activity of substances that promote urinary secretion.

Diuretics medicines are used for the treatment of water retention or edema by removing fluids from the body.

Water retention or edema is a condition of excess fluids that build up inside your body, including the circulatory system or within tissues and cavities. 

Edema can cause swelling in the hands, feet, ankles, and legs.

Many diuretics medicine can interfere with the functioning kidney in the regulation of the levels of water in the body, leading to worsening kidney function and abnormal electrolyte levels.

Certain medications that treat conditions of high blood pressure, glaucoma, and edema can damage kidney function by overworking the kidney in water release.

Dr. Yusra Habib Khan, the lead author in the study "Chronic Kidney Disease, Fluid Overload and Diuretics: A Complicated Triangle" said, "The use of diuretics was associated with adverse renal outcomes indicated by a decline in eGFR (Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of the function of the kidneys) and increased risk of (renal replacement therapy) RRT initiation in our cohort of NDD-CKD patients".

Therefore, the intake of medicine that has a negative effect on kidney function and diuretics medicine should be taken with extreme care.

Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver, and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a natural ingredient for the improvement of edema, scientists examined the dandelion diuretic effect in 17 individuals.

Participants who entered the study have a volume of urinary output and fluid intake recorded that were established 2 days prior to dandelion dosing (8 mL TID) and monitored throughout a 1-day dosing period and 24 hours postdosing.

According to the records returned by the participants, all populations showed a significant increase in the frequency of urination in the 5-hour period after the first dose.

Furthermore, a significant increase in the excretion ratio in the 5-hour period after the second dose of the extract was also reported by the participants.

However, there was no change in the measured parameters at the third dose.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "T. Officinale ethanolic extract shows promise as a diuretic in humans. Further studies are needed to establish the value of this herb for the induction of diuresis in human subjects".

Taken altogether, dandelion may be considered a diuretic remedy, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthyfood Cranberry Prevents and Reduces the Risk of Colitis, Scientists Say

By Kyle J. Norton


Colitis is a medical condition characterized by the inflammation of the large intestine, including the colon, caecum, and rectum.

Most cases of colitis are caused by infection, such as bacteria like C. difficile, viruses, and parasites, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC).

However, according to the study by the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, depending on the causes, colitis can be classified into microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, segmental colitis associated with diverticula, radiation colitis, diversion colitis, eosinophilic colitis, and Behcet's colitis.

The most common symptoms of colitis are abdominal pain and diarrhea, bleeding per rectum, distention with bloody diarrhea, abdominal bloating and flatulence, and changes in bowel habits.

In severe cases, patients may also experience symptoms of elevated liver enzymes, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, severe peripheral arthralgias, and chronic watery diarrhea.

Believe it or not, 55 percent of patients stated that UC symptoms over the past year had affected their quality of life, while physicians and nurses estimated that 35% to 37% of patients would have a reduced quality of life.

Conventionally, treatments of colitis are total depending on the type and severity of the condition. For example, in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Self-care at home through home Telemanagement, Web-guided therapy, and pain management are the most common approach accompanied by biological therapy, if necessary.

Some researchers suggested, the promotion of the Western diet over the past few decades may be the leading cause of colitis in patients with IBD.

Dr. Jimmy K. Limdi wrote, "The parallelism between “westernization” and particularly high dietary intakes of total fat (particularly animal fats, ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), milk fats), refined sugars, meat and lower intakes of fruit and vegetables, implicates diet in the great risk of developing IBD".

And, "Diet may influence intestinal inflammation through several biologically plausible mechanisms including dietary antigen presentation, alterations in the gut microbiome, the mucosal immune system and epithelial barrier function among others".

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 is cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine for the treatment of wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of IBD, researchers examined the effects of cranberry products on preventing dextran sulfate sodium-induced murine colitis.

According to the tested differentiation, both cranberry extract and dried cranberries-fed groups had significant activity against the disease index.

However, dried cranberries were more effective in preventing colitis compared to cranberry extract.

Moreover, both cranberry applications also showed a significant effect on preventing the shortening of colon length.

Biomarkers associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as colonic myeloperoxidase activity were attenuated in animals fed dried cranberries compared to the controls.

Additionally, dried cranberries also inhibited much better results against the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines caused by the injection of dextran sulfate sodium, compared to the controls.

Based on the findings, researchers wrote, "The current report suggests that cranberries can be applied to prevent and reduce the symptoms of IBD".

Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of colitis in IBD patients, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) Processes Anti-Inflammatory Activity

By Kyle J. Norton

Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system in which the white blood cells of the first line of defense try to protect the body by destroying the foreign pathogens which try to enter the body through wound or tissue damage.

Inflammatory cytokines induce the Inflammatory processes in the body, triggered by the body's own immune system.

During the acute phase of infection, overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines may cause damage to nearby healthy cells, leading to the formation of scars.

Most cases of infection are stopped at the acute phase of infection as the immune system successfully kills off all invaders in a brief battle.

Some researchers suggested the immune system has evolved to protect our body over thousands of years with an aim to kill off all pathogens within a period in the range of 3 to 8 weeks. Otherwise, it will adapt to the new change, leading to chronic inflammation.

In other words, chronic inflammation happens when the immune response lingers, causing low-grade inflammation. Chronic inflammation over time may damage the body tissues and organs.

In some cases, the infection may be latent in which the pathogen remains within the body for a long time without producing any symptoms, such as the hepatitis virus.

Diseases associated with chronic inflammation include cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.

Anti-inflammatory activity is the use of a substance or treatment for the treatment of od inflammation or swelling.

Anti-inflammatory protein in the body displays anti-inflammatory properties against the risk of autoimmune diseases and immune pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or organ rejection.

Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver, and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a natural ingredient for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, scientists examined the anti-inflammatory activity of taraxacum officinale (TO) filtered methanol extracts in LPS-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

According to the results from the assays on HUVECs pretreated with 100 μg/ml TO for 1 h and then incubated with 1 μg/ml LPS for 24 h, TO filtered methanol extracts dramatically inhibited LPS-induced endothelial cell-monocyte interactions by reducing vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 associated with cellular inflammation found in various immunological disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, transplant rejection.

Furthermore, TO filtered methanol extracts also inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory proteins found in inflammatory subjects.

In other words, TO suppressed the LPS-induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB, without affecting the pro-inflammatory cytokine MAPK activation.

Based on the results, researchers said, "Our findings demonstrated that methanol extracts of TO could attenuate LPS-induced endothelial cell activation by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway. These results indicate the potential clinical benefits and applications of TO for the prevention of vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis".

Taken altogether, dandelion may be considered a remedy for the treatment of diseases associated with chronic inflammatory diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
