Phytochemical Indole-3-carbinol and Breast cancer

By Kyle J. Norton

Indole-3-carbinol is a phytochemical in the class of Indoles, by the breaking down of the glucosinolate glucobrassicin,  found abundantly in cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, rutabaga, mustard greens, broccoli, etc.

Breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) is a cancer started in the tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk. There is also rare cases that breast cancer starts in other areas of the breast. In 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S. alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during life time of a women is 1/8.

Indole-3-carbinol may act as NAG-1 modulators involved in natural products-induced NAG-1 transcriptional signaling pathway used in prevention and treatment of cancer(1). According to the University of Urbino "Carlo Bo",, The indole-3-carbinol cyclic tetrameric derivative (CTet) inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation by endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy-related cell death induction, AKT(2). In human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, the derivative also enhances ER stress response, as the main upstream molecular mechanism through which CTet acts in both hormone-responsive and triple-negative breast cancer cells(3). In support to the above, the study of University of Urbino Carlo Bo, Urbino (PU),  showed that the derivative may also be a potential anticancer combination agent for both hormone-responsive and triple-negative breast tumors(4).

Herbal therapy: Chaste tree berry (Vitex agnus-castus) and Propionibacterium acne

By Kyle J. Norton

Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region. It has been used in herbal medicine for thousands of year as anaphrodisiac herb and is considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts by taking it in a prolonged period of time. There was report that reports chaste tree berry stems and leaves used by women as bedding "to cool the heat of lust" during the time of the Thesmophoria,

Chemical constituents
1.  β-citronellol
2. Labdane-type diterpenoids,
3. Halimane-type diterpenoid,
4. Oleanane-type triterpenoids,
5. Ursane-type triterpenoids,
6. Sesquiterpenoid,
7.  Flavonoid
8. Viteagnusins C, D, E, F, G, and H
9. Abietane-type diterpenoids

Propionibacterium acne is a type of acne due to infection of  aerotolerant anaerobic, Gram-positive bacterium (rod) or as a result of chronic blepharitis and endophthalmitis.
Vitex agnus-castus has long been used for treatment of hormonally induced acne in herbal medicine(1) with mild or no adverse side effect(2). Vitex negundo, a five-leaved chaste tree extract, according to the study by the The Institute of Science, India,  showed a significant inhibition of lipase activity and number of P. acne(3).

Melon lime smoothie For Melon lovers


Recipe contributed by Raw, Quick and delicious! 5 ingredient recipes in just 15 minutes by Douglas McNish, Published by Robert Rose. You can visit them at www.robertrose.ca

Juicy melon, fresh lime juice and tropical coconut oil make this a sweet, refreshing --and nutritious - smoothie for warm summer days.
Tips;
Coconut oil is solid at room temperature. It has a melting temperature of 76 degree F (24 degree C), so it is easy to liquefy. To melt it, place in a shallow glass bowl over a pot od simmering water.
To boost the protein content of your smoothie, try adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder -- I prefer hemp or sprouted brown rice protein. Both are available in natural foods store and well-stocked supermarket. Not all are raw, though, so be sure to read the labels.
1 cup Nut milk  250mL
1/2 cup chopped honeydew 125mL
3tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice  45mL
2tbsp. melted coconut oil 30mL
1/4tsp. raw vanilla extract
In a blender combine nut milk, melon, lime juice, coconut oil and vanilla. Blend at high speed until smooth. Serve immediately. Make 2 cups (500mL)
Variation: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie. add 1 to 2 tbsp. (15 - 30mL) raw agave nectar to taste.
Substitute an equal amount of cantaloupe for the honeydew melon and 1tbsp. (15mL)coconut butter for coconut oil.
