The use of plants for healing purposes has been predated long before the existence of  modern medicine. Herbal plants have formed a fundamental source for conventional medicine in discovery of single ingredient medication, including aspirin (from willow bark), quinine (from cinchona bark), and morphine (from the opium poppy)......

Andrographis paniculata is also known as Andrographis is a herbaceous plant, genus Andrographis, belonging to the family Acanthaceae, native to India and Sri Lanka. It has been used in traditional Siddha and Ayurvedic in treating the common cold, flu, upper respiratory infections, infectious diseases, diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, pneumonia,....

A renowned institute study suggested that andrographolide, a major compound isolated from andrographis may consist a potentially therapeutic effects in reduced risk and controlling the progression of leukemia.

Leukemia is condition of abnormal increase of white blood cells produced by the bone marrow and/or the lymphatic system. Depending to the malignant granulocytes or lymphocytes, leukemia is classified into myelogenous or lymphoblastic leukemia.

According to the joint study lead by the Jining No 1 People's Hospital, andrographolide (Andro) showed to possess antitumor activities against T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) through induced cytotoxicity in tumor and cell apoptosis.

10 μg/mL Andro could significantly induce tumor cells' death, depending on the inhibition of PI3K/AKT pathway in regulating the cell cycle and increased expression of cancer cell apoptosis.

Flavonoid, chemical compounds isolated from the aerial parts of Andrographis paniculata also exhibited antiproliferative effects against human leukaemia HL-60 cells with with IC50 of 3.50 μM.

Furthermore, the study in the evaluation of the potential effect of andrographolide against three acute promyelocytic leukaemia cell line models (HL-60, NB4 and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-resistant NB4-R2,  andrographolide was 2- and 3-fold more active in inhibiting the growth of HL-60 and NB4-R2 cells compared with NB4 cells, through cell differentiating activity via a retinoic acid receptor-independent pathway.

In fact, according to Dr. Manikam SD, the lead researcher, andrographolide and its derivatives, apparently demonstrated a novel cell differentiating mechanism with ability to induce apoptosis.

There is no doubt that Andrographis with a novel mechanism of drug action may be a new candidated therapy for reduced risk and treatment of Leukemia, but large amount intake should be taken with care.

Food Therapy: Coffee and Coffee caffeine A Potent Depressive Beverage?

By Kyle J. Norton


In compared to herbal medicine, food therapy is one the best medicines to ease symptoms slowly, depending to stages of the treatment which directly address to the cause of disease, without inducing adverse effects

Epidemiological studies do not agreed that coffee and coffee caffeine have a positive effect in reduced depression, a review literature study suggested.

Coffee, second to green tea, is a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Depression is a normally neuro response as part of our daily lives such as the loss of s job, the death of a love one, and illness.
Over 30 million Americans suffer from depression and the amounts are increasing in an alarming rate.

According to the University of Naples Federico II, over 2 decades, many studies addressed the concerns of coffee intake may have a implication of incidence of depression, but several phytochemical studies indicated a different outcome as caffeine and certain major phyto constituents exhibited antidepressant effects through multiple molecular mechanisms.

Dr. Tenore GC, the lead researcher said, "coffee can be considered a drink which has different positive effects on human health such as cardioprotective, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, etc. However, heavy coffee consumption may be related to some unpleasant symptoms, mainly anxiety, headache, increased blood pressure, nausea, and restlessness".

Contrastively, caffeine in coffee showed a strongly inverse association in cases of postpartum depression and comorbid panic disorder.

Other researchers in the searching of the efficacy of coffee and risk of depression through data base from PubMed and PsychINFO insisted that although literature data are conflicting, caffeine found in coffee indicated a significant reduced effect on symptoms of clinical depression.

Additionally, in a cross-sectional study in 10,177 Korean individuals aged 20-97 years with prevalence of self-reported depression of 14.0% and that of self-reported clinical depression of 3.7%. participated in the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. to determine the effect of consumption of coffee and risk of depression, after adjusting to other factors, returned survey from patients, can be cataloged into the followings

For general depression
1. The relative odd ratio of patients drinking less than one cup/week was 0.84
2. The relative odd ratio of patients drinking one to six cups/week was 0.63
3. The relative odd ratio of patients drinking for one cup/day was 0.69
4. The relative odd ratio of patients drinking for two cups/day was 0.54
5. The relative odd ratio of patients drinking for three or more cups/day was .58

For clinical depression, similar observations also have been recorded
1. The relative odd ratio of patients drinking less than one cup/week was 1.00
2. The relative odd ratio of patients drinking one to six cups/week was 0.51
3. The relative odd ratio of patients drinking for one cup/day was 0.57
4. The relative odd ratio of patients drinking for two cups/day was 0.57
5. The relative odd ratio of patients drinking for three or more cups/day was 0.41

The findings although is not linearly, coffee and coffee caffeine intake expressed a protective effect in ameliorated risk of depression.

Taking together, there is no doubt that coffee and coffee caffeine intake daily and regularly have a profound effect in depression but further cohost large sample sized studies are necessary to find out other factors may contribute to either outcomes.

Food Therapy: Coffee and Coffee Caffeine in Reduced Risk of Breast Cancer Selectively

By Kyle J. Norton

In compared to herbal medicine, food therapy even takes longer to ease symptoms, depending to stages of the treatment which directly address to the cause of disease.

Recent studies suggested that coffee and coffee caffeine may have a potentially effect in reduced risk and treatment of breast cancer, selectively.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In the review of literature from database of PubMed with selection of 37 published articles, involving 59,018 breast cancer cases and 966,263 participants, suggested that
1. There are no significant association of coffee and coffee caffeine intake and breast cancer risk
2. Post menopause women drinking coffee daily and regularly have a reduced risk of breast cancer developing.
3. Women who are BRCA1 mutation carriers showed a positive risk of breast cancer from coffee intake

The study also indicated that for additional cup of coffee consumed risk of breast caner decrease by 2% and 1% for every 200mg/day increment in caffeine intake.

Contrastively, in a case-control analysis on 1,690 women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation from 40 centers in 4 countries.to determine coffee and coffee caffeine intake against the risk of breast cancer, returned self-administered questionnaire. showed a significant correlation of coffee intake in the elevated breast caner risk.

Women with breast cancer in BRCA carriers who habitually drank 0, 1-3, 4-5 and 6 or more cups of coffee showed a relative risk odd ratio of 1.00, 0.90, 0.75 and 0.31, respectively.

The finding evidences of relative odd ratio of suggested that risk of breast cancer was reduced in this group of women linearly to numbers of coffee and coffee caffeine consumed daily.

Dr, Jiang W, lead author said, " (According to the findings) women with BRCA gene mutation, coffee consumption is unlikely to be harmful and that high levels of consumption may in fact be related to reduced breast cancer risk"

Interesting, in the investigated the common A to C polymorphism in the CYP1A2 gene associated with decreased enzyme inducibility and impaired caffeine metabolism of caffeine to examine the risk of breast caner in BRCA1 mutation carriers of 411 BRCA1 mutation carriers (170 cases and 241 controls) researchers at the University of Toronto found that risk of breast cancer decrease significantly by 64% in BRCA1 mutation carriers with at least one C polymorphism in the CYP1A2 gene but not in CYP1A2 AA group in compared to women who never consumed coffee.

Collectively, coffee and coffee caffeine may only benefit to certain ages and genes expression but harmful to the others. Further cohost studies are necessary to clarify these controversies..

The use of plants for healing purposes has been predated long before the existence of  modern medicine. Herbal plants has formed a fundamental source for conventional medicine in discovery of single ingredient medication, including aspirin (from willow bark), quinine (from cinchona bark), and morphine (from the opium poppy)......

A study conducted by a respectable institution suggested that Chaste Tree Berry exhibited anticonvulsant activity in patients with seizures.

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 year as anaphrodisiac herb and considered as Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.

In a study using animal model of maximal electroshock seizures (MES) and induced seizures (MES) by administrated pentylenetetarazole (PTZ), intake of ethanolic leaf extract of Vitex-negundo, at doses of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg p.o, exerted a significant of postictal depression, an altered state of consciousness after an epileptic seizure in the dose of 1000 mg/kg body weight in comparison to control but no effects in other applications.

At doses of (1000 mg/kg, po), the ethanolic leaf extract exhibited a 50% half life protection in chronic seizures after 24-hour injection against PTZ induced seizures. Researchers also found that the efficacy of the extract at that doses is the result of valporic acid, a major ingredient found in Chaste tree berry.

Dr. Tandon VR and co author Dr. Gupta RK. of the study said, " The anticonvulsant activity of Vitex-negundo has not been found equi-effective with standard drugs".

Further more, because of the potentiation of diphenylhydantoin and valporic acid isolated Vitex-negundo displayed a significant effect in treating animal model, the extract may be used as an adjuvant therapy along with standard anticonvulsants.

Additionally, according to the Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, hydrophilic extract of Vitex agnus castus fruit (Vitex) administered doses (60, 120 or 180 mg/kg) showed a strong anti convulsant activity even at low dose (60 mg/kg) of Vitex by increasing the after discharge(AD) threshold and decrease the after discharge duration ( ADD) and and stage 5 duration (S5D).

Promisingly, at the highest does, the extract inhibited significantly seizure stage (P<0.01) and reduced or prevented epileptic activity as demonstrated by reduction of ADD and S5D (length of convulsion) in a dose dependent manner.

More importantly, methanolic extract (ME) of the leaves of V. negundo salso showed to process the  analgesic properties and potentiated analgesia demonstrated by morphine and pethidine in protection against strychnine and leptazole induced convulsions.

Taking together, Chaste Tree Berry may be one of next generation therapeutic herbal medicine consisted a strong effect for prevention and treatment of seizure as a result of abundant phytochemicals, but intake of large amount should taken with care to reduce risk of toxicity.

Food therapy: Coffee Reduced Risk of Melanoma, Particular in People with Altered GSTM1 and GSTT1 Gene

By Kyle J. Norton


In compared to herbal medicine, food therapy even takes longer to ease the symptoms, depending to stages of the treatment which directly address to the cause of disease.

Intake of coffee regularly may have positive effect in reduced risk of Melanoma, particular in healthy people with alternated genes GSTM1 and GSTT1 expression, a renowned institute study suggested.

Melanoma is a type of malignant skin cancer caused by DNA damage, most often caused by ultraviolet radiation from sunshine or tanning beds inducing irregular growth of skin cells.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

According to the Istituto Dermopatico dell'Immacolata, in compared to low coffee intake, high frequency of coffee drinking (>once daily) with ≤7 times weekly , showed a significant lower risk of melanoma.

Interestingly, in the group people with GSTM1 and GSTT1 null polymorphisms(altered gene expression) subjects, coffees showed an extreme high protective effect against forming of Melanoma.

Also in the searching of PubMed and EMBASE databases from the earliest available online indexing year to March 2017 for a dose-response meta-analysis on prospective cohort studies, researchers at the Jagiellonian University Medical College, insisted that linear dose dependent are associated to the development of melanoma risk and total coffee consumption.

Risk of melanoma is reduced by 3% for every cup of coffee intake per day.

Dr. Micek A, the lead author in the joint study said, "(According to) a total of seven studies eligible for meta-analysis were identified that comprised 1,418,779 participants and 9211 melanoma cases,......coffee intake may be inversely associated with incidence of melanoma".

Further in the demonstration of 2 case-control studies (846 MM patients and 843 controls) and five cohort studies (including 844,246 participants and 5,737 MM cases), in compared the lower and higher caffeine intake daily, caffeinated coffee showed a the pooled relative risk (RR) of 0.81.

Risk of additional cup of coffee caffeine consumption, relative odd ratio of risk of melanoma deceased by 0.955
Importantly, the study found no correlated and linear dose dependent of decaffeinate coffee and risk melanoma regardless to volume of daily intake in teasing subjects.

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that caffeine coffee have a significant effect in reduced risk of malanoma in healthy and altered GSTM1 and GSTT1 expression subjects in linearly dose-dependent 

manner.

Food Therapy: Coffee and Coffee caffeine, In Attenuated Risk of Ulcerative Colitis?

By Kyle J. Norton


In compared to herbal medicine, food therapy even takes longer to ease the symptoms, depending to stages of the treatment which directly address to the cause of disease.

Epidemiological studies do not agreed that intake of coffee and coffee caffeine regularly may have a profound effect in attenuated risk of ulcerative colitis.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease characterized by long-lasting inflammation and ulcers (sores) in the digestive tract.

In the reviewed study of a total of 442 patients 73% regularly consume coffee. 96% of patients attributing a positive and 91% of patients attributing no impact of coffee intake on IBD regularly drink coffee and surprisingly even 49% of those patients that assign a negative impact on disease symptoms, researchers at the University Hospital Zurich found that most patient with IBD showed a coffee drinking habit and addressed that coffee has helped modifying symptoms of the disease.

Other in the total of 81 UC patients recruited at all stages of the disease process, after completion of a 7 d diet diary, Caffeine and decaffeinated coffee showed a clinical significance in reduced risk of UC and may be considered a functional food included in potentially therapeutic diet.

Dr. Magee EA, the lead author said, " ......decaffeinated coffee was associated with a better clinical state than the caffeine containing version".

Contrastively, the investigation of a population-based, case-control study of the risk of ulcerative colitis associated with coffee and alcohol use among the 304,000 members of a prepaid health plan, coffee expressed no association with either amount of coffee consumed daily, or cumulative coffee consumption before disease onset and altered the risk of developing ulcerative colitis.

Taking altogether, the findings showed an inclusive result of the efficacy of coffee and coffee caffeine consumption in reduced risk of ulcerative colitis. Therefore more cohost with large sample size studies are necessary before coffee can be confirmed as a functional food for use in reduced onset and treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Food Therapy: Coffee and Coffee Caffeine in Improved Complexity of Cognitive Performance?

By Kyle J. Norton


In compared to herbal medicine, food therapy even takes longer to ease the symptoms, depending to stages of treatment which directly address to the cause of disease.

Epidemiological studies do not agreed that regular coffee consumption may associate to improve cognitive function, a joint study lead by the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais suggested.

Cognitive function is a cerebral activities in acquired knowledge, including all means and mechanisms of acquiring information.
Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In a cohort of 14,563  public service workers (35-74 years old) to examine the coffee consumption habits and cognitive function using standardized neuropsychological test, researchers at the above institutes filed the following results
1. Elderly drinking 2-3 cups/day, showed a significant improvement in the mean words remembered on learning, recall, and word recognition in compared to never/almost never groups.

2. And those drinking more than 3 cups a day exhibited an increased mean words pronounced, according to the semantic verbal fluency test in compared to the same groups.

Dr. Araújo LF, the lead author said, "coffee consumption might be slightly beneficial to memory in elderly but lacks a dose response relationship".

Further more, in 2,914 participants from the population-based Rotterdam Study (mean age: 59.3±7.2 years, 55% females) to assess coffee consumption, performed brain MRI, and cognition at baseline, researchers found that
1. Higher coffee consumption showed a lower prevalence of lacunar infarcts [odds ratio per cup increase: 0.88 (95% CI:0.79;0.98)]involved development of stroke, and smaller hippocampal volume in expression of memory ability.
2. Coffee consumption promoted better performance on the Letter Digit Substitution Task
3. But do not improved on the 15-Word Learning test delayed recall.

Dr. Araújo LF, again said, "...(there is a) complex associations between coffee consumption, brain structure, and cognition. Higher coffee consumption was cross-sectionally associated with a lower occurrence of lacunar infarcts and better executive function.

Interestingly, according to the study of coffee consumption and other baseline variables of 2606 middle-aged Finnish twins assessed in 1975 and 1981 by postal questionnaires, with after the median follow-up of 28 y, coffee consumption was not an independent predictor of cognitive performance in old age, according to the linear regression analysis.

The study also insisted that coffee drinking did not affect the risk of mild cognitive impairment or dementia, but expressed an inconsistent cognitive score.

Taking altogether, coffee and coffee caffeine can only improve performance of some cognitive function but not at a whole, particular in older population.
