Fennel, The Best Herbal Remedy Which Detoxes Your Kidneys Through Promoting Excess Fluids Secretion, Public Medical Library Revealed

By Kyle J. Norton

Fennel may have a potential and positive effect of eliminating excess water and toxin from our body, some scientists suggested.

Diuresis is a medicine with a function to stimulate increased production of urine.

Detoxification is a process of eliminated toxin accumulation from our body. In some cases, the function may only target some specific organs, such as kidneys, liver,..... and lung.

According to traditional medicine, detoxification is a necessary process to enhance and optimize the functions of our body by cleansing away substances which may reduce or cause harm to our body organs and tissue.

According to the Tao of Wellness in the address of the importance of detoxification of Traditional Chinese Medicine wrote,  " Our body is automatically programmed to cleanse itself daily. However, with our fast-paced modern lifestyle and exposure to an increasing number of harmful and toxic substances, our body’s natural cleansing ability has become overworked and compromised" and "Many signs and symptoms attributed to stress are now being linked to exposure from harmful substances such as PCBs, pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, growth hormones, and mercury in food and liquids as well as dioxins and formaldehyde in the air".

Truly, harmful and toxic substances not removed from our body may have substantially negative implication to cause of many serious illnesses, such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases,..... and reproductive ailments.

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of the genus, belongings to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean.

The herb or food has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...

In animal model, according to the John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. in the evaluation of the re-toxic effect of hydroalcoholic extracts of Foeniculum vulgare var dulce (D.C) root, researchers found that application of the extract exerts a significant activity in flushing out of excess water and toxin from the body through increased kidney function in secretion of fluids.

The result of these properties was observed by an increase in urine flow and urinary sodium excretion.

The efficacy in the cleansing body was also found linearly in dose depending manner.

Continuously, in further examine the efficacy of fennel powder, extract and oil on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity through a study of total 35 adult female Sprague Dawley rats classified into five groups with the first group kept on the standard diet all over the period of the experiment. and the other groups administered gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day for 7 days i.p), followed by either control (+ve) group or treated groups with fennel powder, extract and oil for 45 days, at the end of the study, researchers found that

* Injected gentamicin group served as control exhibited a strong nephrotoxicity manifested by increasing levels of kidney function indicator, serum nitric oxide (NO) and kidney malondialde(MDA) however, this group of rats also exerted a significant decrease in weight gain.

Increased expression of serum nitric oxide (NO) and kidney malondialdehyde (MDA) is an indicator of severe oxidative stress caused by imbalanced of the ratio of ROS and antioxidants in the host.

* Gentamicin groups treated with fennel powder, extract and oil demonstrated an improve the levels of urea and uric acid in comparing to control (+ve) and displayed an improvement of antioxidant enzymes, serum superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase, and glutathione transferase (GST) and decrease of serum NO in compared to control (+ve) group.

These results addressed the important antioxidant effect of fennel extracts.

Furthermore, the applications not only inhibited the levels of free radical and theirs' chain reactive activities but also stimulated the production of antioxidants found in the host tissue.

* Moreover, the group treated with fennel oil restored the normal values of kidney antioxidant enzymes compared with normal group and other treatment groups.

Dr. Soheir Ahamed Al-Masri, the lead author, after taking into account of other co and confounders said, "fennel powder, extract and oil have a potent antioxidant and ameliorate in rats gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats".

Clearly, fennel oil exhibited the greatest effect in stimulated kidney function to detox the body toxins through increased secretion of urine compared to other experimental groups.

The results of this study clearly indicate that fennel powder, extract and oil are potent antioxidants which ameliorate the levels of gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

Interestingly, in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) treated with either water extract of Marrubium vulgare L. or Foeniculum vulgare L. in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), researchers showed that application of fennel water extract reduces hypertension through Foeniculum increased water, sodium and potassium excretion in compared to no effect of Marrubium treated group.

Additionally, in compared to Marrubium extract reduced hypertension through inhibited contractile responses, fennel restored the normal; blood pressure by increased urine secretion and ameliorated the overexpression of ROS and increased antioxidant status in the host.

Surely, one can say that Foeniculum acts mainly as a diuretic and a natriuretic while Marrubium displays vascular relaxant activity.

Taken together, fennel and its extracts may be considered as a kidney detoxed functional food in getting rid of body toxins through its diuretic activities.

Cruciferous Vegetables, The Natural Chemopreventive Veggies Protect Our Body Against Cancers Caused by Chemical Toxins, Scientists Reveal

By Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrition

Cruciferous vegetables, rich of phytochemicals may be considered as the functional food for prevention of cancers caused by chemical carcinogens some studies suggested.

Chemical carcinogens, types of chemical toxins, can induce cellular and chromosomes change and DNA damage, causing mutation of healthy cells, the initial stage of cancer development.

According to the National Toxicology Program 14th Report on Carcinogens “Known to be human carcinogens” provided by the American Cancer Society, there are many different types of chemical carcinogens, including

* Lifestyle factors (nutrition, tobacco use, physical activity, etc.) 

* Naturally occurring exposures (ultraviolet light, radon gas, infectious agents, etc.) 

* Medical treatments (radiation and medicines including chemotherapy, hormone drugs, drugs that suppress the immune system, etc.) 

* Workplace Exposures 

* Household exposures 

* Pollution
Cancers are class of medical diseases characterized by cell multiply disorderly and uncontrollably.

At the advance stage, most cancers can travel a distance away from the site of origin to infect other healthy cells and tissue via lymph and blood.

According to the Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, sulforaphane (SFN), the isothiocyanate (ITC) group of organosulfur compounds found in cruciferous vegetable expressed chemopreventive properties involved detoxification processes of chemical carcinogens.

Dr. de Figueiredo SM, the lead author said, " In a dose-dependent manner, ITC inhibits the viability of human cancer cells, modifies epigenetic events that occur in cancer cells and present antiinflammatory effect acting during the initial of uncontrolled cell proliferation."

The chemoprotective activity of the cruciferous vegetable was attributed to significant expression of the antioxidants in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of cancer cells.

Furthermore, its phytochemicals also can act as the post-initiation stages of carcinogenesis, 'suppressing' agent involving the ability to modulate the Nrf2 which is a protein with unique function of regulating expression of antioxidant proteins that protect against oxidative damage triggered by injury and inflammation.

In fact, besides using as a chemopreventive agent against chemical carcinogenesis, sulforaphane (SFN), the major chemical constituent of cruciferous vegetables also inhibited the drug-metabolizing enzymes that cause activation/neutralization of carcinogenic metabolites and protected normal healthy cells from environmental toxin inducing of cancers.

Moreover, the phytochemical exhibited the molecular mechanisms responsible for the overall chemopreventive effects on selective cytotoxicity, the unique function of inhibiting oxidate stress, free radicals produced by lipid peroxidation in cells.

Additionally, in tobacco smoke carcinogens induced chemical tumors, cruciferous vegetable consumption has shown to inversely associate the development of cancer.

 In animal experiments. the chemopreventive effects of isothiocyanates, another compound found cruciferous vegetable, inhibited the metabolic activation of carcinogens by cytochrome P450s, enzymes with the function of metabolized potentially toxic compounds.

Taking together, intake of cruciferous vegetables have a potential health benefit against environment toxins that initiates the early onset of cancers. But due to the small size of the sample, further studies are necessary to address the veggies anti cancers possibility.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga Improves All Aspects in Patients with Osteoporosis

By Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrition

Yoga participated may benefit to individuals with osteoporosis by reducing complications of fractures, some studies suggested.

Osteoporosis is a Musculoskeletal disorder (MSDs) medical condition, characterized by decreased bone density.

The exact causes of osteoporosis are unknown. Neither researchers understood that people with the same health conditions, some are affected by the imbalance between new bone formation and bone resorption while others do not.

However, researchers do know that certain risk factors such as a lid to increase lifelong calcium-deficient diet, age, female, family history,.... bone structure and overweight are associated with the early onset of osteoporosis.

Furthermore, long-term intake of certain medications such as prednisone and a medical condition such as rheumatoid arthritis are also the osteoporosis prevalent risk factors

According to the statistic, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men older than 50 will suffer from an osteoporosis fracture, worldwide.


Yoga, the ancient practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been well known to people the in Western world and some parts in Asia.

Some of yoga health benefits were reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In the review of literature published in PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane databases between 1966 and 2011 about topics related to osteoporosis and spinal movement. researchers found that
*Yoga, as a moderate form of exercise showed to strengthen the muscles supporting the spinal column, promote balance, improve posture, and enhance the quality of life.

* Yoga attendees may also benefit from varied spinal movement in preserving the health and strength of the vertebral bodies.

* Yoga exercise modified by experts may be helpful in reduced risk fracture depending on the risk of vertebral fractures of attendees

After adjusting to other risk factors, Dr, Smith EN the led author said, "Yoga therapists are cautioned to not apply a one-size-fits-all approach when working with this population".
Furthermore, the study also concerned that more studies are needed to further evaluate yoga poses presence which provides the least risk and greatest benefit to individuals with osteoporosis.

Physically, yoga postures and exercise exert a significant effect of stimulating bone metabolism and enhance physical function. the As impact of moderate exercises is recognized as beneficial for the stimulation of bone tissue, muscle strength, type of muscle contraction associated with changes in bone metabolism.

Additionally, in the support of the above differentiation, researchers at the Istanbul University conducted a review of literature posted in databases with 26 postmenopausal osteoporotic women over 55 years of age satisfied the criteria selected found that* Yoga may be used as a form of exercise in the field of osteoporosis rehabilitation.

* Yoga lessons expressed a positive influence on balance, posture, flexibility, and life quality.

* Yoga education has a positive effect on pain, physical functions, social functions, general, particularly in post postmenopausal osteoporotic women.

However, according to the reports from the Mayo Clinic in the examine 3 patients with osteopenia, but in good health and pain-free, and started yoga exercises to improve their musculoskeletal health, researchers warned,  yoga class without tailoring to individual students needed may induce pain and complications with some flexion yoga positions in the patients with osteopenia of that can lead to concern that fracture risk and increased even further in osteoporosis.

Dr. Sinaki M, said, "Although exercise has been shown to be effective for improving bone mineral density and decreasing fracture risk, our subjects had the development of VCFs and neck and back pain with yoga exercises. This finding suggests that factors other than bone mass should be considered for exercise counseling in patients with bone loss. The increased torque pressure applied to vertebral bodies during SFEs may be a risk".

Furthermore, the study also advises that even though yoga exercise prescribed for patients with the vertebral bone loss, is effective and important for treatment of osteopenia and osteoporosis but instructors should need to know some positions can contribute to extreme state ain on spines with bone loss.

Taking all together, yoga may be considered as an integrated form of exercise in all ages, but in the older population with osteoporosis, yoga instructors should select an applicable lesson which provides the least risk and greatest benefit to individuals with osteoporosis.

Infectious Diseases: Green tea, The Beverage Kills Bacterial Staphylococcus and Streptococcus That Cause Cellulitis

Kyle J. Norton 

Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect of reducing risk and treatment of cellulitis, some scientists suggested.

The results of the investigation were evaluated by numbers of respectable institutes, including the University of Indonesia and Mashhad University of Medical Sciences and published online in some medical literature databases including PubMed.

Cellulitis is a common and serious bacterial skin infection that affects the deep layer of skin, caused mostly by Staphylococcus and Streptococcus bacteria, inducing symptoms of a red, swollen skin rash (usually on the lower legs or arms) that feels tender and hot.

The skin infectious disease can appear anywhere in the body, however, in most cases, it affects the skin of the lower legs.

Some researchers suggested that people with a weakened immune system such as age population and intake of immune suppressive drugs and obesity are most likely to develop cellulitis.

As always, most cases of cellulitis are treated with antibiotics in a period of 5-10 days. Please make sure that you discuss the side effects of the medicine with your doctor.

Although it is rare, some people with severe cellulitis that experience severe symptoms of high fever or vomiting and fails to respond to treatment.

Recurrences of cellulitis may require antibiotics that are given by IV.

Green tea is a precious drink processed numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.

In the searching of natural antibiotics against skin infection such as cellulitis, by reviewing some plants for the treatment of skin diseases taken place during the past 17 year using the of plants is as old as the mankind, researchers found that green tea with abundant polyphenols, epigallocatechin gallate exerts a strong effect as antioxidants to reduce the risk of skin diseases, including tumors, herpes, and cellulitis. 

According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, application of EGCG also demonstrated a potential in rejuvenated old skin cells.

Further analysis of green tea catechins, the major green tea polyphenols, exhibited antimicrobial activity against resistant pathogens in induction of skin infection, including cellulitis, researchers at the Mashhad University of Medical Sciences conducted a study to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of different agents against bacterial strains, through assessing the interactions of green tea extract, epigallate catechin, epigallocatechin gallate, two types of methylxanthine, caffeine, and theophylline with gentamicin against standard and clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and the standard strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa).

According to the final phase of the experiment, researchers indicated that
*The MICs of gentamicin against bacterial strains were in the range of 0.312 - 320 μg/mL and the MIC values of both types of catechins were 62.5 - 250 μg/ mL.

* Green tea extract showed insufficient antibacterial activity when used alone 

* Methylxanthines had no intrinsic inhibitory activity against any of the bacterial strains tested.

* When green tea extract and catechins were combined with gentamicin, the MIC values of gentamicin against the standard strains and a clinical isolate were reduced, and synergistic activities were observed (FICI < 1). 

* A combination of caffeine with gentamicin did not alter the MIC values of gentamicin.

The results of all comparison after taking into account of other co and confounders revealed that green tea extract and catechins potentiated the antimicrobial action of gentamicin against some clinical isolates of S. aureus and standard P. aeruginosa strains",  Dr. Fazly Bazzaz BS, the lead author said.

Moreover, the evaluate the antibacterial activity of the Indonesian water soluble green tea extract, Camellia sinensis, against clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (MRSA) and multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-P. aeruginosa) also lends a support of the above differentiation.

According to the University of Indonesia,

* The inhibition zone diameter of green tea extracts for S. aureus ATCC 25923 and MRSA were (18.970 ± 0.287) mm, and (19.130 ± 0.250) mm respectively. 

* While the inhibition zone diameter for P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and MDR-P. aeruginosa were (17.550 ± 0.393) mm and (17.670 ± 0.398) mm respectively. 

* The MIC of green tea extracts against S. aureus ATCC 25923 and MRSA were 400 µg/mL and 400 µg/mL, respectively.

* Finally, the MIC for P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and MDR-P. aeruginosa were 800 µg/mL, and 800 µg/mL, respectively.

Taken together, green tea and its bioactive compounds may be considered as a functional food for reduced risk and treatment of cellulitis caused by Staphylococcus and Streptococcus bacterial infection.

Alternative Therapy: Yoga Intervention Can Alleviate Pain and Treat Rheumatic Diseases, Researchers Suggest.

By Kyle J. Norton (Master of Nutrients, All right reserved)

Yoga intervention may have a profound effect to alleviate pain and treat rheumatic diseases, some studies suggested.

Rheumatic diseases are a condition of Musculoskeletal disorders, affecting the joints and muscles.

Yoga, the accident technique practice for harmonized external and internal body well being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been best known for people in the Western world and some parts in Asia.

In a study to compare the effect of Tai Chi and yoga therapies in treatments for rheumatologic and musculoskeletal diseases, researchers filed the following report
* Both therapy displays a significant effect of Tai Chi and yoga in the management of rheumatologic diseases, particularly in osteoarthritis of the knee, hip and hand, and rheumatoid arthritis pain.

* Tai Chi and yoga are safe, expressed a reduction of pain and improvement of physical function and quality of life in patients with rheumatic diseases.

By the information collected, Uhlig T, the led authors said, "Recommendations for Tai Chi in knee osteoarthritis have recently been issued by the American College of Rheumatology. To allow broader recommendations for the use of Tai Chi and yoga in rheumatic diseases".

The study from McGill University, Montreal suggested that yoga lessons not only improve stress and anxiety and promote a sense of calmness, general well-being, and quality of life but also reduced inflammatory mediators including C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 in overexpression pain in participants with rheumatic disease.

Truly, regular yoga practice can increase muscle strength and endurance, proprioception, the sense equilibrium and balance, depending on the notion of force and balance, with emphasis on movement through a full range of motion to increase flexibility and mobility, thus reducing physical symptoms in patients with rheumatic diseases.

Some researchers suggested that regular yoga practice

* can improve stress management and can have a feedback effect on improving chronic pain, through affecting the response to pain, decreasing the level of perceived suffering.

* can improve movement of joints, as motion and muscles stretching can decrease the intensity of pain or relieve your pain completely in some patients.

Furthermore, yoga breathing and medication also were found to reduce chronic pain through calming the nervous system to block respond to pain messages, reduce inflammatory chemicals from communicating with nerves and increase the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals called endorphins.

However, in the review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs)  by comparing yoga with control interventions in patients with rheumatic diseases by searching database of Medline/PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library and IndMED through February 2013, eight RCTs selected met the guideline with a total of 559 subjects with two RCTs with a low risk of bias, researchers found that all studies expressed a very low evidence for effects on pain and disability, in patients with rheumatic diseases participated in yoga classes, long and short terms.

Taking all together, yoga practice may have a profound effect to alleviate pain and treat rheumatic diseases, however, larger randomized controlled trials. are necessary to reaffirm these possibilities

Dried Peas Delay and Decrease Postprandial Plasma Glucose and Insulin Concentrations Effectively In Type 2 Diabetes, Scientists Find

By Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrition

Scientists may have found a whole food with a potential effect of management of type 2 diabetes, some studies suggested.

Types 2 Diabetes is a chronic and medical condition characterized insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to neutralize the levels of glucose.

Types 2 Diabetes is caused either by cells in pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.

In some cases, diabetes can also be caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.

The exact causes of type 2 diabetes are unknown as researchers do not know why? people with same
health condition, some are susceptible to early onset of type 2 diabetes, while others do not.

However, some researchers suggested there are some major risk factors such as genetics and lifestyle associated with early onset of insulin resistance.

Epidemiological studies also suggested that conditions such as overweight, obesity, physical inactivity, family history, race, age, and high blood pressure are some prevalent risk factors of type 2 diabetes, especially, in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and previous gestational diabetes.

According to the World Health Organization, the number of people with diabetes has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014.

The global prevalence of diabetes among adults over 18 years of age has risen from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014.

Diabetes prevalence has been rising more rapidly in middle- and low-income countries.

Sadly, untreated or improperly managed diabetes are leading causes of kidney failure, lower-limb amputations, and adult-onset blindness.

Dried peas are a small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family, genus Pisum belongings to the family Fabaceae.

Fried peas also healthy sources of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals that are good for everyone diet.

The Nutrients and Chemical constituents
1. Carbohydrates
2. Dietary fiber
3. Fat
4. Protein
5. Vitamin A ( Beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin)
6. B vitamins
7. Vitamin C
8. Calcium
9. Iron
10. Magnesium
11. Phosphorus
12. Potassium
13. Zinc Beside it main component of Polyphenolic compounds, it also contains saponin pisatin, L-pipecolic acid, glycoside-Pisatoside, tocopherols,.... and cerebroside.

To understand more of low-glycemic response versus a high glycemic response breakfast meal on postprandial serum glucose, insulin and free fatty acid (FFA) responses after consumption of a standardized mid-day meal in adult individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), researchers launched a randomized crossover intervention using control and test meals was conducted over a 3-week-period following an overnight fast of 8-10 h.

Patients included in the study were given either Breakfast (A), a high glycemic load breakfast meal consist of farina (kJ 1833; carbohydrate (CHO) 78 g and psyllium soluble fiber 0 g) or breakfast (B) a low-glycemic load breakfast meal consists of a fiber-loop cereal (kJ 1515; CHO 62 g and psyllium soluble fiber 6.6 g) randomly.

Forty-five Type 2 DM subjects included in the study have completed the requirements. By observation of post-breakfast analyses experiment, researchers found that

* Breakfast B had a significantly lower area under the curve (AUC) values for plasma glucose and insulin compared to Breakfast A (P<0.05).

* Post-lunch analyses indicated similar glucose responses for the two breakfast types.

* Insulin AUC values for Breakfasts B were significantly lower than Breakfast A (P<0.05) (95% confidence level).

These result suggested that psyllium soluble fiber have a strong effect to reduce fasting glucose compared to a meal without. However, intake of psyllium soluble fiber showed insignificant improvement postprandially in the glycemic, insulinemic and FFA responses after the consumption of the lunch meal.

Dr. Clark CA, the lead researcher also indicated, "These data revealed no residual postprandial effect of the psyllium soluble fiber breakfast meal beyond the second meal consumed".

Additionally, in the study to evaluate the glycemic and insulinemic effects of dried peas compared to potatoes researchers at the University of Göttingen conducted a study, using 3 different meals based on dried peas, potatoes, or both in patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing dietary treatment.

The tested meals were prepared according to local recipes and consumed at weekly intervals in random order at lunchtime, contained comparable amounts of carbohydrate, fat, protein, and water. The carbohydrate source of the meals differed and was supplied from either dried peas (meal 1), potatoes (meal 3), or a combination thereof (meal 2). Peripheral and venous blood was sampled over 180 min.

In the final report, researchers wrote,
* The increases in postprandial plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were delayed and significantly smaller after the peameal than after the potato meal.

* The areas under the glucose curve were 164, 257 and 381 mmol x 180 min/L for meals 1, 2, and 3, respectively (P < 0.01).

* The areas under the insulin curve were 13.8, 15.4 and 31.2 nmol x 180 min/L, respectively.

These results further reaffirm the effect of dried peas in delay and lower postprandial plasma glucose and insulin concentrations compared to potatoes.

Interestingly, researchers also strongly suggested, "..... carbohydrates in dried peas may be largely disregarded in carbohydrate counting and that type 2 diabetic patients should probably increase their consumption of low-glycemic, high-fiber foods at the expense of high-glycemic, low-fiber foods".


Taken together, dried peas may be considered as functional food for diabetes management by reducing postprandial plasma glucose and insulin concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Green Tea, The Beverage Which Blocks The Onset of Ulcerative Colitis, Researchers Find

Kyle J. Norton 

Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect for prevention and treatment of Ulcerative Colitis, some scientists suggested.

Ulcerative Colitis is a digestive condition characterized by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that induces chronic inflammation and ulcers (sores) in the digestive tract.

According to statistic, approximately, between 250,000 and 500,000 people are infected by ulcerative colitis in the United States. The risk of ulcerative colitis onset is between 2 to 7 per 100,000 persons.

Most common symptoms are abdominal pain and diarrhea. However, some patients may also experience symptoms of fatigue or tiredness, loss of appetite, dehydration feeling the urge to empty the bowels constantly,.... and weight loss.

If you have some of the symptoms of above, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility of ulcerative colitis.

Researchers do not know the exact cause of Ulcerative Colitis.

Neither they know why ulcerative colitis induces chronic inflammation and ulcers (sores) in the digestive tract.

However, they do know that certain risk factors are associated to the development of the disease, including genetic mutation of a certain gene, environmental toxins, overreaction of the immune system,.... and long-term high levels of linoleic acid intake.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world.

As yin in nature, long-term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

Mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, 15 received 400 mg or 800 mg of total Polyphenon E daily, administered in split doses or and 4 in placebo in a double-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot study, researchers at the end of the experiential indicated that oral administration of the extracts  exerts a potential effect of reduced levels of inflammation through the improvement of the reading of the mean UC disease activity index score compared to the entry score.

After 56 days of therapy, Polyphenon E  treatment group exhibited strong improvement of over response rate of 66.7% (10 of 15) and remission rate of 53.3% (8/15) compared to 0% (0/4) in both response rate and remission rate in the placebo group.

Dr. Dryden GW, the lead author, after taking into account of other co-founder said, "Administration of Polyphenon E resulted in a therapeutic benefit for(ulcerative colitis (UC)) patients who were refractory to 5-aminosalicylic and/or azathioprine".

Polyphenon E is a high-quality tea catechin extracted from natural tea leaves.

Further analysis of green tea bioactive polyphenols, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on dextran sulfate sodium- (DSS-) induced ulcerative colitis in rats and to explore the roles of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway, indicated that application of the extract significantly improves the intestinal mucosal injury in rats though inhibited production of inflammatory factors which were overexpression during the acute phase of injuring and damage to induced further damage to the tissue.

Moreover, green tea bioactive polyphenols, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) also reduced chronic inflammation and maintained the balance of the ratio of Th1/Th2 T-helper (Th) lymphocytes that prevent alterations in cellular immunity in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Imbalance of Th1/Th2 was found to associate to the occurrence and development of ulcerative colitis.

Additionally, injection of green tea EGCG also reduced the levels of TLR4 signaling in activated the intracellular signaling pathway NF-κB and inflammatory cytokine production to imitate inflammation.

Amazingly, researchers also found that injection of TLR4 antagonism not only shows a significantly reduced the protective effect of EGCG on intestinal mucosal injury colitis but also increased the expressions of inflammatory factors in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Moreover, in the examine the antioxidant activity of green tea catechins in model of colitis induced by 2.4.6 trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) using 35 young adult Sprague-Dawley rats which are divided into four groups: normal control (n=5), catechins (n=9), TNBS (n=9) and 2.4.6 trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) plus catechins (n=12), at the end of the experiment researchers at the Joint study, American University of Beirut, found that groups with TNBS and catechin express strong anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects of amelioration of symptoms and expression of ulcerative colitis through stabilizing the mast cells production, induced by injection of TNBS in compared to TNBS treated group.

Dr. the lead authors in the joint study suggested that the study depicted a significant amelioration in the TNBS- and EGCG-treated rats compared to the non-treated animals in similar to histological data, as the mechanism of action occurred basically through the NF-kB pathway and possibly through a crosstalk with other pathways.

Taken together, green tea and its bioactive polyphenols may be considered as functional foods for the prevention and treatment of ulcerative colitis through the expression of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

Intake of green tea extract should be taken with extreme care as acute toxicity has been reported in some cases.
