Herbal Eyebright ( Euphrasia), a Potential Anti-inflammatory Herbal Medicine

By Kyle J. Norton

Anti-inflammation is a process that inhibits the pro-inflammatory cytokines without affecting the immune system activity against pathogens.

Inflammation is the natural response of the immune system macrophages, the first line of defense in stimulating the production of inflammatory cytokines to protect our body against the infection caused by foreign microorganisms during the acute phase of body damage and injury.

Truly, the main focus of inflammation is to repair damage and injury.

Acute inflammation occurs quickly or within the hours and lasts a few days or weeks and the damaged tissues are healed themselves after all pathogens are killed off.

Any inflammation that lasts more than 8 weeks is considered chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is a low-grade inflammation caused by the inability of the immune system to eliminate the invasive pathogens that occurred in the acute phase of infection.

Believe it or not, worldwide, 3 of 5 death are results from chronic inflammatory diseases like stroke, chronic respiratory diseases, heart disorders, cancer, obesity, and diabetes.

In the US, chronic inflammatory diseases affect more than 50 million Americans each year.

Diseases associated with low-grade inflammation include diabetes and cardiovascular.

Conventionally, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most common medical drugs such as aspirin. ibuprofen in reducing inflammation associated with pain-relieving.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases, scientists examined the extract of Euphrasia officinalis, a traditional folk medicine synthesized gold nanoparticles (EO-AuNPs) anti-inflammatory effects.


Eyebright is one of the species of flowering plants, genus Euphrasia, belonging to the family Orobanchaceae, native to Europe. 

The plant has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat eye infection and to relieve inflammation caused by colds, coughs, sinus infections, sore throats, and hay fever.

According to tested analysis,
* EO-AuNPs exhibited little cytotoxicity in RAW 264.7 cells at 100 µg/mL concentration after 24 hours.

* EO-AuNPs significantly suppressed the LPS-induced release of pro-inflammatory expressions such as NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6.

* Furthermore, pretreatment with EO-AuNPs significantly reduced the phosphorylation and degradation of inhibitor kappa B-alpha and inhibited the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 against the activation of inflammatory proteins and immune response.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, "The synthesized EO-AuNPs showed anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells, suggesting they may be potential candidates for treating inflammatory-mediated diseases".

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

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Improve Patients with Heart Failure

By Kyle J. Norton

The heart is a four-chambered, hollow muscle and a double-acting pump located in the chest between the lungs is a muscular organ in the human body.

The heart formed an important part of the circulatory system that pumps blood through the blood vessels to nourish the body and assist in the removal of metabolic wastes.

According to the statistic provided by the American Heart Foundation, on average, an American dies of CVD every 38 seconds. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounted for 840,678 deaths in the US in 2016 and the condition also claims more lives each year than all forms of cancer and chronic lower respiratory disease combined

In 2016, cardiovascular diseases cause the death of 2,303 deaths each day, in the US.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) kills over 370,000 people annually.

The most common heart disease in North America is CHD, the type of heart disease caused by plaque buildup on artery walls, leading to narrow, thickens and stiffens arteries. Some researchers suggested that the causes of plaque build-up on the arterial wall were the results of several factors including an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, being overweight and smoking.

Heart failure (HF) is a medical condition associated with the reduced function of the heart muscle that can not maintain blood flow to meet the body's needs, leading to symptoms of 

* Shortness of breath and excessive tiredness are caused by the congestion in your lungs in the process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.
And

* Leg swelling is a condition caused by fluid to back up in your lungs and in other parts of your body such as your ankles.

Believe it or not, approximately 600, 000 Canadian are living with heart failure or 16% of the entire population.

Conventionally, there is no cure for heart failure, the most common treatment is focusing on lifestyle changes and managing the condition to improve quality of life.

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of heart diseases, researchers examined the effects of long-chain omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on omega-3 levels on chronic heart failure (CHF).

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial included a total of 108 patients with CHF from June 12, 2014, to May 19, 2016; 80 (74.1%), using a 400/200 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)/docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) fish oil at 2 g and an almost pure EPA at 2 g daily, compared with a matched placebo for 12 weeks for patients with CHF and major depressive disorder.

Based on the results of differentiation,
* Omega-3 supplementation resulted in significant increases in omega-3 levels in red blood cell counts, corresponding to a particular compound of omega-3.

* Changes in cognitive depressive symptoms and social function were in favor of the omega-3 supplementation.

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the prevention of heart failure, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Tocopherols, the Promising Anti Colon Cancer Phytochemicals

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is the class of diseases associated with the growth of the cells disorderly and uncontrollably due to the alternation of DNA.

The colon also is known as the large bowel or large intestine, formed parts of the digestive system in our body.

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

The main functions of the colon are to reabsorb fluids and process waste products from the body and prepare for its elimination.

Colon cancer is a chronic condition caused by cell growth irregularly and disorderly in the colon due to the alternation of DNA.

Most cases of colon cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the colon. At this stage, patients may not experience any symptoms.

After penetrating deeper into the colon layer, the cancer cells may travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissues and organs through the fluids and blood circulation.

According to the statistics provided by the Stat-Canada, 1 in 16 Canadian men and 1 in 18 women will develop colorectal cancer over their lifetime. The cancer is the third leading cause of death behind prostate and lung cancer.

Every year, approximately 26,,000 Canadians are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, represented 13% of all new cancer cases.

Colon cancer is a slow growth cancer, therefore, most colon cancer is detected in the later stage after experiencing symptoms of blood in your stool or an ongoing change in bowel habits. In other words, only 39% of colorectal cancer is detected in the early stage.

The 5-year survival rate of localized stage colorectal cancer is 90%.

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, and seed or nut oils, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of digestive diseases, researchers examined the growth inhibitory effects of different forms of tocopherols (T), tocopheryl phosphates (TP), and tocopherol quinones (TQ) on human colon cancer HCT116 and HT29 cells.

According to the analysis,
* δ-T was more active than γ-T in inhibiting colon cancer cell growth, decreasing cancer cell colony formation, and inducing apoptosis observed on the tested cancer cell lines compared to the ineffective α-T.
* Furthermore, the rate of cellular uptake also followed the ranking order δ-T > γ-T ≫ α-T. TP and TQ generally had higher inhibitory activities than their parent compounds.
* Moreover, the γ forms of TP and TQ were more active than the δ forms in inhibiting cancer cell growth, whereas the α forms were the least effective.

* More importantly, the potencies of γ-TQ and δ-TQ (showing IC50 values of ∼0.8 and ∼2 μM on HCT116 cells after a 72 h incubation, respectively) were greater than 100-fold and greater than 20-fold higher, respectively, than those of their parent tocopherols.

The efficacy of δ-T, γ-TP, and γ-TQ in the Induction of cancer cell apoptosis by was characterized by the cleavage of caspase 3 and PARP1 and DNA fragmentation associated with cancer cell death.

 

After talking about other factors into account, researchers said, "These studies demonstrated the higher growth inhibitory activity of δ-T than γ-T, the even higher activities of the γ forms of TP and TQ, and the ineffectiveness of the α forms of tocopherol and their metabolites against colon cancer cells".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered an adjunct therapy in the treatment of colon cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Broccoli' Sulforaphane (SFN), a Natural Chemo-Preventive Phytochemical

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is the class of diseases associated with the growth of the cells disorderly and uncontrollably due to the alternation of DNA.

Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissues of the organ or gland. At the early stage, most cancers are asymptomatic.

However, at the advanced stage, most cancers not can induce common symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomforts, unintended weight loss, loss of appetite and fatigue but also localized symptoms depending on the affected tissues and organs.

Cancers at this stage also can travel a distance away from the original site to induce secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics provided by the American cancer society, in 2018,1,735,350 new cases were diagnosed, representing more than 4,700 new cancer diagnoses each day.

The lifetime probability of being diagnosed with cancer is 39.7% for men and 37.6% for women.

Chemo-drugs are a class of conventional medicine used for the treatment of cancers. including 5-fluorouracil, 6-mercaptopurine, cytarabine, gemcitabine, and methotrexate.

Compared to other treatments, chemotherapy targets cancer's specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival.

Chemo drugs have been found to improve the survival rate of cancer patients. However, they also induce significant side effects.

The most common side effects of chemo-drugs are fatigue, hair loss, easy bruising, and bleeding. infection, anemia (low red blood cell counts) nausea and vomiting, appetite changes and constipation.

The side effects of chemo drugs are the results of damage to the healthy blood-forming cells in the bone marrow, hair follicles, and cells in the mouth, digestive tract, and reproductive system.

According to the American Cancer Society, some chemo drugs have also been found to damage cells in the heart, kidneys, bladder, lungs, and nervous system.

Chemoprevention is the use of a medication, vitamin or supplement to prevent the initiation of cancer.

On finding a potential plant for the treatment of cancers, researchers compared the effects of
Brassica family of cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli is a rich source of isothiocyanates, sulforaphane (SFN) as chemopreventive phytochemical.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color with a mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant from the continent of Europe.

According to the differentiation, sulforaphane (SFN) exerted its potent chemopreventive agent based on its ability to target multiple mechanisms within the cell to control carcinogenesis.

More precisely, anti-inflammatory, pro-apoptotic and modulation of histones are some of the more important and known mechanisms by which SFN demonstrates chemoprevention.

Furthermore, The effect of SFN on cancer stem cells is another area of interest that has been explored in recent years and may contribute to its chemopreventive properties.

Based on the results, researchers said, "In this paper, we briefly review structure, pharmacology and preclinical studies highlighting chemopreventive effects of SFN".

Taken altogether, broccoli consists of SFN may be considered a chemopreventive functional food, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthy Cynometra Cauliflora, the Anti-Obesity Functional Foods

By Kyle J. Norton

Obesity is a chronic and medical condition caused by excess body fat accumulated to some extent that impacts personal health. The hallmark of obesity is attenuated metabolism and structural cell changes in the obese fat observed by reducing metabolic activity.

According to the statistics provided by the National Center for Health Statistics (2015-2016), in the US, approximately 39.8% of adults aged 20 and over were obese accompanied by another 31.8% overweight.

Visceral fat is a layer of fat that surrounds the organs. Overexpression of visceral fat has been found to promote insulin resistance, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation.

In obese, accumulation of visceral fat is predominant in the intra-abdominal cavity.

According to the BMI index, a person is considered overweight, if he/she has a BMI between 25 to 29.9 kg/m2. A BMI of 30 kg/m2 or more is an indication of obese.

In other words, obesity is a progressive chronic disease characterized by abnormal fat accumulation in the body tissues that may impair health.

Similar to other chronic medical conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease or high blood pressure, obesity has recently become a serious health problem in the US as nearly 35% of Americans are obese accompanied by a similar percentage of overweight adults.

Obesity and overweight on the U.S. economy have eclipsed $1.7 trillion, equivalent to 9.3 percent of the nation's gross domestic product, according to a new overweight report on chronic diseases.

Dr. Maximilian Tremmel, the lead scientist in a systematic literature review of the economic burden of obesity, wrote, " almost half of the world’s adult population will be overweight or obese by 2030 if the prevalence continues on the current trend [6] and consequently also the costs attributable to obesity will increase"

And, "A useful example for rapidly rising costs attributable to obesity from these selected studies are the two mentioned studies from Germany [44,46]. The results of the two papers together show that total societal costs in Germany due to obesity have increased from €9.8 million to €12.2 million between 2002 and 2008. Therefore, public health interventions should focus on the prevention of obesity as soon as possible, ideally at a young age".

Description

Cynometra cauliflora is a species of the genus Cynometra, native to Malaysia, and found mainly in northern Peninsular Malaysia.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, researchers examined the anti-obesity and lipid-lowering effects of ethanolic extract of C. cauliflora leaves and its major compound (vitexin) in C57BL/6 obese mice induced by high-fat diet (HFD).

The study included male C57BL/6 mice induced obese by feeding with HFD (60% fat) for 16 weeks followed by the treatment that starts during the last 8 weeks of HFD feeding with C. cauliflora leaf extract at 200 and 400 mg/kg/day, orlistat (10 mg/kg) and vitexin (10 mg/kg).

According to the chemical analysis,
* The oral administration of C. cauliflora (400 and 200 mg/kg) and vitexin significantly reduced body weight, adipose tissue and liver weight and lipid accumulation in the liver compared to control HFD group.

* Both doses of C. cauliflora also significantly (P ≤ 0.05) decreased serum triglyceride, LDL, lipase, IL-6, peptide YY, resistin levels, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperleptinemia compared to the control HFD group.

* C. cauliflora significantly up-regulated the expression of adiponectin, Glut4, Mtor, IRS-1 and InsR genes associated with the sustaining weight loss and significantly decreased the expression of Lepr in white adipose tissue involved in stimulating weight gain.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "This study shows interesting outcomes of C. cauliflora against HFD-induced obesity and associated metabolic abnormalities".

Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infectious diseases, pending to 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.

Herbal Ashwagandha, an Adjunct Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis

By Kyle J. Norton

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting mostly the lung in children and young adults, leading to difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus due to frequent lung infections.

However, the condition has also been found in the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine.

According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry, more than 30,000 people are living with cystic fibrosis in the US.

Believe it or not, most cases of CF are diagnosed by age 2.

The most common symptoms are depending on the location of cystic fibrosis including
sinus infections, poor growth, fatty stool, clubbing of the fingers and toes.

In male adults, the condition also induces infertility as a result of the blockage or absence of the sperm canal.

Conventionally, as of today, there is no cure for CF. Most cases of CF caused by lung infection are treated intravenously, inhaled, or by mouth.

In severe cases, a lung transplant may be the only option.

Although most cases of CF are associated with a genetic preposition, environment, lifestyle, and age are also 2 main factors that increase the risk of CF.

According to statistics provided by the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, approximately 1 in every 3,600 children born in Canada has CF.

In age perspective,
* 60% of patients are diagnosed in the first year of life, and 90% by 10 years of age.

* More than 47% of all Canadians with CF are over the age of 18 years.

* As of 2002, the median age of survival of Canadians with CF is 37 years of age.

Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.

The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.

In the urgency to discover a natural ingredient for the treatment of diseases associated with genetic disorders, researchers examined the effects of Withaferin A (WFA), a steroidal lactone from the plant Withania Somnifera L. Dunal on cystic fibrosis.

According to the tested analysis, WFA blocks platelet-activating factor (PAF)-induced activation of NFκB in the induction of inflammation through the innate immune cells and inflammatory T cells.

More precisely, WFA inhibited the NFκB activation that leads to a reduction of the increased expression of IL-8 and NFκB subunit p65 translocation involved in inflammation.

In other words, WFA demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in the cystic fibrosis model.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "the airways of CF patients can be specifically targeted for delivery of therapeutics, we propose that WFA should be further studied as an anti-inflammatory agent in models of CF-related inflammation mediated by NFκB".

Taken altogether, Ashwagandha processed a high amount of bioactive compound WFA may be considered supplements for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Dandelion(Taraxacum Officinale) Exerts an Inhibitory Activity Against the Risk of Metabolic Syndrome

By Kyle J. Norton  

Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and types 2 diabetes, including high blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels and excess body fat around the waist.

Cardiovascular diseases refer to heart diseases, affecting millions of people in the world. According to statistic, over 17.7 million people died from CVDs in 2015, Hyperlipidaemia and hypertension are the risk factors of the diseases.

Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose.

In other words, diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.

According to statistics, metabolic syndrome is a growing prevalence in the Western world, In the US, 30% of Americans are living with metabolic syndrome,

In other words, 1 in 5 people in Canada has metabolic syndrome, affecting 19.1% of all Canadian adults.

The CDC statistic suggested, among US adults aged 18 years or older, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome rose by more than 35% from 25.3% to 34.2% according to the data from 1988–1994 to 2007–2012.

The most common metabolic syndrome are age, family history of metabolic syndrome, physical activity, and women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Symptoms of signs of metabolic syndrome depending on types of affected conditions and complications.

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 cardiovascular diseases, scientists examined the effects of Boldocynara® (Cynara scolymus, Silybum marianum, Taraxacum officinale, and Peumus boldus) as a combination product and its individual extracts on key enzymes relevant to metabolic syndrome.

According to the tested differentiation, the combination exerted moderate to weak effects on the tested liver enzymes against metabolic syndrome.

In the individual herb analysis, 

* Peumus boldus extract exhibited pronounced inhibitory activities on α-glucosidase (80% inhibition at 100 µg/ml, IC50: 17.56 µg/ml) associated with a metabolic modifier that could reduce the risk of CVD in patients with the metabolic syndrome.

* Silybum marianum had moderate pancreatic lipase (PL) inhibitory activities (30% at 100 µg/ml) involved in lipid metabolism disorder.

* Cynara scolymus showed moderate ACE inhibitory activity (31% at 100 µg/ml) in reducing the risk of CVD.

In other words, all individual herbal medicine work synergistically to induce inhibitory activity against all parameters in inducing the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, " our results indicate some moderate potential of the dietary supplement Boldocynara® and its single ingredients for the prevention of metabolic disorders".

Taken altogether, Dandelion used in a combination with other herbs may be considered a formula for the prevention of metabolic syndrome, pending to the conirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
