Ashwagandha Protects the Liver Against Injury

By Kyle J. Norton

The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body, played an essential role in filtering blood from the intestine before passing them to other parts of the body.

The organ also produced cholesterol, a waxy substance that is needed to aid digestion and build strong cell membranes, production of steroid hormones and vitamins.

Liver injury may be a result caused by physical impact or penetrating trauma. In some cases, liver injury can also be induced by toxicity, leading to acute liver injury.

Liver injury can be mild or severe. In a mild case, liver injury can recover itself. However, in severe cases, surgery to stop the bleeding and remove the part of injury may be necessary.

Most cases of liver injury can lead to abdominal pain and tenderness caused by bleeding blood in the abdomen that irritates the abdominal tissue.

The severity of a liver injury can be diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) or ultrasonography.

According to the statistics, liver injury has been found to constitute 5% of all traumas, making it the most common abdominal injury.

The most common symptoms associated with liver injury are shocks due to severe bleeding inducing a rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, and cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin.

In some cases, blood accumulated in the abdomen may irritate the abdominal tissue, leading to symptoms of abdominal pain and swollen and tenderness.

Depending on the degree of injury, patients are either treated with nonoperative management and observation for a full self-recovery or surgery.

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 prevention and treatment of liver diseases, researchers examined the effects of withanolides (WA) from Withania somnifera root extract on hepatic toxicity in an animal model

According to the tested analysis, the application of WA profoundly protects wild-type mice but not Nrf2-disrupted mice against APAP hepatotoxicity.

Where Nrf2 is a protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins against oxidative damage.

In vivo and in vitro, WA is a potent inducer of Nrf2-dependent cytoprotective enzyme expression.

In other words, WA  protects the liver damage against oxidative stress by enhancing the function by the activation of antioxidant enzyme protein independently to a redox-regulated substrate adaptor protein Keap1 and dependently on pathway associated with limit proliferation in cells. 

Taken altogether, Ashwagandha processed a high amount of bioactive compound WA may be considered supplements for the prevention of liver toxicity, 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.

Cabbage Kills fibrosarcoma Cells in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancers are a class of chronic diseases caused by the alternation of DNA of healthy cells.

In other words, healthy cells become cancerous if they grow uncontrollably and disorderly out of range of a normal healthy cell population which can only divide between 40 and 60 times.

Fibrosarcoma is a medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the fibrous connective tissue. The tumor can be classified into low grade, intermediate malignancy, and high malignancy, depending on different degrees of differentiation:

Fibrosarcomas occur as a soft-tissue mass or as a primary or secondary bone tumor. The 2 main types of fibrosarcoma of bone are
*Primary fibrosarcoma is a fibroblastic malignancy that produces variable amounts of collagen.

* Secondary fibrosarcoma of bone arises from a preexisting lesion or after radiotherapy to an area of bone or soft tissue.


The most common symptoms of fibrosarcoma are painless or tender mass in an extremity or trunk, pain or soreness caused by suppressed nerves and muscles and limping or other difficulty using legs, feet, arms hands.

The most common prevalent factors associated with the risk of fibrosarcoma are radiation exposure. damaged lymph system or lymphedema, exposure to chemicals. and family history. 

According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, in 2016, approximately 1,025 Canadians were diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, 575 men were diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, causing 306 death. 445 women were diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, causing 349 death.

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belongings to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast.

The veggie has a short stem of which is crowded a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

With an aim to find a natural food for the prevention of oxidative stress-induced cancers researchers examined the cytotoxic effects and the mode of interaction of biologically synthesized Ag and Au nanoparticles (NPs) using Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata f. rubra (BOL) on HT-1080 cancer cells, a fibrosarcoma cell line.

According to the tested differentiation, the Ag and Au NPs have easily entered and accumulated into the cytosol and nucleus to exert

* The free radical scavenging activity under in vitro conditions is found to be higher for the Ag NPs when compared to the Au NP.

*  A strong cytotoxic effect (both nanoparticles (NPs)) exerted )mediated through nuclear morphological changes and DNA damage.

* The activation (both nanoparticles (NPs)) of inflammatory and apoptosis pathways. More precisely, both nanoparticles (NPs) regulated the mRNA and protein expression of caspase-3 and caspase-7, TNF-α, and NF-κB for the induction of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis and inflammatory pathways in Ag NP- and Au NP-treated cells.

* The activity of speeding up would healing.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "Nonetheless, both Ag NPs and Au NPs show potential ... biological synthesis... on cancer and wound healing".
Taken altogether, cabbage may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of fibrosarcoma, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.



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

Omega -3 Fatty Acids Inhibits the Prevalent Factors Involved in the Onset of colorectal cancer

By Kyle J. Norton


Cancer is a class of diseases associated with irregular cell growth in the tissue of organs.

The colon-rectum formed a part of the digestive system is involved in the absorption of water from the small bowel contents and broken down of certain materials in the feces into substances of which some of them to be reabsorbed and reused by the body.

Colorectal cancer is a medical condition caused by cell growth irregularly in the tissue of the colon or rectum due to the alternation of cells DNA, including

*Rectal cancer is the slowest growing cancer. Therefore, most cases of rectal cancer are diagnosed at the advanced stage in the older population.

* Colon cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing in a predictable way.

Most cases of primary colon cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the colon. At the early stage. most patients with colon cancer do not experience any symptoms.

The common type of colorectal cancer are adenocarcinomas, originated in epithelium tissues and squamous cells that make up the bowel lining together with the gland cells, 

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in the US, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women compared to other types of cancer.

The lifetime risk of colorectal cancer is 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.

Approximately, 140,000 cases of colorectal cancer were diagnosed in the US in 2018. Colorectal cancer also causes the death of over 50, 000 people, representing 8.3% of total cancer death.

Being overweight or obese. smoking, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol drinking, the increased in age, family and personal history, genetic preposition are some of the prevalent risks of the disease.

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 clonic diseases, researchers examined omega-3 PUFAs influences on DNA methylation level in colorectal cancer (CRC) rat model.

According to the tested analysis of N-methyl phosphite nitrourea and omega-3, PUFAs fed to the rats during tumor induction, tumor incidence in omega-3 treated rats was much lower than in CRC model rats.
In other words, omega-3 PUFAs process anti colorectal cancer property.

More precisely, 6 PUFA members categorized to omega-3 and omega-6 families showed similar activity in lowering the ratio of omega-6/omega-3 PUFAs in the omega-3 PUFAs treatment group than in the CRC model group.

Interestingly, the normal cytosine nucleotide DNA (5 mC) content, in omega-3 PUFAs treated rats was higher than in CRC model rats. These results suggested that omega-3 PUFAs promoted 5 mC synthesis.

Where 5mC oxidation reaction is mutated in human tumors.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "omega-3 PUFAs probably inhibited tumor growth via regulating DNA methylation process, which provided a novel anticancer mechanism of omega-3 PUFAs from epigenetic view".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer, 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.

Herbal Angelica Sinensis Promotes the KidneyFunction Against Diabetic Renal Damage

By Kyle J. Norton

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

The actual causes of diabetes are debatable. As researchers do not know why some people without genetic mutations are susceptible to disease development, while others do not.
Diabetic nephropathy (Dn) is a chronic kidney disease in diabetics, a leading cause of end-stage renal failure.

Epidemiologically, diabetic nephropathy is also associated with cardiovascular disease and increases the mortality of diabetic patients.

Metabolic and hemodynamic alterations, oxidative stress, and activation of the renin-angiotensin system are some of the risk factors that have been found in patients with Dn.

The most common causes of diabetic renal damage are associated with hyperglycemia, abnormally uncontrolled or fail to manage high blood sugar in the blood.

Long-term unmanaged hyperglycemia can damage the part of the kidneys thus reducing the kidney function in filter waste from the blood filters, leading to 'leaky' syndrome that allows protein into your urine.

Diabetic renal inflammation is a condition associated with inflammation in the development of diabetic nephropathy.

Inflammation is a natural defense of the immune system that protects the body against the insult from the foreign invasion.

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

However, if the immune system can not completely destroy all invaders in the acute phase of infection, it will compromise, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, a major cause of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and diabetes.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of renal diseases, scientists examined the effects and mechanisms of an arabinoglucan (AG) isolated from Angelica sinensis on DN, which was induced in rats by streptozotocin.

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.

According to the results of intraperitoneally AG for 8 weeks in tested rats,* Diabetic rats exhibited renal dysfunction evidenced by reduced creatinine clearance, increased blood urea nitrogen and proteinuria, along with marked enhanced mesangial expansion. All of these abnormalities were reversed by the AG.

* Furthermore, overproliferation of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) was halted by AG treatment, and inflammation mediators were attenuated.

* the AG significantly inhibited the expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) associated with oxidative stress, both in diabetic kidneys and in high glucose-induced GMCs.

* Moreover, AG can also directly interact with RAGE and disrupt RAGE binding to advanced glycation end products using microscale thermophoresis.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, "AG, acting as a RAGE antagonist, is a promising agent for the prevention and treatment of DN".

Taken altogether, Angelica sinensis may be considered a remedy for the protection of diabetic renal damage, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Ashwagandha Inhibits the Onset of Progression of HIV Infection

By Kyle J. Norton


Human immunodeficiency virus -1 (HIV-1) is one of 2 types of HIV precipitated of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), transmitted through direct contact with HIV-infected body fluids, including blood, semen, and genital secretions,...

Human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 is the most widespread type worldwide that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic condition caused by the infection of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

According to the statistic, AIDS is the fifth leading cause of death in the US.

People between ages 25 and 44 in the United States are at substantially higher risk compared to other age groups.

Approximately 36.7 million people worldwide living with HIV/AIDS in 2016, including, 2.1 million children less than 15 years of age.

According to epidemiological studies, people who serval sexual partners are the most at risk of HIV infection.

However, the virus can also transmit through infected blood transfusion, infected mother to children.

Most people infected by the HIV virus may experience symptoms of fever, muscle aches and joint pain similar to those of influenza in the early stage of the viral attacks.

According to epidemiological studies, people who have serval sexual partners are the most at risk of HIV infection.

However, the virus can also transmit through infected blood transfusion, infected mother to children.

If untreated, the virus will slowly multiply and destroy the cells of the immune system, leading to chronic signs and symptoms of fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes,...

If an infected individual has the numbers of T-cell count below 200, the person is considered to have AIDs.

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 he 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 prevention of infectious diseases, researchers examined the clinical efficacy and safety of a new polyherbal preparation, Immu-25, in HIV-infected patients.

The open-label pilot study. included 36 patients (10 female, 26 male) with a mean age of 35 +/-10 years, with confirmed HIV infection with a CD4 count <500 cells/microL, received two capsules of the test drug twice daily for 18 months.

According to the results of the study, the polyherbal preparation produced good symptomatic improvement within 6 months with an increase in mean (95% CI) weight from 58 (53-64)kg to 63 (56-69)kg, 64 (58-72)kg and 68 (62-74)kg after 6, 12 and 18 months of treatment, respectively.

The application decreased the incidence and severity of symptoms such as diarrhea, fatigue, anorexia, cough, and fever in the participants.

Furthermore, there was a decrease in the mean (95% CI) viral load from 326 438 (428 600-186 420) copies/mL to 180 495 (258 300-124 000) copies/mL and 22 069 (42 100-16 000) copies/mL after 6 and 12 months of treatment, respectively.

Most importantly, the decrease in viral load was associated with an increase in mean (95% CI) CD4 count from a baseline of 243 (203-388) cells/microL to 336 (263-486) cells/microL after 6 months of therapy, and this continued to rise to 527 (285-767) cells/microL (p < 0.001) and 618 (362-1012) cells/microL (p < 0.001) after 12 and 18 months of treatment, respectively.

However, mild gastrointestinal adverse effects had been reported by some of the participants.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "herbal drug may have a good immunomodulatory effect and has potential as a co-therapeutic agent in the management of HIV infection. Further studies are warranted to confirm its therapeutic potential".

Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of HIV infection, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Dandelion(Taraxacum officinale) Prevents the Risk of Impaired Immune Function, According to Study

By Kyle J. Norton

An immune system is a system of biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease by identifying and killing pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc. and tumor cells, including irregular cells growth, cancer cells to keep us healthy.

In most cases, the immune system does a great job of keeping people healthy and preventing infections. But sometimes problems with the immune system can lead to illness and infection.

It is one of the body's defense system against diseases.

Although the immune system has done a great job in protecting us against foreign invasion, unfortunately, during the process of their functions, they may induce the production of free radicals and chain of free radicals that can be harmful to our body.

Immune dysfunction is a chronic condition, depending on the parts of the immune system affected.

There are 2 types of immune dysfunction
* The underactive immune system is also known as the weakened immune system. People with the underactive immune system are susceptible to infection, recurrent infections.

The most common symptoms of the underactive immune system are infection including frequent and recurrent pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus infections, ear infections, meningitis or skin infections and Inflammation and infection of internal organs.

However, blood disorders, such as low platelet counts or anemia and digestive dysfunction are also some of the common symptoms found in patients with the underactive immune system.

* The overactive immune system is also known as autoimmune diseases. In this case, patients suffer diseases associated with the immune system that attacks the body tissues.

An impaired immune system is a condition in which the immune system does not work properly and can't effectively protect a person against infection. 

Medical conditions with the use of immune suppression can weaken or impair the immune system.

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 the immune system, scientists examined the 6 kinds of Chinese traditional herbs on the restoration of the suppressed immune functions in scald mice.

Polygonum cuspidatum, Taraxacum officinale, and Oidenlandia diffusa (wild) roxb showed immunomodulating effects as measured with 3 immunological parameters.

Furthermore, all tested herbal medicine demonstrated a strong effect on cell-mediated, humoral and non-specific immunity, compared to the depressed immune system in the control non-treated scald mice in various degrees.

More importantly, the immunomodulatory effects are varied according to the dosage of drugs.

Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered an antioxidant remedy for the improvement of the immune functioning, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cranberry, the Prebiotic and Anti-Bacterial Functional Food

By Kyle J. Norton

Compared to probiotics, prebiotics are compound in food that induces the growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms in the gut.

In other definition, they are special forms of dietary fiber that act as fertilizers to promote the growth of good bacteria in your gut.

In the gastrointestinal tract, prebiotics can alter the composition of organisms in the gut microbiome.

In other words, prebiotics raises the levels of healthy bacteria against bad bacteria.

Gut microbiota is a complex community with over trillion microorganisms that live in our digestive tracts.

In healthy individuals, the ratio of good and bad microorganisms is balanced. In other words, healthy gut microbiota levels maintain the structure and function of the gastrointestinal tract.

In fact, a balanced ratio of gut microbiota plays a critical role in the digestion of certain foods that the stomach and small intestine have not been able to digest, in the production vitamins, improvement of digestive functioning and modulation of the immune function.

The use of antibiotics has been found to damage the gut ecosystem, leading to certain chronic illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, cancer, and autism.

Further, the unbalanced ratio of gut microbiota functions also alters immune homeostasis, leading to the onset of autoimmune disorders which in turn can induce intestinal and systemic autoimmune diseases.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of digestive diseases researchers investigated the cranberry prebiotic or antimicrobial effect on gut microbiota.

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

According to the results of the analysis, cranberry extracts and whole cranberry powder showed a strong activity that broadly modulates the gut microbiota by reducing the abundance of Enterobacteriaceae and increasing the abundance of Bacteroidaceae.

In other words, cranberry extracts and whole cranberry powder improved the ratio of gut microbiota by increasing the population of good bacteria and reducing the numbers of bad bacteria.

In a gut simulator, more precisely, salicylate found in cranberry showed a major contribution to reduce levels of Enterobacteriaceae and elevated Bacteroidaceae in a dose-dependent manner.

Taken altogether, cranberry combined with other herbal medicine may be considered a prebiotic and antimicrobial remedy for the treatment of digestive diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
