Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), the Anti High Blood Cholesterol Herbal Medicine

By Kyle J. Norton


Hyperlipidemia is abnormally high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream. The syndrome is a member of the cluster conditions of metabolic syndrome, a leading cause of cardiovascular disease.

The condition is normally known as high blood cholesterol in the general population.


People with hyperlipidemia are asymptomatic. Over time, the fat collection in the arteries accompanied by calcium or other substances form plague, leading to narrowing arteries and reduced function of the arteries to transport oxygen-rich blood to the parts of the body.

According to the statistics provided by the CDC, in 2015–2016, more than 12% of adults age 20 and older had total cholesterol higher than 240 mg/dL, and more than 18% had high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good”) cholesterol levels less than 40 mg/dL.

Believe it or not, about half of the U.S. adults (55%, or 43 million) are currently taking medicine associated with lower blood cholesterol.

Hypolipidemic activity is the process that lowers the levels of blood cholesterol used for the treatment of hyperlipidemia.

Cholesterol, a waxy substance produced either by the liver or food intake plays a critical role in the production of vitamin D, steroid hormones and the building of the cell walls.

Overexpression cholesterol is a medical condition that causes plaque accumulated on the arterial wall, leading to narrowing the arteries in transport the oxygenated blood to the parts of the body.

In severe cases, it can cause blood flow blockage, leading to chronic ailments depending on the location of the blood clot.

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 treatment of high blood cholesterol, scientists examined the hypolipidemic effects of dandelion root and leaf in rabbits fed with a high-cholesterol diet.

28 male rabbits selected to the study were divided into four subgroups; a normal diet group, a high-cholesterol diet group, a high-cholesterol diet with a 1% (w/w) dandelion leaf group, and a high-cholesterol diet with 1% (w/w) dandelion root group.

Based on the results of the experiment, dandelion root and leaf groups showed a positively changed plasma antioxidant enzyme activity against lipid peroxidation and lipid profiles in cholesterol-fed rabbits.

Moreover, both dandelion root and leaf treatment groups demonstrated potentially hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects against lipid oxidation.

More importantly, dandelion root and leaf protected against oxidative stress-induced plagues formation that linked atherosclerosis and decreased the atherogenic index.

Taken altogether, dandelion may be considered a remedy for the treatment of high blood cholesterol, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Oleanolic acid, the Promising Anti Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Release and Antioxidant Defense Phytochemical

By Kyle J. Norton

Inflammation is a natural immune response involving the stimulated production of pro-inflammatory activity with a target to protect our body against foreign invasions such as virus and bacteria after injury and damage.

In the acute phase of infection, the immune white blood cells in the first line of defense stimulating the blood vessel constriction and palette accumulated to the injury area to cover the wound and the proteins associated with the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines to kill off the invasive microorganisms.

In other words, pro-inflammatory cytokines are activated through systematic immune response to the damage cells which release chemicals including histamine, bradykinin, and prostaglandins to protect the injure area or location against infection, leading to blood vessels to leak fluid into the tissues, causing swelling and other symptoms such as pain, swelling, and redness.

However, in most cases, over-response of the immune system can lead to over expressions of certain pro-inflammatory cytokines, depending on the injured location such as Interleukin (IL)-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) which can lead shock and death of healthy cells in the infectious location.

In most cases, long-term overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines can lead to chronic inflammatory disease as the immune system no longer can kill the invasive agents and heal the damage caused by acute infection.

Antioxidants are stable atom that plays a critical role in protecting the body against the attack of free radicals.

Antioxidants can either produced by the liver or intake from dietary sources. Under normal conditions, antioxidant enzymes produced by the body in a healthy individual are good enough to counter the bombardment of free radical attacks.

However, in people with a weakened immune system, intake dietary sources of antioxidants may be necessary.

There are 3 main types of antioxidants found in nature, including
* Antioxidant enzymes produced by the host, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and catalases.

* Antioxidants vitamins, that may be injected from the dietary sources such as fruits and vegetables, including vitamins A, C, D, and E. Most antioxidant vitamins are considered free radical scavengers that gobble up free radicals before they can induce a cascade of damage.

* Antioxidant Phytochemicals found in the plant including second metabolites.

Oleanolic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belonging to the group of Terpenes found abundantly in honey mesquite, garlic, java apple, clove, etc.

On finding a potential plant that processes neuroprotective activity researchers examined the effect of oleanolic acid, a natural triterpene present in food and medicinal plants on chronic microglial overactivation related neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease.

According to the results of the analysis,
* Oleanolic acid (OA), attenuated the activation of BV2 microglial cells involved in neurodegeneration, toxicology, and immune inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

* OA exerted a strong antioxidant defense in the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines by blocking the release of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and NO and the expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS).

More precisely, OA inhibited the onset of oxidative stress and inflammatory response in activated microglia associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Taken altogether, Oleanolic acid may be considered a remedy for inhibiting cytokine release and upregulated the antioxidant defense systems in AD,  pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Collard Greens' Sulforaphane (SFN), Protects the Neuron Against Neurodegenerative Diseases

By Kyle J. Norton

 Dementia is the loss of mental ability that is severe enough to interfere with people's every life and Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia in aging people.

American typical diet contains a high amount of saturated and trans fat, artificial ingredients with fewer fruits and vegetable which can lead to dementia and other kinds of diseases.

About 5-8% of all people over the age of 65 have some form of dementia, and this number doubles every five years above that age.

Neuroprotection an action involved the use of a natural substance to protect the integrity of neurons against damage or death.

In other words, neuroprotection is the process to protect brain functioning.

Neurodegenerative diseases are a class of conditions associated with the progressive loss of neurons in the brain caused by several mechanisms, including toxicity and oxygen deficiency.

Most common disease associated with neurodegenerative diseases is dementia, a cluster of conditions included Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Huntington’s disease, leading to a negative influence the body's functioning, including balance, movement, talking, breathing, and heart function.

There is no single cause of the progressive death of brain neurons. Epidemiologically, genetic preposition, medical condition, such as alcoholism, brain cancer or a stroke in the brain are some of the most common prevalent factors found in patients with neurological diseases

A prolonged period of toxins, toxic chemicals accumulated that affects the brain function also have a strong impact to induce the onset of the disease.

Symptoms of neurotoxicity are totally depending on the degree of toxicity. Some symptoms may take some time to develop. However, in most cases, symptoms may appear immediately after exposure.

Depending on the area and location of neuron damage, weakness or numbness, loss of memory, vision, headache change of cognitive and behavioral and sexual dysfunction are the most common symptoms found in people with neurotoxicity.

According to the WHO, neurological disorders, ranging from epilepsy to Alzheimer's disease, from stroke to headache, affect up to one billion people worldwide.

Sulforaphane (SFN), a phytochemical found abundantly in the species of Brassica Oleracea, belongings to the family Brassicaceae with unknown origin.

On finding a potential plant for the prevention of dementia, researchers examined the neuroprotective effects of isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SFN), and erucin (ERN) isolated from collard greens.

According to the tested analysis, in the comparison of the neuroprotective effects of SFN and ERN in SH-SY5Y cells.at the same dose level (5 μM) with oxidative stress induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), the pretreatment of the SH-SY5Y cells with SFN showed a significant increase of the levels of active nuclear Nrf2 protein associated with the expression of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host.

Furthermore, pretreatment of SFN not only improved the levels of total GSH (antioxidants) but also protected the neuron against apoptosis elicited by 6-OHDA compared to ERN.

Interestingly, the simultaneous treatment of SH-SY5Y cells with either SFN or ERN and 6-OHDA showed similarly neuroprotective effects as those of pretreatment of SFN.

Similar results were also found in the mouse model.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "The metabolic oxidation of ERN to SFN could account for their similar neuroprotective effects in vivo, raising the possibility of using vegetables containing a precursor of ERN for systemic antioxidant benefits in a similar manner to SFN".

Taken altogether, phytochemical SFN phytochemicals may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Ashwagandha Protects the Kidneys Against Nephrotoxicity

By Kyle J. Norton

Kidneys are the bean-shaped organs located below the rib cage, one on each side of your spine with a function to filter out blood and remove waste through urinary secretion.

The kidney plays a critical in maintaining the levels of fluids in the body, by removing extra fluids to make urine.

Furthermore, the kidney also regulates electrolytes, blood pressure, maintains acid-base balance, produces hormone calcitriol, renin, and erythropoietin.

Nephrotoxicity or acute kidney failure is a condition of toxicity in the kidneys.

The disease is caused by a poisonous effect of prolonged use of certain medications and the accumulation of harmful chemicals.

According to the American physician association, long term use of penicillins, cephalosporins, sulfonamides, thiazide diuretics, furosemide, NSAIDs and rifampicin are associated to increase damage to the kidney.

And people with age over 60 are at increased risk of nephrotoxicity if the above medicines are prescribed for prolonged periods.

Continuously, the association wrote, "Drug-induced nephrotoxicity tends to be more common among certain patients and in specific clinical situations" and " Drugs cause approximately 20 percent of community-and hospital-acquired episodes of acute renal failure".

If you experience symptoms of decreased urine output,.fluid retention that causes legs, ankles or feet. swelling,.... and shortness of breath, you may have acute kidney failure, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.

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.

On finding a potent compound that processes anti Nephrotoxic activity, researchers examined the nephroprotective effect of W. coagulans extract and its modulatory effects against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

The experiment included rat induced nephrotoxicity by a single dose of cisplatin (6 mg/kg, intraperitoneal). treated by W. coagulans fruit extract at different doses.

According to the tested differentiation, Withaferin A at 3.56 mg/g of W. coagulans fruit extract significantly inhibited the rise in serum urea and creatinine level and also protected the rat kidneys against oxidative stress and free radical-induced DNA damage. 

Furthermore, the extracts also protected kidney cells' integrity by eliminating parameters associated with kidney toxicity against tubular swelling, cellular necrosis, and protein cast deposition in cisplatin-treated kidney tissues by enhancing the production of antioxidants such as glutathione content, activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. 

Most importantly, the extract in a dose of 400 mg/kg restored all parameters to near-normal levels.

Based on the results, researchers suggested, "It can be justified that W. coagulans possess dose-dependent protective effect against cisplatin-induced kidney damages, primarily through its free radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory activity".

Taken altogether, Ashwagandha processed abundantly Withaferin A may be considered a functional herb for the prevention nephrotoxicity, pending to the result of larger sample size and multicenter study

Omega-3 Fatty Acids May Be Used for the Treatment of Eating Disorders

By Kyle J. Norton

Eating Disorders are a group of abnormal eating habits associated with a person's preoccupation weight, involving either insufficient or excessive food intake.

Eating disorders can be classified into

* Anorexia nervosa is a type of eating disorder usually develop in the teen years and affect over 90% of female, because of excessive food restriction and irrational fear to become fat due to the wrongly influenced media as attractiveness is equated to thinness.

* Bulimia nervosa is a medical condition of consuming a large amount of food in a short amount of time or one setting (binge eating), followed by self-induced vomiting, taking a laxative or diuretic and/or excessive exercise, etc. to compensate for the binge. Bulimia nervosa also affects almost 90% of females. Unlike anorexia nervosa, people suffering from bulimia nervosa are usually normal or slightly overweight.

* Binge eating disorder is a condition of compulsive eating huge amounts of food while feeling out of control and powerless to stop. It is a common eating disorder in the United States affecting 3.5% of females and 2% of males.

Binge eating disorder is different from bulimia, binge eating disorder does not involve self-induced vomit regularly or use other ways to get rid of calories.

The review and update by Haller E. at the University of California indicated Anorexia nervosa is diagnosed when a person refuses to maintain his or her body weight over a minimally normal weight for age and height, such as 15% below that expected, has an intense fear of gaining weight, has a disturbed body image, and, in women, has primary or secondary amenorrhea.

* Obsession with calories and fat content of food and try to avoid eating altogether. They deny hunger and will usually avoid eating around others as well as avoiding situations where food might be present.

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 digestive disorders, researchers evaluated the effects of omega-3 fatty acids as an adjunctive treatment for children and adolescents with eating disorders (EDs).

According to the results of children and adolescents with EDs received omega-3 supplements (300 mg eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and 200 mg docosahexaenoic acid [DHA]/day) for 8 weeks,

* Omega-3 was well tolerated by all participants.

* Compared to baseline, at week 8 there was a significant increase in mean percent ideal body weight but no significant difference in scores on the Inventory-3 (EDI-3), Children's Depression Inventory-2 (CDI-2), and Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC).

Based on the results, researchers concluded, " omega-3 supplements are acceptable and well-tolerated in the pediatric ED population".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the treatment of eating disorders in children and adolescents, 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.

Cabbage in the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

By Kyle J. Norton

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.

Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), similar to type 1 diabetes, is a slow-progressing form of autoimmune diabetes. The disease is caused by the pancreas inability to produce enough insulin, because of slowly die-off of insulin-producing cells.

LADA is also known as type 1.5 diabetes because the disease has characteristics of both type 1 (autoimmune in nature) and type 2 diabetes.

Therefore, LADA shares the same risk factors and symptoms similar to those types 1 and 2 diabetes.

Other types of diabetes are

* Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, the most common form diabetes found in children is a condition in which the pancreas does not produce any insulin. The most common form of type 1 diabetes is caused by genetic mutation and some viruses.

As of today, there is no cure for type 1 diabetes. Treatment is focusing on managing blood sugar levels with insulin injection, diet, and lifestyle change.

* Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose due to either cell in pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.

The most common symptoms of type 2 diabetes are an increased thirst that won't stop with water intake, increased hunger (especially after eating), dry mouth, frequent urination, and unintentional weight loss.

* Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that can occur during pregnancy, affecting between 3% and 20% of pregnant women.

Women with gestational diabetes are at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in later life.


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 treatment of high blood glucose, researchers examined the effect of omental adipocytes, and anthocyanins found in cabbage in the prevention of type 2 diabetes (T2D).

In rodent studies and in studies with isolated omental adipocytes, anthocyanins regulated the carbohydrate metabolism in the body by upregulation of GLUT4 (insulin-regulated glucose transporter) translocation, increased activation of PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ) in adipose tissue and skeletal muscles as well as increased secretion of adiponectin and leptin associated with the risk of T2DM.

Furthermore, omental adipocytes and anthocyanins reduced the inflammation status in the body.

In humans and experimental animals, anthocyanins decreased insulin resistance.

Moreover, anthocyanins also increased the uptake and utilization of glucose by tissues in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and mice and protected pancreatic cells against necrosis.

Anthocyanins also lower glucose levels in the blood after a meal, compared to a meal without them was attributed to the inhibition of intestinal α-glucosidase and pancreatic α-amylase.

Most importantly, anthocyanins improved insulin secretion, which can have a special meaning for people with T2D.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, " The evidence from the presented studies suggests that foods rich in anthocyanins may be one of the diet elements supporting the prevention and treatment of T2D".
Taken altogether, cabbage kimchi may be used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids Prevent the Onset of Fatty Liver in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

A fatty liver is a liver condition associated with the accumulation of excess fat in the liver.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) is the early stage of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) caused by the accumulation of fat in the liver, other than excessive use of alcohol.

In other words, an increase in the biosynthesis of fatty acids is associated with the onset of Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL).

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a type of inflammatory non-alcoholic fatty liver disease caused by excessive fat accumulated in the liver.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is asymptomatic until the condition is developed into cirrhosis, which causes advanced liver scars and reduced the performance of the liver.

In other words, if more than 5% – 10% percent of your liver’s weight is fat, you have a fatty liver (steatosis).

According to the statistics, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of liver disease affecting 100 million people in the US. Out of that number, approximately 20% of people have NASH.

The exact causes of NAFLD are not identified. Some researchers suggested that certain risk factors such as long-term use of certain medications, genetic preposition, insulin resistance, high cholesterol and triglycerides, polycystic ovary syndrome, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes are associated with the onset of the disease.

Some researchers suggested that an unhealthy diet such as the promotion of a high-fat diet in the Western world over the last few decades may also have a strong implication on NAFLD.

Medical conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes are some of the metabolic risk factors that have been found to induce the development of NASH.

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 chronic diseases, researchers examined the effects of tocopherols on fatty liver.

The study included rats that were divided into; first group fed on balanced diet and designated as normal control (NC), second fed on dyslipidemic and steatohepatitis (DS) inducer diet which represented the DS control group and groups 3-6 fed on DS inducer diet with daily oral administration of B, B+T+TC, F, and F+T+TC; respectively for 5 weeks.

According to the analysis,
* Gamma-linolenic to be 21.01% in B. F contained eicosapentaenoic as 22.768% and docosahexaenoic acid as 13.574%.

* The dyslipidemic and steatohepatitis (DS) group showed significant dyslipidemia, elevated malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha and liver fat associated with liver stress, expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and liver fat accumulation, respectively with a significant reduction in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) compared to NC.

* All different treatments showed a significant improvement in all the parameters and histopathology in the DS group.

* Most importantly, F was superior to B in ameliorating liver histopathological changes while B was more efficient in elevating TAC. B was more promising in improving lipid profile and liver fat compared to B + T + TC, while the latter was superior in improving MDA and liver histopathology.

and

* Fish oil was more efficient than F+TC+T except for TAC and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol which were more improved on the addition of TC and T.

After talking about other factors into account, researchers said, "Borage and fish oil with or without antioxidants protect from.... fatty liver diseases with variable degrees".

Taken altogether, omega 3 fatty acids found abundantly in borage and fish oil may be considered adjunct therapies in the treatment of fatty liver, 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.
