In seeking a natural therapy with no side effects, scientists may have a herbal remedy for normalizing blood pressure, according to studies.
Hypertension is a chronic condition caused by abnormally high blood pressure.
High blood pressure is a condition of a cluster of metabolic syndrome associated with the increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood.
In high blood pressure individuals, due to the elevated blood pressure in your arteries, the heart has to work harder than normal to pump blood through the blood vessels.
In low blood pressure individuals, the reduced blood pressure in the arteries drops can cause the heart to pump blood at a slower rate than normal.
According to the standard guidelines, the levels of blood pressure is normal if it is more than 120 over 80 and less than 140 over 90 (120/80-140/90).
People with blood pressure lower than 120/80 are considered normal without being accompanied by symptoms of light-head or dizziness.
According to the statistics provided by the CDC, in the U.S. 29% or 100 million of adults have hypertension during 2015–2016 and hypertension prevalence increased with age and was 33.2% among those aged 40–59 and 63.1% among those aged 60 and over.
Honey, the rich golden liquid is a miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The liquid is considered one of the healthy food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.
Researchers in the course of finding a natural ingredient for the treatment of high blood pressure investigated the safety and effect of intrapulmonary administration (by inhalation) of 60 % honey solution, 10% dextrose, or distilled water in normal or diabetic subjects.
Twenty-four healthy subjects, 16 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and six patients with hypertension were selected to participate in the study.
Twelve healthy subjects were subjected to distilling water inhalation for 10 min, and after one week they received inhalation of honey solution (60% wt/v) for 10 min. Another 12 healthy subjects received inhalation of 10% dextrose for 10 min.
Honey treatment showed a mild reduction of blood pressure compared to no change in another group.
From a time perspective, systolic and diastolic blood pressure was reduced by honey inhalation in hypertensive patients at 60 and 120 min.
After taking into account co and confounders, researchers said, "Honey inhalation was safe and effective in reducing...elevated blood pressure in hypertensive patients".
Moreover, in order to obtain more information on honey antihypertensive activity, researchers investigated the aqueous extract obtained from the mixture of the fresh leaf of Persea Americana, stems, and a fresh leaf of Cymbopogon citratus, fruits of Citrus medica, and honey on ethanol and sucrose-induced hypertension in rats.
Rats included in the study were divided into eight groups of 6 rats each and daily treated for 5 weeks. The control group received distilled water (1 mL/kg) while rats of groups 2, 3, and 4 received ethanol 40 degrees (3 g/kg/day), 10% sucrose as drinking water, and the two substances respectively.
The remaining groups received additional sucrose and ethanol, the aqueous extract (50, 100, and 150 mg/kg) and nifedipine (10 mg/kg) respectively.
The group treated with ethanol and sucrose showed a significant (p < 0.001) increased blood pressure and heart rate compared to distilled water-treated rats.
Chronic treatment of ethanol and sucrose also exerted a significantly decreased the activities of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host, observed by the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) and elevated levels of oxidative stress observed by the stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) levels.
However, administration of the aqueous extract or nifedipine prevented all changes caused by chronic ethanol and sucrose, including hemodynamic, biochemical, oxidative, and histological impairments.
The finding clearly suggested that aqueous extract including honey possesses antihypertensive activity through the improvement of biochemical and oxidative status, through its antioxidant property.
Taken altogether, honey used alone or combined with other herbs may be considered anti-hypertension functional remedies with no side effects, pending the confirmation of a large sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Beta-Sitosterol Processes Anti-Hyperglycemia and Anti-Diabetes Activity
By Kyle J. Norton
Diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas die off or receptor sites are 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 in the pancreas.
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.
Unlike type 2 diabetes, patients with LADA do not respond well to seems to lifestyle and medication as in type-2 diabetes in the long term. Medicine used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes does not halt or slow the progression of loss of pancreas beta cells.

Hyperglycemia, a medical condition of abnormally high blood glucose, is a major concern, in people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
According to the results from the study of 21 days of treatment with BS (10, 15, and 20 mg/kg, p.o.) on blood, serum, in control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats that were divided into 9 experimental groups, including a control group, a diabetic group, and BS- and glibenclamide-treated diabetic groups.
All application doses dependently showed a decrease of glycated hemoglobin, serum glucose, and nitric oxide, with concomitant increases in serum insulin levels.
In other words, β-sitosterol (BS), exerted anti-hyperglycemic activity to protect the diabetics against complications caused by improper management of high blood glucose in a dose depending manner.
Moreover, treatment with BS doses also increased pancreatic antioxidant levels against the pancreatic oxidative stress-induced the death of beta cells with a concomitant decrease in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances.
Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of diabetes, pending 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.

Phytochemical Quercetin Found in Onion in the Inhibition of Angiogenesis, Researchers Say
By Kyle J. Norton
Angiogenesis is the process that promotes the formation of new blood vessels involving many factors including the migration, growth, and differentiation of endothelial cells.
In normal cells, angiogenesis is important for the cells to obtain nutrients and metabolites through the small blood vessels. Angiogenesis has been found to process a therapeutic effect for the treatment of ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, and wound healing.
Dr. Papetti M, the lead scientist at the Tufts University School of Medicine said, "Normal angiogenesis ensures that developing or healing tissues receive an adequate supply of nutrients".
In cancers, angiogenesis stimulated by the tumor cells has been associated with tumor proliferation and metastasis.
More precisely, the angiogenesis process function as a double sword, on one hand, the process provides an ideal condition for the treatment of diseases and wound healing. On the other hand, it promotes invasive and overgrowth tumors.
Dr. Papetti M continued, "tumor cells induce the formation of new blood supply from the preexisting vasculature, and this affords tumor cells the ability to survive and propagate in a hostile environment"
Collectively, " both normal and tumor-induced neovascularization fulfill the essential role of satisfying the metabolic demands of tissue".
Based on the findings some researchers suggested, by inhibiting the process of blood vessels formation of the tumor, cancer may be curable.
Dr. Dai X, the lead researcher in the study of "Suppression of murine B-cell lymphoma growth by trichosanthin through anti-angiogenesis" showed, "trichosanthin TCS, ( an immunosuppressive and anti-tumor protein) inhibits murine B-cell lymphoma growth by anti-angiogenesis was reported. First, TCS inhibits tumor growth and prolonged survival significantly in vivo, and TCS depressed the formation of new blood vessels around the tumor in a dose-dependent manner".
The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belongings to the family Alliaceae, which a close relation to garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures.
Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild, or sweet.
On finding a potent ingredient that processes anti-cancer activity researchers studied the antiangiogenic activity of quercetin isolated from onion, using ex vivo, in vivo, and in vitro models.
According to the tested differentiation, quercetin at non-toxic concentrations significantly inhibited the microvessel sprouting associated with cancer cell proliferation.
Furthermore, the activity of cancer cell migration, invasion, and tube formation of endothelial cells is involved in the process of angiogenesis.was also significantly decreased by the administration of quercetin.
Quercetin treatment inhibited ex vivo angiogenesis observed by chicken egg chorioallantoic membrane assay (CAM) and matrigel plug assay.
Moreover, quercetin suppressed vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which has been found to induce the formation of a blood vessel for the progression of the tumor.
Additionally, downstream pathways associated with the promotion of survival and growth in response to extracellular signals that induce angiogenesis were also inhibited by quercetin in HUVECs.
Quercetin at the concentration of 20 mg/kg/d significantly reduced the volume and the weight of solid tumors in a prostate xenograft mouse model by targeting angiogenesis.
Quercetin was also found to inhibit cancer cell viability and induced apoptosis in prostate cancer cells.
In other words, quercetin inhibits tumor growth and angiogenesis by targeting the proteins and signaling pathways that initiate the growth of new blood vessels.
Taken altogether, onion processed with a higher amount of quercetin may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Beta-Sitosterol Inhibits the Multi-Factorial Drug-Resistant cancer cells
By Kyle J. Norton
Cancer is a class of chronic and medical conditions caused by the alternation of cell DNA.
Most cases of cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of specific tissues and organs.
At the early stage due to the very small size of the tumor, most cancers are asymptomatic. However, at the advanced stage, cancer only can induce general symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort, unintended weight loss, fatigue, and loss but also lead to specific symptoms, such as localized bleeding and pain, depending on the location of the cancer.
Also, at this stage, primary cancer cells can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis through the circulation of blood and fluids.
Dr. Solyanik GI, in the study of chemo drug resistance, wrote, "Tumor drug resistance (TDR) remains a major obstacle for successful treatment of cancer. Till the ninetieth years of the past century, the resistance of tumors to anticancer drugs was most often ascribed to gene mutations, gene amplification, or epigenetic changes that influence the uptake, metabolism or export of drugs from single cells".
The compound 6, β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside showed a strong effect in inducing cytotoxicity on 9 tested cancer cell lines in a doses-depending manner, depending on the types of cancer.

Also, at this stage, primary cancer cells can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis through the circulation of blood and fluids.
Some cancers can be slow-growth, including prostate and colon cancer. Primary cancer at stages 0 and 1 may not induce any symptoms. However, at the later stage, a larger size tumor can induce specific symptoms depending on the affected organ accompanied by some general symptoms found in all types of cancer.
According to the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society, in the US in 2019, approximately 1,762,450 new cancer cases will be diagnosed and 606,880 deaths as are the result of cancer.
The multifactorial nature of tumor drug resistance refers to the limited ability of cancer drugs to penetrate tumor tissue and reach tumor cells in a potentially lethal concentration to induce toxicity.

Furthermore, compound 6 demonstrated anticancer activity with 1.69 µM against CCRF-CEM cells and 22.06 µM against HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells, compared to 0.02 µM against CCRF-CEM cells to 122.96 µM against CEM/ADR5000 cells for doxorubicin.
Moreover, compound 6 also induced apoptosis mediated by caspases activation associated with cell death programming, MMP alteration in enhancing the ROS production to induce cancer cell cytotoxicity.
Based on the results, researchers said, "... (compound) 6 revealed considerable cytotoxicity and may be suitable candidates deserving to be further explored to develop new anticancer drugs to combat sensitive and resistant phenotypes".
Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of multi-factorial drug-resistant cancers, pending 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.

Elevated Levels of Alpha Tocopherols May Contribute to the Risk of Uterine Fibroids
By Kyle J. Norton
A fibroid is a benign tumor that grows in, on, or outside of the wall of the uterus. If it grows big enough, it may interfere with the implantation of the embryo in the uterus, leading to premature delivery, miscarriage, and increasing the risk of infertility, if they grow near the opening of both Fallopian tubes and distort the shape of uterine captivity.
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that originate in the uterus (womb).
Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common symptom of a fibroid. If the mass of the fibroids is near the uterine lining or interferes with the blood flow to the lining, they can cause heavy periods, painful periods, prolonged periods, or spotting between menses.
According to the statistics from the information on government of women's health, approximately 20 percent to 80 percent of women develop fibroids by the time they reach age 50.
Higher BMI, positive family history, and low parity were found to be major risk factors for UFs.

According to the statistic from National Uterine Fibroid Foundations, approximately 80% of all women have uterine fibroids with the majority usually having no symptoms. Every 10 minutes, 12 hysterectomies are performed in the United States alone.
Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common symptom of a fibroid. If the mass of the fibroids is near the uterine lining or interferes with the blood flow to the lining, they can cause heavy periods, painful periods, prolonged periods, or spotting between menses.
Fibroids are the most common reproductive diseases in women in their 40s and early 50s. Some women with fibroids are asymptomatic.
In other words, high levels of alpha-tocopherol (AT) are associated with an increased risk of UFs.
The common symptoms of uterine fibroids are
* Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Vaginal bleeding between periods within inappropriate amounts of blood flow should be checked with the doctor as soon as possible. It may be caused by the expansion of overgrowth of pre-cancer uterine lining cells infection or breaking off the endometrial capillaries or blood vessels.
*Increased amount of vaginal discharge
An increase in the amount of vaginal discharge accompanied by abnormal odor or pain, itching, or burning sensation may be caused by infection or inflammation.
* Painful urination
Painful urination, most of the time is caused by an infection of the urinary tract that affects the bladder emptying, but sometimes it can be caused by infectious diseases and may be an indication of pre-endometrial cancer.
* Pain during sex
Most of the time is caused by vestibulitis and vaginismus sex, but in some cases, it can be caused by cancer or other reproductive diseases.
* Pain in the abdomen
There are many reproductive diseases that can cause pain in the pelvis, such as appendicitis, salpingitis, uterine descensus, etc. but it can be caused by the early stage of endometrial cancer.
A total of 162 patients who participated in the study were divided into 2 groups: with UFs and controls.
According to the UFs confirmed on ultrasound and controls, the levels of AT serum concentrations were 11.66 ± 4.97 μg/ml and 7.83 ± 3.13 μg/ml (medians 10.56 μg/ml and 7.42 μg/ml).

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belongings 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 diseases associated with reproductive organs in women, researchers examined the effects of tocopherols on uterine fibroids (UFs).
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of diseases associated with reproductive organs in women, researchers examined the effects of tocopherols on uterine fibroids (UFs).
Higher BMI, positive family history, and low parity were found to be major risk factors for UFs.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "Elevated serum AT concentration might be an important risk factor for UFs in Caucasian women. Further research in this area is necessary".
Taken altogether, alpha tocopherols may induce uterine fibroids, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of alpha tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Omega-3 Fatty Acids Inhibits the Ovarian Cancer Cells In Vitro
By Kyle J. Norton
Cancer is a class of chronic disease caused by irregular cell growth in the tissue or specific organ in the body due to the alternation of cell 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.
The ovaries are oval-shaped ovum-producing reproductive organs formed part of women's reproductive system that connects to the fallopian tubes and attaches to the outer layer of the uterus via the ovarian ligament. Usually, the left and right ovaries take a turn releasing an egg every month.
In other words, the main functions of the ovary play a critical role in producing oocytes (eggs) for fertilization and reproductive growth hormones, estrogen, and progesterone.
According to the statistics, ovarian cancer is one of the fifth most common cancer, accounting for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system in the US.
The lifetime risk of getting ovarian cancer in a woman is about 1 in 78. compared to the lifetime of dying from ovarian cancer risk of 1 in 108.
The exact causes of ovarian cancer are not identified. However, epidemiological studies suggested that women who have endometriosis, genetic preposition such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene, and acquired genetic mutation such as the TP53 tumor suppressor gene are susceptible to the substantial risk of the development of the disease.
Besides sharing the common symptoms of other types of cancer, most ovarian cancer patients may experience symptoms of discomfort in the pelvic area, and changes in bowel habits, such as constipation. and a frequent need to urinate.
According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, in Canada, the 5-year net survival for ovarian cancer is 45%.
In other words, on average, 45% of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will survive for at least 5 years.
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 cancer, researchers investigated the effect of OM-3FAs on epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines.
According to the results of 3 epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines (SKOV-3 [p53 null], TOV-21G [wt p53], and OVCAR-3 [mutant p53]) and one immortalized ovarian surface epithelial cell line (IOSE-29 [wt p53]) treated with OM-3FAs, OM-3FAs showed a statistically significant inhibitory effect in all four cell lines.
Furthermore, in the p53 null and mutant cell lines, SKOV-3 and OVCAR-3, the application of OM-3FAs showed inhibitory activity without inducing apoptosis and down-regulated expression of VEGF.
However, the apoptosis and/or VEGF down-regulation was strongly evident in the wt p53 cell lines TOV-21G and IOSE-29.
Collectively, researchers said, "under the influence of OM-3FAs, there are definitive growth-suppressive mechanisms at work and that the biologic effects of OM-3FAs may in part be mediated by the p53 status".
Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the treatment of ovarian cancer, pending 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.

Beta-Sitosterol Improves the Intestinal Cholesterol Absorption
By Kyle J. Norton
Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is produced either by the liver or injected from animal food sources.
Cholesterol found in our body is needed to build cell walls, hormones, and vitamin D, and create bile salts that aid digestion. However, too much of them, in most cases due to the intake of animal protein can cause plaques to build up on the arterial wall, the major cause of heart disease and stroke.
More precisely, if levels of low-density lipoprotein are high compared to high-density lipoprotein which returns the accessed cholesterol back to the liver, you have high blood cholesterol.
Lipid metabolism is the breakdown of lipids in cells for energy.
The intestines formed part of the digestive system including the small and large intestines are long, continuous tubes running from the stomach to the anus.
In the membranes from animals fed 1% beta-sitosterol and 1% cholesterol, beta-sitosterol content showed an increase of 50% whereas cholesterol was modestly decreased compared to their controls fed only cholesterol.
Furthermore, animals fed 1% beta-sitosterol, did not interfere with the stimulation of ACAT activity secondary to cholesterol enrichment of the membranes.
Most importantly, freshly isolated intestinal cells incubated for 1 hour with [(3)H]oleic acid and beta-sitosterol: DPPC or 25-hydroxycholesterol: DPPC incorporation of oleic acid into cholesteryl esters did not change in the presence of beta-sitosterol but increased fourfold after the addition of 25-hydroxycholesterol, an indication of improved immune functioning.

Lipid metabolism is the breakdown of lipids in cells for energy.
The intestines formed part of the digestive system including the small and large intestines are long, continuous tubes running from the stomach to the anus.
The small intestine demonstrated 90% of the digestion and absorption of food compared to only 10% in the stomach and large intestine.
More precisely, the large intestine not only plays an essential in the recovery of water and electrolytes, formation, but also storage of feces and fermentation of some of the indigestible food matter by bacteria.
The intestinal cholesterol absorption includes two main phases, according to Medscape, "The first takes place in the lumen and involves digestion and hydrolysis of dietary lipids followed by solubilization of cholesterol in mixed micelles containing bile acid and phospholipids. This solubilization facilitates the movement of cholesterol from the bulk phase of the lumen to the surface of the enterocyte".
More precisely, the large intestine not only plays an essential in the recovery of water and electrolytes, formation, but also storage of feces and fermentation of some of the indigestible food matter by bacteria.
And, "In the second phase, cholesterol crosses the mucosal cell membrane by simple diffusion, and probably by facilitated diffusion as well".
Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, and buckwheat. etc.
In finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention of diseases involving hyper cholesterol researchers investigated the anti-hyper cholesterol activity of β-sitosterol (BSS).
The study included rabbits that were fed either 10% coconut oil, 10% coconut oil and 1% beta-sitosterol, 10% coconut oil, and 1% cholesterol, or 10% coconut oil and 1% beta-sitosterol plus 1% cholesterol for 4 weeks.
According to the results of the experiment,
* Microsomal membranes from the intestines of animals fed the 1% beta-sitosterol diet had 48% less cholesterol compared to membranes from animals fed the coconut oil diet.
* The acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity that forms cholesteryl esters from cholesterol in jejunum and ileum was decreased significantly in animals fed the plant sterol alone.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "the CoA-dependent esterification rate of cholesterol is at least 60 times greater than that of beta-sitosterol. Membrane beta-sitosterol does not interfere with nor competes with cholesterol esterification"
And "Inadequate esterification of this plant sterol may play a role in the poor absorption of beta-sitosterol by the gut.".
Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the improvement of intestinal cholesterol absorption, pending 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.
