Scientists may have found a natural remedy for the treatment of hepatitis C infection with no side effects, according to studies.
Hepatitis C infection is an inflammatory liver disease associated with viral hepatitis C. The viral infection has affected over a million Americans today according to the statistic.
Epidemiological studies suggested that persistent infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major risk for the development of HCC, the fifth most common cancer, and the third most common cause for cancer death in the world.
Contaminated blood and fluids are the most common causes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
Hepatitis C induces liver cancer through many stages including
* The incubation period which lasts about 45 days after exposing to the virus.
* Acute hepatitis, the short-term illness may last about 6 months. Most people can get rid of the virus in this stage, particularly to those with the strong immune system.
* Chronic hepatitis C if you can not get rid of the virus in the acute stage, the immune system will adapt to the new change, leading to chronic liver inflammation by the hep C virus.
* Cirrhosis, the liver scar, normally is formed due to the progression of the inflammation. Cirrhosis can be developed over a period of 20 years, after initial exposure to the virus.
* Liver cancer, the death of liver cells due to overexpression of liver scars.
Dr. Gremion C, the lead scientist in the attempt to explain the risk hepatitis C and immune system, said, "While a persistent infection is generally associated with a weak CD4+ and CD8+ T cell response during the acute phase, there is no good explanation as to why this response is strong enough in 20% of acutely infected people such that they spontaneously resolve the infection".
The results strongly suggested that if you have a strong immune system, your risk of hepatitis C infection can be resolved naturally.
Artichoke is a perennial thistle of Cynara cardunculus species of the Cynara genus, belonging to the family Carduoideae native to Southern Europe around the Mediterranean.
The herbal plant has been used in traditional medicine as a liver protective and detoxified agent, and to treat digestive disorders, abdominal pain gas and bloating, etc.
Researchers on finding a natural ingredient for the treatment of hepatitis C which presently affects millions of people globally examined the traditional use of Egyptian artichoke (WEA) for the treatment of HCV infection and complications.
Injection of water extract from a WEA plant decreased the HCV viral load below the detection level in 12 out of 15 patients. In other words, artichoke exerted strong anti-HCV infection, depending on the state of the severity of the disease.
Furthermore, the water extract normalized the levels of enzymes associated with liver function and damage.
Moreover, The total WEA extract at IC50 ∼ 20 μg ml(-1), inhibited abnormal expression of genes in patients with hepatitis C infection, involving in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids, and other lipids (CYP2B6 (OH-BUP)) and the formation and breakdown (metabolism) of various molecules and chemicals within cells (CYP2C19 (5-OH-OME)).
WEA was found to be more effective in inhibiting hepatitis C infection compared to the Hepar SL Forte(®) due to the presence of sesquiterpenes versus the abundance of phenolic compounds of the Hepar SL Forte(®).
In chemicals analysis, grosheimol and cynaropicrin, isolated from the WEA showed the most inhibitory effect against HCV with half-maximal effective concentrations (EC50s) in the low micromolar range.
Both tested compounds inhibited HCV entry into target cells in both cell-free infections and cell-cell transmission.
Both compounds belong to the group of sesquiterpene lactones which are found in the WEA but not in the Hepar SL Forte(®).
The results clearly supported the use of WEA in traditional use for the treatment of liver viral infection and complications.
Taken altogether, herbal Artichoke may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and treatment of HCV infection, pending the confirmation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Healthyfood #Cabbage Processes Anti Hyperlipidemic Properties in Vivos, According to Studies
By Kyle J. Norton
Hyperlipidemia is a chronic condition caused by abnormally high lipid accumulation in the bloodstream, including high blood cholesterol and fat.
Hyperlipidemia is a condition in the cluster of metabolic syndrome associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Cholesterol produced by the liver or dietary fat intake at a moderate amount plays an essential role to produce steroid hormone and vitamin D, builds strong cell membranes and aids the digestive system in absorbing nutrients and fluids.
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 in the US.
However, overexpression of cholesterol in the blood has been found to induce the forming arterial plaques, leading to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
There are 2 types of blood cholesterol
* The high-density lipoprotein is also known as "good cholesterol" that return cholesterol to the liver for future use
* The low-density lipoprotein is also known as "bad" cholesterol processed a function aforementioned health benefits in a moderate amount.
The healthy ratio of total blood cholesterol ("bad"/ "good") is any numbers that are less than 4.
Patients with hyperlipidemia are asymptomatic. However, over time hyperlipidemia can cause plaque accumulated on the arterial wall, leading to the narrowing arteries and hardening arterial walls in orchestrating the onset of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
Hyperlipidemia is treatable. By a change of diet and daily moderate exercise, you may control the condition without medication.
Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belonging to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. It has a short stem that is crowded with a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.
With an aim to find a potent compound for the treatment of high blood cholesterol, researchers examined the hypolipidemic effects of the methanol extract of Brassica oleracea var. capitata (MEB, cabbage) in an animal model.
The study included 28 healthy white rabbits of either sex induced hyperlipidemia equally divided into four groups with treated and standard groups that were administered MEB (500 mg·kg(-1)) and glibenclamide (10 mg·kg(-1)), respectively for 15 and 30 days.
Additionally, the animals of the normal and diabetic controls also received normal saline 1 mL/day equivalent to the volume of doses given to the test and standard animals.
According to the tested assays
* MEB also decreased in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein by 94.3 and 96.5 mg·dL(-1), respectively, and increased the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HLD) by 26.7 mg·dL(-1) compared to diabetic control.
* After taking other factors into account, researchers suggested that all of the changes in lipid profile were statistically significant.comapred to control.
These results strongly suggested that the methanol extract from collard greens processes a hypolipidemic effect in a diabetes animal model.
Dr. Assad T, the lead scientist said, "These results suggest the potential of MEB as a...hypolipidemic agent".
Taken altogether, collard green may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #Arctostaphylos uva-ursi Extract Inhibits Diseases Associated with Overexpression of Free Radicals, Researchers Show
By Kyle J. Norton
Herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi may have a potential effect in reducing the risk and treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases, some studies suggested.
Oxidative stress is a production of the imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidants in the bost body.
The imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidant in the bost body can be caused either by the overproduction of free radicals or antioxidant enzymes are suppressed by the outside sources.
However, most outside sources that suppress the levels of antioxidant enzymes also play an important role in stimulating the overexpression of free radicals, such as chemical toxins
Free radicals are unstable atoms with the unpaired electron in the outer ring. Therefore, in order for them to become stable, free radical either donates or steals an electron from stable molecules, leading to a chain of reaction that facilitates the onset of oxidative stress.
The chain once starts, it can not stop until the electron on the outer ring is paired or inhibited by the antioxidant.
A free radical has been known to cause oxidative damage to enzymes, other protein, unsaturated fatty acid, phospholipids, DNA, and RNA.
Antioxidants are stable molecules found abundantly in fruits, vegetables, and herbal medicine.
If oxidative stress-related diseases are associated with the overproduction of free radicals, then long-term intake of a healthy diet high in fruits, and vegetables and less in red meat and saturated and trans fat and processed foods can reduce the risk of the diseases in healthy individuals.
Dr. Halliwell B, in the study to reaffirm the effect of healthy dietary patterns against the onset of oxidative stress, said, " diet-derived antioxidants may be particularly important in protecting against these diseases" and
"The physiological relevance of these effects is uncertain, as is the optimal intake of most diet-derived antioxidants. In principle, these questions could be addressed by examining the effects of dietary composition and/or antioxidant supplementation upon parameters of oxidative damage in vivo".
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is one of the species of Bearberry, in the genus Arctostaphylos, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to northern North America, Asia, and Europe.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as a diuretic agent and to treat urinary problems, including bladder infections, kidney infections, kidney stones, pelvic pain, etc.
The herbal plant contains arbutin, ursolic acid, tannic acid, gallic acid, some essential oil and resin, hydroquinones tannins, phenolic glycosides, and flavonoids.
In examining Dr. Bol'shakova IV, the lead author at the Emanuel Institute of Biochemical Physics claim, that Arctostaphylos UVA. processes a significant antioxidant property in the inhibition of free radicals generation, researchers launched an investigation to evaluate the concentration of compound that inhibited cell growth by 50% (IC(50)) of a range of phytochemicals and plant extracts.
All selected extracts were differentiated according to the antioxidant and renoprotective effects under conditions of oxidative stress in U937 cells.
Two phytochemicals-resveratrol and citroflavan-3-ol isolated from the herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi demonstrated the highest IC50 value of 13.7 microg/mL, compared to the lowest at 9,400 microg/mL. of Echinacea.
Extract of herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi displayed a significant attenuation of the oxidative stress induced by the etoposide injection by inhibiting the expression of H2O2- and tBOOH-induced DNA damage.
These results reconfirmed the findings of Dr. Bol'shakova IV team that herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi as a non-nutrient dietary constituent may act as significant bioactive compounds in enhancing the antioxidants activity and stimulating the production of antioxidant enzymes if the herb is administrated in an animal model.
Moreover, Dr.Matsuda H the antioxidant team leader at Kinki University, Osaka in the finding the natural compounds or whole food with potential antioxidant effects evaluated the inhibitory effect of 50% ethanol extracts obtained from the leaves of six Arctostaphylos plants (A. patula, A. viscida, A. canescens, A. Columbiana, A. nevadensis and A. uva-ursi) (Ericaceae).
Injection of the extracts of A. patula showed potent inhibition against tyrosinase, the enzyme that causes oxidation of the skin pigment.
Also, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi not only inhibited the production of melanin from dopachrome by autoxidation but reduced the over-exhibited SOD (superoxide dismutase, free radical)-like activity.
Additionally, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi processed a moderate absorbance in the UV-B area.
The results not only reaffirm the claim of Dr. Bol'shakova IV's suggestion but also introduce a new herbal whitening medicine for the skin.
Taken all together, Herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi may be considered a functional food for the prevention and an adjunct therapy combine with primary medicine for the treatment of oxidative-related diseases.

#Herbal #Arnica, Processes Anti-#Edema and #Bruising Properties Compared to Those of Corticosteroids, Scientists Suggest
By Kyle J. Norton
Herbal Arnica may have a therapeutic and substantial effect in reduced progression and treatment of edema, some scientists suggested.
Arnica is a herbaceous species, genus perennial, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia, and used in herbal medicine for centuries in the treatment of strains, sprains, and bruises.
Wound healing is a process of repairing the damage to the skin, tissues, organs, etc.
Edema is a condition, characterized by excessive accumulation of fluids in some tissues within the body.
In the study to compare the efficacy of herbal Arnica and corticosteroids in reduced postoperative edema and bruising associated with rhinoplasty of 48 primary rhinoplasty patients randomized assigned to three groups as follow
* Group P received 10 mg of dexamethasone (intravenously) intraoperatively followed by a 6-day oral tapering dose of methyl-prednisone
* Group A received Arnica three times a day for 4 days, and
* Group C received neither agent and served as the control.
With 3 blinded panelists rated the extent of ecchymosis, the intensity of the ecchymosis, and the severity of the edema
After observing the study over the entire period, scientists postulated that
* There were no significant differences in all groups on the day 2 of postoperative
* In comparison to the increased swelling of the control group, both groups A and P demonstrated a significant improvement in edema rating.
Interestingly, the conventional medicine administration group exerted a higher intensity of ecchymosis compared to groups A and C on the day of postoperative and all groups displayed no difference in the magnitude of edema.
However, between the period of days 2 and 8, groups A and C exhibited significantly more resolution of ecchymosis compared to group P.
The results suggested that although herbal Arnica may have a therapeutic property in reducing edema during the early postoperative period, the herbal medicine did not provide similar benefits in regard to the extent and intensity of ecchymosis, compared to corticosteroids.
In order to further confirmation of the effect of herbal Arnica in reduced postoperative ecchymosis and edema, researchers at the joint study lead University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, conducted an investigation in a select population of healthy volunteers after oculofacial surgery by examining the postoperative course and medical records of a total of 27 patients (16 females, 11 males) with age range was 18 to 70 years using topical Arnica and Ledum after undergoing common oculofacial procedures, including blepharoplasty, browpexy, and rhinoplasty, in the hands of 4 surgeons at tertiary referral centers from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.
According to the result of the experiment, the application of Arnica 50 M (10) 50% and Ledum 50 M (10) pads bilaterally after surgery through postoperative day 6, showed a significantly accelerated healing from day 7 to day 12 in dose depending manner, without inflicting any adverse effects.
The findings suggested that the application of composited Arnica and Ledum displays a potential efficacy in reducing postoperative ecchymosis and edema after oculofacial surgery.
The above differentiation of herbal Arnica in improved edema after surgery were supported by the joint study lead by the Research Center of University of adult male Wistar rats inoculated with 1% carrageenan into the footpad to induce edema then treated with Arnica montana 6cH, dexamethasone (4.0 mg/kg; positive control) or 5% hydroalcoholic solution (negative control), per os, each 15 minutes, between 30 and 180 minutes after the irritant inoculation.
According to the investigation, the application of the Arnica group exhibited anti-edema through increased lymphatic edema absorption, particularly, in late edema presented a less intense edema treatment group after adjusting to the individually qualitative of inflammatory vascular events.
Moreover, the edema inhibition of Arnica was attributed to significantly reduced mast cell degranulation and increased lymphatic vessel diameter, and decreased production of prostaglandins associated with the development of edema, caused by subcutaneous carrageenan injection in the induction of local inflammation.
Taken together, herbal Arnica may be considered as a functional food in reduced progression and for treatment of edema and ecchymosis.

Herbal Arnica may have a therapeutic and substantial effect in reduced progression and treatment of edema, some scientists suggested.
Arnica is a herbaceous species, genus perennial, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia, and used in herbal medicine for centuries in the treatment of strains, sprains, and bruises.
Wound healing is a process of repairing the damage to the skin, tissues, organs, etc.
Edema is a condition, characterized by excessive accumulation of fluids in some tissues within the body.
In the study to compare the efficacy of herbal Arnica and corticosteroids in reduced postoperative edema and bruising associated with rhinoplasty of 48 primary rhinoplasty patients randomized assigned to three groups as follow
* Group P received 10 mg of dexamethasone (intravenously) intraoperatively followed by a 6-day oral tapering dose of methyl-prednisone
* Group A received Arnica three times a day for 4 days, and
* Group C received neither agent and served as the control.
With 3 blinded panelists rated the extent of ecchymosis, the intensity of the ecchymosis, and the severity of the edema
After observing the study over the entire period, scientists postulated that
* There were no significant differences in all groups on the day 2 of postoperative
* In comparison to the increased swelling of the control group, both groups A and P demonstrated a significant improvement in edema rating.
Interestingly, the conventional medicine administration group exerted a higher intensity of ecchymosis compared to groups A and C on the day of postoperative and all groups displayed no difference in the magnitude of edema.
However, between the period of days 2 and 8, groups A and C exhibited significantly more resolution of ecchymosis compared to group P.
The results suggested that although herbal Arnica may have a therapeutic property in reducing edema during the early postoperative period, the herbal medicine did not provide similar benefits in regard to the extent and intensity of ecchymosis, compared to corticosteroids.
In order to further confirmation of the effect of herbal Arnica in reduced postoperative ecchymosis and edema, researchers at the joint study lead University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, conducted an investigation in a select population of healthy volunteers after oculofacial surgery by examining the postoperative course and medical records of a total of 27 patients (16 females, 11 males) with age range was 18 to 70 years using topical Arnica and Ledum after undergoing common oculofacial procedures, including blepharoplasty, browpexy, and rhinoplasty, in the hands of 4 surgeons at tertiary referral centers from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.
According to the result of the experiment, the application of Arnica 50 M (10) 50% and Ledum 50 M (10) pads bilaterally after surgery through postoperative day 6, showed a significantly accelerated healing from day 7 to day 12 in dose depending manner, without inflicting any adverse effects.
The findings suggested that the application of composited Arnica and Ledum displays a potential efficacy in reducing postoperative ecchymosis and edema after oculofacial surgery.
The above differentiation of herbal Arnica in improved edema after surgery were supported by the joint study lead by the Research Center of University of adult male Wistar rats inoculated with 1% carrageenan into the footpad to induce edema then treated with Arnica montana 6cH, dexamethasone (4.0 mg/kg; positive control) or 5% hydroalcoholic solution (negative control), per os, each 15 minutes, between 30 and 180 minutes after the irritant inoculation.
According to the investigation, the application of the Arnica group exhibited anti-edema through increased lymphatic edema absorption, particularly, in late edema presented a less intense edema treatment group after adjusting to the individually qualitative of inflammatory vascular events.
Moreover, the edema inhibition of Arnica was attributed to significantly reduced mast cell degranulation and increased lymphatic vessel diameter, and decreased production of prostaglandins associated with the development of edema, caused by subcutaneous carrageenan injection in the induction of local inflammation.
Taken together, herbal Arnica may be considered as a functional food in reduced progression and for treatment of edema and ecchymosis.

#Healthyfood #NavyBeans In the Inhibition of Digestive Disorders by Promoting the Gut Digestibility, Researchers Say
By Kyle J. Norton
Digestibility is a process that the percentage of foods absorbed by the body after intake by an individual.
On the other hand, digestion is the process that breaks down broken down into nutrients through both mechanical and chemical digestion.
The digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract and organs of digestion, including the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.
The digestive system plays a critical role in maintaining the proper function of the body involved in the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components before being absorbed and assimilated into the body.
Digestive disorder is medical condition that affect the function of the digestive tract, including heartburn/GERD, IBD, and IBS that orchestrate symptoms of bloating, diarrhea, gas, stomach pain, and stomach cramps.
Although there are many prevalent factors that cause the onset of digestive disorder, some researchers suggested that the imbalanced gut microbiota may be one of the major culprits that elevate the risk of the disease.
Dr. Caitriona M. Guinane, the lead scientist wrote, "The human gut microbiota has become the subject of extensive research in recent years and our knowledge of the resident species and their potential functional capacity is rapidly growing".
And, "the resident microbiota influence host metabolism, physiology, and immune system development while perturbation of the microbial community can result in chronic GI disease.".
The small, white navy bean, also called pea bean or haricot, popular in both dry and green forms, is very popular in Britain and the US, native to Peru. It is now grown and consumed across the world, due to its numerous health benefits.
In finding potential healthy food which enhances digestive function, researchers examined the total tract digestibility and safety of cooked navy bean powder when incorporated into a canine diet formulation at 25% (wt/wt).
The randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled for a 28-d dietary intervention study included 21 healthy, free-living, male and female adult dogs of different breeds.
In the comparison of the apparent total tract energy and nutrient digestibility of the navy bean powder diet with the control diet, researchers found that
* Digestibilities and metabolizable energy (ME) contents were 68.58 and 68.89% dry matter (DM), 78.22 and 79.49% crude protein (CP), 77.57 and 74.91% organic matter (OM), 94.49 and 93.85% acid-hydrolyzed fat, and 3,313 and 3,195 kcal ME/kg for the navy bean diet and control diet, respectively.)
* There are no differences observed between the groups, particularly in those of flatulence or major change in fecal consistency.
* Navy bean powder at 25% (wt/wt) of the total diet was found to be palatable and digestible in tested animals.
Based on the finding and after taking other factors such as complete blood counts, and blood biochemical profiles into account, researchers wrote, "cooked navy bean powder can be safely included as a major food ingredient in canine diet formulations and provide a novel quality protein source,....for chronic disease control and prevention".
Taken altogether, the cooked navy bean processes total tract digestibility that can be used for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Healthyfood #Cranberry, Inhibits the Symptoms and Parameters Associated with #ChronicKidneyDisease (#CKD), Studies Show
By Kyle J. Norton
The kidneys formed part of the secretary system are two bean-shaped organs located against the back muscles in the upper abdominal area.
The kidneys play a critical role in filtering wastes from the breakdown of active muscle and the food you eat and removing extra water from the blood through urinary secretion.
Furthermore, the kidneys also maintain the fluid in the body by secreting extra water through urinary secretion.
Kidney dysfunction reduces the body's ability to clean and filter extra water from your blood, leading to fluid retention and high blood pressure in the early stage. Believe it or not, people with a kidney function of 10% do not show signs of kidney dysfunction and symptoms.
In other words, kidney disease often has no symptoms until a very advanced stage.
Chronic kidney disease is a gradual loss of kidney function over time. Chronic kidney failure is the end stage of chronic kidney disease which has been found in high numbers in patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, and other disorders.
Acute kidney dysfunction or acute kidney failure is a result of insufficient blood flow to the kidneys such as renal hypertension. These types of kidneys dysfunction can be cured if the causes are found.
Most cases of acute kidney dysfunction may be associated with toxins accumulated in the kidney organs, leading to the condition of nephrotoxicity.
Nephrotoxicity is a condition of kidney function caused by exposure to toxic chemicals or an overdose of certain medications.
Some researchers suggested that people with diabetes are at an increased risk of chronic kidney disease, particularly in those with hyperglycemia.
The National Kidney Foundation wrote, "Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, accounting for 44% percent of new cases. Current research suggests that control of high blood pressure is a key factor in slowing this disease. The strict control of blood sugar levels and reduction of dietary protein intake are also important. Treatment to prevent diabetic kidney disease should begin early — before kidney damage develops".
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.
In finding a potential compound for the treatment of renal disease, researchers examined the effect of Vaccinium macrocarpon (Dandelion)and Taraxacum officinale (Cranberry) on spontaneous feline chronic kidney disease.
The study included 34 neutered cats, suffering from stage II-III chronic kidney disease and diagnosed according to the International Renal Interest Society guidelines randomly assigned to receive either a control diet (n = 17) or a nutraceutical diet (ND; n = 17) containing 60-80% hydrolyzed proteins, 20-40% minerals and active substances (Lespedeza spp. 0.0588, Vaccinium macrocarpon 0.0371%, and Taraxacum officinale 0.0231%.) for 90 days.
According to the tested analysis, both showed a significant effect on the reduced symptoms.
Cats that received the ND exerted a significant decrease in creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, total proteins, and aspartate aminotransferase. The elevated levels of the aforementioned parameters have been found persistently in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Furthermore, urine turbidity score, color score, and total proteins associated with the progression of CKD in cats that received the ND were also decreased substantially.
Collectively, researchers after taking other factors into account said, "An ND based on Lespedeza spp., Vaccinium macrocarpon, and Taraxacum officinale improves key indicators of renal failure in cats affected by chronic kidney disease".
Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of CKD, particularly in combination with dandelion and Lespedeza spp, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

High intake of #Celery Is Associated with a Lower the Risk of #LungCancer, Researchers Find
By Kyle J. Norton
Scientists may have found a veggie with the potential for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer, some studies suggested.
Lung cancer is a chronic and medical condition that caused irregular cell growth in the lung tissue due to DNA alternation.
Most cases of primary lung cancer start from the alternated cell on the surface of the inner ling of the lung.
At the later stage, after colonizing most parts of the lung, the cancerous cell can travel a distance away from the lung to infect other healthy tissue and organs.
At the early of lung cancer, patients may not have any symptoms. however, as the tumor grows larger, it can suppress the nearby tissue and nerve cells, leading to localized pain and discomfort.
Researchers do not know the exact causes of lung cancer. Long-term cigarette smoking is one of the major risk factors associated with the substantial risk of the disease, according to epidemiological studies.
Other risk factors including long-term exposure to secondhand smoke and radiation have also increased the risk of lung cancer onset.
Dr. Beate Pesch, the lead scientist in the study "Cigarette Smoking and lung cancer,..."Current male smokers with an average daily dose of >30 cigarettes had ORs of 103.5 for SqCC, 111.3 for SCLC, and for AdCa. In women, the corresponding ORs were 62.7, 108.6, and 16.8, respectively".
The risk of lung cancer increased proportionally to the increase in number of cigarettes daily depending on the type of lung cancer.
Male smokers are at a higher risk of lung cancer, compare to female smokers.
Celery is a species of Apium graveolens, belonging to the family Apiaceae. It is cultivated all around the globe as a vegetable. Celery can grow to 1/2 m tall with stalks (leaf on the top) arranged in a conical shape joined at a common base.
In the concerns of the widespread lung cancer in rural China, researchers at the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri launched a study to evaluate the relationship between dietary intake of vegetables and fruit and lung cancer risk in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, northeast China.
The case-control study, conducted from 1987 to 1990, among 218 cases with the incident, histologically confirmed lung cancer and 436 controls admitted to the same hospitals as cases with non-neoplastic, non-lung diseases unrelated to smoking and other potential risk factors for lung cancer.
After taking a closed differentiation of the returned questionnaire, a high intake of celery was found to be the most outstanding vegetable in lowering cancer incidence compared to the high intake of Chinese cabbage, chives, and carrots.
Sadly, the OR was more than six-fold elevated for smokers reporting low intake of vegetables and more than four-fold elevated for smokers reporting low intake of fruit, as compared with never-smokers reporting high intake of these items.
Furthermore, in the reaffirmation of vegetable intake in reducing the risk of lung cancer in the Tin Corporation (YTC) miners in Yunnan, researchers once suggested that a high intake of celery is associated with a lower risk of lung cancer.
However, the reduced risk of lung cancer also is dependent on the type of vegetable intake and the total volume of vegetable intake daily.
Taken together, celery may be considered a functional vegetable in reducing the risk of lung cancer and an adjunct therapy combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of lung cancer without inducing any adverse effects.

The case-control study, conducted from 1987 to 1990, among 218 cases with the incident, histologically confirmed lung cancer and 436 controls admitted to the same hospitals as cases with non-neoplastic, non-lung diseases unrelated to smoking and other potential risk factors for lung cancer.
After taking a closed differentiation of the returned questionnaire, a high intake of celery was found to be the most outstanding vegetable in lowering cancer incidence compared to the high intake of Chinese cabbage, chives, and carrots.
Sadly, the OR was more than six-fold elevated for smokers reporting low intake of vegetables and more than four-fold elevated for smokers reporting low intake of fruit, as compared with never-smokers reporting high intake of these items.
Furthermore, in the reaffirmation of vegetable intake in reducing the risk of lung cancer in the Tin Corporation (YTC) miners in Yunnan, researchers once suggested that a high intake of celery is associated with a lower risk of lung cancer.
However, the reduced risk of lung cancer also is dependent on the type of vegetable intake and the total volume of vegetable intake daily.
Taken together, celery may be considered a functional vegetable in reducing the risk of lung cancer and an adjunct therapy combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of lung cancer without inducing any adverse effects.
