#Bromelain Modulates The Immune System Against Inflammation Associated with the Onset of #AllergicSymptoms, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Allergy, also known as an allergic disease is a group of conditions including include hay fever, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, and anaphylaxis caused by the overreaction of the immune system response to harmless substances in the environment.

The most common symptoms of allergies are sneezing and runny nose, persistent coughing, skin rash, fatigue, gastrointestinal discomforts, headache, and fever.

In serious cases, people affected by allergies may also experience symptoms of shortness of breath.

Believe it or not, food allergies affect 4-6% of children and 4% of adults epidemiologically. According to the statistics, approximately, 32 million Americans have food allergies, including 5.6 million children under age 18.

Also, every year, in the U.S., 200,000 people require emergency medical care for allergic reactions to food.

There are many risk factors associated with the onset of allergies. However, foods, medications, and insect stings are the most common triggers of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition.

People who have asthma, a family history of asthma and allergies, and are under 18 years of age are most at risk to develop an allergy and allergic complications.

Treatment of allergies is totally depending on the severity and types of the syndrome. Over-the-counter remedies such as antihistamines which block the effects of histamine, and decongestants and nasal steroid sprays may reduce symptoms in patients with mild conditions.

In a severe case, due to the condition have interfered with the quality of life of the patients, more options may be needed including allergy shots (immunotherapy), please check with your doctors

Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.

With an aim to find a natural ingredient against allergic symptoms, researchers examined the effects of Bromelain (sBr), a mixture of cysteine proteases from pineapple in the incidence of atopic conditions.

The study included C57BL/6J mice sensitized with OVA/alum and challenged with 7 days of OVA aerosol followed by the sBr 6 mg/kg/0.5 ml or PBS vehicle administered throughout sensitization.

According to the tested assays, throughout the study, sBr treatment through OVA-alum sensitization significantly reduced the development of AAD (BAL eosinophils and lymphocytes).

In other words, sBr prevents the expression of allergic symptoms induced by OVA-specific IgE and OVA TET(+) cells by modulating immune functioning.

In vitro, treatment of sBr significantly reduced CD44, a key receptor involved in lymphocyte infiltration of inflamed tissue in the initiation of the development of airway inflammation in a murine model of allergic asthma.

The results strongly suggested that sBr's processes have anti-inflammatory and antiallergic properties.

Based on the findings, Dr. Secor ER Jr, the lead scientist said, "sBr was shown to reduce allergic sensitization and the generation of AAD upon antigen challenge".

Taken altogether, bromelain may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of allergy, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of bromelain in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#RegularWalking, Improves Symptoms in Patients with #Crohnsdisease through Its Anti Inflammatory Activities, Clinical Trials Show

Kyle J. Norton

Regular physical activity has long been found to associate with the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases but guidelines to support an older adult in engagement in regular physical activity (PA) to improve patients with Crohn's disease are lacking.

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, as a result of adipocytokines and macrophage mediators in the perpetuated intestinal inflammatory process(4).

According to the University of Manitoba, regular walking may improve patients with Crohn's disease psychologically and physically without adversely affecting disease activity(1).

In twelve subjects who completed the 12-week exercise program, all subjects showed statistically significant improvements after walking an average of 2.9 sessions/wk, at an average of 32.6 min/session, and for an average distance of 3.5 km/session(1).

Indeed, a low-intensity walking program from the University of Western Ontario also suggested that patients with Crohn's disease do not only show improvement in quality of life without exacerbation in disease symptoms(2).

In a review also by the University of Western Ontario, although current pharmaceutical treatments are effective in controlling symptoms, patients continue to experience a reduced quality of life (QOL). CD patients engaged in physical activity. Exercise can benefit in decreased CD activity, reduced psychological stress, and improved QOL(3).

In fact, regular walking enhances skeletal muscles in releasing biologically active myokines, exerting direct anti-inflammatory effects and inhibiting the release of proinflammatory mediators from visceral fat that showed to improve symptoms of Crohn's disease (CD)(4).

#Phytochemical #Alliin Found in #GarlicPowders Inhibits the Early Markers of #LiverCancer in Vitros, Scientists Say

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is a class of diseases caused by irregular cell growth in the tissue or organ associated with the alternation of cell DNA.

Most cancers at the early stage, due to the small size of the tumor are asymptomatic, However, as the cells continue to proliferate, at some points, the tumor may affect the nearby blood vessels and nerve cell leading to symptoms of severe pain and bleeding accompanied by the general symptoms shared by all cancers.

Most primary cancers at the advanced stage can also travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissues, leading to a secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics provided by the National Cancer Institute, based on 2011–2015 statistics. approximately, 439.2 per 100,000 men and women per year are diagnosed with cancer. The number of cancer deaths is 163.5 per 100,000 men and women per year, also based on 2011–2015 statistics.
Cancers are classified depending on the types of cells alternation
* Carcinoma
Carcinoma is a malignant tumor found in anywhere of epithelial tissues lining the cavities, surfaces of structures and glands.

* Sarcoma
Sarcoma is a type of cancer that arises from malignantly connective tissue cells originated from embryonic germ cells or bone, cartilage, and fat tissues and cells.

* Lymphoma and leukemia
Hematopoietic cells are multipotent stem cells that give rise to all types of the blood cell, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets become cancerous.

* Germ cell tumor
The cancer is derived from pluripotent cells. In adults, these are most often found in the testicle and ovary, However, the cancer is more common in babies and young children.

* Blastoma
The cancer is derived from immature "precursor" or embryonic tissue. These are also most common in children.


Alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine-S-oxide) is a phytochemical compound sulfoxide,. a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, belonging to the class of sulfur compounds, found abundantly in fresh garlic and onion.

With an aim to find potential treatment for cancer with no side effects, researchers examined the protective effect of three garlic powders compared to that of alliin.

Rat selected to the study were administered for 2 weeks with 5% garlic powder diet.

According to the comet assay, consumption of the different garlic powders induced a 35-60% reduction in DNA damage induced by N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in rat liver.

Compared to the other garlic powders increased alliin content of the garlic powder was associated strongly with a proportional decrease in NDMA-induced DNA alteration.

In other words, alliin increased the anti-liver cancer activity of garlic powder proportionally compared to normal garlic powders.

Interestingly, DNA damage induced by aflatoxin B1 in the liver or by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine in the colon was also decreased strongly by the three garlic powders but these decreases were not correlated to the alliin content of the garlic powder.

In other words, all phytochemical compounds found in the garlic powder must work together to augment the anti-cancer effect regardless of the content of the individual compound.

In the study of liver cancer induced by injections of 0.025 mg/kg body weight aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in rats, researchers garlic powder decreased the appearance and size of hepatic GST-P foci associated with early markers of liver cancer.

However, garlic containing the highest level of alliin showed a stronger effect in the protection of the liver against the forming hepatic GST-P foci compared to the normal garlic powders.

Levels of alliin showed an inverse association with the number and area of preneoplastic foci.

Garlic powder ingestion increased the activity of hepatic detoxified enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase and UDP glucuronosyltransferase with no modification of nifedipine oxidase activity.

Dr. Bergès R, the lead researchers said, "It is suggested that garlic partly exerts its anticarcinogenic effects through increasing enzymes involved in AFB1 detoxification. This study highlights the possibility of controlling the cultivation conditions to improve the chemopreventive efficacy of garlic".

Taken altogether, alliin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of cancer with no side effects, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of alliin in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Healthyfood #Ginger Processes A strong Anti-Bacterial Activities, Scientists Say

Kyle J. Norton

Infectious diseases are medical conditions caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi.

Most cases of infectious diseases are contagious by spreading directly or indirectly, from one person to another.

In other words, if you kiss, or are coughed or sneezed on by an infectious person, you are at risk of developing the same infectious disease.

According to the statistic provided by the World Health Organization, 3 infectious diseases were ranked in the top ten causes of death worldwide in 2016.

More precisely, lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, and tuberculosis induced 3.0 million, 1.4 million, and 1.3 million deaths, respectively.

Conventionally, most cases of infectious diseases except those caused by viruses are treated by antibiotics.

If you are currently taking one of the antibiotics for the treatment of infectious diseases, please make sure you know all the side effects for preventive measures.


Diagnosis of the type of bacteria that causes the disease in most cases is important for precisive targeting.


Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.

The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine for the treatment of dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.

Researchers on finding a natural compound as the antibiotic alternative for the treatment of infectious diseases with no side effects evaluated the antibacterial properties of Allium sativum (garlic) cloves and Zingiber officinale (ginger) rhizomes against multi-drug resistant clinical pathogens causing nosocomial infection.

The study included two crude garlic cloves and ginger rhizomes with 95% (v/v) ethanol tested against five gram-negative and two-gram positive multi-drug resistant bacterial isolates.

Application of the extracts showed significant inhibition against all tested isolates.

The highest inhibition zone of garlic (19.45 mm) was found in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), with the minimal inhibitory concentration as low as 67.00 µg/mL.

Based on the findings, researchers wrote in the final report, "Natural spices of garlic and ginger possess effective anti-bacterial activity against multi-drug clinical pathogens and can be used for prevention of drug-resistant microbial diseases and further evaluation is necessary".

Additionally, to know more information about ginger's antibacterial properties, researchers also examined the antimicrobial potency of fresh, natural, and commercially dried Allium sativum and Zingiber officinale extracts against seven local clinical bacterial isolates such as Escherichia coli.

Compared to garlic extract, chloroform and diethyl ether extracts of Z. officinale showed a greater zone of inhibition of tested pathogens except for P. aeruginosa and E. coli.

Furthermore, all extracts of A. sativum and Z. officinale have a strong antibacterial effect compared to recommended standard antibiotics through activity index.

The efficacy of ginger against bacterial infectious diseases was attributed to the presence of various phytochemicals such as tannins, phenols, alkaloids, steroids, and saponins.

Dr. the lead scientist said, "These findings provide new insights to use A. sativum and Z. officinale as potential plant sources for controlling pathogenic bacteria and potentially considered as cost-effective in the management of diseases and to the threat of drug resistance phenomenon".

Take all together, ginger processed with a high amount of bioactive compounds may be considered an antibiotic alternative for prevention and treatment of bacterial infectious diseases, pending to the confirmation of large sample size and multicenter human study.

#Bromelain Improves all Parameters Associated with Speedingup #SkinHealing, Researchers Show

Kyle J. Norton

Skin healing is a natural process to reconstruct the skin back to its originated stage after skin damage.
Skin is a large organ in the human body which only protects our body against foreign invaders but also serves as a third detoxed system after the liver and kidney.

Skin healing is depending on the size of the wound, the small size can be healed quickly without using any medication. However, the large size wound in most cases is required stitches.

Similar to wound healing, at the acute phase of infection, the macrophages of the immune first line of defense stimulating the blood clot to cover the wound or cut and production of proinflammatory cytokines to destroy foreign invaders.

In this phase, patients may experience symptoms of skin redness, tenderness, and swelling around the wound or cut.

Depending on the size of a skin wound, the next overlap stage is broken blood vessels in the wound is repaired and new tissue is grown followed by the creation of collagen, the fibers that form the foundation for new tissue.


This process continues until the skin is stronger or back to the original form.

In the acute phase of infection, overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by immune response may cause damage to healthy cells, leading scar forming.

Additionally, any interruption of these processes may induce the formation of scars.


Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.

In finding a potential compound for speeding up wound healing, researchers compared the structural integrity of bromelain (debridement enzyme) in the healing process.

The study included a combinational multiphasic delivery system that delivers biomolecules of bromelain through the fabrication of coaxial electrospinning of different biocompatible polymers.

In vitro, the fabricated scaffold delivery system sustained the release of debriding protease and its bioactive components in a timely fashion showing a significant effect on wound healing.

Furthermore, the fabricated scaffold used in debridement enzyme also promoted the wound healing process by its angiogenic potential through in vitro migration of endothelial cells and increased new capillaries from the existing blood vessel in response to wound healing.

Moreover, in vivo, studies also confirm the efficacy of the fabricated scaffold used in the delivery of bromelain.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "Our results, therefore, open up a new avenue for designing a bioactive combinational multiphasic delivery system to enhance wound healing".

In order to assess the role and clinical advantages of enzymatic debridement by a mixture of proteolytic enzymes enriched in Bromelain (Nexobrid®) on wound healing, researchers examined the mutual experience of applying enzymatic debridement in more than 500 adult and pediatric patients by the consensus panelists.

The statement included the answer to questions related to pain management and anesthesia, the timing of application, technique of application, after-intervention care, skin grafting after enzymatic debridement, blood loss, training strategies, and learning curve, and areas of future research needs.

According to the statements returned by the participant, 68 consensus statements, enzymatic debridement used showed a higher degree of consensus with a unanimous consensus in 88.2% of statements, and lowest degree of consensus of 70% in only 3 statements.

Taken altogether, bromelain used alone or combined with the multiphasic delivery system may be considered supplements for speedup wound healing, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

#RegularWalking Shows a Significant Effect on all Parameters of #Hyperlipidemia, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Regular physical activity has long been found to associate with the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, the joint study led by Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais showed that regular physical activity (PA) induces desirable changes in plasma levels of high- and low-density lipoproteins (HDL and LDL, respectively) and triglycerides (TG), important risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases(4).

But regular walking contribution to a reduced risk of high triglyceride levels in the younger and older elderly have been lacking, probably due to the effectiveness of modern diet restriction(2)(3) in syndrome controlling.

High Levels of Triglyceride are a condition of high levels of fat found in the blood. The University of South Carolina studied blood lipid and lipoprotein adaptations to exercise suggested, exercise, including brisk walking or jogging, induced energy expenditure is also associated with TC and LDL-C reductions(1).

Regular walking showed to benefit from a reduction of body fat stores, endogenous insulin requirements, and food intake and improved the ability to eliminate cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations by increasing the plasma high-density lipoprotein fraction(6).

Dr. Durstine JL and colleagues at the University of South Carolina, said, "Plasma triglycerides reductions are often observed after exercise training regimens requiring energy expenditure" but the health issues would fair better with "a comprehensive medical management plan that optimizes pharmacologic, reduced dietary fat intake, weight loss, and exercise interventions"(5).

Cardiovascular disease, a complication of high blood cholesterol and triglyceride kills more than 2,000 Americans every day. Approximately 60 million Americans have heart disease, according to statistics and literature, hyperlipidemia is a well-documented risk factor for Cardiovascular Disease(7).

Regular Walking also is found to reduce the risk of complications of heart disease in patients with high triglyceride levels. A study of 14 obese middle-aged women, after 24 weeks in the exercise program, exhibited a significant reduction of weight, body fat, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and triglycerides, whereas HDLC, a metabolic improvement factor, increased significantly(8).

Stanford University School of Medicine study of one hundred nineteen men and 112 women showed that regular exercise in overweight men and women is the best way to enhance the improvement in plasma lipoprotein levels, together with the adoption of a low-saturated-fat, low-cholesterol diet(9).


In support of the effectiveness of regular walking in reduced levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, the study of a 10-week Nordic walking training program on the level of GH and LH in elderly women, insisted, regular walking significantly decreases total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides (all on a similar average by between 0.1 and 0.2%), creatine kinase (on average by 14%), lactate dehydrogenase (on average by 4%), C-reactive protein (on average by 24%), and body mass (on average by 5.7%) of that protect against menopause-related catabolic processes(10).

Taking all together, regular walking when used in conjunction with a low-saturated-fat, low-cholesterol diet may promote a better result in a reduced level of triglycerides, and total cholesterol compared with the baseline of all testing subjects.

#Yoga Exercises May Be Effective for Reducing the Psychological Symptoms in Women with Stillbirth, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Yoga may be used as an integrated form of intervention in the improved mental and physical health of women who lost their babies due to stillbirth, some studies suggested.

Stillbirth is one of the tragic events for the mother characterized by the death or loss of a baby before or during delivery.

Yoga, the ancient practice for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been well known for people in the Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In the study to evaluate women in ages 19 and 45 experienced stillbirth within one year of the study, through online survey related to 1) pregnancy and family information (i.e., time since stillbirth, weight gain during pregnancy, number of other children) 2) physical activity participation, 3) depressive symptomatology, and 4) demographics, researchers found that over 88% reported of depression with score of >10 on depression scale and 23% stillbirth mothers who participated yoga practice displayed an improvement of greater than 58% in reduction in depression.

Compared to the control, decreased symptoms of depression also were observed in the group engaging in yoga exercise.

The findings indicated that yoga practice may serve as a unique opportunity to help women to cope with the multiple mental sequelae after stillbirth.

Additionally, in the concern of increased risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depressive symptoms in women who experience stillbirth, researchers at the Arizona State University conducted a study to investigate whether yoga as a strategy can help to cope with PTSD symptoms of women who have experienced the death of their baby. Out of 26 women in each group completed randomly assigned to either > 3 wks of yoga, or < 3 wks of yoga) researchers found that regardless of the periods of participation, 75% of women in both groups expressed that yoga intervention was very enjoyable or enjoyable, and very helpful or helpful to cope with grief.

Truly, yoga breathing exercise-induced deep relaxation and meditation showed to induce a state of consciousness to cope with psychological stress caused by grief and unfortunately of the present event by facing the loss with positive feelings in reduced anger and increased compassion towards the body and mind. Physically, the mental expression in the right direction in yoga intervention eventually induced the return of proper hormone secretion.

Karla Helbert, LPC. Therapist, Certified Yoga instructor, in the article of Yoga for Grief & Loss. recommended yoga asanas and practices for the relief and release of grief opening poses such as mountain pose, sun salutation, yogic eye movements to help to "establish a ritual and energize the body and mind", "counteract feelings of depletion and sadness" and "(encounter) processing thoughts and memories of traumatic grief".

Indeed, women in both groups of the study also indicated higher levels of satisfaction and perceptions

More importantly, the participation of 6-week and 12-month follow-up assessments among women with a history of stillbirth (N = 22) also indicated an improvement of negative psychosocial symptoms and reduced levels of perinatal grief in four of the five facets of mindfulness.

Impressively, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is a yoga intervention that has been found to exert a significant effect in increased functional self-insight and quality of life, improved emotional balance and coping with distress, induced decreased state and trait anxiety, depression total mood disturbance, particularly in the restored balance between affective and sensory neural networks.

Dr. Roberts LR, the led author said after taking a second look of the results, " Yoga mindfulness was significant mental health needs,......... following a stillbirth, (as the program) successfully addressed by a promising MBI with potential scalability and sustainability"

Taking all together, yoga as a safe and low-cost may be considered an integrated form of physical and mental exercise used in conjunction with primary treatment in reduced psychological symptoms in women after having a stillbirth.
