Scientists may have found a natural alternative pain relief remedy for alleviating pain, according to studies. found.
Pain relief is an action to remove pain, distress, and oppression by blocking the pain-transmitting information from nerve cells to the brain neurons.
Acute pain is any pain that lasts less than 6 months. Most cases of acute pain are due to physical damage such as soft tissue damage of a sprained ankle or a paper cut. Acute pain is relatively sharper and severe.
On the other hand, there are many risk factors associated with chronic pain. Some chronic pains can be caused by single factors such as diseases involving nerve damage to injuries that fail to heal properly. Others may result from several factors including diseases associated with normal aging.
Over-the-counter medications used for the treatment of pain include acetaminophen (Tylenol) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Besides the gastrointestinal discomforts, long-term use of Tylenol may be additive. Overdoses or consumption together with alcohol, Tylenol can cause liver damage in severe cases.
If you are taking some over-the-counter medicine for pain-relieving, please make sure you know all the side effects of the preventive measure.
Honey is a miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The rich golden liquid is considered one of the healthy sweet foods for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweeteners by many people.
Researchers on finding a natural ingredient for pain relief examined the honey effect as adjunct pain therapy.
The pain relief of honey was the result of the contribution of the numerous phytochemicals and components, including the interaction of protein, amino acid, flavonoids, phenolics, organic acid, pigment, water, and (high) sugar content in honey.
These components work together to relieve pain by exerting antibacterial, antiinflammation, and immunomodulation properties.
According to additional differentiation, honey reduced pain through the expression of the level of the central and peripheral nervous system or at the autonomic receptor sites involved in pain transmission via the cyclooxygenase pathway in nociception and pain.
Furthermore, in the examined the honey pain relief in post-tonsillectomy treatment with or without adenoidectomy, researchers launched a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that included 140 patients, who were older than eight.
Patients were divided into two equal groups, honey, and placebo.
Compared the acetaminophen plus honey for the honey group, and acetaminophen plus placebo for the placebo group, researchers found that
* According to the visual analog scale (VAS) and the number of painkillers taken within the first three postoperative days, acetaminophen and acetaminophen plus honey groups showed a statistically significant reduction of pain.
*The reduced use of painkillers differed significantly in every five postoperative days.
* Pain awoke at night is also reduced with no difference between groups.
* Honey injection exerted negligible side effects
These results strongly showed that postoperative honey administration reduces postoperative pain and analgesic requirements in patients after tonsillectomy.
Taken together, there is no doubt that honey may be considered a functional remedy for pain relief with few side effects, pending the confirmation of a large sample size and multicenter human study.

#Phytochemical 3,3'-Diindolylmethane In the Promotion of Enzymes and Antioxidant Activity Associated with Anti- Hematopoietic Injury, Researchers Find
Kyle J. Norton
Scientists may have found a bioactive ingredient for the protection of hematopoiesis with no side effects, according to studies.
Hematopoiesis is the process by which blood cells are formed, including the formation of all of the cellular components of blood and blood plasma.
1. Red blood cells with a function to transport oxygen and hemoglobin to the body.
2. White blood cells that form parts of the immune system, including
* T cells and B cells, that fight viruses, and tumors.
* Neutrophils that fight bacteria and fungi.
* Eosinophils that fight some parasites and initiate an inflammatory response.
* Basophils that release the histamines necessary for the inflammatory response.
* Macrophages, the first line of the immune response in the acute phase of infection.
3. Platelets (thrombocytes) for coagulation.
Diseases of the bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, and thymus may affect the process of hematopoiesis, leading to various diseases of the hematopoietic system.
3,3'-Diindolylmethane or DIM are phytochemicals derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, belonging to the group of Indoles, found abundantly in broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, etc.
On finding a natural compound for the treatment of hematopoietic injury, researchers examined the 3,3'-Diindolylmethane (DIM) effect on the hematopoietic system injury induced by total body irradiation (TBI) that leads to the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage.
In TBI-induced lethality mice, DIM ameliorated TBI-induced hematopoietic injury by inhibiting the production of ROS production in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).
Furthermore, DIM improved the bone marrow (BM) HSC frequency, hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) clonogenic function, and multilineage engraftment after transplantation in tested mice.
In an additional analysis of DIM anti-hematopoietic injury, researchers found that DIM promotes the genes associated with the increased production of antioxidant enzymes (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)) in the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and decreased the production of free radicals (NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4)).
DIM also protected the cells against apoptosis by increasing the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein (Bcl-2) and decreasing the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein (Bax).
The results strongly suggested that DIM attenuates TBI-induced hematopoietic injury through the inhibition of both oxidative stress in HSCs and hematopoietic cell apoptosis.
Dr. Lu L and colleagues wrote in the final report, "DIM protected BM hematopoietic cells against ionizing radiation and led to increased clonogenicity in vitro. Therefore, DIM has the potential to be used as an effective radioprotectant to ameliorate TBI-induced hematopoietic injury".
Taken together, 3,3'-Diindolylmethane derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol may be considered a supplement for the protection and treatment of hematopoietic injury, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Encapsulation of Asafoetida (ASF) and a CUR Found in #Herbal #Turmeric Provide Protection of the Onset of #Colitis, Scientists Say
Kyle J. Norton
Colitis is a condition associated with inflammation of the inner lining of the colon.
There is no exact cause of colitis. Certain risk factors such as colon infection, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), ischemic colitis, allergic reactions, and microscopic colitis have been found to increase the risk of the onset of the condition.
The most common symptoms of colitis are totally depending on the type, including abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, with or without blood in the stool.
Types of colitis according to the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, include
microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, segmental colitis associated with diverticula, radiation colitis, diversion colitis, eosinophilic colitis, and Behcet's colitis.
Epidemiologically, people with untreated colitis may experience complications of
* Congenital abnormalities
Women who are pregnant with Ulcerative colitis are associated with a significantly increased risk of some selected congenital abnormalities (limb deficiencies, obstructive urinary, and multiple congenital abnormalities) according to the birth outcomes in women with ulcerative colitis examined in nationwide.
* Nutritional deficiency
Malnutrition, particularly protein-energy malnutrition and vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies, as well as dysregulation of the intestinal microbiota, are common features of IBD.
Conventionally, besides treating colitis with antibiotics, certain medications also are prescribed to improve the symptoms and quality of life of the patients, including anti-diarrheal medications.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
In finding a natural compound for the treatment of colitis, researchers examined the effects of a novel gut health product (GHP), an encapsulation of asafoetida (ASF) and a CUR complex used as a carrier agent to encapsulate bioactive components for the treatment of colitis.
According to the rat model of 5%, dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced UC, treatment of GHP significantly attenuated the disease activity index, colitis score, histopathological changes, and myeloperoxidase activity.
Furthermore, GHP also demonstrated significant protective effects against DSS-induced colitis.
Additionally, in an animal model of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis, a specific, curcumin preparation containing essential turmeric oils (ETO-curcumin) compared to standard curcumin at three specific doses (0, 5, 25, or 50 mg/kg), both ETO and standard curcumin treatments provided protection against DSS-induced inflammation.
However, according to the tested assays, ETO-curcumin improved disease activity index (DAI) dose-dependently, compared to the anti-inflammatory efficacy of standard curcumin remained constant.
In other words, ETO-curcumin was superior in the expression of anti-inflammatory efficacy compared to standard curcumin.
Moreover, ETO-curcumin displayed anti-colitis activity in the colon by exerting anti-inflammatory cytokines including IL-10 and IL-11 as well as FOXP3.
Collectively, Dr. Toden S., the lead scientist, wrote in the final report, " The combined treatment of curcumin and essential turmeric oils provides superior protection from DSS-induced colitis than curcumin alone, highlighting the anti-inflammatory potential of turmeric".
Taken altogether, turmeric plus essential turmeric oils may be considered supplements for the prevention of colitis, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Organosulfides, the Bioactive compoundsisolated from Garlic Process Strong Anti #SkinCancer Activity, Researchers Suggest
Kyle J. Norton
Polysulfides isolated from the organosulfides may have a profound effect in reducing the risk and treatment of skin cancer, according to studies.
Skin, a large organ that forms the out layers of our body has a serval layer of ectodermal tissue and protects the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs against foreign pathogenic invasion.
Skin cancer is a medical condition characterized by disordered and irregular cell growth in the skin.
Most cases of primary skin cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the skin. At the advanced stage, the cancerous cells can travel a distance away from the skin to infect other healthy tissues and organs through blood and fluid circulation.
There are 3 main types of cells in the top layer of the skin (called the epidermis):
Squamous cells, Basal cells, and Melanocytes.
Long-term cumulative sun exposure is one of the major causes of basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the leading cause of melanoma.
Certain risk factors that make some people more susceptible to the development of skin cancer than others include the increase in age, weakened immune system, gender, skin tone, genetic preposition, and family history.
Some researchers also suggested that the general knowledge about the protection of skin against the onset of skin cancer is lacking, therefore, more education in this field may be necessary before the prevalence of skin cancer can be reduced.
Dr. Lee Wheless, the lead scientist in the concern of the association between skin characteristics and skin cancer prevention behaviors said, "Behaviors such as sunscreen use and wearing sun-protective clothing are thought to prevent certain types of skin cancer and precancerous lesions".
However, "The overall prevalence of prevention behaviors was low. Those with phenotypic risk factors for skin cancer were most likely to use sunscreen and sun-protective clothing. Those with high-risk skin cancer phenotypes may also be those who are most receptive to skin cancer prevention educational interventions".
Polysulfides are phytochemicals in a class of chemical compounds containing chains of sulfur atoms, belonging to the group of Organosulfides found abundantly in the oxidized product, including beer, wine, whiskey, garlic oil, etc.
In the concern of incidence of skin cancer which increases at an alarming rate, researchers at the National Taiwan University evaluated the anti-skin cancer activity of sulfur metabolites in garlic oil.
Diallyl trisulfide (DATS), a member of polysulfides was found to be more potent than mono- and disulfides against skin cancer.
Injection of DATS inhibited cell growth of human melanoma A375 and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cells by increasing the cytotoxicity of the reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Furthermore, DATS also induced apoptosis of skin cancer cells through inducing the DNA damage and through cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress associated with the cancer cell proliferation and survival, and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis.
These results indicated the importance of DATS in the prevention and treatment of skin cancer by focusing on molecular mechanisms.
Furthermore, in the in-depth analysis of the effects of Diallyl sulfide (DAS), diallyl disulfide (DADS), and diallyl trisulfide (DATS), extracts from crushed garlic by steam-distillation against human melanoma A375 cells and basal cell carcinoma cells, researchers showed that DATS reveals better growth inhibition of A375 and BCC cells than DADS and DAS do.
Similar to the previous study, DATS increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the induction of cytotoxicity to the tested cancer cell lines.
The cell viability analysis reconfirmed the previous finding that DATS kills tested cancer cells in G(2)/M arrest.
Interestingly, DATS activated the p53 pathway in response to the oxidative DNA damage.
Where p53 is a protein associated with the regulation of the cell cycle and functions as a tumor suppression.
Dr. Wang HC, the lead scientist wrote in the final report of the experiment, "DATS also displayed a selective target of growth inhibition between skin cancer cells and normal keratinocyte HaCaT cells".
Taken altogether, Diallyl trisulfide (DATS) a bioactive compound from garlic may be used for the prevention and treatment of skin cancer, pending to reconfirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

n-Hexane Soluble Compounds Found in #Dandelion Exert a Strong Antioxidant Activity, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Platelet aggregation refers to the platelet-to-platelet adhesion in the blood that forms a clot. Platelet aggregation plays a critical role in the protection of the body against blood loss due to injury or tissue damage.
In other words, platelet aggregation is a natural reaction of the wound healing process of blood clotting in damage and injury of our body, to prevent infection and inflammation.
However, activated platelets that stimulate blood clot formation have also been found to induce atherothrombotic disease.
Antiplatelet aggregation medicines, also known as platelet agglutination inhibitors are the types of medicine that process blood-thinning properties.
Diseases associated with low and abnormal blood platelets include
* Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by low blood platelets due to abnormal function of the bone marrow that makes platelets. patients with thrombocytopenia due to the low quantity of blood platelets may experience symptoms of a bruise, internal bleeding, or nosebleed.
Long-term untreated thrombocytopenia has been found to increase the risk of cancer, liver disease, pregnancy, infections, and an abnormal immune system.
* Essential thrombocythemia is a disease associated with overproducing blood platelets by the bone marrow, leading to symptoms of blood clots that form and block the blood supply to the brain or the heart.
* Secondary thrombocytosis is also another condition caused by too many platelets produced by the bone marrow.
In other words, antiplatelet aggregation medicines reduce the risk of blood clotting used in patients who have a high risk of cardiovascular disease such as aspirin.
Coagulation disorders or bleeding disorders are medical conditions that affect blood clotting activities. The most common diseases associated with coagulation disorders are Hemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, clotting factor deficiencies, hypercoagulable states, and deep venous thrombosis.
Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belonging 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, heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.
in finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of diseases involved in oxidative stress, scientists examined the n-hexane soluble compounds from aerial parts of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Weber ex F.H. Wigg) antioxidant activity.
Based on the results, researchers suggest, "This fraction demonstrated insignificant antimicrobial activity and can be used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries".
Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered an antioxidant remedy for the protection of oxidative stress, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Healthyfood #Honey and Barely Exhibit a Significant Decrease in Depression, Stress, and Mood Disturbances, Researchers Suggest
Kyle J. Norton
Scientists may have found a natural alternative for the treatment of depression according to studies. Depression is a common and serious psychological illness, that affects the physical and mental functions of patients, including the ways patients feel, think, and act.
Some patients with depression may feel sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed.
There are many causes associated with the onset of depression, including genetics, changes in hormone levels, certain medical conditions, stress, grief, or difficult life circumstances that initiate the change of brain chemistry in inducing depressive syndrome.
The most common symptoms of depression include sadness, hopelessness, guilt, change of mood, and loss of interest in friends, family, favorite activities, and sex.
Some patients with depression also experience cognitive symptoms of trouble concentrating, making decisions, remembering, and thoughts of harming themselves.
Readers may find other symptoms not included in the article including behavior and physical symptoms.
According to the statistics provided by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. for ages 15 to 44.3, affecting more than 16.1 million American adults, or about 6.7% of the U.S. population age 18 and older.
Some researchers suggested that the widespread depression in the Western world may be associated with life stress at work and home.
Dr. T. Plieger, the lead scientist in examining the effects of psychological stress on depression wrote, "A significantly closer relation between depression and life stress than between burnout and life stress was found in the healthy (z = 3.01, p = .003) as well as in the depressed sample".
"This finding was supported in both samples by means of a path analytic approach where the associations between life stress, burnout, and depression were controlled for the possible mediator and moderator effects, also considering the influence of age".
Honey is a miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The rich golden liquid is considered one of the healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.
Scientists searching for an alternative remedy for the treatment of depression with no side effects examined the effects of honey on several studies by searching the database of online medical literature.
8 studies that satisfied the standard criteria and guidelines were chosen, including 2 RCTs of human subjects and 6 animal studies.
The randomized studies suggested that depressed elderly treated with a mix of honey and barely exhibited a significant decrease in depression, stress, and mood disturbances scores compared to the control group.
In menopausal women, treatment with honey or a mix of honey and pollens exerted a significant activity in the improvement of the three subscales of the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) by 68.3% and 70.9%, respectively.
The results also suggested that posttreatment demonstrates a better effect compared to pretreatment when the mixture of honey was applied.
Furthermore, the application showed similar effects on the serum levels of cholesterol, such as total, HDL, or LDL cholesterol), triglycerides, or oestradiol in both groups.
According to the survey returned, participants reported that they observed improvements 3-4 days after the initiation of treatment. On a 10-point taste scale, (1 = very good and 10 = very bad) honey received an average score of 2.3, whereas a honey and pollen mix received an average score of 6.0.
Interestingly, the side effects of exhaustion and edema of the lower extremities were reported by some participants, and 2 participants were withdrawn from the study due to the taste of the mix of honey with bare powder.
In animal studies, all experiments displayed a positive effect of honey on depression. Some studies also found that honey improves depressive-like behaviors, cognitive function, and symptoms of anhedonia.
Furthermore, honey injection also showed a reduction of anxiety symptoms and an improvement in spatial memory.
Moreover, honey alone or a combination of honey and other bee products inhibited MAO enzyme activity in the liver of treated mice.
Where monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), an enzyme that metabolizes monoamines was elevated in depressed patients.
And, the anti-depressive effects were correlated to the volume of honey intake. In other words, greater improvements were associated with the increased administration of high doses of honey.
In order to reveal more information about honey depression activity, researchers examined
Tualang and Acacia honey in patients with stress-depression disorder.
Both Tualang and Acacia honey showed a significant anti-depression activity through increasing the production of levels of antioxidants.
However, Tualang honey consumption was found to be more suitable in regulating weight-related effects of stress-depression disorder compared to that of Acacia honey which exerted more profound effects in alleviating depression effects and managing glucocorticoid imbalance effects of the stress-depression disorder.
Taken together, honey, particularly Tualang, and Acacia honey, used alone or combined with other bee products may be considered functional remedies for the prevention and treatment of depression, pending the confirmation of large sample size and multicenter human study.

#Phytochemical #Betacyanins Inhibits Cognitive Deficit induced by Neurotoxicity, Researchers Show
Kyle J. Norton
Cognitive deficit is a medical condition associated with the impairment of a person's mental processes and the ability to acquire information and knowledge that interact with the outside world.
The most common causes of cognitive deficit include genetic predisposition, birth defects that affect the central nervous system such as Down syndrome and Fragile X syndrome, malnutrition, prematurity, and conditions that cause decreased oxygen to the brain.
Some researchers suggested that age degeneration, neuron injury that causes the death of some neurons involved in cognition, brain cancer in the cognitive region and environmental factors are also associated with the risk of cognitive deficit.
Some early signs and symptoms of cognitive deficits may include signs of global developmental delay in childhood such as language, walking, self-care skills, and/or imitative play, delayed cognitive skills compared to most children of the same age, particularly difficulty in performing school works.
If your child has some of the social, adaptive, cognitive, language, gross motor and fine motor problems, please check with his/her doctor to rule out the possibility of cognitive deficit.
As of today, there is no cure for the cognitive deficit. The aim of the treatment is to improve the quality of life reduce symptoms and delay the progression of the disease.
Betacyanins are phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.
With an aim to find a potential and natural ingredient for the treatment of cognitive deficit, researchers assessed the protective effect of betacyanins isolated from Portulaca oleracea L. against the D-galactose (D-gal)-induced neurotoxicity in mice.
Based on the behavioral tests, D-galactose (D-gal)-induced neurotoxicity in mice treated with betacyanins showed a strong effect on the improvement of learning and memory impairments.
Additionally, the levels of brain antioxidant levels such as superoxide dismutases (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) in D-gal-treated mice were significantly increased by the injection of betacyanins.
Furthermore, lipid peroxidation product found in the brain tissues and neurons such as malondialdehyde (MDA) was decreased by betacyanin administration.
Moreover, levels of the activities of SOD, CAT GR, and GPx in the mouse brain, had a significant negative correlation compared to the positive correlation of the level of MDA with the mouse cognitive impairment.
In other words, oxidative stress caused by D-galactose (D-gal)-induced neurotoxicity induced low levels of antioxidants enzymes such as SOD, CAT GR and GPx in the mouse brain were restored by the injection of betacyanins.
Based on the finding, researchers wrote in the final report, "These results suggest that the neuroprotective effect of betacyanins against D-gal-induced neurotoxicity might be caused, at least in part, by an increase in the activities of antioxidant enzymes with a reduction in lipid peroxidation" and "the betacyanins had a more pronounced effect on ameliorating cognition deficits in mice".
Taken together, betacyanins may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of cognition deficits, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of betacyanins in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
