#Herbal #ChasteTreeBerry Induces Oxidation and Apoptosis in Cancer Cells, Reserachers Suggest

Kyle J. Norton

Chaste tree berry is found to exhibit significant anti-cancer activity, a recent study by a renowned study advised.

Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of years as an aphrodisiac herb and considered a Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by cells growing and multiplying in disordered and uncontrollable ways in our bodies. In the late stage, the cancer cell may travel away from the originated site
to infect other tissues and organs.



According to the Tianjin Institute for Biomedicinal Research, in the evaluated the apoptosis-inducing effect of chaste tree berry, using observation under a light microscope, flow cytometric analysis, and agarose gel electrophoresis, vitexicarpin, a flavonoid found in chaste tree berry significantly inhibited proliferation of human cancer cells lines A2780(human ovarian carcinoma), HCT-15(human, colon, colorectal adenocarcinoma), HT-1080(fibrosarcoma cell line) and K562(Human chronic myeloid leukemia cells), depending to the concentration.

Dr. Wang HY the lead researcher in the study said, "Vitexicarpin induces apoptosis.... via mitochondria(in regulated cell metabolism)-controlled apoptotic pathway".


In support of the above analysis, the crude extract prepared with ethanol from dried ripened Vitex agnus-castus fruits exerted strong cytotoxic effects against cancer cell lines of human uterine cervical canal fibroblast (HCF), human embryo fibroblast (HE-21), ovarian cancer (MCF-7), cervical carcinoma (SKG-3a), breast carcinoma (SKOV-3), gastric signet ring carcinoma (KATO-III), colon carcinoma (COLO 201), and small cell lung carcinoma (Lu-134-A-H) cells.

The inhibition of the extract is attributed to the effect on cell death through apoptosis and increased intracellular oxidation in the tumor cells.

Other researchers suggested that the cytotoxic effects. of Chaste tree, berry may be involved in various aspects, including the JNK (apoptosis) pathway. as indicated in the new native lignan VB6 study.

Taking together, there is no doubt, that chaste tree berries may be considered a valuable chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of various types of cancer, depending on further evaluation.

#Greentea and GABA #Greentea (GGT) Reduce Symptoms and Risk of Depression, According to Studies

Kyle J. Norton

Green tea is found to have a psychological effect on patients with depression, a renowned institute study suggested.

Depression is a normal response as part of our daily lives such as the loss of s job, the death of a loved one, or an illness, affecting the way you eat, sleep, and the way you feel about yourself. Over 30 million Americans suffer from depression and the amount is increasing at an alarming rate.

Green tea, a precious drink processes the number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long-term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, inducing "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weakened immunity and painful cases of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

In a cross-sectional study of the consumption of green tea and coffee ascertained with a validated dietary questionnaire and the amount of caffeine intake estimated from these beverages, green tea consumption is associated with reduced symptoms of depression, depending on the amount of intake.

In comparison to the amount intake of participants, the study also found that participants who consumed ≥4 cups of green tea/d had a 51% significantly lower prevalence odds of having depressive symptoms than those who consumed less than 1 cup/d.

Dr. Pham NM, the lead author in the study said, "Higher consumption of green tea, coffee, and caffeine may confer protection against depression".


In vivo, green tea(GT) and GABA green tea (GGT) also expressed a protective activity against post-stroke depression (PSD), a common consequence of stroke, according to a joint study led by Pavia University.

In a mouse model of post-stroke depression, GGT and GT enhance the activity in the modulation of depressive symptoms through decreased oxidative stress, and increased antioxidant endogenous defenses, including polyphenol, theanine, glutamine, etc......

Furthermore, in the review of Embase, PubMed, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases from their inception through August 2014, tea consumption of more than 3 cups a day showed a significant decrease in the risk of depression of 37% (RR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.55-0.71), in compared to individuals with lower tea consumption and those with higher tea consumption.

Taken together, there is no doubt, that green tea may be used as a functional food in reduced symptoms and risk of depression if consumed daily. However, oral administration of large amounts daily should be taken with care, particularly for people with yin constituents.

#Coffee Lowers the Risk of #Gout, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Good News for coffee lovers, coffee consumed daily is associated with reduced risk and treatment of chronic and recurrent gout. a renowned institute proposed.

Gout mostly affects one joint, is an acute and recurrent condition of arthritis as a result of uric acid building up in the blood, inducing joint inflammation.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roast beans from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

According to the joint study led by Central South University, in the review literature of PubMed and EMBASE databases, up to April 2015, out of a total of 11 observational studies (6 cross-sectional, 3 cohort, and 2 case-control studies), coffee consumption showed a significant inverse association with incidence of gout.

The study also found that the efficacy of coffee consumption in reducing the risk of gout showed no significant difference between the highest and the lowest coffee intake in terms of serum uric acid (SUA) level.

Additionally, in the total of 45,869 men with no history of gout at baseline with an intake of coffee, decaffeinated coffee, tea, and total caffeine evaluated in every 4 years, participants in returned questionnaires indicated that increasing coffee intake was (1-3, 4-5, and > or = 6 cups per day) inversely associated with the risk of gout depending to numbers of cups consumed daily.

The related risk of gout incidence in coffee drinkers is as low as .41 in comparison to noncoffee-consumed participants.

Most importantly, the total caffeine levels from all sources, including coffee and tea intake showed no associated risk of gout.

Other researchers, in the finding of gout developed, suggested that coffee intake of 4 to 5 and >/=6 cups daily lower risk of gout compared to no intake (0.26 mg/dl and 0.43 mg/dl respectively) and total caffeine from coffee and other beverages and tea intake were not associated with serum uric acid levels.

Also, according to the data from 14,758 participants ages >/=20 years in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994), coffee consumption is associated with ameliorated serum uric acid level and hyperuricemia frequency.

Taken together, coffee consumption is associated with attenuated risk and treatment of gout caused by elevated serum uric acid levels, depending on the number of cups taken daily.

#Cabbage #Extract Inhibits CardiovascularDisease Agaisnt Oxidative Stress, Researchers Suggest

Kyle J. Norton

The expression of oxidative stress is a medical condition characterized by the imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidant enzymes produced by the host tissue.

In some cases, this reaction also causes long-term accumulation of toxic substances in the body, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic.

Dr. Ercal N, the lead author in the study of the relation of toxic metals and oxidative stress, wrote, "Antioxidants may play an important role in abating some hazards of heavy metals. In order to prove the importance of using antioxidants in heavy metal poisoning, pertinent biochemical mechanisms for metal-induced oxidative stress".

There is no single cause of oxidative stress. Some researchers suggested that a number of factors can facilitate the onset of oxidative stress, including cigarette smoke, oxidative bursts from activated macrophages, particularly, the free radicals chain reaction.

Sadly, a prolonged period of oxidative stress presented in the human body can cause oxidative damage to biomolecules, (lipids, proteins, DNA) and the death of healthy cells through cytotoxicity.

Liver oxidative stress markers such as serum MDA refer to oxidative stress in the liver tissues caused by the overexpression of free radicals or reduced levels of antioxidant enzymes in the liver.


Dr. Halina Cichoż-Lach, the lead scientist said, "Redox state constitutes an important background of numerous liver disorders. The redox state participates in the course of inflammatory, metabolic and proliferative liver diseases.".

And, "Hepatocytic proteins, lipids, and DNA are among the cellular structures primarily affected by ROS and reactive nitrogen species. The process results in structural and functional abnormalities in the liver".

In other words, liver oxidative stress over the long-term induced damage of proteins, and lipid and alternation of cell DNA can lead to liver diseases, including cancer.

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belonging to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. The veggie has a short stem with a crowded mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

In finding a natural wholefood for the treatment of cardio-diseases, researchers examined the effects of cabbage extract on oxidative stress in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts.


Based on the results of the experiment,* Cabbage extract protected against H2O2-induced cell death and did not elicit any cytotoxic effects.

* Cabbage extract suppressed ROS production and increased expression of antioxidant proteins (SOD-1, catalase, and GPx).

* Cabbage extract also inhibited apoptotic responses and activation of MAPK proteins in initiating cellular response in oxidative stress-exposed H9c2 cells.


* Cabbage extract preserved mitochondrial functions upon oxidative stress.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "Cabbage extract protects against oxidative stress and suggests that it can be used as an alternative therapeutic strategy to prevent the oxidative stress in the heart".

Taken together, cabbage may be used to treat oxidative stress-induced cardiovascular diseases, pending confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Greentea #Polyphenols (GTP) Supplement and/or Tai Chi Show a Protective Effect on Bone health, Reserachers Show

Kyle J. Norton

Evidence from laboratory studies opinionated, that regular drinking of green tea improved bone health and reduced the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Bone health is measured by bone mineral density which has a direct influence on the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Green tea, a precious drink processes a number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine, or food, long-term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, inducing "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weakened immunity and painful cases of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory. But adding a slice of ginger will benign the problem.

According to the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, green tea lovers have a reduced risk of lower bone mineral density due to its bioactive components with bone-protective properties.


The study also found that regular green tea drinking promotes bone health in bone mineral loss menopausal women through increased bone mass, thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis, a common disease in the aging population.


Furthermore, the intake of green also protected the early onset of bone mineral loss in obese subjects.

Another study conducted by the same group of researchers also stated the bone density protective effect of green tea may involve the bioactive components' effects in decreasing the risk of fracture by supporting osteoblastic activities while suppressing osteoclastic activities as well as attenuating oxidative stress in promoting healthy levels of bone mineral density.

In the postmenopausal osteopenic women study, green tea with an optimized dose of polyphenols showed an enhanced osteoprotective efficacy in improved bone mass, microarchitecture integrity, and bone strength observed through the advanced imaging technology.


Dr, Shen CL, the lead author in the studies said, " Tea polyphenols enhance osteoblastogenesis and suppress osteoclastogenesis in vitro" and "Animal studies reveal that intake of tea polyphenols have pronounced positive effects on bone as shown by higher bone mass and trabecular bone volume, number, and thickness and lower trabecular separation via increasing bone formation and inhibition of bone resorption, resulting in greater bone strength".


Promisingly, in a total study of 171 postmenopausal osteopenic women to compare the efficacy of green tea polyphenols (GTP) supplement and/or Tai Chi in the risk of osteoporosis, randomly assigned to four groups: (1) placebo (500 mg starch/day), (2) GTP (500 mg GTP/day), (3) placebo + TC (placebo plus TC training at 60 min/session, three sessions/week), and (4) GTP + TC (GTP plus TC training).for 6 months, intake of green and tai chi exercise groups increased bone-specific alkaline phosphatase(bone protective glycoprotein found on the surface of osteoblasts) and improved BAP/(tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, osteoclast increased risk of bone turnover)/TRAP ratio.

Additionally, the group that received green tea showed significantly improved muscle strength in postmenopausal women with osteopenia.


Taken together, green tea may be served as a functional food to protect bone mineral density in all people with/ without risk of osteoporosis.

#Coffee and Coffee Caffeine inversely Are Asscoiated with a Reduced Risk of Cancers But Esophageal Cancer, Researchers Suggest

Kyle J. Norton

Intake of coffee regularly may have a profound effect on the reduced risk of cancers, a recent study proposed.
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by irregular cell growth in any tissue and organ in the body.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roast beans from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

According to the joint study led by the Università Degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, the consumption of healthy foods, particularly coffee rich in polyphenols might have a substantial influence on reduced prevalence of cancer incidence.

Coffee extract with high chlorogenic acids (CGAs) exhibited beneficial biological effects in the ameliorated risk of cancer through anti-inflammatory activity and anti-carcinogenic activity.

In Ras-dependent breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, CGAs also displayed a molecular basis of the activity and chemoprotective in the induction of cell apoptosis.


Furthermore, in the review of literature in the expression of the association between total, caffeinated, and decaffeinated coffee consumption and melanoma risk in a dose-response meta-analysis on prospective cohort studies by searching the database of PubMed and Embase, researchers indicated, seven studies eligible for meta-analysis, comprised 1,418,779 participants and 9211 melanoma cases. caffeine attenuated melanoma risk with a linear dose-response association between total coffee consumption.

Prevalence risk of melanoma is reduced by 3% for an additional cup of coffee intake per day.Dr. Micek A, the lead author said, "Coffee intake may be inversely associated with the incidence of melanoma".


In further demonstrated coffee and coffee caffeine in the ameliorated risk of cancer, the Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HR) for coffee consumption associated with death from all cancers combined and from specific cancer types among 922,896 Cancer with 1982 as a baseline, researchers at joint study lead by the American Cancer Society found that only smokers showed a non-linear association between coffee consumption and all-cancer death but not in never smokers.

Among non-smokers, drinking 2 cups/day or more showed a significant inverse associated with death from colorectal, head and neck, and female breast cancers, but positively associated with esophageal cancer death.

Taken together, coffee and coffee caffeine have profound effects in reducing the risk of many types of cancer, except esophageal cancer which may be attributed to the long-term themo effect of hot beverage intake.

#Herbal #oltsfoot Inhibits Parameters Associated with Convalescent Stage in the Treatment of Asthma, Researchers Show

Kyle J. Norton

Respiratory disease is a medical condition that affects the breathing organs and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, obstructive lung diseases, restrictive lung diseases, respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, nerves, and muscle breathing,...
The most common symptom of respiratory disease is shortness of breath.

The lungs formed part of the respiratory symptoms, are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax). The organ plays a critical role in inhaling oxygen to the body and exhaling carbon dioxide from the body.

Asthma is a medical and chronic condition characterized by the long-term inflammation of the airways of the lungs.

The most common symptoms of asthma are episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm.

Asthma attack in most cases is triggered by exposure to various irritants and substances that trigger allergies (allergens). However, genetic preposition and family history are also found in patients with asthma.

Asthma not only interferes with daily activities and also can lead to a life-threatening asthma attack. Treatment of asthma is to reduce the frequent episodes and severity of the attacks.

According to the statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the US, 1 in 13 people have asthma. In other words, over 26 million Americans have asthma and half of that is children.

Believe it or not, African Americans in the U.S. die from asthma at a higher rate than people of other races or ethnicities.

Dr. Laurent Guilleminault, in the environmental effect in the risk asthma, said, "The rates of asthma and allergy (Type 1 hypersensitivity disorders) have been increasing worldwide for the last few decades. Various theories have been proposed to account for this alarming trend. One of these is the impact of environmental toxicants".


And, "depletion of glutathione levels (with oral supplementation of N-acetylcysteine), and enhancement of glutathione transferase function (using sulforaphane) might be therapeutic options for countering type 1 hypersensitivity disorders caused by environmental chemicals".

In other words, environmental toxins cause reduced levels of antioxidants in the body and are associated with the risk of asthma onset

Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant, genus Tussilago, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia. The herb has been used for thousands of years to treat asthma, various coughs, bronchial congestion, respiratory disorders, headaches obstruction in the nasal passage, etc.

In finding a potential compound for the treatment of respiratory disease, researchers examined the effect of invigorating Kidney (Viscum coloratum 15g, Psoralea corylifolia 15g, Eucommia ulmoides 15g, Lycium chinense 9g, Tussilago farfara 15g, Artemisia capillaris 9g, and Pogostemon cablin 9g as daily dosage) on asthma by measuring maximal expiratory flow-volume curve (MEFV) in the convalescent stage.

In a total of 66 cases of asthmatics were examined, researchers found that before treatment by the invigorating Kidney decoction, the results of FEV, PEF, V75, V50, and V25 in 35 cases or 53.03% of the total demonstrated a significantly negative effect compared with healthy persons.

In other words, in the convalescent stage, convalescent stage, over half of the asthmatics showed obstruction of airways and chiefly of small airways.

According to the tested analysis after treatment of the decoction only exerted effects on different parameters associated with the improvement of MEFV to some extent, but also reversed the airway obstruction of asthmatics in the convalescent stage.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "the authors indicated that the prompt treatment for asthmatics in the convalescent stage was conducive early to prevent emphysema and confirmed that the treatment with Chinese herbs of chiefly invigorating Kidney deserved to be propagated.".

Taken together, coltsfoot used alone and combined with other herbal medicines may be considered a remedy for the treatment of asthmatics in the convalescent stage, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
