Varicose veins are a medical condition in which the superficial veins have become enlarged and twisted.
The condition has been found to induce bleeding or superficial thrombophlebitis if left untreated.
The most common causes of varicose veins are found just under the skin in the legs, leading to the symptoms of fullness and pain in the affected location accompanied by symptoms of achy or heavy feeling in the legs. The pain is also worsened after a long time of sitting or standing for a long time and skin discoloration around the area.
Some patients with painful varicose veins also experience symptoms of burning, throbbing, muscle cramping, swelling in the lower legs, and itching.
Out of many risk factors associated with the onset of varicose veins, aging due to wear and tear on the valves in the veins that help regulate blood flow may be one of the most common risk factors.
Dr. Caggiati A in the study of age-related variations of varicose veins, wrote, "Varicose SVs were more frequent in the older group (62%) than in younger one (39%) owing to a higher prevalence of limbs with combined saphenous veins (SVs) and Stributaries of the SVs (STVs) varicosities (respectively, 59% and 37%)".
And, "varicose disease may progressively extend in an antegrade fashion, spreading from the STVs to the SVs".
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
With an aim to find a natural ingredient for the treatment of varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), researchers compared the efficacy of Pycnogenol, venoraton, troxerutin, the complex diosmin-hesperidin, Antistax, Mirtoselect (bilberry), escin, and the combination Venoruton-Pycnogenol (VE-PY) against the therapeutic compressions.
The study included 1,051 patients who completed the registry. During the experiment, there were no safety or tolerability problems observed.
Mirtoselect (bilberry) showed a significant effect on skin flux but to a lesser extent compared to those of Venoruton, Pycnogenol, and the combination VE-PY.
The edema score was decreased more effectively with the combination and with Pycnogenol compared to the other treatment group including the Mirtoselect (bilberry).
According to the improvement in symptoms score, Pycnogenol and compression showed a larger decrease in oxidative stress compared to the Pycnogenol, Venoruton, Mirtoselect (bilberry), and with the VE-PY combination.
However, the efficacy of Pycnogenol and the combination are competitive with stockings that do not have the same tolerability in warmer climates compared to other groups.
The findings suggested that the tested compounds processed anti-chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and varicose veins properties.
Taken altogether, Mirtoselect (bilberry) may be considered a functioning remedy for the treatment of varicose veins with no side effects, pending the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal Ashwagandha Inhibts the Onset of Neuro-Inflammatory Diseases, Scientists Suggest
Kyle J. Norton
The central system is the complex of nerve tissues including the brain and spinal cord with functions to respond to the integrating sensory information.
Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system in which the macrophages of the first defense stimulate the production of a blood palette to cover the wound in case of injury and production of proinflammatory cytokines to the site of infection to fence off the foreign pathogens.
Inflammation also can be triggered by the immune mistakenly attacking the body tissues in cases of autoimmune disease.
Neuroinflammation is a process of the immune system that responds to harmful pathogens that induce oxidative stress in the brain.
A nerve cell is a brain cell specialized in transmitting nerve impulses.
Neuroinflammation is a medical condition characterized by the inflammation of the central nervous tissues, including the brain and spinal cord.
There many risk factors associated with the onset of neuroinflammation similar to other tissues inflammation, including infection, traumatic brain injury, toxic metabolites, or autoimmunity.
In other words, neuroinflammation is a complex response to brain injury involving the activation of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.
Overnutrition in the Western world may be one of the main culprits associated with the widespread neuroinflammation in the aging population.
Neuroinflammatory disease can be acute or chronic. Chronic neuroinflammation that leads to the activation of glial cells and the recruitment of inflammatory cytokines into the brain is found to be associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
Most cases of neuroinflammatory disease are associated with the loss of neuronal structure and function. can be measured by the typical inflammatory markers, including CSF Aβ1-42, tau, and p-tau181, and a panel of 37 neuroinflammatory markers in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ageing herbal medicine.
In the urgency to discover a natural ingredient for the prevention of chronic inflammatory diseases, researchers examined the neuroprotective activity of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) against the inflammation associated with neurodegeneration and cognitive impairments induced by systemic LPS administration using an in vivo rat model system.
The study included young adult Wistar strain male albino rats randomized into four groups: (i) Control, (ii) LPS alone, (iii) LPS + ASH-WEX, (iv) ASH-WEX alone.
According to the tested analysis, orally administered ASH-WEX not only significantly suppressed the cognitive and motor-coordination impairments in rats, but also regulated the expression of various proteins involved in synaptic plasticity and neuronal cell survival.
In LPS-mediated microglial activation-induced damage to neurons via direct cell to cell contact or through secretion of inflammatory mediators, the application of ASH-WEX and FIV pretreatment restored neurite outgrowth and protect neurons from apoptotic cell death.
In other words, LPS-induced neuroinflammation activated in microglial-conditioned medium-treated neuronal cultures and microglial-neuronal co-culture were significantly demolished by the application of ASH-WEX.
Collectively, researchers said, "ASH-WEX can be used as a promising natural therapeutic remedial for the prevention of neurodegeneration and cognitive impairments associated with peripheral inflammation and neuroinflammation".
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of neuroinflammation, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #Butterbur Inhibits High Blood Cholesterol through Many Mechanisms Including Gene Expression, Transcription Factors,... Scientists Say
Kyle J. Norton
Herbal Butterbur may have a potential and positive effect on reducing the levels of blood cholesterol with no side effects, some scientists suggested.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance needed for our body to build cell walls, make hormones and vitamin D, and create bile salts that help you digest fat.
However, too much cholesterol can be dangerous because cholesterol cannot dissolve in your blood.
The special particle called lipoprotein moves this waxy, soft substance from place to place, leading to cholesterol accumulation in the arterial wall that disrupts the risk of oxygenic blood transportation to the heart, a major cause of cardiovascular disease.
There are 2 types of cholesterol. The high-density lipoprotein which returns the blood cholesterol to the liver for future use and the low-density lipoprotein which processes a number of aforementioned functions.
The healthy ratio that maximizes the body's functions is 4 (low-density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol) to 1 (high-density lipoprotein or good cholesterol. Any numbers less than 4 are considered healthy.
Some researchers suggested although there are many risk factors associated with the onset of high blood cholesterol, an unhealthy diet is one major and accumulated risk of the syndrome.
Dr. Robert L. Rosenthal in the study "Effectiveness of altering serum cholesterol levels without drugs" wrote, "Drug therapy with statins and other agents can result in dramatic lipid-lowering effects. Despite the wealth of data supporting the beneficial effects of pharmacologic therapy on cardiovascular risk, patients often express a desire to accomplish similar goals with diet alone".
And, "... a variety of dietary strategies designed to lower lipid levels, including the American Heart Association diet, the Ornish diet, the Mediterranean diet, exercise, phytosterols, fiber, soy products, and fish oil".
These results strongly suggest you can lower your blood cholesterol by following a healthy diet and moderate exercise without using drugs.
Butterbur, found in wet, marshy, damp land, including wetlands, riversides, forests, etc., is a creeping underground plant, genus Petasites of 15 -20 species, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to the Northern Hemisphere.
The herbal medicine has been used in herbal medicine used as a pain reliever in the digestive system, including the stomach, bile ducts,, and duodenum, etc.
The chemical constituents of Butterbur include Petioles, petasitene and pethybrene, quercetin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside, quercetin 3-O-beta-D-6''-O-acetylglucoside, and rutin, caffeic acid, alkaloids, S-petasin, and iso-S-petasin, etc.
In finding a natural ingredient for the treatment of high blood cholesterol, researchers at the Chungnam National University, Gyeongsan examined the effect of the butanol fraction from the methanol extract of butterbur (Petasites japonicus Max.) (BMP) on the plasma lipid profile and oxidative damage of liver in mice challenged with monosodium l-glutamate (MSG).
The study included ICR mice (6-8 weeks old, male) fed with BMP (0.1% or 0.3%) for 1 week, and on day 7, MSG (4 mg/g) was administered intraperitoneally.
Before application of BMP, administration of MSG showed a significant decrease of antioxidant biomarkers such as total glutathione level and antioxidant enzyme activities such as glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and quinone reductase (NQO1) and increase of the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
After the injection of BMP supplementation, treated mice markedly enhanced the hepatic antioxidant enzyme activities.
Furthermore, BMP supplementation decreased total cholesterol, atherogenic index, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, compared to the MSG-treated group.
Dr. Park CH the lead author in the heart team wrote, "Based on these results, it was proposed that BMP improve the plasma lipid profiles and decrease the oxidative stress by up-regulating the hepatic antioxidant enzymes in mice challenged with MSG.".
Additionally, in the review of the anti-obesity effect of an extract of Petasites japonicus (a culinary vegetable from Eastern Asia) (PJET) on a murine adipocyte cell line (3T3-L1) and on diet-induced obesity-prone mice, researchers showed PJET lowered the body weight gain and visceral fat tissue accumulation and ameliorated the plasma cholesterol concentration.
Furthermore, PJET significantly attenuated three adipogenic transcription factors, which play a crucial role in adipogenic induction associated with adipocyte differentiation and cholesterol homeostasis, and genes involved in higher levels of total cholesterol.
These results indicated herbal Butterbur inhibited levels of bad cholesterol through many mechanisms, including gene expression, transcription factors, and levels of antioxidants
Taken together, herbal Butterbur processed a number of bioactive compounds that may be considered a functioning remedy for the prevention and treatment of high blood cholesterol with no side effect, pending the large sample size and multi-center human study.

#Herbal #Bilberry Induces Apoptotic Cell Bodies and Nucleosomal DNA Fragmentation Against #Cancer, Researchers say
Kyle J. Norton
Cancer is a group of cell-mutated diseases caused by the alternation of DNA.
Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the tissue of an organ. At an early, most people with cancer are asymptomatic, however, later, due to the size and the tumor, patients may experience general cancer symptoms such as unintended weight loss, fatigue, gastrointestinal discomfort loss of appetite, and localized symptoms such as severe pain and bleeding.
The exact causes of cancer are not identified. As of today, researchers do not know why one person develops cancer and another doesn’t, even though they share some common risk factors for the disease.
However, most prevalent factors associated with the cancer onset include age, family history, long-term exposure to certain cancer-induced chemicals, use of tobacco, and excessive alcohol drinking,..... the list goes on and on, depending on the type of cancer.
Some researchers suggested that the most common risk factor that causes cancer in the Western world may be associated with widespread obesity.
Dr. Karen Basen-Engquist, in the evaluation of the obesity risk of cancer, said, "In the United States, approximately 85,000 new cancer cases per year are related to obesity. Recent research has found that as the body mass index increases by 5 kg/m2, cancer mortality increases by 10%".
And, "High priorities for future research involve additional work on the underlying mechanisms, and trials to examine the effect of lifestyle behavior change and weight loss interventions on cancer and intermediate biomarkers".
The findings strongly indicated the risk of cancer is increased substantially in obese.
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant has been used as herb in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
Searching the list of natural compounds with a strong potential for the treatment of cancer with no side effects, scientists investigated the secondary metabolites including flavonoids (1-8), caffeic (9) and chlorogenic (10) acids from the extract of Sakhalin bilberry Vaccinium smallii leaves in vitro.
All 10 metabolites included in the study displayed a significant effect in the inhibition of EGF-induced neoplastic transformation in the conversion of normal cells into tumor cells of mouse JB6 Cl 41 P+ cells.
Furthermore, none of the compounds isolated from bilberry extract showed non-toxic against JB6 Cl 41 P+ cells up to a concentration of 200 µm.
The results suggested that bilberry secondary metabolites protect the normal against the alternation of the cell's DNA without causing harm to the nearby healthy normal cells.
In HL60 cells, injection of bilberry extract induced apoptotic cell bodies and nucleosomal DNA fragmentation.
However, bilberry did not exert similar effects against the HCT116. The proportion of apoptotic cells induced in HCT116 was much lower than that in HL60 cells, without the presence of DNA fragmentation.
According to the extracted analysis, the efficacy of bilberry against cancer cell lines was attributed to the bioactive phenolic compounds, including anthocyanins in initiating the free radical scavenging property.
Dr. Katsube N, the lead scientist after taking into account co and confounders wrote in the final report, "These results indicate that the bilberry extract and the anthocyanins, bearing delphinidin or malvidin as the aglycon, inhibit the growth of HL60 cells through the induction of apoptosis".
Taken altogether, bilberry processed significant bioactive secondary metabolites may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and treatment of cancer, pending the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

All 10 metabolites included in the study displayed a significant effect in the inhibition of EGF-induced neoplastic transformation in the conversion of normal cells into tumor cells of mouse JB6 Cl 41 P+ cells.
Furthermore, none of the compounds isolated from bilberry extract showed non-toxic against JB6 Cl 41 P+ cells up to a concentration of 200 µm.
The results suggested that bilberry secondary metabolites protect the normal against the alternation of the cell's DNA without causing harm to the nearby healthy normal cells.
In HL60 cells, injection of bilberry extract induced apoptotic cell bodies and nucleosomal DNA fragmentation.
However, bilberry did not exert similar effects against the HCT116. The proportion of apoptotic cells induced in HCT116 was much lower than that in HL60 cells, without the presence of DNA fragmentation.
According to the extracted analysis, the efficacy of bilberry against cancer cell lines was attributed to the bioactive phenolic compounds, including anthocyanins in initiating the free radical scavenging property.
Dr. Katsube N, the lead scientist after taking into account co and confounders wrote in the final report, "These results indicate that the bilberry extract and the anthocyanins, bearing delphinidin or malvidin as the aglycon, inhibit the growth of HL60 cells through the induction of apoptosis".
Taken altogether, bilberry processed significant bioactive secondary metabolites may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and treatment of cancer, pending the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #Artichoke Extract or and/or Its #Cynaropicrin Show Strong Inhibition of the Delay or Overcome the Resistance of CML to Chemotherapy., According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Artichoke may be the next target to extract the ingredients needed for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), according to studies.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a type of cancer characterized by the increased and unregulated growth of myeloid cells in the bone marrow and the accumulation of these cells in the blood.
The exact causes of CML are unknown. Some researchers suggested that the causes of DNA alternation of the myeloid cells may be associated with the abnormal function of genes involved in cell cycle division and tumor suppression.
Epidemiologically, most people with CML are associated with risk factors of aging, male gender, and long-term exposure to radiation. However, most people with some of the risk factors do not develop CML.
According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2018, about 8,430 new cases will be diagnosed with CML (4,980 in men and 3,450 in women). The disease also caused the death of 1,090 people, including 620 men and 470 women.
The most common symptoms of CML include easy bleeding and tired, unintended weight loss, pain or fullness below the ribs on the left side, and pale skin.
If you experience some of the above symptoms, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility of the disease.
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 for the treatment of digestive disorders, abdominal pain gas bloating, etc.
Researchers on finding a natural compound for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia evaluated the methanol extract of CCL flower and/or cynaropicrin and showed remarkable anti-proliferative activity in vitro models of the leukocyte cancer cell.
In other words, the study was carried out to examine the effect of CCL extract on human K562 CML and K562 imatinib-resistant (IMAR) cell proliferation and on p210BCR/ABL expression.
Where p210BCR/ABL chimeric protein is considered to be implicated in the pathogenesis of Philadelphia chromosome-positive human leukemias.
Injection of CCL extract was shown to inhibit the cell viability of both K562 CML human cell line and K562 IMAR, according to the MTT assay.
In protein implication, cynaropicrin and its deacyl derivative from the CCL extract displayed a significant capability in the inhibition of the p210BCR/ABL oncoprotein, according to the Western blot technique.
In cancer viability assay, CCL extracts exerted a similar effect compared to that of imatinib or its cancer growth arrest in CML.
In the depth differentiation, researchers also found that CCL extract showed strong inhibition of the delay or overcome the resistance of CML to chemotherapy.
Taken together, artichoke with the abundantly bioactive compounds may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia with no side effects, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Healthyfood #Onion and Garlic Extracts Inhibit the Incidences of LiverToxicity, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
The liver is the largest internal organ and the only organ in the human body that can regenerate itself.
The liver is the first line of the bodily toxin defense by filtering the blood that comes from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body.
The liver also produces cholesterol that plays a critical role in building a strong cell wall, producing steroid hormones and vitamin D, and aiding the digestive function in food absorption and detoxifying chemicals and metabolizes drugs.
The hepatoprotective or liver protective effect is an action that maintains the healthy function of the liver against any harmful toxins.
Symptoms of liver diseases include jaundice, abdominal pain, and swelling, swelling in the legs and ankles, itchy skin, dark urine, pale stool color, and a tendency to bruise easily.
There are no exact causes of liver disease. Viruses, toxins, genetics, alcohol, and unknown causes are some prevalent factors found in patients with chronic liver disease, inclduing cancer.
In the US, most cases of liver disease are a result of hepatitis viral infection and autoimmune diseases. Infectious viral hepatitis can produce toxins to protect them against the antioxidant enzymes produced by the host body and prevent the attack of the systematic immune response.
Furthermore, in recent years, excessive alcohol drinking has been found to induce alcoholic liver disease in many parts of Asia and America.
The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belonging to the family Alliaceae, closely related to garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and found in many recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures.
Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild or sweet.
In finding a potential compound that processes liver protective activity, researchers examined the effects of onion and garlic extracts on cadmium (Cd)-induced liver oxidative damage in rats.
The study included
* The Cd group was challenged with 3CdSO(4).8H(2)O (as Cd; 1.5 mg/kg bw per day per oral) alone, and
* The extract-treated groups were pretreated with varying doses of onion and/or garlic extract (0.5 and 1.0 ml/100 g bw per day per oral) for a week and after that co-treated with Cd (1.5 mg/kg bw per day per oral) for 3 weeks.
Based on the tested differentiation, the Cd group showed a significant increase in the levels of lipid peroxidation and glutathione S-transferase. In contrast, antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase levels were decreased in the liver.
Furthermore, liver oxidative stress markers such as alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase were also found to increase in the Cd group.
In other words, Cd showed induced oxidative damage in rat liver.
Injection of garlic and onion extract not only inhibited all parameters in the Cd group but also exerted a liver protective effect in a dose-dependent manner.
Based on the findings, researchers wrote, "high dose of onion and a moderate dose of garlic extracts possibly via reduced lipid peroxidation and enhanced antioxidant defense system that is insufficient to prevent and protect Cd-induced hepatotoxicity".
Taken together, onion may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of liver alcoholic cytotoxicity pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Ingredients Found in #Cucumber Work Synergistically Against the Risk of #Diabetes, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Diabetes is a medical condition caused by not insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream.
In other words, diabetes is a condition associated with the inability of the body to use insulin properly.
Most cases of insulin insufficiency in the bloodstream in diabetes are either caused by the gradual died-off of the pancreas beta cells or insulin receptors clogged up by fat and cholesterol.
Hallmarks of diabetes are hyperglycemia and insulin resistance.
According to the statistics, in 2017, 7.3% of Canadians aged 12 and older (roughly 2.3 million people) reported being diagnosed with diabetes
The most common causes of diabetes are
* Metabolic syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose
associated with an increased risk of diabetes.
* Gestational diabetes
High blood glucose of pregnant women has been found to increase the risk of diabetes in later life.
* Prediabetes
Most cases of prediabetes are caused by unhealthy diets with high saturated fat, smoking, and excessive alcohol drinking. Prediabetes is a high-risk state for diabetes, especially in patients who remain with prediabetes despite intensive lifestyle intervention.
* Damage to the Pancreas causes the gradual and irreversible loss of beta cells that reduce the production of insulin
* Influenza a viruses
Influenza A virus is a common cause of pancreatitis in naturally and experimentally infected animals.
However, recently, researchers found that influenza virus infection may play a role as a causative agent of pancreatitis and diabetes in humans.
* * Head trauma
Head trauma is considered a possible cause of central diabetes insipidus with symptoms of failure to concentrate urine, and an increase in urine specific gravity.
The cucumber plant is a species of Cucumis Sativus, belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae and native to Western Asia. It is a creeping vine with roots in the ground and grows with the support of frames.
With an aim to find a natural compound that processes anti-diabetes properties, researchers investigated the effect of different fractions of Cucumis prophetarum on antidiabetic and antioxidant activity.
The study was carried out to examine the anti-diabetes and antioxidants of the different doses of aqueous crude extract (CE) of C. prophetarum fruits fractionated into water-soluble fraction 1 (F1), chloroform fraction 2 (F2), basic fraction 3 (F3), and neutral fraction 4 (F4) by acid-base extraction,
Based on the chemical analysis,
* F1 exhibited effective antidiabetic activity with an IC50 value of 20.6 and 59.9 µg/mL.
* According to α-amylase assay, the anti-diabetes activity was found in the decreasing order of CE > F4 > F3 > F2.
* According to the DPPH assay, F1 (IC50 = 73 µg/mL) showed better-reducing ability than CE >F4 >F2 > F3 (IC50 = 78-272 µg/mL
* Furthermore, according to the SO and metal chelation assays, F1 showed the highest activity anti-diabetes at the IC50 = 101 and 147 µg/mL.
These results strongly suggested that F1 possesses a potent antidiabetic compared to other fractions, in vitro.
In other words, all ingredients in cucumbers work synergistically to exhibit anti-diabetes activity compared to a single compound.
Taken together, cucumber may be used for the treatment of diabetes, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
