Whole Food Tomato Protects the Tissues of Stomach Against Gastric Injury

By Kyle J. Norton

Gastrointestinal injury is an injury associated with the stomach, small bowel, colon, or rectum.

In other words, any damage to the organs of the digestive system caused by blunt or penetrating trauma is considered gastrointestinal injury.

Gastrointestinal injury caused by blunt trauma in children is uncommon, accounting less 1% of all gastrointestinal injury.

Believe it or not, in children, most common causes of gastrointestinal injury are caused by a discrete point of energy transfer such as a seatbelt (19%), a handlebar (13%), or a blow from abuse (19%), or other blows and is unique to this population, according to the Children's Hospital.

Depending on the organs damage, patients may experience different symptoms.

In small intestinal injury, patients may have symptoms of pain closed to the injured bowel segment, abdominal distension, and diarrhea, ileus, diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

In large intestinal injury, patients may have symptoms of persistent focal pain in a trocar site with abdominal distention, diarrhea, and leukopenia.

In gastric/stomach injury, patients may first experience symptoms of nausea, vomiting, blood in the urine, and fever, following by abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, or rigidity.

In rectal injury, patients may have symptoms of rectal itching, pain, and rectal bleeding.

Tomato is red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belongings to family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.

On findings a potential ingredient for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal injury, researchers investigated the transgenic mini-tomato and protection against alcohol-induced gastrointestinal injury.

By examining the function of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) in maintaining the physiological function of the mucosa of the digestive tract, and to promote the healing of the gastric and duodenal ulcers, researchers chemically synthesized a tomato codon preference hEGF gene by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.

Where Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been found to play an essential role in wound healing by stimulating epidermal and dermal regeneration.

According to the radioimmunoassay (RIA),15 days of intragastric gavage (ig) administration of the rhEGF-containing juice of the transgenic tomato could significantly protect mice against the alcohol-induced ulceration.

The Ulcer index expressed as a degree of the stomach lesion, also decreased from 42.20 +/- 18.13 to 16.25 +/- 9.57.

In other words, the transgenic tomato protects the integrity of the stomach cell against the insults of excessive alcohol consumption that damage the stomach lining tissues and speeds up ulcer healing

Taken altogether, tomato with rhEGF may be considered a dietary supplements for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal injury, pending to large sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Bilberry Effects On Locomotion In Patients with Neurodegenerative Disease

By Kyle J. Norton


Locomotion is the ability to move from place to the other. In human, locomotion controlled by the cerebellum is a complex process that requires the integration of central and peripheral nervous signaling coordinated by the muscles.

In other words, every time you move any part of the body, the cerebellum fires into action.

Damage of cerebellum of the brain has been found to induce difficulty with balance, coordination, and fine motor skills in patients.

Besides neurodegenerative diseases, alcohol abuse, certain medications, stroke, tumor, cerebral palsy, brain degeneration, and multiple sclerosis are the most common risk factors which can affect the brain locomotion control.

In conventional medicine, depending on the causes that affect the locomotion, adaptive devices may be introduced to maintain independence. Other therapies such as physical, occupational and speech therapy with moderate exercise have been found to be helpful.

Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.

The plant berry has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, and psoriasis, diabetes, etc.

On finding a potential compound for the improvement of locomotion in patients with neurodegenerative disease, researchers examined the possible effects of prolonged administration of lyophilized Vaccinium berries (blueberry, bilberry) on cognitive performance against the incidence of degenerative disorders.

Mice selected to the study were observed by step-down inhibitory avoidance, open field, elevated plus-maze, and radial maze tasks. The lyophilized berries were administered for 30 days before the first training.

According to the tested assays, lyophilized berries significantly enhanced locomotion by increasing the number of crossings in the first exposure to the open field. 

Additionally, short term treatment with lyophilized berries also improves rat performance on the elevated plus-maze task.

In other words,  lyophilized berries inhibited the neuro deficits associated with inactivity behavior such as anxiety.

Taken altogether, bilberry processed abundantly bioactive compound anthocyanoside may be considered a functioning remedy for the improvement of locomotion in patients with neurodegenerative diseases, pending to the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Alliin Protects the Heart and Blood Vessels Against Hypertension

By Kyle J. Norton

Hypertension, found in the cluster of metabolic syndrome is a medical condition associated with abnormally high blood pressure.

Blood pressure change constantly depending on the activity. Persistent hypertension over time can lead to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

It also is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood.

According to the statistics provided by the American Heart Association., approximately103 million U.S. adults are living with high blood pressure, accounting to nearly half of all adults in the United States.

Conventionally, blood pressure medications have been found to prevent many deaths from heart disease and stroke over the past 30 years, however, long-term intake of such medications have caused many side effects such as damaging the kidney.

Epidemiologically, family history, aging, being male, being overweight or obese, ethnicity, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet and people with chronic kidney disease are some common risk factors involved in the increased risk of hypertension.

Believe or not, excessive alcohol drinking is also one of the major causes besides obesity in elevating the syndrome onset.

Dr. Kazim Husain wrote, "Several possible mechanisms have been proposed such as an imbalance of the central nervous system, impairment of the baroreceptors, enhanced sympathetic activity, stimulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, increased cortisol levels, increased vascular reactivity due to increase in intracellular calcium levels, stimulation of the endothelium to release vasoconstrictors and loss of relaxation due to inflammation and oxidative injury of the endothelium leading to inhibition of endothelium-dependent nitric oxide production".

And, "Loss of relaxation due to inflammation and oxidative injury of the endothelium by angiotensin II leading to inhibition of endothelium-dependent nitric oxide production is the major contributors of alcohol-induced hypertension".

In fact, by making changes to lifestyle, maintaining ideal weight and diet with low salt, you could do just fine without the drugs.

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

With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of hypertension, researchers examined the effect of Lichtwer garlic powder (containing 1.3% alliin equivalent to 0.6% allicin) in rats fed with a high cholesterol diet.

The study carried out with rats fed a 2% high cholesterol diet with and without garlic powder and control rats were fed a normal diet for 6 weeks daily.

Rats treated with high cholesterol diet had a significantly higher blood pressure compared to the animals receiving the control diet.

Compared to the high cholesterol and control diet group, the blood pressure of the animals receiving garlic powder was significantly lower without changing the levels of serum glucose and protein in all of the rats. 

The results strongly showed support for the use of Lichtwer garlic powder (containing 1.3% alliin equivalent to 0.6 % allicin) for the treatment of systolic blood pressure in hypercholesterolemic in an animal model.

Dr. Ali M the lead scientist said, "Our experimental results show that garlic may beneficially affect .....hypertension".

Taken altogether, alliin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of hypertension, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Herbal Turmeric Protects the Kidneys Against Drugs, Heavy Metals and Substances Toxicity

By Kyle J. Norton


The kidneys are a pair of kidney shape organs located on either side of your spine with a function to filter out the wastes from the blood before passing the wastes through urinary secretion.

More than a detoxed organ, the kidneys also maintain the body fluid balance, regulate the production of red blood cell and high blood pressure.

Kidney damage can be acute such as an overdose of toxin or chronic. Acute kidney diseases can be cured if the underlying cause is found.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD)  is a slow and progressive disease which can lead to kidney failure over time.

At the advanced of CKD can cause the dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes build up in the body.

According to statistics, approximately 14 percent of the US general population suffer from CKD. Believe it or not, more than 661,000 Americans have kidney failure. Of these, 468,000 individuals are on dialysis, and roughly 193,000 live with a functioning kidney transplant.

Out of many risk factors associated with CKD, some researchers suggested high blood pressure is one most prevalent risk factor found in most patients.

The Natural Kidney Foundation wrote, "More than half the people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have high blood pressure. High blood pressure increases the chance that kidney disease will get worse"

And "Following your treatment plan carefully and keeping your blood pressure under control can help to prevent these complications".

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 anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

On finding a potential compound with the kidney protective property, researchers investigated curcumin, a major phenolic compound the rhizome of the Curcuma species anti kidney toxicity.

In glucose, tartrazine, induced toxicity, curcumin protected the kidney against DNA damage in leucocytes.

In a streptozotocin-induced diabetes rat model, curcumin protected the kidney against overexpression of free radical to cause kidney cell damage through its antioxidant activity.

In the long term heavy metal model,  curcumin inhibited the toxic effect caused by the accumulation of the metal in the induction of kidney cell damage.

In an animal model induced cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury by injection cisplatin, curcumin enhanced the function of cisplatin-resistant cancer cells and decrease its unwanted side effects.

More interestingly, curcumin inhibited the nicotine receptors on kidney cells that link nicotine to accelerated kidney damage in cigarette smokers

In other words. if the kidneys are less able to excrete nicotine, in long term, accumulated of the extracellular fluid and blood volumes increase, that can lead to severe kidney damage.

In other studies, kidney damage caused maleate, malathion, nicotine, cisplatin, gentamicin, and methotrexate also reversed by the injection of curcumin, similar to those of the aforementioned substances.

Taken altogether, turmeric and its bioactive compound curcumin may be considered remedies the prevention and treatment of kidney damage, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Healthy Food Tomato, A Potential and Natural Prevention and Treatment of Cancer

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is a class of chronic and medical condition caused by cell growth irregularly in the tissues of the body.

Cancer can be classified into
* Primary cancer or original cancer is a tumor at the original site where it first arose where tumor progression began and proceeded to yield a cancerous mass.

* Secondary metastasis is tumor spread from primary cancer.

Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the organs' tissues. For example, breast cancer starts in the tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk.

Under normal circumstance, cell growth is a natural process without even notice, every day millions of cell growth to replace millions of dead cells and to keep our body in balance and healthy.

Sometimes, acceleration of cells growth is necessary to prevent further damage to the body tissues and organs, such as cut, injure, etc., but after fulfilling their purposes, the growth of cells are back to a normal rate again due to our body growth inhibitors. 

However, in cancer, mutated cells can grow indefinitely by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death, leading to the formation of cell mass or tumor.

The exact causes of cancer are unidentified. Researchers can not explain why people with the same health conditions and family history in the same family, some are prone to cancer development while others do not.

According to the statistic, In 2018, approximately 1,735,350 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the United States. The diseases also cause the death of 609,640 Americans in the same year.

Believe it or not, cancer mortality is higher among men than women (196.8 per 100,000 men and 139.6 per 100,000 women), according to the National Cancer Institute.

Tomato is red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belongs to family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of cancer with no side effects researchers examined several HDACi of natural and dietary origin such as tomatoes against cancer developing.

Where histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) regulated the activity of histone deacetylase enzymes (HDACs) has been used in cancer treatment either alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs/radiotherapy.

According to the differential, HDACi exhibited antitumor effect by the activation of cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis and autophagy, angiogenesis inhibition.

Furthermore, the cancer inhibition of HDACi is also found in increased reactive oxygen species generation that causes oxidative stress, and mitotic cell death in cancer cells.

In order to reveal more information about tomatoes anti-cancer property, scientists investigated lycopene loaded whey protein isolate nanoparticles (LYC-WPI-NPs) anti-cancer activity.

The percent lycopene entrapment of prepared LYC-WPI-NPs was estimated in the range to 50 and 65%.

The WPI-NPs was found to enhance the oral bioavailability and absorption of lycopene by controlling its release from nano-formulation and lymphatic pathways.

Moreover, lycopene improved the biopharmaceutical attributes of lycopene and demonstrated prophylactic anticancer activity, decrease tumor proliferation and increased the survival rate of treated animals, in the form of loaded protein nanoparticles.

Taken altogether, tomatoes processed high amounts of lycopene may be considered a functional food for the treatment of cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Phytochemical 3,3'-Diindolylmethane Inhibits Parameters Associated with the Onset of Hyperglycemia

By Kyle J. Norton


Hyperglycemia is a condition of abnormally high blood sugar in the bloodstream associated with diabetic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.

In order words, hyperglycemia is a result of the body which isn't properly using or doesn't make the hormone insulin.

Hyperglycemia is also considered a hallmark of patients with type 2 diabetes. Another hallmark is insulin resistance.

The condition occurs mostly due to poor control and management in patients with diabetes such as
a poor diet, physical inactivity choices, symptoms of medicines intake.

Some patients with diabetes also experience symptoms of hyperglycemia due to skipping not taking enough glucose-lowering medication.

Most common symptoms of hyperglycemia are frequent urination, increased thirst, blurred vision, persistent fatigue, and headache.

If you are having some of the aforementioned symptoms, you may have hyperglycemia. Please make sure you check with your doctor to prevent the longer-term untreated complications.

According to the epidemiological studies, untreated or long term persistently hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes has been found to induce serious symptoms such as shortness of breath,  confusion, and coma.

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, and kale, etc.

With an aim to find a natural ingredient for the treatment of hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes, researchers examined the effect of the nutritive phytochemicals, indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and its metabolite, 3, 3'- diindolylmethane (DIM) on oxidative stress developed in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

The study is carried out on the genetically modified mouse (C57BL/6J mice) similar to those of metabolic abnormalities of the human disease after the administration of a high-fat diet (HFD).

Injection of DIM and I3C positively modulated the glucose, insulin, and hemoglobin (Hb), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, an indication of the hyperglycemically modulatory activities in the tested HFD mice.

Compared to the HFD group, treatment groups showed a decrease in the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH), conjugated dienes (CD associated with oxidative stress in lipid peroxidation.

Futhermore, DIM and I3C also improved the antioxidant enzymes produced by the host observed by the increasing SOD, CAT, GPx levels in the erythrocyte, liver, kidney, and heart.


Levels of free radical scavengers such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and GSH levels are also increased in the plasma, liver, kidney, and heart in diabetic mice.

In other words, DIM and I3C protected diabetic mice against diabetics complications by modulating blood glucose and lipid by balancing the ratio of free radicals and antioxidant in the tested subjects.

Based on the finding, researchers wrote in the final report, "the antioxidant-scavenging action was accelerated in mice treated with DIM than the I3C treatment group which was comparable with the standard drug metformin".

Taken altogether, 3,3'-Diindolylmethane derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of hyperglycemia, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of 3,3'-diindolylmethane in form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Turmeric Effects on Skin Health

By Kyle J. Norton


Skin, a large external organ in the human body is the outer layer, with a total area of about 20 square feet which protect the internal organs, bones, and tissues against damage.

The skin processes 3 main layers
* Epidermis is the outer most layer of the skin providing a barrier against infection from environmental pathogens. The outer layers also regulate the amount of water released from the body through transepidermal water loss.

* Dermis is the second layer of skin, containing blood capillaries, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles, and other structures.

* The bottom layer is the subcutaneous fat which has been found to process the protective effect against the dangers of visceral fat.

Skin health refers to the use of material or agents, including topical and oral herbal remedies with the function to protect the skin cell against the environment harmful substance, including the sun UV light and microbial infection.

Some researchers suggested that by providing enough nutrition to the skin cells we can maintain healthy skin. In other words, macronutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids and micronutrients such as vitamins and essential minerals all work together to maintain healthy skin.

More precisely, we can maintain healthy skin by eating a healthy diet accompanied by moderate exercise and avoid exposure of skin to harmful substances.

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 anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

With an aim to find a natural compound for the enhancement of skin health, researchers examined the active component of turmeric, curcumin used medically to treat a variety of dermatologic diseases in traditional medicine.

The search involved the relationship between products containing turmeric, curcumin, and skin health in the medical databases of PubMed and Embase databases found a total of 234 articles with only 18 studies met inclusion criteria. 

According to the identified studies, ingestion, topical use, and combined ingestion and topical use showed a statistically significant improvement in skin disease severity in the turmeric/curcumin treatment groups compared with control groups, including conditions of acne, alopecia, atopic dermatitis, facial photoaging, oral lichen planus, pruritus, psoriasis, radiodermatitis, and vitiligo.

Dr. Vaughn AR, the lead scientist after taking into account co and confounder wrote on the final report, "Overall, there is early evidence that turmeric/curcumin products and supplements, both oral and topical, may provide therapeutic benefits for skin health".

In order to reveal more information about curcumin in skin protection, researchers investigated the antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties against skin diseases.

According to the tested assays, curcumin exerted protective effects against skin damage caused by chronic ultraviolet B radiation.

Curcumin application also has a strong effect on the protection against skin aging and disorders such as psoriasis, infection, acne, skin inflammation, and skin cancer.

Taken altogether, turmeric may be considered a supplement for skin health with no side effect, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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