High blood pressure more in men and higher diabetes rate in women, Nigerian study

The study demonstrated lower prevalence of obesity and hypertension when compared with earlier results from the southern part of Nigeria, but showed an increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, more in women than men.
A prospective cross-sectional study determines the prevalence of some risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD) in a rural Nigerian population around Maiduguri in the north eastern part of Nigeria. Five hundred randomly selected subjects, consisting of 278 males and 222 females.
Anthropometric parameters such as weight, height, body mass index and blood pressure were measured. Also fasting blood concentration of glucose, total cholesterol (Tc) and high density cholesterol (HDL-c) were measured.
Various parameters were compared between males and females with the following results:
• Prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia was zero because no subjects had values greater than 5.2 mmol/1.
• Prevalence of diabetes mellitus was 2.6% and being higher among females.
• Mean fasting blood glucose was significantly higher in females (6.2 mmol/1) than males (4.2 mmol/1).
• Overall prevalence of obesity was 2%, with 1.2% in males and 3.2% in females.
• High blood pressure was observed in 15.2% of the subjects, with it being more among males (19.1%) than females (10.3%).

Heart Disease, more in women

cardio chart

heart disease

A chart shows 950,000 heart-related deaths of which 500K are women and 450K are men.
Pattern: Women erode, men explode (MRI picture )
Therapy: from female stem cells

Knowing the warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack is key to preventing death, but many people don’t know the signs.
In a 2005 survey, most respondents—92%—recognized chest pain as a symptom of a heart attack. Only 27% were aware of all major symptoms and knew to call 9-1-1 when someone was having a heart attack.

About 47% of sudden cardiac deaths occur outside a hospital. This suggests that many people with heart disease don’t act on early warning signs.
Heart attacks have several major warning signs and symptoms:
• Chest pain or discomfort.
• Upper body pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or upper stomach.
• Shortness of breath.
• Nausea, lightheadedness, or cold sweats.

Race of Ethnic Group % of Deaths
African Americans 24.5
American Indians or Alaska Natives 18.0
Asians or Pacific Islanders 23.2
Hispanics 20.8
Whites 25.1
All 25.0

Healing ways:
• Live and choose stress-free lifestyle with active whole body movements: yoga, dancing, running, walking, surrounded by loving relationships
• Make fruits and vegetables a major part of the diet. Five servings a day may seem overwhelming, but it really can be made simple. Every time you get hungry, find a fruit or vegetable as the main constituent. Add everything else for flavor. There are so many free resources on the internet for finding recipes to make them flavorful. Buy a variety of colors to make sure you get all nutrients and anti-oxidants, and always make sure they are organic.
• Garlic and onions. Garlic and onions are rich in compounds that lower cholesterol and prevent blood clotting. They are also a wonderful addition to flavor vegetables. Garlic should be chopped finely, then let sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking to release the healing compound alliicin. Always add the garlic during the last minutes of cooking. Garlic from whole foods, check out aged garlic.
• Omega-3 fatty acids are important to so many functions of our body, but are rare in our diet. Wild Alaskan salmon and sardines are a good source, eat them a couple days a week. Walnuts are a good source, as are flaxseeds. Add flaxseed oil and walnuts (soaked) to your salads. Pastured cows where eating grass is a major part of their diet carry omega-3’s in their dairy and meat.
• Monounsaturated fats. Olive oil is a monounsaturated fat and has been proven to be beneficial to the heart and prevent arterial disease. Use it as your major source for stir-frying vegetables. Make sure it is cold pressed, unrefined, virgin, and organic.
• Linoleic Acids. Linoleic acids are necessary to metabolize fats and cholesterol. They are good for the heart and the skin. One form is GLA found in evening primrose and borage seed oil (Make sure these are cold-pressed and unrefined. The other form is DGLA found in sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. An easy way to get these important fats in your diet is to make a salad oil of olive, borage or primrose oil, & flaxseed oil with chopped garlic, lemon or vinegar (for the acid), and add soaked sunflower, pumpkin seeds, or walnuts to the salad greens and red cabbage, and any other veggies and fruits you want to include.
• Whole grains. Whole grains have been proven to cut the risk of heart disease. Fresh fruits and vegetables provide a good source of the fiber needed. All refined grains turn into sugar. Make brown rice, barley, oats, and dried beans a part of your diet. I have to make an important side note here. All grains, legumes and nuts should be soaked overnight before eating to remove anti-nutrients and become more digestible. This was a normal step of food preparation that has been lost in our fast-paced industrial society.
• Protein is important for the building blocks of all cells, including the heart and veins. Poultry, fish, meats, cheese, eggs, dairy, nuts, and legumes are the major sources of protein. Add a protein source to every meal.
• Folic acid and the B vitamins improve heart health. Nutritional yeast and bee pollen should become a daily part of your diet. Drink organic fresh green juice daily.

The genes are similar to those of our ancestors. Aborigines and Polynesians are virtually identical genetically to their traditional ancestors of recent generations. The Aborigines and Polynesians who eat traditional food do not get cancer (see e.g, the Kitava study by Staffan Lindberg).
However our diet is only 25% of Paleolithic foods, exercise les, sunlight is less, toxins and viruses more. As far as evolution goes, Europeans have made a few adaptations, Maori and Aborigine very few. So Europeans have less genetic factor in disease than Aborigines and Maori. Things are the opposite to what they think.

If everybody smoked, then we would think that lung cancer was a genetic illness.
everyone is loaded with salt, which is the cause of hypertension- people still get money to look for the genetic “root” of hypertension. Everyone eats Neolithic food, which is the main cause of cancer, thus we wrongly look for a genetic root.
Epidemiologist Geoffrey Rose:

If everyone smoked 20 cigarettes a day, then clinical, case-control and cohort studies alike would lead us to conclude that lung cancer was a genetic disease; and in one sense that would be true, since if everyone is exposed to the necessary agent, then the distribution of cases is wholly determined by individual susceptibility. The hardest cause to identify is the one that is universally present, for then it has no influence on the distribution of disease.
Rose G. Sick individuals and sick populations. Int. J. Epidemiology 1985;14:32–8

The Lyon Heart study proved that a good diet high in greens would not only reduce heart attack by 70% but also reduce cancer by 50%. Hunter gatherers get under 1% of our cancer rate, until they start eating our food. Every second cancer patient today would not have cancer if everyone ate according to the Lyon Heart study. 99% would not have cancer if they ate a Paleolithic diet.

Your skin, eyes, nails and oral health can show signs of heart disease.The oral cavity is an important anatomical location with a role in many critical physiologic processes, such as digestion, respiration, and speech. It is also unique for the presence of exposed hard tissue surrounded by mucosa. The mouth is frequently involved in conditions that affect the skin or other multiorgan diseases. In many instances, oral involvement precedes the appearance of other symptoms or lesions at other locations.

Amyloidosis is the deposition of amyloid proteins in body tissues leading to tissue damage. Amyloidosis is classified as either primary or secondary. The former results from multiple myeloma[34] or an idiopathic disease, while the latter is a sequela of a chronic or inflammatory disease process. These classifications are based on the type of fibrillar protein deposited. The primary form usually affects the skin, heart, tongue, and GI tract, while the secondary form, although more common, has no cutaneous manifestations.
Systemically, patients with primary amyloid light chain amyloidosis present with fatigue, weight loss, and symptoms specific to the organs involved. The kidneys and heart are the most common organs involved, demonstrating renal failure and aggressive congestive heart failure. CNS manifestations are absent, but peripheral neuropathies are common.[35]
The most common oral manifestation of amyloidosis is macroglossia, which occurs in 20% of patients. The enlarged tongue demonstrates lateral ridging due to teeth indentation.[35] Although pain is not usually present, enlargement, firmness, and loss of mobility are common. Grossly, the tongue may be firm and appear relatively normal or it may have yellow nodules on the lateral surface. Interference with taste has also been reported in some patients, and hyposalivation may result from amyloid deposition in the salivary glands. Submandibular swelling occurs subsequent to tongue enlargement and can lead to respiratory obstruction. Rarlely, oral ulceration may present[36] .
Microscopic examination of a biopsy sample from an enlarged tongue reveals the characteristic amorphous fissured appearance of amyloid in the tissues; a green negative birefringence is depicted when polarized light is shone on tissue stained with Congo red. The most common protein type deposited in the oral cavity is amyloid. The detection of AL in a patient warrants further evaluation for possible multiple myeloma. Of patients with multiple myeloma, 7-20% have amyloid deposition. The presence of myeloma yields a poor prognosis for the patient.

Preventive care of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertensive (CTPH); prevalent in older women

Surgery is the principal therapy but knowing signs and symptoms will help you with CTPH.

The Pulmonary Circulation
The pulmonary circulation is made up of the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood through the lungs (the pulmonary system). As the blood flows though the lungs, it loads up with oxygen and loses the carbon dioxide it is carrying. Then, the oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart through the left upper chamber (atrium), flows into the left lower chamber (ventricle) and out through the aorta to all cells in the body.

Once the oxygen is lost from the blood, the veins carry it back to the heart from all over the body. It flows into the heart’s right atrium. After the atrium is filled with blood, it squeezes (contracts) and sends the blood into the right ventricle. When the right ventricle fills and contracts, it pushes blood into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery goes into the lungs through the pulmonary circulation.

Chronic is a medical term that describes a disease or condition that continues for a period of months or years.

A Pulmonary Thromboembolism refers to the clots that travel from veins in the body (emboli) and clog the arteries in the lungs. Once lodged in the lung arteries, they can cause more clots to form (thrombosis) and add more resistance to the blood flow through the lung.
This increased resistance from the clots increases the pressure inside the lungs. The medical term for increased pressure is Hypertension. Combining these key words gives us the meaning of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: High blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries that lasts six months or longer. The condition often happens after there is a pulmonary embolism.

What causes CTEPH?
When the body cannot resorb a pulmonary embolism (PE), it can trigger CTEPH. However, up to half of all patients with CTPEH do not have a history of PE. In 2008, the World Council on Pulmonary Embolism reported that approximately 2 to 4 percent of people with PE develop CTEPH. It is a relatively rare disease. Only about 5,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with CTEPH each year. Because many patients with CTEPH have no history of PE, or don’t know they have PE, it can be overlooked or not suspected.

Risk factors for PE and CTEPH
Risk factors for pulmonary embolism include:
• Long periods of inactivity. This can include bed rest due to surgery or illness, or even a long trip by car or plane.
• Certain types of surgery, such as joint replacement of the hip or knee
• Older age
• Certain diseases, including peripheral artery disease, heart disease and cancer
• Family or personal history of blood clots
• Smoking
• Obesity
• A history of taking synthetic estrogen in the form of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy
The risk factors for developing CTEPH include:
• Large PE or more than one episode of PE
• Previous surgical removal of the spleen
• Chronic inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease and osteomyelitis
• History of cancer
• Female sex
• Hypercoagulability disorders

What are the symptoms of CTEPH?
Many people who develop pulmonary hypertension after PE go through a so-called “honeymoon period” when they do not have any symptoms. When symptoms develop, they are vague and non-specific in the early stages of the disease. These include:
• Shortness of breath with exercise
• Chest discomfort
• Fatigue

Symptoms of later-stage disease include fainting and signs of right heart failure, such as fluid retention (edema) and blue-tinged fingers and toes (cyanosis).
Some patients with CTEPH never have any early symptoms. Most times, the disease is discovered in these patients when they develop late-stage symptoms or during an autopsy.

CTEPH is a unique and curable form of PH. Unlike PAH, the principal therapy is surgery. Without surgery, patients with CTEPH have a poor prognosis and succumb to right heart failure. Despite advances in CT, the screening test of choice for CTEPH remains a VQ scan. Even a single segmental perfusion defect in a patient with PH or unexplained dyspnea should alert the clinician to the possibility of chronic thromboembolic disease. Pulmonary endarterectomy remains an effective and relatively safe surgery if performed at an experienced center. Current data do not support medical treatment with PAH-approved therapies either in lieu of or as bridge to pulmonary endarterectomy. Whether a subset of patients with predominantly small-vessel disease can benefit from medical therapy is unknown. The difficulty, however, remains in identifying the subset of patients with significant inoperable, small-vessel disease prior to endarterectomy. Until a more objective, reliable preoperative test emerges to assist with predicting postoperative hemodynamic results, all patients with CTEPH should be considered for surgery.

How do you avoid going to an emergency medical care?

Urinary Tract Infection – UTI (fever, common with elderly ) ; avoided with proper hygiene; use of cranberry juice
Sprains and strains ; preventive measures
Kidney stones ; regular doctor care and physical check-up
Stomach ache (can be related to food poisoning and other ailments); hot compress on tummy; hygiene ; do not eat in restaurants with questionable sanitary conditions

Others: Ear ache from impacted wax (hydrogen peroxide cleaning); tooth ache (preventive measures, tea tree/flosing/hygiene); blood pressure (diet and lifestyle; consume whole foods); falls (prevention at home); stroke (prevention and regular doctor care for elderly)

Many more such clinics are needed, staffed perhaps by newly licensed doctors, physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Or, as Dr. Marvin Moser, a professor of medicine at Yale, suggested in an interview, “Parts of hospitals that are closing could be kept open as walk-in clinics, where costs are considerably less, there are no four-hour waits and no automatic tendency to admit patients to the hospital.”

Group practices can — and often do — rotate having a doctor on call during off-hours, weekends and holidays. Virtually every doctor has a cellphone, and those in solo practices should be asked to give patients the number or include it in the recorded message when the office is closed.
If you have a chronic medical problem, such as a heart condition or asthma, your doctor should devise a care plan that will reduce the chances of a crisis that requires emergency care. Comprehensive patient education, especially for those with chronic conditions, can help to alleviate concerns when a symptom occurs. If your doctor does not provide such information verbally or in print, ask for it or educate yourself by researching your ailment on the Web. Better yet, get a new doctor who tells you what to expect and when to seek medical help.

Adding to problems with emergency room care are high and widely ranging out-of-pocket costs to patients for seemingly identical conditions.
Dr. Moser said his 11-year-old granddaughter, who had a bad stomachache, received questionable tests at outrageous charges at an emergency room in California where the child’s doctor had told the family to take her. The bill included $356 for a routine blood count, $1,212 for a blood analysis and $1,135 for a sonogram — not to mention $1,288 just for walking in the door.

In a new study, Dr. Renee Y. Hsia of the University of California, San Francisco, and co-authors found that among the 10 most common outpatient conditions seen in emergency rooms nationally, charges ranged from $4 to $24,110 for sprains and strains; $15 to $17,797 for headaches; $128 to $39,408 for kidney stones; and $50 to $73,002 for urinary tract infections.

Female sex hormones play a greater role than male sex hormones on neuromuscular ability for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

The study investigated the role of sex and the role of ammonia and amino acid metabolism, specifically the activity of glutamine synthetase, in survival and disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

It concluded that sex is an important factor in disease progression and the response of SOD1 mice to a drug targeting a central enzyme in nitrogen metabolism, with female sex hormones playing a greater role than male sex hormones. Glutamine synthetase, or its reactants and products, therefore plays a role in this disease, and the sex specificity of treatments aimed at this or other metabolic targets may therefore be an important factor in the development of therapies to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The study tested treatment with methionine sulfoximine (MSO) on the lifespan and neuromuscular ability of male and female SOD1 mice as measured by their ability to maintain their grip on an inverted wire grid. And also tested the effects of castration and ovariectomization on those measurements.

Results: MSO treatment improves the survival of both male and female mice, but the effects are significantly greater on female mice. Saline-treated (control) female mice have delayed neuromuscular degeneration compared with saline-treated male mice, and MSO further delays disease progression in females, to a greater extent than in males. Ovariectomization or castration completely eliminates the effect of the drug on either survival or neuromuscular deterioration.

Verbal memory deficits in recreational Ecstasy/MDMA users

The study concluded that verbal learning and recall deficits of recreational Ecstasy or MDMA users are correlated with glucose hypometabolism in prefrontal and parietal cortex, while word recognition was additionally correlated with mediotemporal hypometabolism. We conclude that memory deficits of MDMA users arise from combined fronto-parieto-mediotemporal dysfunction.
Ecstasy or 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a recreational club drug with supposed neurotoxic effects selectively on the serotonin system. MDMA users consistently exhibit memory dysfunction but there is an ongoing debate if these deficits are induced mainly by alterations in the prefrontal or mediotemporal cortex, especially the hippocampus. Thus, we investigated the relation of verbal memory deficits with alterations of regional cerebral brain glucose metabolism (rMRGlu) in recreational MDMA users.
Methods
Brain glucose metabolism in rest was assessed using 2-deoxy-2-(18F)fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography (18FDG PET) in 19 male recreational users of MDMA and 19 male drug-naïve controls. 18FDG PET data were correlated with memory performance assessed with a German version of the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test.
Results
As previously shown, MDMA users showed significant impairment in verbal declarative memory performance. PET scans revealed significantly decreased rMRGlu in the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal and inferior parietal cortex, bilateral thalamus, right hippocampus, right precuneus, right cerebellum, and pons (at the level of raphe nuclei) of MDMA users. Among MDMA users, learning and recall were positively correlated with rMRGlu predominantly in bilateral frontal and parietal brain regions, while recognition was additionally related to rMRGlu in the right mediotemporal and bihemispheric lateral temporal cortex. Moreover, cumulative lifetime dose of MDMA was negatively correlated with rMRGlu in the left dorsolateral and bilateral orbital and medial PFC, left inferior parietal and right lateral temporal cortex.

Inhibition of human aromatase (estrogen synthetase) by plant Flavone (flavonoids), for breast cancer prevention

Flavone and isoflavone phytoestrogens are plant chemicals and are known to be competitive inhibitors of cytochrome P450 aromatase with respect to the androgen substrate. Aromatase is the enzyme that converts androgen to estrogen; therefore, these plant chemicals are thought to be capable of modifying the estrogen level in women.
The study concluded that Flavones are stronger inhibitors of aromatase than isoflavones.
In this study, the inhibition profiles of four flavones [chrysin (5, 7-dihydroxyflavone), 7,8-dihydroxyflavone, baicalein (5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone), and galangin (3,5,7-trihydroxyflavone)], two isoflavones [genistein (4,5,7-trihydroxyisoflavone) and biochanin A (5,7-dihydroxy-4-methoxyisoflavone)], one flavanone [naringenin (4, 5,7-trihydroxyflavanone)], and one naphthoflavone (alpha-naphthoflavone) on the wild-type and six human aromatase mutants (I133Y, P308F, D309A, T310S, I395F, and I474Y) were determined.
In combination with computer modeling, the binding characteristics and the structure requirement for flavone and isoflavone phytoestrogens to inhibit human aromatase were obtained. These compounds were found to bind to the active site of aromatase in an orientation in which rings A and C mimic rings D and C of the androgen substrate, respectively.

DIABETES-What Our Plants Are Good For” by Finnish herbalist Toivo
Rautavaara sez “There are components in blueberry leaves that have an
effect on diabetes; they can at least partly substitute insulin. The
American, Allen, calls the blueberry “plant insulin”. European studies
(Wasicky) have shown that dogs that had been made diabetic by removing their pancreas could be kept alive as long as they were regularly given blueberry leaf tea. Eppinger, Mark, Wagner and Kauffmann among others have discovered in clinical studies the effect blueberry leaf decoction has on human diabetics: the sugar is
reduced in the urine and tolerance for sugar increases. In their medical
directions for diabetics, Lasker and Kroeber have used bean peels,
blackberry leaves, nettle leaves in addition to blueberry leaves.”

FOOD POISONING- CHICKEN Meat can smell good and still carry this killer bug. It kills oldsters, babies and cats! The bug hits with an intense headache and bowel cramps, and fever. The headache is like a hammerblow to back of skull. It’s toxins, so do up to 5 grams a day of powdered Vit C. Get out a heating pad, plug it in over tummy and stay in bed with a remote clicker. I went thru it and never medicated at all, just to see what would happen. You will probably then experience 15 days of cramps, a non functioning bowel & not necessarily a conspicuous diaharrea, either.Just a few tsps of mucus emerging. But go organic in your cure. At first suspicion of a bad chicken being in your gut, take Tumeric capsules 3 at a time, 3x a day. Don’t eat tumeric on your dinner; it stains the teeth! It is the spice that gives curry powder its color and background flavor if not its kick. Take Ginger, the real root, — raw, grated into tea. HOT HERBAL TEAS of all sorts are always best for gut poisons. L-Cystine is an amino acid that will clean out the toxins. CHARCOAL capsules, small amt. Will detox a poison. If you have any fairly recent Penicillin. Any of the rethymicins take one three times a day. Drink “Acid-ade” made with 2 tbsps of red, organic apple
vinegar in glass of water, use instead of water all day. Add raw, crushed
garlic to anything you eat. An avocado is a great vehicle, little raw onion
grated in, (another bug killer,) lime juice over all. Tomato. Delicious way to bug the bugs in your gut out of business. As a life habit, Cover raw meat/fish with rosemary branches when in fridge. BEST not to keep raw meat ever. COOK it second you bring it home, and cook l00%

SALMONELLA CHICKEN Meat can smell good and still carry this killer bug. It kills oldsters, babies and cats! The bug hits with an intense headache and bowel cramps, and fever. The headache is like a hammerblow to back of
skull. It’s toxins, so do up to 5 grams a day of powdered Vit C. Get out a
heating pad, plug it in over tummy and stay in bed with a remote clicker. I went thru it and never medicated at all, just to see what would happen. You will probably then experience 15 days of cramps, a non functioning bowel & not necessarily a conspicuous diaharrea, either.Just a few tsps of mucus emerging. But go organic in your cure. At first suspicion of a bad chicken being in your gut, take Tumeric capsules 3 at a time, 3x a day. Don’t eat
tumeric on your dinner; it stains the teeth! It is the spice that gives
curry powder its color and background flavor if not its kick. Take Ginger, the real root, — raw, grated into tea. HOT HERBAL TEAS of all sorts are always best for gut poisons. L-Cystine is an amino acid that will clean out the toxins. CHARCOAL capsules, small amt. Will detox a poison. If you have any fairly recent Penicillin. Any of the rethymicins take one three times a day. Drink “Acid-ade” made with 2 tbsps of red, organic apple vinegar in glass of water, use instead of water all day. Add raw, crushed garlic to anything you eat. An avocado is a great vehicle, little raw onion grated in, (another bug killer,) lime juice over all. Tomato. Delicious way to bug the bugs in your gut out of business. As a life habit, Cover raw meat/fish with rosemary branches when in fridge. BEST not to keep raw meat ever. COOK it second you bring it home, and cook l00% well done! Poultry has salmonella but beef has flukes! Read HULDA CLARK on this subject.

PAL WROTE ME: I like the herbal supplement corp
http://www.iherb.com Huge variety, major names, steep bargains from retail, multiple offerings in each category; free shipping if over $50
COSMETICS: I was sick of hugely costly perfumed face creams, which make me smell this intense PERFUME for days on end, searing my lungs. On a cosmetician’s advice, I went and tried castor oil on hands, face. NO AROMA.Thick, oily, sinks in, doesn’t stay on top of the skin, it is absorbed. I got it from a company called HOME HEALTH in VIRGINIA BEACH, the CAYCE people.
And for first time, no flaking, chapping potato chip skin on my face. I put oil on, thickly, waited an hour. Then I scraped the entire face, taking off that dried, chapped layer. Then reapplied the oil It sunk in. Disappeared. Skin like a plum now, not a peach! GOOD STUFF. I know that sesame, almond, coconut, lanolin work the same,
but this is what I had on hand thanks to my cosmetician galpal! Castor oil was SO much better than even the most costly face creams. Designer face creams make my lungs burn with their excessive perfuming! AND that burns the skin too, maybe ws the cause of my chapped face.

Thyme herb for toe fungus (guava and comfrey leaves and others)

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and colleagues were surprised to find the herb thyme could make prescription drugs used to treat fungus work better. They have also found out how thymol in thyme works to fight fungi.
Some fungal infections can be severe and difficult to cure. Examples include athlete’s foot, skin and nail infections and fungus infections of the lung brought about from inhaling mold and mildew spores.
Thymol in thyme boosts systemic anti-fungal drugs
In their studies, researchers were looking for ways to attack fungus that affects food crops.
The Aspergillus mold can infect corn, cotton, pistachios, almonds and other crops, and can produce aflatoxin, a natural carcinogen. Finding ways to stop Aspergillus has been a specific focus of Bruce C. Campbell, an Agricultural Research Service (ARS) molecular biologist and Jong H. Kim, and their co-investigators since 2004.
The scientists have been building a portfolio of natural plant based compounds that can thwart Aspergillus. Removing aflatoxin contaminated crops is costly and so are agricultural fungicides. Kim says the hope is that growers of tomorrow can save money by using the compounds they’re developing.
The researcher’s newest finding builds on studies. In 2010, scientists discovered that thymol, a derivative of thyme, inhibits the growth of fungus.
They found that thymol in thyme boosted the action of two systemic antifungal prescription drugs in lab tests.
Specifically, thymol in thyme boosted the action of drugs used to treat A. flavus and two related fungi, A. fumigatus and A. terreus, fungus that can infect people with low immune function that come from moldy homes.
Another new finding from the researchers is that thyme compounds thwart the ability of fungus to recover once antifungal medications have been started.
The notion that thyme can help fight fungal infections isn’t new, but the researchers have found out how thymol work when paired with other compounds the help fight disease by destroying the ability of fungi to recover from oxidative stress induced by prescription drugs.

Connie’s comments: Boiled green guava leaves and comfrey leaves can also be used as a wash in eczematous feet. Do inspect for molds in nuts since molds can cause cancer. Eat raw nuts. For skin health, up intake of Vit C, A, D and E.
ECZEMA: Apple cider in bath tub, no showers, aveeno soap. Discontinue all cows milk products, goat ok. Bitters before meals. Proteins w. low carb vegies only, not w. starch/sugar/ dessert/ fats. Internal tea: burdock, figworth, fumatory, mountain rape, nettle, pansy, red clover and hyssop. Pour boiling water on top, let steep. EXTERNAL WASH for skin: tisane of chickweed, comfrey, golden seal, calendula petals, pansy, witch hazel. 2 tbsp herb to pt water. Burdock ointment on skin, sop w. almond oil all the time. Sulfur volatiles in guava leaves act as protection from insect vector H (IVH) and protects nearby plants. Comfrey leaves also contain sulfur volatiles. Both leaves are used in cleansing water for postpartum mothers to facilitate wound healing.

Fenugreek, for diabetes/lactating moms/to boost testosterone

fenugreek
Orally, fenugreek is used for diabetes, loss of appetite, dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, constipation, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, and for stimulating lactation. Fenugreek is used orally for kidney diseases, beriberi, hernia, and impotence and other male problems. Fenugreek is also used orally for fever, mouth ulcers, boils, bronchitis, cellulitis, tuberculosis, chronic coughs, chapped lips, baldness, and cancer.
Topically, fenugreek is used as a poultice for local inflammation, myalgia, lymphadenitis, gout, wounds, leg ulcers, and eczema.
In foods, fenugreek is included as an ingredient in spice blends. It is also used as a flavoring agent in imitation maple syrup, foods, beverages, and tobacco.
Effectiveness
Diabetes. Consuming fenugreek, mixed with food during a meal, seems to reduce postprandial blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It may be given in combination with guar gum or by itself. Muffins made from a batter consisting of foxtail and barnyard millet, in combination with legumes and fenugreek, do not produce a substantial increase in postprandial blood glucose in diabetic patients.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Clinical research shows that taking a specific fenugreek product (FenuLife, Frutarom Belgium), 2 grams twice daily 30 minutes before the two biggest meals of the day, significantly improves symptoms of heartburn after one week of treatment and continuing through the 2-week study period. Fenugreek was as effective as taking ranitidine 75 mg twice daily.
Hypercholesterolemia. There is conflicting evidence about the use of fenugreek for lowering serum cholesterol.
Hypertriglyceridemia. Preliminary clinical research suggests fenugreek might lower triglycerides in people with type 2 diabetes.
More evidence is needed to rate fenugreek for these uses.

Mechanism of Action
The applicable part of fenugreek is the seed. The active constituents include trigonelline, 4-hydroxyisoleucine, and sotolon. Fenugreek seeds have a distinctive bitter taste and odor. Sotolon is frequently used as a flavoring for artificial maple syrup. Soaking fenugreek seeds overnight and washing the seeds in water can decrease some of the taste and odor.
Fenugreek seeds contain about 50% dietary fiber and pectin and may affect gastrointestinal transit, slowing glucose absorption. About 80% of the total content of free amino acids in the seeds is present as 4-hydroxyisoleucine, which appears to directly stimulate insulin. This effect is glucose dependent and only occurs in the presence of moderate to high glucose concentrations.
Some evidence suggests the seed consumption might decrease calcium oxalate deposition in the kidneys.
Fenugreek contains coumarins and other constituents that might affect platelet aggregation, but this might not be significant clinically.
Preliminary research suggests fenugreek has stimulating effects on the uterus, intestine, and heart.

Serum vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 as predictor of Chronic Heart Failure

Circulatory_system

The study concluded that vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) appears to be useful in risk stratification of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and in screening, to identify subjects at risk for heart failure related events.

To assess the prognostic significance of four inflammatory markers (TNF-α, high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)) in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients with respect to individual outcomes, especially disease exacerbation and mortality.
Methods:
Plasma adhesion molecules, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1, together with TNF-α and hs-CRP were determined in 120 CHF patients and 69 healthy controls. Endothelial function was also estimated by flow-mediated brachial artery dilatation.
Results:
Increased levels of all investigated inflammatory markers were found in CHF patients compared to controls, with the rise more pronounced in New York Heart association (NYHA) functional IV class. Significant correlations were obtained for VCAM-1 and brain natriuretic peptide, as well as, ICAM-1 and endothelium-dependent vasodilatation. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed disease exacerbation in patients with TNF-α levels;2.78 pg/ml significantly shorter compared to those with TNF-α levels;2.78 pg/ml, while similar association was observed for patients with hs-CRP levels;4.76 mg/l and VCAM-1 levels;1200 ng/l with respect to mortality. Cox regression analysis demonstrated only VCAM-1 as independent death predictor, while TNF-α was associated with disease exacerbation.

About: Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 is a type I membrane protein that mediates leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and signal transduction, and may play a role in the development of artherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. During inflammation, adhesion molecules regulate recruitment of leukocytes to inflamed tissues. It is reported that vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) activates extracellular regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), but the mechanism for this activation is not known.

Connie’s comments: Our vascular system needs to be in excellent shape in circulating oxygen and expelling waste products. Our circulation is clogged when it is in acidic environment. Up your intake of whole foods (fiber-rich foods), such as veggies, nuts and grains and colored fruits to clean your body from the acidic system created by eating red meats and dairy products (milk from hormone-fed animals).

Alzheimer’s Disease and ABCA7 gene, for lipid homeostasis in cells of the immune system

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White).
This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This full transporter has been detected predominantly in myelo-lymphatic tissues with the highest expression in peripheral leukocytes, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. The function of this protein is not yet known; however, the expression pattern suggests a role in lipid homeostasis in cells of the immune system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Connie’s comments: Our lymphatic system cleans our body from waste products/toxins. Our body needs to balance fat metabolism and absorption. There is an increased chance of finding more cancer/abnormal cells in our fat tissues. We have to protect our bodies from toxins by consuming only whole foods, living a lifestyle with less stress and avoidance of toxins or exitotoxicities.
