Lesson we learn from our disabilities – never give up

At the abilities.com fair last weekend in San Mateo Event Center, there are many distributors of products to help disabled families.

One attendee reminded me of not giving up in every health issue we encounter in life. She is in her 80s and both her daughter and grandson are battling a rare disease.

Antioxidants and insulin sensitivity

Researchers have shown that red wine and tea may both hold promise for regulating the blood sugar of people with type 2 diabetes.

Levels of blood glucose rise sharply in patients with type 2 diabetes immediately following a meal. Red wine and tea contain antioxidants that help to slow the passage of glucose through the small intestine and into the bloodstream, which can prevent the blood sugar spike.

Keeping blood sugar levels normal is one of the key challenges of managing diabetes; doing so can help prevent the disease from contributing to heart disease and high blood pressure as well as damaging the eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels.

In the study, researchers tested how well wine and tea could inhibit the activity of a target enzyme called alpha-glucosidase, which is responsible for triggering the absorption of glucose by the small intestine.

Scientists were able to turn pro-inflammatory cells into anti-inflammatory cells

Summary: According to a Nature study, researchers developed a method to reprogram specific T cells in the immune system. Scientists were able to turn pro-inflammatory cells into anti-inflammatory cells, and vice versa, to boost or suppress the immune system. Researchers believe their findings could have significant impact on developing treatments for autoimmune diseases.

Rheumatoid arthritis: increased inflammation among smokers and toxic drug-induced liver failure

I wish to comment on the following topics, Rheumatoid Arthritis, inflammation and liver.  Rheumatoid Arthritis brings pain to sufferers and is exacerbated by smoking and over medication, taxing the liver. When pain happens, the liver is giving a signal that it can no longer detox the body.  The best route is to clean the body fromContinue reading “Rheumatoid arthritis: increased inflammation among smokers and toxic drug-induced liver failure”

Garlic for bladder and other organ health

This study investigated the possible effects and molecular mechanisms of diallyl disulfide (DADS) against cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in rats. Inflammation response was assessed by histopathology and serum cytokines levels. We determined the protein expressions of nuclear transcription factor kappa-B (NF-κB), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), oxidativeContinue reading “Garlic for bladder and other organ health”

Anti-inflammatory herbs: panax notoginseng and others

PnS has an obvious anti-inflammatory effect and its mechanisms are related to the inhibition of the Neu-[Ca2+]i level and PLA2 activity, and reduction of Din content. Herbal medicines have traditionally played a major role in the management of diabetes in Asian countries for centuries. Panax notoginseng (Burk) F. H. Chen (Araliaceae) known as Tiánqī orContinue reading “Anti-inflammatory herbs: panax notoginseng and others”

Ellagic acid in berries, pomegranates, grapes, and walnuts as anti-inflammatory

Phytochemicals — chemicals found in plant foods — might have health benefits that explain why fruits and vegetables are good for you, just like your mom said. Potential benefits of one phytochemical, ellagic acid, include decreasing cancer risk and lowering cholesterol. Ellagitannins, which break down into ellagic acid when you consume them, are one ofContinue reading “Ellagic acid in berries, pomegranates, grapes, and walnuts as anti-inflammatory”

That compound is anthocyanins. The anthocyanins are actually present all the time in the leaves of many trees, it is just maskedContinue reading “Cherries and red cabbage as anti-arthritis and anti-skin cancer”

10 Early Signs of Parkinson’s Disease That Doctors Often Miss

By Melanie Haiken, http://www.Caring.com Let’s be honest: A diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease can be pretty unnerving. In fact, an April 2011 survey by the National Parkinson’s Foundation revealed that people will avoid visiting the doctor to discuss Parkinson’s even when experiencing worrisome symptoms, such as a tremor. The problem, however, is that waiting prevents youContinue reading “10 Early Signs of Parkinson’s Disease That Doctors Often Miss”
