GREEN TEA DECREASES LUNG CANCER RISK, ACCORDING TO STUDY BY ZHANG ET AL., NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE

 

A study by Zhang et al, concluded that accumulating observational studies support that green tea consumption can decrease lung cancer risk. [1] 

Green tea consumption decreases lung cancer risk

Green tea consumption is known to decrease lung cancer risk in the general population, as indicated by the meta-analyses of observational studies. [1] 

Green tea

Green tea is a popular beverage worldwide and has numerous health-promoting properties. According to Zhang et al., accumulating evidence indicates that green tea has preventive and therapeutic effects on lung cancer. The Zhang et al. study aimed to investigate the association between green tea consumption and lung cancer. [1] The researchers performed a narrative review to summarize the association between green tea consumption and lung cancer.

Theabrownin and EGCG mediate anti-tumour activity

Two active components of green tea, theabrownin and (-) -epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) mediate the anti-tumour activity of green tea. [1] 

Theabrownin promotes apoptosis, induces cell cycle arrest, and inhibits the migration, clone formation, and proliferation of lung cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo. EGCG inhibits lung cancer cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis, agenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). 

Further, EGCG sensitizes lung cancer cells to cisplatin and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The possible molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumour activity of EGCG and theabrownin were reviewed. [1]

In vitro studies demonstrated that EGCG and theabrownin can inhibit the growth, EMT, stemness and angiogenesis of lung cancer and promote apoptosis. [1]

Anti-cancer activity

EGCG also showed anti-cancer activity in a lung cancer sufferer. [1] In a phase I trial of patients with locally advanced stage III NSCLC who received chemotherapy (cisplatin and etoposide) and radiation, oral administration of EGCG did not cause dose-limiting toxicities and could reduce the pain score of patients. [1]  

Esophagitis regression

Dramatic regression of esophagitis to grade 0-1 was observed in >90% of the patients.[1] These results indicated that EGCG is safe and effective in improving lung cancer patients' quality. [1] 

In addition, some studies also revealed that the derivates of EGCG also exert anti-lung cancer activity. [1]

Notably, most of the clinical evidence came from observational studies. [1]

RESCUE REMEDY

 

Star of Bethlehem flowers

Rescue remedy: this fabulous remedy has been used by many people who find it most helpful. I remember seeing a medical specialist opening a top desk drawer many years ago: in pride of place was a bottle of rescue remedy drops. Rescue remedy is a mixture of pure spring water in which beautiful flowers have been floated in the sunshine. A drop or two of alcohol acts as preservative. There is also a rescue remedy which is alcohol free.

Rescue remedy is the most famous of Dr Bach remedies. It is a blend of 5 different Bach Flower remedies. Rescue remedy was created by Dr Bach to deal with emergencies, fear, grief, tearfulness, trauma, crisis, worry or stressful situations. It is also helpful for anxiety or insomnia. Rescue remedy helps in a natural way to relax, be focused, and attain the calm needed to deal with stressful situations.

The five flowers which are incorporated in rescue remedy are: impatiens, Star of Bethlehem, cherry plum, rock rose and clematis. Their botanical names are impatiens - Impatiens gladulifera. Star of Bethlehem - Orithogalum umbellatum. Cherry plum - Prunus cerasifera. Rock rose - Helianthemum. Clematis - Clematis vitalba. 

The Star of Bethlehem is a deeply symbolic flower. It is native to the Mediterranean region, and grows wild across the countryside. The flowers feature six petals in a star shape, with multiple blooms clustering on each stem. The plant name comes from the shape of the flower, which resembles the biblical Star of Bethlehem which marked the Birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

The Star of Bethlehem - as a flower with a name which has connection with Christianity - symbolises purity, innocence and hope. A charming tale links the Star of Bethlehem as a flower sent by Heaven on the night of Christ's Birth to celebrate the heavenly event. 

Do not take rescue remedy if you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients. Dosage is taken according to the directions on the rescue remedy bottle and pamphlet. Always check with your doctor first before beginning any new medication or remedy.

BACH FLOWER ESSENCES

 

"Every single person has a life to live, a work to do, a glorious personality, a wonderful individuality"

Dr Edward Bach

DR EDWARD BACH, A BACTERIOLOGIST AND PATHOLOGIST WORKING IN WALES IN THE 1930s WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO PREPARE FLOWER ESSENCES. 

Dr Bach became convinced that human illnesses were often symptoms of basic imbalances in the personality and the emotional life. He believed that flowers had the power to ease mental stress. Initially he prepared a dozen flower essences and named them the "Twelve Healers". These were followed by a further 26 remedies, making a total of 38. 

Each essence is said to help dissipate a particular unpleasant emotion, such as worry, fear or anxiety. Bach prepared the remedies in liquid form so they would be easy to blend to create personalized treatments. [1]

Made from the blossoms of plants and trees, flower essences are prepared in water and preserved in alcohol. They are used for their possible impact on the mind and spirit, to reverse negative mental states and re-balance the emotions. Their gentle action - there are no known adverse effects - make them an ideal complement to other treatments. [1]

They are not meant to replace professional healthcare or therapy. They are rather intended to help the individual deal with underlying emotional problems. [1] Studies have found that Bach remedies are safe. Some have a small amount of alcohol, so check the label if you want to avoid it. [2] 

How to use Bach flower remedies

Approach a trained Bach flower therapist. Alternatively, take the time to think about how you feel and match your feelings to the essences. Consider investing in a reference book which gives full details about each remedy. A few drops of the Bach flower remedy within pure water  may be taken, the dosage measured according to the instructions given with the purchased remedy Checking with your general practitioner when planning to take Bach flower remedies is a sound guideline. 

Rescue remedy

Many have found the flower essence "Rescue remedy" helpful, particularly in situations where a shock has been experienced or severe anxiety undergone. A typical composition of rescue remedy is the aqueous infusion with regard to Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose and Star of Bethlehem, as well as a small amount of alcohol. 

This blend of floral essences chosen by Dr Edward Bach was based on the following precepts:

Rock Rose for fearlessness

Impatiens for patience

Clematis for focus

Star of Bethlehem for comfort

Cherry Plum for composure [3]

The Twelve Healers

The flower essences known as the Twelve Healers originally used by Dr Bach are: 

Essence and Principal symptoms

Agrimony - Concealed anxiety

Centaury - Excessive desire to please, lack of assertiveness

Cerato - Doubting your judgment and decision-making

HERBS AND HEALTH

 

THERE IS NOTHING NEW ABOUT THE USE OF HERBS TO PROMOTE RECOVERY, HEALTH AND WELLBEING. 

Every culture has at some point used healing plants as the basis for medicine, and a basic healing flora from which relevant remedies are chosen. For millennia plants have proven efficacious as healing agents. Herbs are used within the Ayurvedic health system of India, and in Chinese medicine. 

Plants form an important part of the spiritual healing ecology of North Americans. Echinacea, depended upon by many for its healing properties, are found only in central and eastern North America. Many of the current medications in use still trace their origin to plant material. [1]

Europe has used herbal healing plants for centuries; lavender, rosemary, thyme, sage, basil, rose, parsley and mint are everyday aids in the search for optimum health. Africa has wonderful herbs; many indigenous healing agents grow bountifully in the fertile soil, such as the aloe, rooibos, African wild potato and buchu. Australia and New Zealand are home to the internationally known manuka honey; a monofloral honey produced from the nectar of the manuka tree. 

Holistic Medicine

'Holistic' medicine deals with the 'whole' person. This form of medicine treats the body as a whole and integrated system, not a collection of isolated systems.

The word 'healing' has its roots in the Greek 'holos'; the same word which gives rise to the words 'whole' and 'holistic'. Emotions, thought-life and spiritual flow are as important to health as the state of tissues and organs of the body. The whole of the human being - physical, mental and spiritual - is involved in the process of healing.

Herbal medicine realizes that herbs can work on the whole being 'synergistically'. [2] This means that a herbal remedy's whole effect is greater than the sum of individual constituents.

Individual patterns

When people seek healing, herbal medicine can play an important part. However, medicine cannot be fully holistic until acknowledgement of the individual's patterns of thought, behavior, work and culture - that may have impact on the disease itself - is acknowledged.

An example of this is; if an employee in a fast paced and profit driven company finds him or herself struggling to fall asleep after working an eighteen hour day, the lengthy work hours with high mental stimulation may have a bearing on the difficulty.

The simple solution would not merely to consider the prescription of a medication to assist sleep; it would be to look 'holistically' at the fact that excess working hours under less than optimum working conditions may be causing the body to beg its owner for more merciful working conditions by voicing its discomfort through sleeplessness and emotional misery.

Holistic Diagnosis

In Ayurvedic medicine, prayer and prayerful exercise form part of the prescription. The thought behind prayer and forgiveness exercises is that a mind and spirit at peace with self, others and the world will be in harmony. This creates optimum conditions for holistic healing to occur.

Root supportive causes

The prescription of medications, herbal and otherwise, will not completely heal an ailment unless root supportive causes of the ailment are examined and dealt with.

Anger issues are approached by becoming aware of indulgence in excess anger, which has effect on the heart and other organs of the body.

Ungoverned temper outbursts, nurtured anger, old grudges mulled over and not forgiven, have their effect on both body and mind.

Unmonitored eating habits have their effect on body, mind and spirit. Excess eating leads to extra body weight. Extra body weight leads to obesity, overburdening of the organs of the body, and structural overload of the knees and feet. 

Remember that unexplained weight gain may be due to parasitic infection such as tapeworm, liver flukes. If so, expert medical assistance would be advisable.

Pain in the knees and feet are not best treated merely with pain relieving medications or gels [analgesia]. Tackling the root cause of the structural overload - excess weight bearing down on the lower limbs which were not constructed to carry such heavy loads, but a lighter, more realistic load - is important for full health to be maintained. Years of structural overload on knees can lead to possible knee replacements being found necessary. This can be avoided by timely intervention.

Excess intake of alcohol loads the body with sugar. A pint of cider can contain as many as five teaspoons of sugar - almost as much as the World Health Organization recommends you do not exceed per day. Alcohol can also negatively alter blood sugar levels, putting those who imbibe large amounts of alcohol at risk of alcohol-related diabetes. [3]

HERBAL MEDICINE - AS OLD AS HUMANITY

 

ARCHEOLOGISTS ARE FINDING EARLIER AND EARLIER EXAMPLES OF PLANTS USED BY PEOPLE AS MEDICINE. One of the most fascinating aspects of this is that peoples of many cultures, living under different conditions and at times without contact with one another, all found the same plant families medicinally active and useful. These same plant families are still used today.
When workmen excavating the ruins of Pompeii gathered the native medicinal plants growing there, Wilhelmina Jashemski discovered that this was another example of continuity of life under the shadow of Vesuvius.
Many of the plants used for herbal medicine around Pompeii today are the same one that ancient authorities such as Dioscorides and Pliny the Elder recommended for treating the same type of disorders. [1]

Oldest written records
The oldest written records that document the medicinal use of plants come from the ancient Sumerians who lived in Mesopotamia from 5500 BC.
They kept extensive written records on clay tablets that record the plants they used, what they used them for, the methods of preparation and the dosages.
The Babylonians and the Assyrians followed in their footsteps.
There was a huge trade in aromatic plants in the ancient world, most often in the forms of oils, gums and resins.
The highly skilled physicians of Egypt were well known for their use of fragrant plants; among them, cedar, myrrh and frankincense. [2]

Egyptian Medicine
Ancient Egyptian scrolls document natural herbs and holistic medicine that cured disease and saved lives.
Egyptian medical practice remained consistent in highly advanced methods for the time.
Surgery, bone-setting and an extensive pharmacopoeia were widely used by the skilled Egyptians.
Egyptian medical practitioners were held in the highest regard, and Homer [c 800BC] wrote in the Odyssey,
'The Egyptians were skilled in medicine more than any other art.'
Egyptian medical thought influenced later traditions, including the Greeks.

In 440BC the Greek historian Herodotus visited Egypt and wrote extensively about their medical practices.
Pliny the Elder also wrote - and most favourably - about Egyptian medical practice.
The great Hippocrates - known as the 'Father of Medicine', Herophilos, Erasistratus, and later the luminous Galen, studied at the Temple of Amenhotep. They acknowledged the contribution of ancient Egyptian medicine to Greek medicine.
[It is interesting to note that Galen invented cold cream, which is used in face masks, lip balms, to remove make-up and as a shaving cream.
This cooling cream has both healing and moisturizing properties for the skin.]

Egyptian ancient medical documents
Ancient Egyptian medical documents have enlightened us about the extent and depth of the practitioners' knowledge.
Sets of documents include the Ebers Papyrus, the Edwin Smith Papyrus, the Hearst Papyrus, the London Medical Papyrus and others date back as far as 3000BC. [3]

The Edwin Smith Papyrus is a surgical textbook, detailing observations and the examination, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of many ailments.
It is probable that this book was written about 1600BC.
Imhotep, the famous and multi-talented Chief Official of the Pharoah Djoser, is considered to have been the author of this amazing work.
Today this Papyrus is reportedly on display at the Brooklyn's Children's Museum, New York City.
The 48 medical cases described with the Edwin Smith Papyrus are;

• 27 head injuries [cases #1-27]
• 6 throat and neck injuries [cases #28-33]
• 2 clavicular injuries (collarbone injuries) [cases #34-35]
• 3 injuries to the arm [cases #36-38]
• 8 injuries to the sternum (breastbone) [cases #39-44]
• 1 tumour and 1 abscess to the breast [cases #45-46]
• 1 injury to the shoulder [case #47]
• 1 injury to the spine [case #48]    [4]

Herbs in Ancient Healing
The ancient physicians were well aware of the healing power of herbs.
The Ebers Papyrus - a scroll of 110 pages which rolls out to about 20 meters long - is a famous medicine plant 'encyclopedia'.
Egyptians consumed raw garlic and onions for endurance; to heal athsma and to deal with bronchial-pulmonary illnesses.
They often steeped their herbs in wine, and used them as medicine to be taken orally [by mouth].
The Egyptian herbs were natural, uncontaminated by pesticides or fluoridated water.
Evidence of the medicinal use of myrrh, fennel, frankincense, cassia, aloe, thyme, juniper and garlic were documented by the Egyptians.
Freshly peeled garlic cloves, mashed and macerated in vinegar and water mixture, were used as a rinse for sore throats and for toothache.

Remedies described in the Ebers Papyrus
Remedies documented in the Ebers Papyrus include the use of the following herbs in varying ways for various disorders;

• Aloe vera
• Basil
• Balsam apple
• Bayberry
• Caraway
• Colchicum
• Dill
• Fenugreek
• Frankincense
• Garlic
• Licorice
• Onion
• Parsley
• Thyme
• Poppy
• Coriander
• Pomegranate root  [5]
