Benefits of Asparagus

The asparagus is a member of the lily family. Here is a list of some of the health benefits of asparagus followed by a list further explaining those health benefits.

Asparagus:

1 - can detoxify our system

2 - has anti-aging functions

3 - is considered an aphrodisiac

4 - can protect against cancer

5 - reduces pain and inflammation

6 - can prevent osteoporosis and osteoarthritis

7 - reduces the risk of heart disease

8 - can help prevent birth defects

The Reasons Asparagus Keeps Us Healthy:

1 - As a detox - asparagus has 288 milligrams of potassium per cup. Potassium is known for reducing belly fat (see belly fat link below). It also contains 3 grams of fiber which cleanses the digestive system. It has virtually no natural sodium so no bloating during PMS, has no fat or cholesterol, and one cup has only 40 calories. According to a clinical dietician at UCLA Medical Center, asparagus in the ultimate in detox vegetables.

2 - For anti-aging purposes - asparagus is rich in potassium, vitamin A, and folate. It is also very high in glutathione - an amino acid compound with protent antioxidant properties; a must as an anti-aging deterrent. Glutathione (GSH) is an antioxidant that protects cells from toxins such as free radicals.

3 - As an aphrodisiac - the asparagus is considered a psycho-physiological aphrodisiac because of its shape. It is said to trigger the mind to have a physiological response. The French word for asparagus is asperge; asperge is a slang word for penis.

4 - Against cancer - asparagus in high in folate which is now known to be an important protection against cancer. Note: Folate is found naturally in leafy green vegetables, and citrus fruits. While folic acid is said to be the same as folate, folic acid is the supplemental form. It is always recommeded that you get health benefits from eating healthy whole foods.

5 - Reducing pain and inflammation - it is the folate that helps reduce inflammation.

6 - Preventing osteoporosis and osteoarthritis - asparagus has vitamin K which studies have shown can help prevent osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Vitamin K aids in bone formation and repair. It is also necessary for the synthesis of osteocalcin. Osteocalcin is the protein in bone tissue on which calcium crystallizes. Asparagus has been listed as the number one source of vitamin K.

7 - Reducing the risk of heart disease - it is the folate that has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease.

8 - Preventing birth defects - getting enough folate (doctors often recommend the folic acid supplement) is especially important for women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Having a folate deficiency has been correlated with increased risk of Spina Bifida (a spinal cord birth defect) and also anencephaly (a neural tube defect). Folate helps to regulate embryonic and fetal nerve cell formation and may also help to prevent premature births.

Additionally, studies have shown that the nutritional benefits of asparagus can help prevent and treat urinary tract infections and kidney stones. Overall, asparagus is rich in potassium, vitamin A, folate, glutathione, and vitamin K. It is high in fiber, has no sodium, is low in calories and has no cholesterol or fat

Asparagus Has Potential to Benefit Hepatitis C

Research out of Korea suggests that asparagus is a liver protector, a notion that could benefit Hepatitis C sufferers.

Everyday choices such as what to eat for dinner can have an impact on someone with Hepatitis C. Because certain foods can help liver function while others may hinder it, nutritional awareness is a key component of any Hepatitis C health regimen. More specifically, eating asparagus has demonstrated the capability to protect the liver from toxicity.

From a basic dietary perspective, increasing the proportion of fruit and vegetables per meal is guaranteed to support your liver's health. Produce contains fiber and is packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that optimize cellular function. For someone with Hepatitis C, this translates to helping fortify and protect liver cells from the inflammation and cellular damage of a chronic liver virus. However, choosing asparagus as your veggie might offer someone with Hepatitis C more help than previously thought.

According to an article published in the Journal of Food Science, "an extract from asparagus may increase the function of enzymes in the liver and boost the metabolism of alcohol." Researchers from Korea concluded that, "the leaves of A. officinalis, which are normally discarded, have the potential for use in therapy designed to protect the liver from various harmful insults."

Although the information given by investigators is insufficient to launch an asparagus eating campaign, the news comes as no surprise to many alternative healthcare providers. Due to its anticancer effects, asparagus has been used for centuries as an herbal medicine in Asia. In addition, asparagus is purported to have the following properties:

· Anti-fungal
· Anti-inflammatory
· Diuretic

Packed with high levels of folate, amino acids, potassium and Vitamins B and C, asparagus officinalis is a common vegetable that is widely consumed worldwide. According to researchers at the Institute of Medical Science and Jeju National University in Korea, asparagus extract may alleviate alcohol hangover and protect liver cells against toxins.

Researchers analyzed the components of young asparagus shoots and leaves to compare their biochemical effects on human and rat liver cells. They found that the cellular toxicities of chronic alcohol use were significantly alleviated in response to treatment with asparagus leaf and shoot extract.

However, these findings do not provide a solution for someone with Hepatitis C who wants to drink alcohol. This is because there is no amount of alcohol that is safe for someone with Hepatitis C. However, these results can be extrapolated and applied to Hepatitis C in a different way:

· Alcohol use causes oxidative stress on the liver just like Hepatitis C causes oxidative stress on the liver.
· Because asparagus extract protects liver cells from oxidation (and subsequent damage) from alcohol, it will also likely protect liver cells from oxidation (and subsequent damage) from a hepatitis virus.

When Not to Eat Asparagus
Asparagus contains naturally-occurring substances called purines. Certain individuals who are susceptible to purine-related problems should not eat a lot of asparagus. Since purines can be broken down to form uric acid, excess accumulation of purines in the body can lead to excess accumulation of uric acid. Thus, those with ailments due to uric acid buildup should be advised to limit or avoid purine-containing foods - like asparagus. Examples of such ailments include gout and kidney stones.

Even though the Korean research focused on how asparagus could protect the liver from the effects of alcohol, the biological mechanism of aiding liver function applies to all potential liver toxins - including Hepatitis C. Exempting people with purine-related health concerns, those managing chronic Hepatitis C will do themselves a favor when considering asparagus to star in their meals.

CARDUUS MARIANUS

Botanical Name

Silybum Marianum, Carduus Marianus
About Milk Thistle

The dried fruit of the Milk Thistle plant is used to produce modern herbal extracts. Milk Thistle has been used medicinally for over 2,000 years for liver and gall bladder problems. It's known for opening “obstructions” of the liver and spleen and has been used for the treatment of jaundice.

Nutritional Role of Milk Thistle

The active constituent in milk thistle is a flavonoid complex called silymarin, which is also a potent antioxidant. Silymarin is a group of flavonoids known as silibinin, silidianin, and silicristin, which are believed to help repair liver cells damaged by alcohol and other toxic substances. Milk thistle may protect liver cells by preventing and removing these toxins. It has been shown that silymarin can regenerate injured liver cells and has the ability to block fibrosis, a process that leads to cirrhosis of the liver. Individuals that have these type of inflammatory liver conditions due to alcohol abuse or hepatitis, may benefit from this herb. Milk thistle also changes bile makeup and may reduce the risk of gallstones.

Traditional Uses of Milk Thistle

  • For anti-inflammation properties
  • For antioxidant properties
  • For detoxification
  • For liver, spleen, and gallstones
  • For jaundice
  • For antidote to poisonous mushrooms


Research on the Historical Usage Guidelines of Milk Thistle

If you are taking medications, or being treated for liver disease, you should consult your health professional before using Milk Thistle.


Milk Thistle Facts for Informational Purposes Only

Readers should not use this information for self-diagnosis or self-treatment, but should always consult a medical professional regarding any medical problems and before undertaking any major dietary changes. This information is not meant to be substituted for medical advice.

How Milk Thistle Works

Milk Thistle seeds contain substances collectively known as silymarin. The main active constituent is silybin, which improves the function of the liver and kidneys and prevents and repairs damage.

Silymarin inhibits the factors responsible for liver damage and stimulates the growth of new liver cells to replace injured ones. Toxins that attack and remain within the liver produce or act as free radicals - highly reactive molecules that damage other molecules, including those in cells. Silymarin prevents free-radical damage by acting as an antioxidant, one that is even more powerful than vitamin E.

Silymarin has been shown to increase the glutathione content of the liver. Glutathione takes up and gives off hydrogen, and is fundamentally important in cellular respiration. The effect of silymarin on the system is to pump out poisons, therefore, by increasing the glutathione content of the liver, it gives it an increased capacity for the process of detoxification.

The liver can also be damaged by the action of leukotrienes. Leukotrienes are compounds produced by the transfer of an oxygen molecule to polyunsaturated fatty acids, a reaction caused by the enzyme lipoxygenase. Silymarin is a potent inhibitor against this enzyme and fights against leukotriene formation. Silymarin's most powerful component is silybin.
Silymarin may also be an important factor in the treatment of psoriasis, because of the cause of this condition is over-production of leukotrienes. Psoriasis has also been shown to be linked to a high level of circulating endotoxins such as those found in gut bacteria. If the level of endotoxins or toxins increases until the liver is overwhelmed, or if the liver's ability to filter and detoxify is inhibited, then the existing psoriasis becomes worse.
Silymarin has the ability to stimulate protein synthesis, an action that results in an increase in the production of new liver cells to replace old ones, but which does not increase malignant cells, thus exerting both protective and restorative influences.

Another protective role played by silymarin involves the way in which toxins are cycled continuously between the gastrointestinal tract and the liver, which cannot avoid causing some liver damage. Silymarin interrupts that cycle. More than 90% of the silymarin that is absorbed through the intestines ends up in the liver. From there it is passed into the intestines, along with bile and then as much as 50% is reabsorbed through the intestines. Hardly any silymarin reaches the bloodstream and only 5-7% is eliminated in urine. It is repeatedly recycled through the intestines and liver, moving from blood plasma to bile and concentrating its beneficial effects in the liver cells. These cells are protected from damage by circulating toxins and so can act as centres for the generation of new cells. Eventually, complete restoration of the liver is possible. Silymarin has proved to be particularly effective in protecting against liver damage that is caused by alcohol and chemical toxins.

Milk Thistle's stimulating, decongestive action is also useful in the treatment of problems of the kidneys, lungs, heart, bladder and uterus. It also ensures a sense of well-being and good health.

Main Effects

  • Reverses alcohol damage.
  • Speeds recovery in viral and alcohol-induced hepatitis.
  • Slows progression of cirrhosis and extends life expectancy.
  • Protects against side-effects of some pharmaceutical drugs.
  • Improves liver function in cases of chemical poisoning.
  • Helps reverse liver damage.
  • Improves circulation.
  • Promotes bowel movement via an increase in blood flow.
  • Improves kidney function and urination.
  • Clears the skin of rashes and some skin diseases.
  • Assists in countering the pain and discomfort of menstrual and premenstrual problems.
  • Milk Thistle extract is absorbed into the blood very quickly and reaches its full potential one hour after it has been taken.
  • Depending upon the type and severity of a patients disease, a course of treatment that includes Milk Thistle may start to show significant results in as little as seven days, but in severe cases of cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis, full remission may take two years.
  • In cases of general debility and biliousness, an improvement will be felt after a week to ten days. If the skin has a jaundiced hue, this will eventually disappear.

Milk Thistle is also considered to be a "natural interferon booster".

Camel Milk Has Benefits

Most people may have not been too familiar with camel milk. But it turns out this milk has many benefits for human body and have a better nutrient content that is known as a ‘superfood‘.

Camel milk has been widely consumed in almost all Arab countries, this milk tastes slightly saltier than other milk and is often produced as cheese.

UN organizations dealing with food (Food and Agriculture Organisation / FAO) said that camel milk is rich in vitamin B note, C and iron content 10 times faster than cow’s milk.

In addition to mineral and vitamin contents are high, research has shown that antibodies contained in the alleged camel milk could help fight cancer, HIV, AIDS, Alzheimer’s and hepatitis C.

Camel milk could be a useful addition to food because it contains calcium and vitamin B and has a saturated fat content less than cow’s milk,” said a spokesman from the British Nutrition Foundation, as quoted by BBC News, Tuesday (31/05/2011).

Another advantage of camel milk is it does not contain two powerful allergens that have been found in cow’s milk, and has a component of the immune system that may provide benefits to children who are allergic to milk and other foods.

Potential components of the immune system in camel milk is expected to help fight some diseases. The researchers speculate that the small size of immunoglobulin or antibodies found in camel milk is easier to allow it to target the disease-causing foreign substances (antigens) that damage a person’s immune system.

Dr. Reuven Yagil, an expert on the physiology of Israel who conducted the study for 5 years said that camel milk can be overcome autoimmune disorders that suppress the immune system of a person.

But it still needed further research, because scientific evidence that there has not been enough to prove the effectiveness of camel milk in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Dandelion (lion's tale) Taraxacum officinale

Botanical Classification

Family

Asteraceae

Genus and specie

Taraxacum officinale

Other names

Taraxacum, foreign dandelion, wild endive, piss-a-bed, lion's tale or tooth as well as pu gong ying.

Description of the herb dandelion

Dandelion herb is really just a weed, an annoyance to many gardeners. Its leaves were seen as being shaped like lion’s teeth by the French, who called it dente de lion which has been rendered dandelion in the English language.

Dandelion is a perennial with a thick tap root. The saw-toothed leaves form a rosette at the base of the plant. Solitary, bright yellow flowers appear from spring to autumn. Ribbed fruits bearing tufts of fine, white hairs follow flowers. Dandelion is well known as a garden weed.

Parts used

The whole plant is used in herbal preparations - the leaves, roots and flowers.

Properties

Dandelion is a bitter-sweet, cooling herb that has diuretic, laxative effects. It also stimulates liver function, improves digestion and reduces swelling and inflammation.

It contains sesquiterpene lactones (tetrahydroridentin B and taraxacolide B-D-glucoside), phenolic acid derivative (taraxacoside), triterpenoids (taraxasterol and its derivatives), potassium and inulin.

Therapeutic uses

  • Internal use
    • Dandelion is used internally for gall bladder and urinary disorders, jaundice, cirrhosis of the liver, dyspepsia and constipation, edema associated with high blood pressure and heart weakness.
    • The bitter substance in the herb also stimulates digestion.
    • In Chinese medicine it is used for lung and breast tumors, abscesses as well as hepatitis.
    • The high content of inulin makes it useful for people with diabetes.

Dandelion has been used by Chinese & Indian herbalists for thousands of years. They understood the benefits of dandelion herb for boils, bronchitis, colds, hepatitis, obesity, pneumonia, ulcers & more.

Animal Research on Hepatitis and Dandelion Leaves

The May 2010 issue of "Food and Chemical Toxicology" reports on a study in which researchers gave hepatitis to Sprague-Dawley rats, which developed elevated liver enzymes and inflammation of the liver cells. When treated with water extracts from dandelion leaves -- in other words, dandelion leaf tea -- however, enzyme levels and liver lesions decreased significantly, apparently because this extract reduced inflammatory response and oxidative stress. An article in the September 2010 issue of "Phytotherapy Research" reinforced this finding. In this study, rats with hepatitis who were given water extracts of dandelion leaves showed reduced liver damage compared to controls.

Human Research on Dandelion-containing Herbal Preparations

A Chinese researcher, Z. Chen, studied the effects of a traditional herbal preparation containing one species of dandelion, Taraxacum mongolicum, on patients with chronic hepatitis B. The results of this randomized, double-blind study, which was published in the February 1990 issue of "Chinese Journal of Modern Developments in Traditional Medicine," showed that liver enzymes were significantly more likely to return to normal levels in patients given the compound containing dandelion. Of the 51 people receiving the treatment, eight were effectively cured, while in the control group, only one person was cured.

PLANT CHEMICALS

Sarsaparilla contains the plant steroids sarsasapogenin, smilagenin, sitosterol, stigmasterol, and pollinastanol; and the saponins sarsasaponin, smilasaponin, sarsaparilloside, and sitosterol glucoside, among others. The majority of sarsaparilla's pharmacological properties and actions have been attributed to these steroids and saponins. The saponins have been reported to facilitate the body's absorption of other drugs and phytochemicals, which accounts for its history of use in herbal formulas as an agent for bioavailability and to enhancement the power and effect of other herbs.

Saponins and plant steroids found in many species of plants (including sarsaparilla) can be synthesized into human steroids such as estrogen and testosterone. This synthesis has never been documented to occur in the human body - only in the laboratory. Yet plant steroids and their actions in the human body have been a subject of much interest, sketchy research and, unfortunately, disinformation - mainly for marketing purposes. Sarsaparilla has been marketed (fraudulently) to contain testosterone and/or other anabolic steroids. While it is a rich source of natural plant steroids and saponins, it never has been proven to have any anabolic effects, nor has testosterone been found in sarsaparilla or any other plant source thus far.

Flavonoids in sarsaparilla have been documented to have immune modulation and liver protective activities. A U.S. patent was awarded in 2003 describing these flavonoids to be effective in treating autoimmune diseases and inflammatory reactions through their immunomodulating effects. Sarsasapogenin and smilagenin were subjects of a 2001 U.S. patent which reported that these Smilax steroids had the ability to treat senile dementia, cognitive dysfunction, and Alzheimer's disease. In the patent's animal studies references, smilagenin reversed the decline of brain receptors in aged mice and restored the receptor levels to those observed in young animals, reversed the decline in cognitive function, and enhanced memory and learning. These studies, however, have not been published in any peer-reviewed journals - only in the context of the patent, thus far.

Sarsaparilla's main plant chemicals include: acetyl-parigenin, astilbin, beta-sitosterol, caffeoyl-shikimic acids, dihydroquercetin, diosgenin, engeletin, essential oils, epsilon-sitosterol, eucryphin, eurryphin, ferulic acid, glucopyranosides, isoastilbin, isoengetitin, kaempferol, parigenin, parillin, pollinastanol, resveratrol, rhamnose, saponin, sarasaponin, sarsaparilloside, sarsaponin, sarsasapogenin, shikimic acid, sitosterol-d-glucoside, smilagenin, smilasaponin, smilax saponins A-C, smiglaside A-E, smitilbin, stigmasterol, taxifolin, and titogenin.

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES AND CLINICAL RESEARCH

Clinical research has validated the traditional use of sarsaparilla for skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, and leprosy. In 1942, it was reported in the New England Journal of Medicine to improve the condition of psoriasis dramatically. There the results of a clinical study with 92 patients was detailed which reported that it improved psoriasis lesions in 62% of cases and completely cleared lesions in 18% of cases. One of the possible mechanisms of action in psoriasis is sarsaparilla's blood cleansing properties. Individuals with psoriasis have been found to have high levels of endotoxins circulating in the bloodstream (endotoxins are cell wall fragments of normal gut bacteria). Sarsaponin, one of sarsaparilla's main steriods, was found to bind to these endotoxins and remove them, thus improving psoriasis.

This endotoxin-binding action is probably why the root has been used for centuries as a "blood purifier." Other health conditions associated with high endotoxin levels include eczema, arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. Sarsaparilla's effective use in the treatment of leprosy has been documented in a 1959 human trial. The effectiveness of sarsaparilla in the treatment of adolescent acne caused by excessive androgens has received some experimental support as well.

A 2001 U.S. patent was filed on sarsaparilla (Smilax china) for psoriasis and respiratory diseases. This patent cited clinical observations and studies with children and human adults with Psoriasis vulgaris, pustular psoriasis, erythroderma psoriaticum lesions, and associated itching-reporting marked clinical improvements with dosages of 3-6 g daily. It also reported that, upon discontinuation of sarsaparilla after only two months of treatment, there was further gradual remission of lesions and no side effects. In addition, this patent indicated sarsaparilla was shown to be a preventative and therapeutic agent for respiratory and allergic diseases such as acute bronchitis, bronchial asthma, asthmatic bronchitis, and chronic bronchitis. Again, these studies and observations reported in the patent have yet to be published in any peer-reviewed journals.

Sarsaparilla has long been used in the treatment of syphilis. Clinical observations in China demonstrated that sarsaparilla was effective (according to blood tests) in about 90% of acute and 50% of chronic cases. In the 1950s the antibiotic properties of sarsaparilla were documented; other studies documented its antifungal and antimycobacterial activities. Its anti-inflammatory activity has been demonstrated in several in vitro and in vivo studies, using different laboratory-induced models of arthritis and inflammation. One of these studies attributes the beneficial effect for arthritis to sarsaparilla's immune modulatory action. Sarsaparilla also has demonstrated liver protective effects in rats, with researchers concluding that it is able to prevent immune-mediated liver injury. Improvement of appetite and digestion has been noted with sarsaparilla, as well as its diuretic actions in humans. The root has been reported to have stimulatory activity on the kidneys in humans and, in chronic nephritis, it was shown to increase the urinary excretion of uric acid.
