Background: Osteoarthritis is a common disease among middle aged and elderly people and paracetamol and NSAIDs, which can both cause side effects, are often used to manage symptoms like pain. This study aimed to test if Japanese White Turmeric (JWT), a new variant of turmeric, containing labdane terpenoid and hardly any curcumin, would lessen symptoms from osteoarthritis and reduce the consumption of rescue medication, without causing side effects. Methods: Volunteers (n=120) with osteoarthritis of the knee and/or hip were randomly allocated to either daily treatment with JWT (12.8 mg) or placebo for 6 months. Primary effect variables, pain and physical function and secondary effect variables, stiffness and global severity of the disease (PGAD) were scored on WOMAC questionnaires initially and after 1, 2, 3 and 6 months of treatment. Rescue medication taken by participants were self-registered in a diary. Results: JWT treatment showed a statistically significant reduction in WOMAC pain after 1, 2 and 3 months (p<0.0003). After 6 months this decline was still statistically significant and superior to placebo (p<0.041). Effect size was 4.961±2.366 (n=40) for treatment group vs (n=27) for placebo), 95% confidence interval was 9.686 to -0.2359, p< 0.039. An identical pattern was observed when testing physical function, joint stiffness and PGAD. The consumption of paracetamol was significantly lowered after 3 and 6 months of active treatment (p<0.014 and p<0.050) respectively vs placebo. A similar pattern was observed for NSAIDs. No serious side effects were reported and minor side effects were equally represented in both groups. Conclusion: Our data suggests that the herbal remedy, Japanese White Turmeric significantly alleviates symptoms of osteoarthritis, including pain and lower the consumption of rescue medication.

The word meditation is derived from a Latin word ‘madri’ which means “to heal”. Meditation can certainly be considered as a great healing process - spiritual, mental, and emotional - with proven benefits to physical well-being. In the current communication, an attempt has been made to explain some of these benefits and provide science based evidence to explain them. Meditation develops our ability to maintain inner peace at all times in our actions and thereby achieve the best physical and mental health. With psychosomatic ailments, meditation provides the vital element that modern therapies lack. During Yogic breathing, some of the oxygen generates •OH free radicals according to the Haber Weiss process, which immediately react with glucose molecules to oxidize them. Some of these oxidation products are very useful, such as gluconic acid, which removes some undesirable metals from the body. Additionally, glucuronic acid is another product, and it is part of the natural detoxification process found in the body. It removes harmful toxins and is used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Another product, D-glucarate, has been shown to decrease lung, skin, liver, breast, and colon cancers by 60%. The product Calcium-D-glucarate lowers cholesterol by 12%, LDL by 28%, and triglycerides by 43%. Lastly, D-glucono 1,4 lactone, with further reactions with •OH, is converted to D-glucaro 1,4 lactone and is a powerful liver detoxifier. Meditation boosts intelligence, IQ score, and increases the gray matter of the brain. The relaxation response decreases breathing rate and oxygen consumption by 20%. It lowers heart rate and brings blood pressure to normal levels. During meditation alpha waves of the brain are generated. This brings relaxation and serenity of mind, helping people to better cope with stress. According to the British Heart Foundation, 15 minutes of meditation a day can reduce the risk of death, heart attack and stroke by 48%. According to Dr. Dean Ornish, meditation can help in reversing heart disease. Meditation has the power to change our negativity of mind and reshape our thoughts into a more positive direction to improve our mental well-being.

Smoking is a major public health concern, given that the global number of smokers continues to rise, causing almost 8 million deaths worldwide in 2019, with one in five deaths being male. Therapeutic interventions that consider integrative health approaches have shown promising results in helping people to stop smoking, such as aromatherapy. Considering the potential of aromatherapy in interventions aimed at contributing to smoking cessation, which have already been described in the literature, the aim of this study was to evaluate a natural compound based on essential oils as a complementary therapeutic approach to help stop smoking. The design of this study is characterized as observational and was developed using a qualitative-quantitative approach with the participation of 15 individuals who had made the decision to quit smoking. This pilot study was coordinated by the Integrative and Complementary Practices outpatient clinic at the São Paulo Municipal Public Servant Hospital (MPSH-SP), a large, tertiary-level public care hospital in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. In summary, it was observed that anxiety, discouragement and stress were the symptoms most reported by the participants and were observed in 90% and 60% of those interviewed, respectively. Diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, respiratory diseases and other conditions were also present among the participants. Analysis of the Fagerström test showed that there was a reduction in the score classifying the degree of nicotine dependence, indicating a possible improvement after using the natural product under study. Despite the small sample size, this study points to promising evidence regarding the use of aromatherapy as a complementary approach to help stop smoking.

Bran is the husk of cereals, crushed by grinding. It is a food that helps improving different symptoms, mainly for the digestive system. Moringa oleifera Lam. It is a plant with a high nutritional value, so the use of Moringa seed husk was evaluated for human consumption and for strengthening foods by producing bran. To characterize the Moringa seed husk for human consumption as bran and emphasize its benefits to health. The bran was produced by grinding Moringa oleifera Lam. seed husks with a sieve of 2.0mm. The proximal composition was made by infrared near spectrocospy. The determination of minerals and metals was done by the method PT-AQ-23 and moisture by the gravimetric method. The bran from Moringa seed husks, allowed to have a product with soft powder characteristics and a slightly sandy feel, of beige color with brown tips, discreetly bitter and fresh wood odor. From the nutritional point of view, it contributed the following compounds: fiber protein, starch and fat; everything comparable or superior to the contents in other bran of wheat, rice, oat and barley, among others. The bran from Moringa seed husk is a highly beneficial product for digestive health due to the quantity of fiber it provides, the high nutritional value of its other properties.

I propose the examination of imprinting resulting from sexual abuse as a potential factor that may influence various outcomes, including homosexuality, stuttering, and autism in both men and women. It is suggested that imprinting originally triggered by sexual abuse might contribute to the development of these conditions. One possible sequence, among others, could involve the following: Sexual abuse imprinting (leading to imprinting of homosexuality) may be associated with imprinting of stuttering and autism in both men and women. These conditions, observed with an average ratio of four men to one woman, are known to be challenging to modify. These collective observations give rise to the imprinting syndrome of sexual abuse. The purpose of the first part of this update opinion article is to expand both the references and the information that supports it by including Tourette's syndrome as another possible consequence of child sexual abuse. For more information on the background and procedures used, it is suggested to read reference 22. Through bioenergemal communication, we establish interaction with human bioenergemes (BEGs) that arrive at the bioenergemal (BEL) universe after people biocollapse (die). This BEL information does not intend to ratify or rectify the official version of these facts; it only presents the bioinformation that some BEGs shared with us.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a bleeding disorder characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia. The course is more chronic in adults associated with higher mortality in older patients. In extreme cases of ITP, serious complications such as bleeding into the lungs, brain, or other vital organs can occur. Clinical manifestations include purpura, petechiae and ecchymosis. Majority of ITP patients are not getting reliable and durable remissions with modern medicine. The present case report deals with an elderly patient having chronic ITP with multiple comorbidities (obesity, schizophrenia, UTI and T2DM) approached for Ayurvedic treatment. Patient came with ecchymotic patches on both upper extremities with extremely low platelet counts (9700/mcL) was diagnosed as Tiryaggata Raktapitta and Ayurvedic treatment has been provided. Ayurvedic formulations (Putapakwa Vishama Jwarantaka Loha, Raktastambhaka Vati, Samshamani Vati etc) have improved the platelet counts (from the lowest count of 9700/mcL to highest count of 50000/mcL), hematological indices and quality of life in present case. Ecchymotic patches were completely disappeared without any further recurrences. The present case of ITP (Raktapitta) is a good example for Nidaanaarthakara Roga as it has manifested due to the consequences of malarial fever (Vishama Jwara). Ayurvedic treatment seems to be promising in the management of chronic ITP and generates hope for those patients who are having extreme thrombocytopenia, multiple comorbidities, reluctant (or unfit) for corticosteroids and invasive diagnostic procedures like bone marrow biopsy, and not satisfied with the available therapy from other systems of medicine. Further clinical trials with large sample size are required to substantiate the present case study findings.

The present case report deals with an elderly patient having chronic ITP with multiple comorbidities (obesity, schizophrenia, UTI and T2DM) approached for Ayurvedic treatment. Patient came with ecchymotic patches on both upper extremities with extremely low platelet counts (9700/mcL) was diagnosed as Tiryaggata Raktapitta and Ayurvedic treatment has been provided. Ayurvedic formulations (Putapakwa Vishama Jwarantaka Loha, Raktastambhaka Vati, Samshamani Vati etc) have improved the platelet counts (from the lowest count of 9700/mcL to highest count of 50000/mcL), hematological indices and quality of life in present case. Ecchymotic patches were completely disappeared without any further recurrences. The present case of ITP (Raktapitta) is a good example for Nidaanaarthakara Roga as it has manifested due to the consequences of malarial fever (Vishama Jwara). Ayurvedic treatment seems to be promising in the management of chronic ITP and generates hope for those patients who are having extreme thrombocytopenia, multiple comorbidities, reluctant (or unfit) for corticosteroids and invasive diagnostic procedures like bone marrow biopsy, and not satisfied with the available therapy from other systems of medicine. Further clinical trials with large sample size are required to substantiate the present case study findings.","PeriodicalId":117240,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Complementary & Alternative Medicine","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133951976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
