active ingredient of silymarin
extract derived from herb milk thistle a member of compositae or daisy family
containing mixture of flavonolignans consisting of among others of silibinin, isosilibinin, silicristin and silidianin
The most abundant and potent costituents in silymarin are two diastereoisomeric compounds (silybin A and silybin B) known as silybin (also called silibinin)
Silymarin has been shown to be effective in the treatment of liver diseases of various kinds, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty infiltration of the liver (alcoholic- and non-alcoholic fatty liver), and inflammation of the bile ducts

prevent toxic liver damage
speed up liver regeneration

A recent studies in vitro by Zi and Agarwal (1999) found that silibinin was able to arrest cell growth in prostate cancer lines, probably by inhibiting various kinase enzymes. Silibinin helped arrest cell growth in the early phase of the cell cycle, known as G1. The researchers found a 20% increase in G1 cell population when the culture was treated with silibinin.they fount interestingly that the growth arrrest occured by cell differentiation.

its efffect on heart

in studies conducted by Schriewer and Rauen 1977they found that it inhibits the biosynthesis of cholesterol invitro they also abserved elimination of lipoproteins in presence of it.Studies have also shown that silymarin and silibinin inhibit the development of diet-related excess cholesterol levels in rats. Supplementing the diet with silymarin or silibinin resulted in an increase in HDL levels and a decrease in liver cholesterol content.

antioxident
Silibinin has been found to protect red blood vessels and stabilize their membranes through inhibition of lipid peroxidation. In addition, silibinin increases the activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase in human red blood cells (Altorjay 1992)

Supernutrient (SAMe)

SAMe ( a-adenosylmethionine) or sam or adomet

liver supernutrient

reverses the destructive effect of most of the chemicals and alcohols.

SAM was first discovered in Italy by G. L. Cantoni in 1952. naturally occurring compound that is found in almost every tissue and fluid in the body.

SAMe plays a role in the immune system, maintains cell membranes, and helps produce and break down brain chemicals, such as serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine. It works with vitamin B12 and folate (vitamin B6). Being deficient in either vitamin B12 or folate may reduce levels of SAMe in your body.

mainly involves in 2 functions
1. methylation
2.trans-sulfuration

helps in
Maintaining mitochondrial function
 Prevents DNA mutations(cancer treatment)
 Restores cellular membrane fluidity so that cell receptors become better able to bind hormones and other factors

one result of trans-sulfuration is transformation in to glutathione,most vital substance in the liver

gluthione is an natural antioxidant for liver



research studies states that taking SAMe externally helps in reducung the depression with less side effects when compared to other drugs available .A number clinical trials show that SAMe may reduce pain and inflammation in the joints, and researchers think it may also promote cartilage repair, although they are not clear about how or why this works. In several short term studies (ranging 4 - 12 weeks), SAMe supplements were as effective as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen in adults with knee, hip, or spine osteoarthritis. SAMe was as effectives as these medications in lessening morning stiffness, decreasing pain, reducing swelling, improving range of motion, and increasing walking pace


liver contains third highest amount of SAMe in the body (after adrenal and penal glands)
plays an important role in the regeneration.

People with liver disease often cannot synthesize SAMe in their bodies, and some preliminary studies suggest that taking SAMe may help treat chronic liver disease caused by medications or alcoholism. A study  with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (liver failure) found that SAMe treatment for 2 years improved survival rates and delayed the need for liver transplants better than placebo. Other studies show that SAMe may help normalize levels of liver enzymes in people with liver disease. Studies in mice show that SAMe protects against and can also reverse liver damage.

Chlorella

Chorella an single celled fresh water algae is on of the gods gift to us it boosts the physiological functions of our body with its small size 2-8 microns in size.
it is rich in proteins,vitamins,minerals,
they are disease preventing and even reversing foods from nature that can actually help conquer cancer, nerve damage, diabetes, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, clinical depression, and much more.

"You probably haven't heard that before, and here's why: no company selling chlorella or spirulina is allowed to tell you the truth about it. That's because the FDA would consider such statements to be "medical claims." So you never hear the real story on how these amazing superfoods can actually reverse serious diseases with no side effects and often without surgery, drugs, or other barbaric treatments like chemotherapy."line taken from  the book Superfoods For Optimum Health: Chlorella and Spirulina
by Mike Adams, the Consumer Wellness Research Center


Most of the chlorella that is available in the U.S. is grown in Japan or Taiwan. It is processed and made into tablets and liquid extracts. These extracts contain "chlorella growth factor," which is described as a water-soluble extract of chlorella containing chemicals including amino acids, peptides, proteins, vitamins, sugars, and nucleic acids.

A phytochemical found in chlorella can actually rebuild nerve damage in the brain and nervous system? That's why chlorella is being used in the recovery of patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
The nutritional value of Chlorella set it apart from all other foods. It contains 60% protein, 19 amino acids including all the essential ones plus at least 12 important vitamins and 11 minerals. The Chlorophyll content of Chlorella is 2%-3%, which is higher than any other known plant source. Chlorella also contains 76ppm (parts per million) of Germanium. Nucleic acids DNA and RNA occur naturally at some of the highest levels in Chlorella. The Chlorella Growth Factor or C.G.F., as it has been called, is the most valuable substance contained in Chlorella. Though not entirely understood, it accelerates the growth of organisms. Chlorella is made of pure, whole, natural chlorella cells. The outer cell is cracked by a unique, instantaneous, chilled spray drying method. This ensures maximum digestibility and assimilation of all the vital nutrients. Chlorella the Jewel of the Orient.


Reports from Japanese research institute studies that followed nuclear catastrophe resulting from atomic bombs dropped in Hiroshima and and Nagasaki in 1945.
and in report submitted to general meeting of pharmaceutical society of japan reported that chlorella increased the elimination of cadmium by three folds in feaces and 7 folds in urine.
other researches shows that chlorella helps in detoxifying uranium and lead
it also detoxifies mercury amalgam


over all it can be used to treat heavy metal poisoning also



instead of taking the vitamin tablets one can prefer these tablets as the natural vitamin source
these tablets are available in the medical shops with brand name bovia CHLORELLA 500mg 100 Tablets
Brand: BIOVEA®

HICCUPS

Hiccups it is a type of reflex action in our body(involuntary mechanism we don't have any control over it.
Medical term for hiccups is SINGULTUS. mainly caused due to irritation of phrenic nerve(this is the nerve supplies the diaphragm muscular divider between chest and abdomen. generally diaphragm is assisted in breathing by raising and falling.if that nerve is irritated leads to temporary loss of coordination of movement of diaphragm as a result occurs a situation called hiccups.
\fortunately most of the time hiccups go away after some time.or by using simple remedies like holding our breath,or drinking a glass of water. prescription is necessary on if they persist for long time or if occurs regularly.
Hiccups are only found in mammals, and are most common in infants, becoming rarer as animals age. This may suggest that they evolved in order to allow air trapped in the stomach of suckling infants to escape, allowing more milk to be ingested.

The following are the few tips to avoid them
Tip 1:
1 tsp of sugar sucked on will relieve hiccups.


Tip 2:

1/2 tsp mustard seeds mixed with 1/2 tsp pure ghee and swallowed will stop hiccups.

Tip 3:

Pound 5-6 green cardamom. Boil in 2 cups of water. When it boils down to 1 cup remove, sieve and drink while warm.

Actually there are still more tips for controlling them and if we try we can find more and more remedies to control for example in 2010 an 13 year old American  girl got a good coverage in media as she announced the ways to control the hiccups by swallowing saltwater, making herself gag, eating a spoonful of sugar, sipping pickle juice and drinking a glass of water upside-down.so friends let me know if any of you found new ways to control it use comment box for it.
