Scientific excerpts on the role of chromium in diabetes-2 and obesity

Chromium is useful for glucose metabolism and related to type 2 diabetes, development of waist fatline and increased incidence of ‘metabolic syndrome'. Chromium was first identified as a component of the "glucose-tolerance factor" which is required for maintenance of normal blood glucose. As part of this factor, chromium acts synergistically with insulin to facilitate cellular uptake of blood glucose. Chromium may also have a role in other insulin-dependent activities such as protein and lipid metabolism.

Research does not support claims that chromium piccolinate supplements facilitate weight loss, build muscles or decrease body fat. However, chromium supplementation has been found to improve glucose tolerance in elderly adults who have low blood chromium levels. Tissue chromium depletion has been observed with age and may be responsible for abnormalities in glucose metabolism that often develop with age.

Chromium deficiency is characterized by insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and lipid abnormalities. Clinically, this deficiency has only be Dietary sources of chromium include whole grains, potatoes, oysters, liver, seafood, cheese, chicken and meat. Brewer's yeast is a rich source of organic chromium complexes. Since many foods have not been analyzed for chromium, the listing of foods below does not include all possible sources. en reported with long-term administration of parenteral nutrition when chromium is not added to these solutions.

Pain and Ache Modulators

Pain and ache regimen-pain like smell/sight/hearing is one of the prime sensation that have both positive and negative utility in our life, many useful inventions of industrial era have inception in common psychodynamics of pain-in literature suffering, agony is most of the time have one or in other way related to human interpretation of pain. We have came up with some major findings in homoeopathy therapeutics and ‘pranic healing’ to lay firm foundation for conceptual pain and ache clinics. Recent research on role of sensory receptors and pain modulation have revealed strong evidences of ‘different individual response to pain and suffering’, this has hinted major breakthrough to understand the dynamics of pain and individual pattern of tolerance to pain, from time immemorial sages from Our pain clinic is committed to evolve alternative medical therapies to form safe Fareast have developed various spiritual modes to train and modulate their responses to pain and related sensations, with more insight into higher pain-pleasure cycles it will be not far for us to attain saintly control on human sufferings.

Pain is one of biggest 'reasonde'tre' for patient to seek medical help, all diseases and degeneration has one or other element of pain as common features in their evolution. Pain killers both NSAIDS and steroids based is key ingredient of medical prescriptions and oft regarded as wonder drugs, quest to evolve one with no significant side effects remains enigma for most of research labs and scientists. Our feature clinical trials and observation set-up will take clues from various controlled research trials and conclusions drawn on many herbal agents, taking analogy the usefulness of some of the homoeopathic tinctures be analyzed, the list of primary and secondary active principles be probed to evolve categories of quick acting remedies, secondary active actions of the botanical agent shall be expropriated to form base of ‘feature treatment module for pain, aches, raised cholesterol, diabetes, depression, insomnia, stress disorders, various neuralgia and chrnic inflammatory states’ We have drawn out clearcut line to envisage ‘painreducing and analgesic' homoeopathic principles by scientifically evaluating homoeopathic action of any one or combination of agents viz chamomile, black cohosh (actearacemosa), arnica Montana, valeriana, passion flower, hypericum perforatum, piper methysticum, capsicum and rubia cordifolia(Indian madder).

Immune Boosters

Immune booster homoeopathic medicines (pilot study on primary and secondary remedial actions)

In the 1950s, the German pharmaceutical company Madaus began studying Echinacea can be used to improve the immune system in numerous ways. These include increasing activity of three of the immune system's workhorses—T-cells, interferon and natural killer cells. Echinacea even makes cells stronger and more resistant to invasion.

Preliminary result Preliminary scientific evidence shows that some of the herbs in this remedy, including chamomile, baptisia, marshmallow, have immune-enhancing properties similar to those of Yellow dock and Burdock, for example, has been used around the world to inhibit and slow the growth of cancerous tumors. It also contains a compound shown to inhibit tumor growth. Other herbs or herbal compounds that have pronounced effects on the immune system include shiitake mushrooms and gamma linoleic acid (GLA).
Irritative, spastic, repetitive and 'difficult to stop' Cough respond well with passiflora or passion flower. Its spasmolytic nature make it useful in bronchial constriction and dyspnea when the aggravating factor had been the mental anxiety.

Homoeopathy in long run have ‘reputation’ of facilitating immune tolerance, immune mounting and less propensity of full bloom respiratory tract infections(viz allergic rhinitis, cold and coryza, sinusitis, sore throat, painful throat, recurrent tonsillitis, recurrent bronchitis and wheezing), our doctor and associated workers shall work out 'effective homoeopathic remedies for’ respiratory and asthma clinic, we have short listed some common botanical herbs from which homoeopathic medicines are derived based upon research studies and clinical trials evolved far and wide on the herbal efficacy .

Valerian is a traditional herbal sleep remedy that has been studied with a variety of methodologic designs using multiple dosages and preparations. Research has focused on subjective evaluations of sleep patterns, particularly sleep latency, and study populations have primarily consisted of self-described poor sleepers. Valerian improves subjective experiences of sleep when taken nightly over one- to two-week periods, and it appears to be a safe sedative/hypnotic choice in patients with mild to moderate insomnia. The evidence for single-dose effect is contradictory. Valerian is also used in patients with mild anxiety, but the data supporting this indication are limited. Although the adverse effect profile and tolerability of this herb are excellent, long-term safety studies are lacking Passiflora in carnata or Passionflower is beneficial and useful in both traditional sense and those based on current clinical practice and research.
