Study examines which herbs can best counteract king cobra venom
In 2012, the Drug Discoveries & Therapeutics journal published a study evaluating the efficacy of herbs for treating snake bites. With all the breaking news about snake venom and the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19), the study’s findings are highly relevant at the current time. Researchers looked at Curcuma antinaia and Curcuma contravenenum, two forms of curcumin, Andrographis paniculata (green chiretta), and Tanacetum parthenium (feverfew), which they tested and … Continue reading Study examines which herbs can best counteract king cobra venom
Compound in broccoli may help repair brain damage
Scientists long believed that brain regeneration was not possible, but there’s growing evidence that a compound in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables may be able to carry out this remarkable feat. In the 1960s, scientists first started to report evidence of brain regeneration in the hippocampus of adult guinea pigs and rats and the cortex … Continue reading Compound in broccoli may help repair brain damage
Could a molecule found in broccoli help the brain REPAIR spike protein damage?
It turns out that, contrary to popular belief, damaged brain tissue can be regenerated naturally, possibly even after getting ravaged to death by Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccine” spike proteins. A key compound in broccoli, new research has found, has the potential to directly stimulate the repair and renewal of damaged nerve tissue in the brain, which is great … Continue reading Could a molecule found in broccoli help the brain REPAIR spike protein damage?
Study: Cannabis compounds block covid from entering cells
Researchers from Oregon State University‘s Global Hemp Innovation Center have discovered that Cannabis sativais loaded with healing compounds that ward off the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). Two key compounds in particular, cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), were found to block covid spike proteins from entering cells and causing infection. (Related: THC is also beneficial for health.) Study lead Richard van … Continue reading Study: Cannabis compounds block covid from entering cells
Quercetin: A flavonoid that fights COVID like hydroxychloroquine
Quercetin is a flavonoid, a naturally occurring pigment found in many plants and foods like onions, green tea, apples, red leaf lettuce and berries. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce swelling, regulate blood sugar and lower the risk of heart disease. Modern Discontent, an independent publisher of scientific papers on the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), posted a review of … Continue reading Quercetin: A flavonoid that fights COVID like hydroxychloroquine
Chinese skullcap can kill brain cancer cells, thanks to its active component baicalein
Researchers from Qingdao University in China have found that a flavonoid present in Chinese skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) has potential anti-cancer properties. In their report, published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, the researchers noted that baicalein, a flavonoid derived from the roots of Chinese skullcap, can induce cell autophagy and apoptosis — two processes that help clear out damaged cells … Continue reading Chinese skullcap can kill brain cancer cells, thanks to its active component baicalein
Nigella sativa (black seed) prevents covid-induced vascular damage, scientists conclude in published paper indexed by NIH
New research published in the journal Vascular Pharmacology shows that Nigella sativa, also known as black seed or black cumin, binds to ACE2 in the lungs, effectively stopping the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) from inducing inflammation and vascular damage. Researchers out of India investigated the effects of nigellidine, an indazole alkaloid of black seed, using molecular docking for binding to … Continue reading Nigella sativa (black seed) prevents covid-induced vascular damage, scientists conclude in published paper indexed by NIH
