My parents have made a lot of new friends in Hainan, especially with my mother's square dance at night.
My parents made a lot of new friends in Hainan, especially with my mother's friends who dance on the beach at night, more intimate, so they often exchange health care tips together.
One day last year, a friend of my mother's, and her husband came to our house as a guest, during which her husband asked me a question, saying that he came specifically to consult.
This gentleman was an entrepreneur before, the couple was fifty years old, put down everything, come to Hainan health, but because the year was once across the business world, so the body also has some problems, such as high blood lipids, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, he described himself as taking a lot of drugs, the effect is not good.
As a result, I don't know where I heard the information that taking Luteolin can cure these problems, so I seriously started taking it.
As a result, two months later, actually the indicators are all normal!
Then he stopped using it, and this time he came to ask me specifically what the reason is.
Then he stopped using it.
Because he came prepared, so he took out his own medicine before and after taking a variety of checklist, let me look at his indicators of change, after stopping the drug, he tested a few times, are normal. I took a closer look and the tests were very thorough and the comparison was obvious.
I then asked him what was the status of his bowel movements while taking it. He replied it had been normal. I asked him again, how did he learn about this method? He said it was circulated among the elderly, and then he went to a major hospital in Beijing, had asked a doctor whether it could be eaten, and the Chinese doctor replied: "How do you know this method? This is a very good method that can be taken." So he insisted on taking it. The way to take it was three tablets (0.3 grams) each time, three times a day.
It amazed me that the results of this research in the field of scientific research, the people themselves have been used so widely, is something I did not expect.
So what's going on here? Is it reliable in the end?
Below, I'll write briefly about what researchers have been working on over the years.
Huanglianin, also known as berberine hydrochloride, is the active ingredient extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Huanglian, Huangbai or three needles, which has a significant antibacterial effect. Among them, it has the strongest effect on dysentery bacilli, and is commonly used to treat bacterial gastroenteritis, dysentery and other digestive diseases.
However, with the depth of research, medical personnel found that, in addition to being used for infectious diarrhea, modern pharmacological studies have confirmed that safranin has a significant anti-heart failure, anti-arrhythmia, cholesterol-lowering effect.
Scientific researchers and clinicians have joined hands to systematically study the pharmacological effects, efficacy, and molecular mechanisms of berberine in lowering blood cholesterol and triglycerides at multiple levels, from gene sequences, cellular and animal experiments, as well as clinical treatments. The research results were published in the world's authoritative journal "NatureMedicine", which was highly evaluated, and it was even inferred that the research of berberine hydrochloride may be another project that can win the bidding in the international pharmaceutical industry after artemisinin.
Clinical studies have shown that oral administration of berberine (1 gram per day for three months) can reduce cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides by 20% to 35% in patients with high blood lipids, and this result was further confirmed by animal experiments on the golden hamster model of high blood lipids. The results of this study were published by a number of research units and hospitals in Europe and the United States confirmed that berberine has become a very promising lipid-lowering drugs.
Nature "Editor's Note": China's berberine is an ideal complement to "statin" drugs. Because it is dozens of times cheaper than "statin" drugs, the discovery of the lipid-lowering effect of flavonoids has an invaluable value in the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
At the same time, studies have shown that berberine hydrochloride also has the effect of lowering blood pressure, which is due to the direct effect of berberine on the vascular smooth muscle, with a vasodilatory effect.
It has also been shown that Berberine Hydrochloride also has the effect of lowering blood sugar and urinary glucose. Diabetic patients take it orally 4 times a day, 0.4 grams per item, and after 1-3 months of service, it can reduce blood sugar to normal levels.
Arrhythmias occur in middle-aged and elderly people are mostly related to organic heart disease, such as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, myocarditis and so on. Daily oral xanthin 4 times, 0.4 grams each time, served for 7-12 days, can make palpitations, shortness of breath, chest tightness and other discomforts to reduce or disappear, can relieve or correct arrhythmia. Scientific research results show that Huanglianin can increase coronary blood flow, improve myocardial function, thereby reducing the incidence of arrhythmia caused by coronary artery infarction.
Flavopiridol is also effective in treating frequent atrial and ventricular premature beats, especially in ventricular premature beats.
Flavopiridol, like aspirin, inhibits platelet aggregation and has a broader effect, making it a more effective drug than aspirin. Because of the wide range of yellow ligustrum, side effects, easy to be accepted by the patient, and therefore can be used in the treatment of transient ischemic attack. Specific use: 0.9 grams per day, three times orally, 30 days of continuous treatment for a course of treatment, available 2-3 courses.
The above content, excerpted from a variety of scientific research review, in fact, the research results of the researchers to be more specific and detailed, the content is very much, in this field, we have achieved a lot of results, just our ordinary non-scientific personnel are not clear.
So, then the question is, since this flavonoid is so effective, can we take it?
I'll start by answering a couple of questions:
1 Flavopiridol is not compounded flavopiridol
What we're talking about here is simply flavopiridol, which is the main name on the bottle of the medication, which is berberine hydrochloride. And the compound flavonoid, is inside to add other herbs such as mullein, is a compound, the treatment of diarrhea, and we are talking about is not a drug, to remind you attention.
2 Is this berberine hydrochloride still a Chinese medicine?
This is a very difficult question to answer, it is purified from Huanglian and other traditional Chinese medicines, but the ingredients and Huanglian have a big difference, the Chinese medicine Huanglian will have many kinds of ingredients, and berberine is only one of them, strictly speaking, it is the same as Artemisinin, it is the same from the Chinese medicine inside the purification of the chemical preparation.
3 So can Berberine be applied according to the theory of Chinese medicine as a guide?
This is the most important question that needs to be addressed. If Huanglianxin is treated as a pure chemical agent, it does not need to be used according to the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine, and it seems that all people with three high problems can use it, so is it reasonable to do so?
In fact, the Chinese medicine Huanglian inside the chemical composition is more complex, berberine (accounted for about 7 to 9), Huanglianine, methylxanthine, palm leaf antipersistent alkaloids, African antipersistent alkaloids, and still contain berberone, berberolactone and so on. However, one of the main components is berberine, so, my point of view is that since Huanglian in the traditional Chinese medicine theory, is a bitter and cold medicine, has the effect of clearing heat and diarrhea, then, as the main component of Huanglian berberine, more or less should also have the properties of Huanglian, should draw on the contents of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, I suggest that people whose physical constitution is Yang deficiency should be cautious in using this medicine, which is a safer approach.
4 Does Dr. Luo recommend this medicine since there is scientific research here?
I don't think I would recommend this method for people who are old and weak. Because although the scientific research results are so, but after all, this is not a large-scale application in the clinic, so for the elderly, to remain cautious.
For those who are still in good physical condition, I think it is possible to try it out, except for the Yang deficiency. Because after all, domestic and foreign clinics have done, the effect is certain, just whether it can completely control the three high, I think it still varies from person to person, but the effect must be there. And, in my observation, it's critical to use a sufficient amount, usually 0.9 grams per day, and if it's less than that, the effect is not as good as it should be.
Today's article is not to recommend that we all go to use Huanglianxin, but to introduce you to an idea, which is based on a lot of research, and I have seen patients take the effect of outstanding. However, this method does not belong to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and there is a certain degree of cutting-edge, so I just introduce it today, and I hope that this method can be supported by more validation in the future, and become a new star in the protection of human health.
