The Promise of Low Dose Naltrexone Therapy
Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist drug developed in the 1970s and approved by the FDA in 1984 for opiate and drug abuse treatment. When used at much lower doses in an off-label protocol referred to as low dose naltrexone (LDN), the drug has been shown to halt disease progression in Crohn's disease and certain cancers, to reduce symptoms in multiple sclerosis and autism, and to improve numerous autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Grounded in clinical and scientific research, this book describes the history of naltrexone, its potential therapeutic uses, its effects on the immune system, its pharmacological properties, and how the drug is administered. It also lists fillers and compounding pharmacies, doctors who prescribe LDN, and patient resources, and includes interviews with LDN patients and researchers.
Advances in Phytonanotechnology for Treatment of Various Diseases
Several plant bioactives or plant-derived therapeutic molecules have been used against life-threatening diseases and their nanoparticle-mediated delivery greatly improves therapeutic efficacy. Advances in Phytonanotechnology for Treatment of Various Diseases aims to describe past and recent advances achieved in the field of phytonanotechnology. The chapters of this book provide thorough knowledge of medicinal plants, plant bioactives, plant extract-based nanoparticle synthesis, delivery of plant bioactives through nanoparticles, and their therapeutic activity against life-threatening diseases. This book focuses on the therapeutic activity of phytocomponents present in plants from diverse fam...
Interaction between the Gut Flora and Immunity in Intestinal Diseases
The composition of gut microbiota plays a critical role in maintaining the host's health, particularly in regulating immune homeostasis and the intestinal immune response. A massive effort has pointed to the importance of these interactions in various intestinal diseases like colorectal cancer (CRC), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Microbiome influences the formation of key components of both the innate and adaptive immune systems, while the immune system is responsible for regulating and maintaining the symbiotic relationship between the host and microbes. Currently, the crosstalk between gut flora and host immunity is not fully revealed in both homeost...
Bioactive Foods and Extracts
Vegetables, fruits, and herbs have been used as cancer preventatives for millennia. But the research community is currently experiencing a surge in information related to the effect of plant products in cancer treatment. Bioactive Foods and Extracts: Cancer Treatment and Prevention organizes these cutting-edge findings. It also addresses the wide availability of botanicals and their extracts and how their use is largely unregulated, particularly in the United States. This well-organized work is a must-have resource for researchers and healthcare professionals who are charged with making decisions regarding the benefits, risks, and value of botanicals in the prevention and treatment of cancers.
Ancient and Traditional Foods, Plants, Herbs and Spices used in Cancer
The use of different foods, herbs, and spices to treat or prevent disease has been recorded for thousands of years. Egyptian papyrus, hieroglyphics and ancient texts from the Middle East have described the cultivation and preparations of herbs and botanicals to “cure the sick.” There are even older records from China and India. Some ancient scripts describe the use of medicinal plants which have never been seen within European cultures. Indeed, all ancient civilizations have pictorial records of different foods, herbs, and spices being used for medical purposes. However, there are fundamental questions pertaining to the scientific evidence for the use of these agents or their extracts in...
Ginseng
Ginseng is the most well-known Chinese medicine as well as one of the most used herbal medicines. It has a wide range of medical and pharmacological uses. This book provides an up-to-date critical view of the botanical description and complexity of ginseng, including its phytochemistry, traditional and biotechnological production systems, traditional usage, current applications, and future directions for the development of ginseng compounds as effective medicinal agents. It is a useful resource for academicians, scientists, students, and industry professionals interested in traditional medicine and ginseng.
Opiate Receptors and Antagonists
The evolution in our understanding of opioid receptors and their subtypes is in- mately linked to the development of new pharmacological treatments for diseases/ disorders as diverse as addiction, self-injurious behavior, pain, cancer, infl- mation, eating disorders, traumatic injury, pruritis, and movement disorders. These potential treatments involve both novel chemical entities and classic opioid antagonists with improved drug delivery systems. The contributions contained in Opioid Receptors and Antagonists: From Bench to Clinic represent the efforts from some of the leading international scientists and clinicians making use of the l- est information emerging from the study of the opioid receptor system. Given the number of researchers currently active in this and related fields of study, it would be inappropriate to suggest that the entire range of activities is fully reflected in this single volume. Instead, a variety of experimental and clinical approaches involving the fields of neuroscience, molecular biology, biochemistry, anatomy, pharmacology, psychology, and psychiatry have been chosen to illustrate rapidly developing experimental and therapeutic areas.
