DRUG INTERACTIONS BETWEEN HERBS AND SUPPLEMENTS AND YOUR PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE



How do herbs and supplements interact with your prescription diabetes medications? Some interactions are positive. For example, certain medications can deplete your body of essential nutrients; taking supplements can not only keep you healthier but may also reduce drug side effects. Other times, an herb or a supplement might cause a drug to work less well or increase the risk of side effects.


  

ECHINACEA
Echinacea
Echinacea appears to be safe. Even when taken in very high doses, it has not been found to cause any toxic effects. Reported side effects are also uncommon and usually limited to minor gastro-intestinal symptoms, increased urination, and mild allergic reactions. However, severe allergic reactions have occurred occasionally, some of them life threatening.
Germany’s Commission E warns against using echinacea in cases of auto-immune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as tuberculosis or leucocytosis. There are also rumours that echinacea should not be used by people with AIDS. These warnings are theoretical, based on fears that echinacea might actually activate immunity in the wrong way. But there is no evidence that echinacea use has actually harmed anyone with these diseases.
Garlic


GARLIC
Blood-thinning drugs such as Coumadin (warfarin), heparin, aspirin, or Trental (pentoxifylline): Do not use garlic except on medical advice. Ginkgo or high-dose vitamin E: Taking garlic at the same time might conceivably cause a risk of bleeding problems.


GINKO BILOBA
Ginko Biloba
Blood-thinning drugs such as Coumadin (warfarin), heparin, aspirin, or Trental (pentoxifylline): Simultaneous use of ginkgo might cause bleeding problems. Natural substances with blood-thinning properties, such as garlic, phosphatidylserine, or high-dose vitamin E: It is possible that, again, simultaneous use of ginkgo might cause bleeding problems. Antidepressant drugs, especially in the SSRI family: Ginkgo might remedy sexual side effects such as impotence or inability to achieve orgasm. Antipsychotics: Ginkgo might help them work better with fewer side effects.


GREEN TEA
Green Tea
MAO inhibitors: (MAO inhibitors (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) were the first antidepressant drugs invented. While they are quite effective, they can be dangerous if combined with the wrong foods, drugs, or supplements. The substance tyramine, found in some cheeses, beer, fermented soy products, and other foods, is particularly dangerous to combine with these medications. Stimulant drugs such as pseudoephedrine can also cause problems.) The caffeine in green tea could cause serious problems. Coumadin (warfarin): Large doses of green tea could interfere with its effectiveness, because green tea contains vitamin K, which directly counteracts Coumadin’s blood-thinning action.


CHROMIUM
Chromium
Antacids: You may need extra chromium. You should also separate your chromium supplement and your doses of these substances by at least 2 hours, because they may interfere with chromium’s absorption.
Corticosteroids: You may need extra chromium.
Oral diabetes medications or insulin: Seek medical supervision before taking chromium because you may need to reduce your dose of these medications.
Beta-blockers: Chromium supplementation may improve levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol.

The link with arthritis

“We are very excited to have Diane and Christophe join Joslin’s Research Division. The work of the Benoist/Mathis lab is important not only for understanding diabetes, but also for other diseases,” says George King, M.D., Acting Director of Research at Joslin. “They will be taking the lead in the area of autoimmunity in the development of type 1 diabetes and transplant rejection, which are critical areas of development for the control of diabetes.” Drs. Benoist and Mathis receive funding from the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF) for their work on behalf of JDF’s Center for Islet Transplantation at Harvard Medical School.

Coincidentally, their studies of the body’s autoimmune response have shed light on another disease in which the body’s immune system turns against self-tissue — rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis affects 2.1 million Americans, mostly women.
“By chance, one of the more than 100 strains of mice in which we study diabetes developed arthritis and so we started working on it,” Dr. Mathis says.


Earlier this year, the research team and their French colleagues published a paper in the journal Science reporting that they had identified a particular protein that is the target of an autoimmune response in arthritic mice. Joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis is believed to be caused by an immune system attack against tissue in the joints, although prior to their findings, the antigen that causes the response had not yet been identified. Isao Matsumoto, M.D., of Joslin, a research fellow in the Benoist/Mathis lab, found the problem protein does not reside specifically in the joints, as many researchers had previously thought, but it in an enzyme (protein) called glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI).

To identify the immune system target, the researchers extracted cells from various tissue in normal and arthritic mice. Dr. Matsumoto found that the GPI protein was associated with antibodies in the mice with arthritis. “We then tested our theory in a number of ways. After injecting anti-GPI antibodies in mice that did not have arthritis, the mice did develop the disease,” Dr. Benoist says.


Why, if the target is found throughout the body, does this destruction occur in the joints? “We suspect that some unusual physiological feature of joints may be responsible for focusing the autoimmune destruction in that area,” Dr. Benoist says. “It is really a puzzle at present, but one which should bring important developments in the future.”

A DELICATE BALANCE - Part 3

Targeting T-Cells


Dr. Benoist and Dr. Mathis have focused their efforts over the last two decades on the actions of T lymphocytes, and the genes that control how aggressive these cells are in the body. Certain T-cells recognize molecules (auto-antigens) that target cells in the pancreas, and therefore bring about the destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells. Why do T-cells target pancreatic cells at all? “This is a million dollar question. We have ideas and clues, but no real answers,” Dr. Benoist says. Drs. Mathis and Benoist have found that a critical part of T-cells’ involvement in the destructive process are certain receptors on the cell surface known as T-cell receptors, which interact with molecules on the target cells (known as MHC class I or class II molecules). It is the interplay between the T-cell receptors and the MHC targets that determines the onset the immune system’s attack. “Why people with diabetes cannot control these aggressive receptors and cells is the key question,” Dr. Benoist adds.

Researchers in the Mathis/Benoist lab also have shown that a number of “dampening” genes help control the actions of the T-cells. Some have been clearly identified. The existence of others has been proven by genetic analysis, but their exact identity has yet to be formally pinpointed.

T-Cell
The Benoist/Mathis lab uses transgenic methods to modify the genetic composition of NOD mice, (which frequently develop a form of diabetes similar to that in humans) to create a series of mouse models having varying severity of diabetes depending on their genetic makeup. Some of the mice, for example, have resistance-inducing MHC class II molecules and, therefore, have less severe diabetes. In others the mice are protected from diabetes when a crucial sub-population of T-cells, important to triggering the start of the disease, are eliminated. In some mice, the diabetes is more aggressive, including those in which the effect of dampening molecules is reduced. The researchers have also produced mice in which all T-cells make a receptor directed against the beta cells, making it much easier to study the cells’ behavior. “We try to simplify the model of disease used in the laboratory to understand it more fully,” Dr. Benoist says. Some of these transgenic mouse models of diabetes are now used by many labs in the world.

It is through their studies in these specially bred nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice that Drs. Benoist and Mathis identified the T-cells receptor action as a main culprit. “While many other cells are involved, it appears that the T-cells call the shots on ordering the beta cell destruction and regulating how fast the diabetes progresses,” Dr. Mathis says.

“Once the molecular basis of T-cell activation is fully understood, it may be possible to develop specific treatments to regulate the activation of the autoimmune process,” says Dr. Benoist. “It may be impossible to prevent autoimmunity, but that might not matter if we can control its harmful consequences.” One day it may be possible to inject peptides (small proteins) to slow down or stop the activation of the immune system attack. Or, one day it may be possible to collect T-cells from a patient, modify them using genetic techniques, and transfer them back to the patient in a way that could help. Perhaps the patient would still have an autoimmune attack, but one that does not lead to killing of the beta cells, and could even dampen the killing by other, more aggressive, T-cells. This one day could lead to new drugs to control the autoimmune destruction process.

The researchers also are exploring whether virus or trauma has a role in triggering diabetes. “Possibly there is a link but this is not proven,” Dr. Mathis says. In mice they have observed loss in the beta cell function when the animals are stressed or develop a virus. “It seems that the immune system is poised for beta cell destruction, but kept in check. The infection unleashes it,” Dr. Benoist says. “The immune system has checks and balances in place that keep it in check most of the time. But some scientists believe that a virus, in susceptible individuals, may trigger an over stimulation of the immune system that can’t be brought back under check, leading it to destroy more than the invading organisms, namely in the case of diabetes, the pancreatic beta cells.”


Why do some patients with type 2 diabetes eventually need insulin to manage their blood sugar levels? The Benoist-Mathis team is exploring the notion that the constant stimulation of the beta cells may cause the cells to become tired and die, secondarily activating autoimmunity. As the beta cells break apart in the process of cell death, an overabundance of proteins associated with these cells builds up in the body, triggering an immune system reaction that attacks the still living beta cells, destroying them as well. “The stress of type 2 diabetes on the beta cells could lead to type 1,” Dr. Benoist says. “This results in a type 1 and one-half diabetes, or transitional cases of diabetes.”

A look at the body’s immune system


The body’s immune system is an extremely complex network of different types of cells working together to fight disease. When something like bacteria or a cold virus infects the body, it invades healthy cells and takes over. In response to this invasion, the body recognizes these invaders as foreign and marshals a large arsenal of forces to kill the invading organism and the cells it has invaded. Scientists still have a lot to learn about exactly how the immune system works, but some of the key types of cells and their functions have been identified.


There are several different types of cells involved in the immune system response. T cells (or T lymphocytes), seem to be largely in charge of the immune system, telling other types of cells to mount an attack.


How does the process cause diabetes? Basically, the immune system makes the mistake of thinking an insulin-producing cell is a foreign invader and T-cells activate an attack against them, killing off the healthy islet cells instead of just killing invading organisms.

What Changes in the Immune System
Trigger Type 1 Diabetes?


Like a carefully balanced house of cards, one or more changes in the body’s immune system can trigger a cascade of events that lead to type 1 (juvenile onset or insulin-dependent) diabetes. It’s only after the cards have collapsed and the immune system has gone awry that one can observe the destruction done: The body can no longer control blood sugar (glucose) levels and daily insulin injections are required for the individual to live.

What triggers the immune system to attack its own insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, throwing off track the body’s system for controlling blood sugar levels and obtaining energy from food? Why does type 1 diabetes often develop in young children, while in others it may take decades to develop?

These are some of the questions being explored by Christophe O. Benoist, M.D., Ph.D., and Diane J. Mathis, Ph.D., who head the Section on Immunology and Immunogenetics at Joslin in Boston. Drs. Benoist and Mathis recently moved their world renowned research laboratories from the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cell Biology in Strasbourg, France, to Joslin. They also are professors of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Since 1984 the husband-wife research team and their colleagues have been studying the intricate cellular and genetic mechanisms that cause the immune system to turn against itself, resulting in type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.

“The immune system has an element of chance. Immune receptors are randomly generated so each person’s immune system develops differently,” says Dr. Benoist.
“So in fact, we now know that even identical twins do not, over time, have ‘identical’ immune systems. Studies have found that it’s like shooting dice whether identical twins will develop type 1 diabetes,” Dr. Mathis adds.

An estimated 800,000 Americans have type 1 diabetes. Each year, 13,000 new cases of type 1 diabetes are diagnosed in children and teenagers, making it one of the most common chronic diseases in American children. Yet, it frequently occurs in people in their 30's and beyond. About 85 percent of newly diagnosed cases of type 1 have no family history of the disease, making it difficult on the surface to predict who will develop it.


“Once type 1 diabetes has been diagnosed, 95 percent of the insulin-producing islet cells already have been destroyed. We want to understand the mechanisms so we can intervene early and prevent the islet cells from dying. The ultimate goal is to diagnose children before signs of the disease are even evident, and to then treat and alter the autoimmune cascade,” Dr. Benoist says.

LIVING WITH DIABETES - Syndrome X - Part 4


Exercise

While diet is certainly important, exercise is very important to a healthy eating plan. It’s much easier to control weight by using a moderate decrease in calories and a major increase in exercise, especially to benefit your lipids and cholesterol. 


Tips for exercise success

Too often, the words “exercise” or “working out” bring a shudder. But, as experts have been saying for years, exercise doesn't need to be a chore. Current guidelines are to elevate your heart rate and get active for 30 minutes on most days. That can be a continuous half- hour’s worth of activity, or several chunks. For example, you could take one walk for half an hour, or take three short walks of 10 minutes each.

Some tips from the Heart Association on how to succeed with an exercise or activity plan:

  • Choose activities that are fun, not exhausting. If you enjoy bike riding, for example, use that as your exercise rather than something you hate (such as running). You can also tie in exercise with pleasurable distractions — try walking as you window shop at a mall, or inline skating while you listen to a personal stereo.
  • Add variety. Develop a repertoire of several activities that you can enjoy. That way, exercise will never seem boring or routine. Try walking one day, doing an aerobic video the next, and dancing a third.
  • Dress for success. Wear comfortable, properly fitted footwear and comfortable, loose-fitting clothing appropriate for the weather and the activity.
  • Warm up and cool down. Exercising at a low intensity for 5 to 10 minutes before (warm-up) and after (cool-down) your chosen activity is important to help stretch and warm up muscles and ligaments in preparation for the activity session. The cool-down period also prevents low blood pressure, which sometimes occurs if you are very active and stop suddenly. Warm-ups and cool-downs can be as simple as walking and stretching.
  • Find a convenient time and place to do activities. Try to make it a habit, but be flexible. If you miss an exercise opportunity, work activity into your day another way. If an unexpected meeting means you miss your morning workout session, take a brisk walk at lunch and after dinner instead.
  • Use music to keep you entertained. Ask a computer-literate friend to make you a custom workout compact disc with all your favorites.
  • Surround yourself with supportive people. Decide what kind of support you need. Do you want them to remind you to exercise? Ask about your progress? Participate with you regularly or occasionally? Allow you time to exercise by yourself? Go with you to a special event, such as a 10K walk/run? Be understanding when you get up early to exercise? Spend time with the children while you exercise? Try not to ask you to change your exercise routine?
  • Share your activity time with others. Make a date with a family member, friend or co-worker. Be an active role model for your children. 

  •  Don’t overdo it. Do low- to moderate-level activities, especially at first. You can slowly increase the duration and intensity of your activities as you become more fit. Over time, work up to exercising three or four times per week for 30-60 minutes.

LIVING WITH DIABETES - Syndrome X - Part 3


If you are at risk...

Think about what you ate over the last 24 hours. How much of it was junk food?

We all need to watch our eating habits. If you’re overweight, or have a sibling or parent with type 2 diabetes, you need to be even more diligent if you want to avoid syndrome X and the problems it can induce. If you work on your weight, other improvements in your cholesterol and blood pressure can often follow.

There is an eating plan widely approved and recommended for people who either have insulin resistance or want to avoid it. It includes 15 percent of calories from lean protein such as fish and vegetable proteins. The diet adds 30 percent fat from monounsaturated sources such as canola oil, olive oil, walnut oil and nuts and seeds. The remainder of the diet, 55 percent, is high-fibre carbohydrates such as vegetables, whole grains and other complex carbohydrates. That means avoiding white bread and rice, sweets and the like as much as possible.

Healthy family meals lead to healthy families.
But while this diet is a good starting point, you may not be able to overhaul your eating plan on your own. Each of us is different, and it’s important to take many factors into account before coming up with a plan that’s going to set you up for success instead of failure. Your acceptance of the situation, how you listen and learn, your culture and religion, your social schedule and your upbringing all factor in to how to help you succeed.

You may need the help of an expert to get you started, or to help you make better meal choices. And you may need to experiment with foods you might not be familiar with in order to expand your eating horizons. Many hospitals, organizations and groups offer free or low- cost nutrition education. There are also a number of excellent books on the market. Ask your doctor or nurse to recommend one.

While diet is certainly important, exercise is very important to a healthy eating plan. It’s much easier to control weight by using a moderate decrease in calories and a major increase in exercise, especially to benefit your lipids and cholesterol.

LIVING WITH DIABETES - Syndrome X - Part 2


How can you know if you’re at risk for developing this syndrome? 

If you fall into any of these groups, you’re at risk:

  • You’re overweight.
  • You are not overweight, but you have a tummy paunch and carry weight in your abdominal area.
  • You have a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes.
  • You are a woman who had gestational diabetes during your pregnancy.




 In order to diagnose syndrome X, several evaluations and tests may be used.
Some doctors use a test called a C-peptide test, also called an insulin level test. This test tells doctors if there is excess insulin in the bloodstream, indicating that the pancreas may be compensating for insulin resistance.

Other noninvasive ways to diagnose the syndrome include calculating body mass index (BMI), which measures the ratio between the hips and abdomen. High blood pressure, a high fasting glucose measurement, high blood fats called triglycerides, and low high- density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol measurements are also used.

While lifestyle factors play a major role in the development of syndrome X — and its reversal — doctors have not ruled out a genetic component. In fact, doctors at UT Southwestern Medical Centre at Dallas are heading a multinational study of this syndrome to try to understand the genetic basis for it. They are looking at patients with high blood triglyceride levels and following them, along with their siblings, to see how the syndrome might run in families.
Obviously, though, weight loss through exercise and dietary changes is the preferred way to treat metabolic syndrome. In order to be successful, patients need to implement the TLC program — therapeutic lifestyle changes. Patients have to be willing to make changes and stick to them. If that happens, many of the symptoms can come back to normal or near-normal levels.

But there is still confusion about what is the correct way to go about implementing a healthier lifestyle. For example, even though polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are considered to be “good fats” and are preferred for daily use by nutrition experts, a recent survey showed approximately 42 percent and 39 percent of those surveyed respectively still believe these fats are unhealthy.

But there is hope. People are starting to pay more attention to what they’re eating, some experts say. A survey by the United Soybean Board indicates that 72 percent of Americans are changing their eating habits due to health and nutrition concerns.


Even a modest weight loss of 5 to 10 percent of your total weight can increase your body’s sensitivity to insulin and lower your blood pressure. And exercise is crucial, as it positively affects all of the symptoms of metabolic syndrome.

In your diet, consume soluble fibre. Found in oats, peas, beans and some fruits — including apples — soluble fibre has been scientifically proven to reduce blood cholesterol levels and improve insulin activity. Also make certain your diet contains monounsaturated fat, such as olive oil, canola oil and nuts for the same reasons.

LIVING WITH DIABETES - Syndrome X - Part 1


SYNDROME X

About 25 percent of Americans (figures for SA are not available) are afflicted with what’s known as insulin resistance syndrome or syndrome X.

Despite the confusion on what to call this group of symptoms, the clues are the same: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight and insulin resistance, a condition in which the body cannot properly utilize a hormone that allows the body to convert food into fuel.
Taken together, these symptoms put patients at sky-high risk for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, cancer and circulatory problems.

There’s no question that we are getting fatter and exercising less. According to studies published in the Journal of American Medical Association, more than half of all American adults are overweight or obese. And while there are a myriad of symptoms that contribute to this metabolic syndrome, being overweight or obese is the most inflammatory. Obesity really is the starting point. Weight gain leads to insulin resistance, high blood pressure and diabetes.
While the exact mechanism is unknown, researchers do know that obesity and physical inactivity aggravate insulin resistance. And because both obesity and inactivity are still on the rise, experts predict that a large part of our population is or will become insulin resistant.

Insulin resistance occurs when the normal amount of insulin produced by the pancreas is not able to remove glucose from the blood into the cells for use as energy or storage for future use. The body is forced to produce more insulin to get the same effect as before, but now there is extra insulin in the blood with no glucose to convert. Other studies have shown that such high insulin levels can directly raise blood pressure, and blood pressure is another of the symptoms of the syndrome.

And the compensatory activities of the pancreas force the rest of the body to pay a price. Insulin resistance affects multiple organ systems. At the cellular level, it causes disturbances in chemical responses by and in the body’s cells. This effect promotes high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and abnormalities in blood lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides. The problem is that as time passes, the pancreas loses the ability to produce all this extra insulin and compensate. The insulin levels come down, and they’re not enough to maintain a normal blood glucose level. Once a person’s fasting blood glucose level reaches 7,1 mmol/L or higher, diabetes is diagnosed. Normal blood sugar levels range from 4mmol/L to 6,5 mmol/L.
Excess fat — called adipose tissue — also leads to an overproduction of dangerous blood fats called triglycerides. Doctors are particularly focused on patients who carry extra abdominal fat because it is an accurate predictor of insulin resistance, diabetes and syndrome X. Patients who carry their excess weight in the belly area, rather than the buttocks, legs or arms, have a much higher incidence of metabolic syndrome.

Physical inactivity goes hand in hand with obesity, and not coincidentally, it is the second major component in metabolic syndrome. Exercise helps insulin to work more effectively, which is why exercise is such an important component of diabetes management.
According to the American Heart Association, 24 percent of Americans age 18 or older are not active at all. Adults are better: 54 percent of adults get some exercise, but they don’t do it regularly or intensely enough to protect their hearts. Only 22 percent of American adults get enough leisure time exercise to achieve cardiovascular fitness.

HOW CAN I GET BACK MY ENERGY?




It is crucial to realize the importance of removing unhealthy bacteria, mould and fungus from the intestinal tract and re-establishing the beneficial bacteria. This flora is essential to a strong immune system, assimilation of vitamins, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and the manufacture of Vitamin B12, K and amino acids. It helps reduce cholesterol in the blood, control the pH in the intestines and detoxify the poisonous materials in our diets, while producing cancer-suppressing compounds that strengthen the immune system, increase calcium assimilation and help retard Candida, excess gas and bad breath. 

When unhealthy bacteria overrun the healthy bacteria, outside pathogens penetrate the immune barriers and clog the blood and lymph with further toxic substance. Proper implantation of healthy bacteria begins with cleansing and removing the harmful bacteria/fungus from the digestive system. 


A Complete Colon Cleanse/Nutritional Program can prepare the intestinal environment for beneficial bacteria. Water, juice-fasts or colonics by themselves are unable to remove all these substances. There are various preparations that can remove easily accessible build-ups from the colon alone, but for best results it is necessary to cleanse and restore the strong function of the stomach and entire digestive tract. This can only be accomplished by restoring the beneficial flora balance, ridding the system of accumulated waste pockets and introducing highly nutritious raw-live food sources to replace the over abundance of processed/refined foods, meat, dairy, poultry and excessively cooked foods. This is a crucial change for those who are determined to have better health and sustain it for the rest of their life...

PARASITE’S HEAVEN         

..a dirty, unhealthy intestinal tract.    




This is the ideal environment for worms and parasites. There are over 300 varieties that can live in the human body. Worldwide, worms outrank cancer as our deadliest enemy.  Parasite infestation is growing rapidly, due to a lack of raw fruits and vegetables in the diet and an increased consumption of cooked and acid-forming foods, i.e., processed foods of all kinds, refined sugars, meat, dairy, poultry and coffee. Once in the intestinal tract, parasites have easy access to other parts of the body where they bring on various symptoms and diseases.
