VISCUM ALBUM PLANT
The mistletoe lectins in the herb are hypotensive,anti cytotoxic , and immune – stimulating . It causes improvement symptoms of chronic joint conditions, and significant lengthening of several times of cancer patients as well an improvement of quality of life.
Indications and usage:
The stem of the herb is used for its calming effect: in the treatment of mental and exhaustation: and as tranquilizer against nervous conditions such as agitation, anxiety, and increase excitability.
Approved by commission E:
TUMOR THERAPY
RHEUMATAISM
It is used for treating degenerative inflammation of joints and as palliative therapy for malignant tumors through non specific stimulation. Other uses include long term therapy for cases of mild high pressure and as atherosclerosis prophylactic.
It also may used for high blood pressure , epilepsy , whooping cough , asthma , vertiginous attack , amenorrhea , diarrhea , chorea , nervous tachycardia and hysteria.
The herb is used for joint pain, tendon and muscle pain, lumbago, back pain, vaginal bleeding during pregnancy and a Galatia.
Contraindications:
Protein oversensitivity, chronic progressive infections e.g., tuberculosis, and conditions of high fever
Precautions and adverse reactions:
No health hazards or side effects are known in conjunction with the proper administration of designated therapeutic dosages. The berries are said to have emetic and evacuant effects and to have caused the death of children. However unambiguous proof for these effects does not exist.
The wheal formation and the elevation of body temperature are considered as signs of immune system stimulation and therefore as positive therapeutic effects.
Daily dosage:
The recommended dose daily dosage is 10 gm
The dosage foe medicinal tea is 1 to 2 cups daily, EUROPEAN MISLETOE WINE dosage is 3 to 4 glasses daily.
The mechanism of the viscum album plant action as anti cancer by the reactivation of the inactivated p53 gene but what that means the researchers has approved that the gene p 53 which is located on the shot arm of the chromosome no: 17 it is an inhibitor gene for tumor growth and it is doing its role as anti malignant tumors through a lot of many mechanism play a role in apoptosis, genomic stability, and inhibition of angiogenesis through several mechanism:
1-It can activate DNA repair proteins when DNA has sustained damage
2-It can induce growth arrest by holding the cell cycle at the G/S regulation point on DNA damage recognition
3- it holds the cell for long enough , the DNA repair proteins will have time to fix the damage and the cell will be allowed to continue the cell cycle)).
It can initiate apoptosis, the programmed cell death, if DNA proves to be irreparable 4-
When the human body exposed to hypoxia or stress injury the human body is going to activate the p 53 gene to stop the cell grow thing in the g1/s phase that give the time to proteins to repair DNA so it doesn't permit it to pass into the next stage of the cell division stages.
If there is a mutation of one of the two inherited genes the persons will susceptible to cancer occurrence an usually it develops in the two life peaks and the mutation in these genes was found in most viewed malignant tumors.
The viscum album plant fights cancers and tumors by inhibiting the growth of cancer and by stimulating a host mediated response. NATURAL KILLER cells are also promoted enhance the immune system .It is often used in conjunction with chemotherapy to increase cancer survival rates. The viscum album plant fights is being proposed as an inhibitor of HIV replication based on in vitro study.
The viscum album plant fights has also demonstrated itself to activate interferon production .VISCUM ALBUM PLANT has also been found to regenerate damaged bone marrow, increase energy levels and offer pain relief in cancer patients.
MENTHA PIPERITA :
IT IS USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF COMMON COLD, COUGH, BRONCHITIS, FEVER AND COLDS, INFLAMATION OF THE MOUTH AND PHARYNX, LIVER AND GALL BLADDER COMPLAINTS, DYSPEPTIC COMPLAINTS, TENDENCY TO INFECTION, anemia ,thrombocytopenia , platelet dysfunction Page number 580 in the PDR FOR HERBAL MEDICINE
In a conclusion the viscum album plant useful in the treatment of the malignant tumors in general, but after the recent experiences by the medical researchers in the company labs in CANADA it has been discovered that the adding of the MINTA PIPRETA making the mixture more powerful and useful in the treatment of malignant tumors in general and hematological based origin as a special condition
