Ku Shen (Sophora flavescens) in History and Research
Ku shen, the dried root of Sophora flavescens, has a long story that runs from early Chinese materia medica through modern laboratory science and clinical use. Its medicinal use is recorded very early in China’s herbal tradition: the herb appears in classical...

Evidence that 40Hz gamma stimulation promotes brain health is expanding
A decade after scientists in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT first began testing whether sensory stimulation of the brain’s 40Hz “gamma” frequency rhythms could treat Alzheimer’s disease in mice, a growing evidence base supporting...

TrebleHealth : Can Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)Help Treat Tinnitus?
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-surgical brain stimulation method used to treat various mental and neurological conditions. Introduced in 1985, it gained FDA approval in 2008 for...

Pulsed Magnetic-Field Therapy: A New Concept to Treat Tinnitus?
Abstract: Both clinical and neurophysiological data suggest that chronic tinnitus is characterized by focal brain activation. In the study reported here, pulsed magnetic-field therapy induced a highly significant increase of average total power for the...

MEDICAL: An extraordinary claim: turning water into drugs
A La Jolla startup has made an audacious claim, even by thebiomedical industry’s standards. It says it can turn water into drugs. The company, Nativis Inc., says its technology comes from awell-established theory of physics, quantum electrodynamics. According...

Reversing hearing loss with regenerative therapy
MIT spinout Frequency Therapeutics’ drug candidate stimulates the growth of hair cells in the inner ear. Most of us know someone affected by hearing loss, but we may not fully appreciate the hardships that lack of hearing can bring. Hearing loss can lead...

PEMF : Intensity of the magnetic field
The intensity or amplitude is the strength of the magnetic field. The Earth’s natural static magnetic field is 33-66 micro-Tesla (uT). That corresponds to 0.33 to 0.66 Gauss. The Earth’s Schumann resonance, which is more of the frequency component of...

Scientists Create Drug-like Cocktail to Regenerate Hair Cells
Researchers make breakthrough with drug-like cocktail to regenerate hair cells using a mouse model Experts say that effective hearing loss treatments have eluded medicine due to sensory cells in the inner ear—called hair cells—becoming damaged or destroyed,...

Nativis raises $10M for device that uses electromagnetic fields to mimic the effects of cancer drugs
Imagine an external device that could have the same effect, when pointed at a tumor, as a cancer drug. It may sound like science fiction, but a Seattle startup is already making this technology a reality. Bioelectronics company Nativis is developing a...

The Neurophysiology Behind Exercise-Induced Relief of Ear Myoclonus
Intense, short bursts of exercise often stop annoying spasms because they change your body chemistry and your nervous system’s “setting” — they boost blood flow, raise body temperature, release endorphins and other inhibitory signals, and temporarily...

Oolong Tea: What the Science Says About Its Health Benefits
Oolong tea does appear to have healthful properties, although the strength of the evidence varies by outcome and much of the best mechanistic work comes from lab or animal studies rather than large, definitive human trials. At the chemical level, oolong...

EGCG: A Key Bioactive Compound in Green Tea with Therapeutic Potential
EGCG (pronounced "E-G-C-G") stands for epigallocatechin-3-gallate, a specific type of polyphenol found most abundantly in green tea. Chemically, it belongs to a group called catechins — plant-made molecules that often act like mild protective chemicals...

Polyphenols as Regulators of Immune Function
Polyphenols are a large family of compounds found in plants — things like tea, berries, apples, onions, wine, and many herbs and spices. When people say polyphenols have “immunomodulatory” effects, they mean these compounds can change how the immune system...

How PEMF Influences Ion Channels and Stem Cell Behavior
Mechanisms of Actions : The immune response is a tightly regulated process where any imbalance in its strict regulation could lead to pathological conditions. The important role of ion channel stability in immune function is becoming more apparent. After...

La double vue : Notions sur le monde invisible.
— L'hermétisme conçoit l'univers sous quatres aspects : matière, force, lois, cause-principe des lois. Ces quatre aspects correspondent chacun à une catégorie essentiellement distincte des trois autres. Ainsi, le domaine de la matière inerte et tangible...

L'Extériorisation de la sensibilité : l'envoûtement
CHAPITRE III L'ENVOUTEMENT I Les expériences que je viens de rapporter ont certainement rappelé à l'esprit du lecteur les vieilles histoires de figurines de cire qu'on transperçait avec des épingles, dans la croyance que les blessures ainsi faites sur...

Understanding the Causes of Psoriasis and Eczema
Psoriasis : Psoriasis happens when the body’s immune system sends the wrong signals and makes skin cells grow too fast. Instead of taking weeks for old skin to shed and new skin to form, the cycle speeds up to days, so dead skin piles up and makes the...

How Immune Dysfunction Contributes to Intestinal Permeability
Immune system problems can cause the gut to become more “leaky,” and this happens through a few clear biological mechanisms. When the immune system is activated (because of infection, chronic inflammation, or an autoimmune attack), it releases signaling...

Low Butyrate Availability: A Mechanistic Link Between Leaky Gut and Chronic Disease
When the production of butyrate in the colon is insufficient, the first and most critical consequence is a cellular energy crisis. The epithelial cells lining the large intestine, known as colonocytes, rely on butyrate for the vast majority of their fuel....

Scientists discover compounds that help cells fight a wide range of viruses
The molecules trigger a built-in cellular stress response and show promise as broad-spectrum antivirals against Zika, herpes, RSV, and more. Researchers at MIT and other institutions have identified compounds that can fight off viral infection by activating...

Protease Enzymes: Biological Functions and Therapeutic Implications
Protease enzymes are proteins that act like tiny molecular scissors: they cut other proteins into smaller pieces. In biological terms, a protease recognizes specific links — peptide bonds — that join amino acids together in a protein, and it breaks those...

A History of Protease Enzymes: From Early Physiological Observations to Modern Biochemistry
Protease enzymes have a long, well-documented history that runs in parallel with the rise of modern biochemistry. The story begins in the 19th century with simple physiological observations about digestion and blood clotting and then accelerates in the...

Immunopathology of Psoriasis and Eczema
Both psoriasis and eczema involve the immune system, but they do so in different ways and for different reasons. Psoriasis is best thought of as an immune-driven, hyperproliferative disease of the skin: specific immune cells (notably Th17-type T cells)...
