[What is Curcuma Longa?]

Turmeric is an herbaceous plant known scientifically as Curcuma longa. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which includes ginger. Tumeric has rhizomes rather than true roots, which are the primary source of commercial value for this plant. Tumeric originates from southwest India, where it has been a stable of Siddha medicine for thousands of years. It is also a common spice in Indian cuisine and is often used as flavoring for Asian mustards.

In this episode of Bubble Child, we have Damien Binois from Nossa! Fruits in our kitchen to make an Avocado Acai Bowl that’s vegan, gluten-free, and grain-free. FULL RECIPE BELOW.

We got lucky in the Bubble Child kitchen! CEO and Founder of Nossa! Fruits Damien Binois stops by to show us how to make an Acai Bowl with his organic frozen acai. Damien’s company is the only one in France to directly import and sell organic acai, and I’m happy to know it’s from someone with such product for the berry, the environment of Brazil, and food!!

I’m really happy with the way this superfood turned into frozen dessert. It’s completely grain-free, vegan, and gluten-free, and is loaded with minerals, vitamins, antioxydants, and omega fatty acids.

No wonder Brazilians have so much energy.

AVOCADO ACAI BOWL

serves two

400 g frozen acai (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 banana
1 avocado
1/4-1/2 tsp. stevia (depending upon how much you like it)*
a pinch wasabi powder
1 square dark chocolate
1/4 cup dried raspberries
2 tbs. roasted pumpkin seeds
lemon zest

1. Blend acai, banana, avocado, stevia and wasabi in a blender, starting with the banana and avocado on the bottom, and the acai, stevia, and wasabi powder on top.
2. Immediately spoon into serving containers. Top with raspberries and pumpkin seeds. Add a pinch of lemon zest, and finally grate some dark chocolate on top with a microphone for a fabulous texture.

*if you hate stevia, agave nectar or coconut sugar are other low glycemic replacements. Add about 2 tbs. or each if you’re replacing the stevia.

Benefits and logistics of oxymatrine for Hepatitis C viral load control.

Here’s Some Studies in writing

https://lloydwright.org/messages/hepatitis/tags/oxymatrine

Matrine and oxymatrine are the two major alkaloid components found in sophora roots. They are obtained primarily from Sophora japonica (kushen), but also from Sophora subprostrata (shandougen), and from the above ground portion of Sophora alopecuroides. The matrines were first isolated and identified in 1958; they are unique tetracyclo-quinolizindine alkaloids (see Figure 1) found only in Sophora species thus far. An intensive investigation into the pharmacology and clinical applications of these alkaloids has gone on for the past decade and remains one of the focal points of Chinese medical research. The main clinical applications are treatment of people with cancer, viral hepatitis, cardiac diseases (such as viral myocarditis), and skin diseases (such as psoriasis and eczema).

The crude herb and crude hot-water extracts of sophora have been available in the West for more than 25 years. An alkaloid fraction of sophora roots containing a standardized level of oxymatrine and matrine (20%) was first introduced by the Institute for Traditional Medicine, and made available to practitioners in tablet form under the name Oxymatrine (White Tiger) in 1998. It has been used without reported side effects. In China, the alkaloids are often given by injection, but this method of administration is not acceptable in the West, so oral dosing is used here instead. When taken orally, much of the oxymatrine is converted to matrine; to get high blood levels of oxymatrine, it must be given by injection. However, it is unclear whether oxymatrine is clinically more effective than matrine. Chinese researchers have also used the alkaloids in capsule form, with results that appear similar to the injection. Sophora is also administered in complex formulas made as decoctions and taken orally.

Sophora japonica contains about a dozen alkaloids, with matrine and oxymatrine being by far the highest, together comprising about 2% of the dried root stock (most of it in the form of oxymatrine), followed by closely related alkaloids: mainly sophocarpine, but also minute amounts of sophoranol, sophoramine, sophoridine, allomatrine, isomatrine, and others (see Figure 2). These alkaloids were first reported as constituents of kushen in a series of publications from 1958-1978.

An overview of recent research on the pharmacology and clinical applications of the sophora alkaloids is presented below. In general, the dosage of the sophora alkaloids administered clinically is in the range of 400-600 mg per day.
VIRAL HEPATITIS

As described by Chen Yanxi and his colleagues at the Shanghai Second Medical University (1):

In recent years, oxymatrine has been recommended for treating chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis C and has been shown effective in clinical practice. It has been utilized for these applications broadly, but the factors affecting its efficacy have not yet been determined.

Chen and his group gave oxymatrine injection to patients with hepatitis B. He confirmed that the viral load declined by this treatment, suggesting that oxymatrine served to inhibit the viral replication, not just reduce liver damage, which is the primary and more limited effect of many herbs used for hepatitis. Antiviral activity, for hepatitis C virus, was confirmed by the same group in cell culture tests (2). Clinical effectiveness for patients with hepatitis C had been reported earlier, including reduction of viral load (3). Oxymatrine may reduce death of liver cells damaged by means other than by inhibiting viral activity, as indicated in a pharmacology study of liver protective effects in immune-based liver damage (4).

Kang Junjie and Kang Suqiong, at the Treatment Center for Hepatic Diseases of the Amoy Municipal Hospital, reported that oxymatrine injection did not cause side effects other than rare local reactions at the injection site (5). They used this injection along with oral administration of complex Chinese herb formulas designed to match symptom-sign complexes and claimed that the effects were comparable to those attained with interferon therapy, except that adverse reactions were avoided. In particular, they claimed that the use of oxymatrine and Chinese herb formulas inhibited liver fibrosis (for further information on Chinese herbs for this purpose, see: Treatment and prevention of liver fibrosis). The inhibition of fibrosis appears to be a separate for additional function of sophora alkaloids beyond inhibiting viral activity. In laboratory animal studies carried out by Chen Weizhong and his colleagues at the Changzheng Hospital in Shanghai, matrine was shown to reduce the formation of liver fibrosis that was caused by chemical damage to the liver (6).
