The following is part two by guest author Dr. Nicole Apelian. She was among the first women selected for the History Channel’s hit TV show “Alone”. She has B.S and M.S. degrees in Biology from McGill University in Canada and the University of Oregon. She earned her Doctorate through Prescott College.

腸を元気にする 6 つのハーブ

以下は、ゲスト著者であるニコールアペリアン博士によるパート 2 です。彼女は、ヒ ストリーチャンネルの人気テレビ番組「アローン」に選ばれた最初の女性の一人でし た。 彼女は、カナダのマギル大学およびオレゴン大学で生物学の学位を取得し、学士号と修 士号を持っています。彼女はプレスコット大学で博士号を取得しました。
私は、腸を癒し、健康な微生物叢を促進する 霊芝・ライオンのたてがみ・七面鳥の尾 の薬用キノコ・オオバコ・アスリッパリーニレ・マシュマロ、6 つの特別なハーブを使 用しています。この植物は、炎症を軽減し、重要なプレバイオティクスを提供し、腸の 再生と治癒を可能にする保護膜を腸内に形成するのに役立ちます。追加の利点は、以下 で説明します。

霊芝(Ganoderma lucidum)
霊芝は、炎症の増加・ホルモンの不均衡・高コルチゾール、疲労などのストレスによる 悪影響に対して身体を強化する優れたアダプトゲンハーブです。ストレスが炎症を引き 起こす可能性があるため、霊芝は 多発性硬化病の場合に特に重要です。また霊芝も若 返りの睡眠を促し、副腎の健康を促進し、健康な免疫反応をサポートします。さらに、 神経保護作用があり、アレルギーを鎮め、抗ウイルス作用もあります。
ライオンのたてがみ (Hericium erinaceus)

ライオンのたてがみキノコは、神経系を強化し、腸の炎症に対処するため、多発性硬化 症を管理するためのもう一つの優れた漢方薬です。また、ミエリン鞘として知られる神 経線維を取り囲む保護的な脂肪コーティングの修復に必要な神経成長因子の促進にも役 立ちます。多発性硬化症の患者の場合、ミエリン鞘は重度の損傷を受けていることがよ くあります。このタンパク質は、学習・記憶・集中力に関与するニューロンを維持しま す。 研究により、ライオンのたてがみは認知機能も改善する効果もあることが証明さ れています。
七面鳥の尾 (トラメテス癜風)
もう一つ抗炎症作用のある薬用キノコは七面鳥の尾です。また、免疫システムの活性が 過剰になったり、活性が低下したりしないように調節するにも役立ち、自己免疫を管理 するための優れた漢方薬になります。 さらに、この印象的なキノコは優れたプレバイオティクスでもあり、カンジダと闘い、 小腸細菌の異常増殖 (SIBO) に対処します。

冬虫夏草 (Cordyceps militaris)
私は多発性硬化症を管理するために、毎日冬虫夏草の抽出物も使用しています。霊芝と
同様に、冬虫夏草は何世紀にもわたって伝統的な中国医学で使用されていました。冬虫
夏草は多発性硬化症患者にとって重要な考慮事項である神経細胞死を減らす神経保護特

I use six specific herbs that heal the gut and promote a healthy microbiome: reishi, lion’s mane, and turkey tail medicinal mushrooms, along with plantain, slippery elm, and marshmallow. These botanicals help to calm inflammation, provide important prebiotics, and create a protective coating in the gut that allows it to regenerate and heal. They also have additional benefits, which we will explore below.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
(Link for reishi photo: https://nicolesapothecary.com/products/reishi-mushroom-tincture)
Reishi mushroom is an outstanding adaptogenic herb that strengthens the body against the negative effects of stress — such as increased inflammation, hormonal imbalance, high cortisol, and fatigue. This is particularly important if you have MS because stress can cause a flare. Reishi also encourages rejuvenating sleep, promotes adrenal health, and supports a healthy immune response. Moreover, it is neuroprotective, calms allergies, and is antiviral.

Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) (Link for lion’s mane photo:
https://nicolesapothecary.com/products/lions-mane-mushroom-tincture)
Lion’s mane mushroom is another impressive herbal medicine for managing MS as it fortifies the nervous system and addresses gut inflammation. It also helps to encourage Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which is necessary for the repair of the protective, fatty coating surrounding nerve fibers known as the myelin sheath. For those with MS, the myelin sheath is often severely damaged. This protein maintains the neurons that are involved in learning, memory, and focus. Research has
established that lion’s mane also improves cognitive function.

Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor)
(Link for turkey tail photo: https://nicolesapothecary.com/products/turkey-tail-mushroom-tincture)
Another anti-inflammatory medicinal mushroom is turkey tail. It also helps to modulate the immune system so that it is not over or under active, making it an excellent herbal remedy for managing autoimmunity. Turkey tail is exceptional for healing leaky gut, chronic fatigue syndrome, and treats a range of bacterial and viral infections as well. What’s more, this impressive mushroom is also an outstanding prebiotic, combats candida, and addresses small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris) (Link for cordyceps photo:
https://nicolesapothecary.com/products/cordyceps-mushroom-tincture)
Additionally, I use a cordyceps extract everyday to manage my MS. Similar to reishi, cordyceps has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries. It is known to have neuroprotective properties that reduce neuronal cell death — an important consideration for those with MS. This unique mushroom is anti-inflammatory and helps to improve energy. It is also antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiprotozoal, which is helpful for addressing poor gut health. Cordyceps is anti-cancer and regulates blood sugar as well.

Lastly, plantain, slippery elm, and marshmallow root calm inflammation, soothe mucous membranes, and create a protective layer that helps the gut to regenerate. I have found these botanicals to be essential for healing leaky gut.

Nicole Apelian, Ph.D.

Dr. Nicole Apelian is an herbalist, a mother, a survival skills instructor, an anthropologist, and a biologist. She has B.S and M.S. degrees in Biology from McGill University in Canada and the University of Oregon. She earned her Doctorate through Prescott
College while working as an anthropologist and ethnobotanist in Botswana.
She has spent years living in nature with the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, one of the last indigenous peoples who still live as hunter-gatherers. Developing strong relationships within the tribe helped Nicole learn many of the remedies and skills she practices and teaches today and she continues her work with the San through her non-profit, “The Origins Project“.
An unexpected diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2000 led Nicole to apply her research skills towards her own personal wellness. She focused on a healthy living strategy, including deep nature connection and gratitude practices. Through changes in her lifestyle, recognizing profound mind-body linkages, and making and using her own remedies, Nicole went from bedridden to being fully alive and from surviving to thriving.
She believes that there are many more people suffering who need to find their own remedy. This became her life’s mission and the main reason for writing her book The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies: The Healing Power of Plant Medicine. In it she poured over 28 years of plant knowledge and her first-hand experiences of making her own poultices, tinctures, decoctions, salves, infused oils, and other herbal remedies.
In 2015 she was among the first women ever selected for the History Channel’s hit TV show “Alone”. Despite having MS, she went on to survive solo for 57 days straight in a remote area of Vancouver Island with little more than her hunting knife and the wild foods and medicines she found there.

More on gut microbiome influences on depression

スレッド
image source: dreamstime image source: dreamstime
The influence of genetic variation on the rate of depression ranges from 37% to 48%, showing a strong relation between family history and depression. The gut microbiome can be a promising approach for managing depression.

Gut dysbiosis is associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) by involvement with various aspects of Gut-brain axis (GBA). It promotes neuroinflammation and causes behaviour alteration, according to the September 07, 2022 Science Direct report.

There are three diet metabolites - kynurenine, tryptophan, and propionic acid - that greatly influence the activities of the gut microbiome and the deficiencies of which can contribute to depression. Researchers found that depression disorder also shows gut-brain dysregulation, an increase in inflammatory cytokines in the blood of depressive patients, dysregulation in fatty acid metabolism, neuropeptide, gut hormone and neurotransmitter synthesis, and abnormal immune system activation, as reported by Science Direct.

Looking for specific microbes helps identify cancer; aids in early treatments

スレッド

Subhajyoti De, associate professor of cancer systems biology at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey together with RWJBarnabas Health, found that microorganisms may be new targets for earlier diagnosis or treatment of pancreatic cancer (1).

According to the October 10 2022 Rutgers University press release, they were able to identify tumor-associated microbes and measure the activity of the host cells at the same time. They examined the microbiome of pancreatic tumors and identified particular microorganisms that are associated with inflammation and poor survival (2).

Short of two weeks earlier, research by Lian Narunsky Haziza, a cancer biologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, found that tumors contain millions of microbes and fungi, representing dozens of species, according to a September 29 2022 New York Times article (2).

So-called tumor microbiome is proving so distinctive in each type of cancer that some scientists hope to find early signs of hidden tumors by measuring the microbial DNA they shed into the blood, says the study led by Dr. Haziza.

On April 19 2022 Mind Body Green reported a study that found "that capsaicin (in cayenne pepper) alters the gut microbial community structure by increasing the diversity of the community." Capsaicin is an antioxidant said to aid in proper digestion, with anti-inflammatory effects. Researchers used the in vitro model to conduct their research.

Capsaicin stimulates the nerves in your stomach and us said to help to increase the production of digestive fluid. According to WebMD, it sends enzymes to the stomach to aid in digestion, and protectshe the stomach from infections.

On October 28 2020 Inverse reported the impact of sugar consumption in mice led by co-author, Hasan Zaki, a researcher at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. He and his team studied the effects of different types of sugars on gut microbiome by testing inflammatory responses on gut microbiota in mice.

They tested the impact of glucose, sucrose, and fructose on inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The mice were fed high levels of these sugars for one to five weeks.

Mice that were given these high sugar diets suffered from aggressive colon inflammation with severe diarrhea and a rapid loss of nearly 20 percent of their body weight. The sugar was fed to a particular gut bacteria called Akkermansia muciniphila, known to degrade mucus in the gut lining.

Researchers also transferred the gut microbiota of sugar-fed mice into healthy mice. The result also exacerbated healthy mice, who received the gut microbiota transferred from the sugar fed mice.

2020年10月28日、共著者に指導でテキサス大学南西医療センターの研究者のHasan Zakiがマウスの砂糖消費の影響について報告しました。
彼が自分のチームと共に、マウスの腸内細菌叢に対する炎症反応をテストすることにより、腸内細菌叢に対するさまざまな種類の糖の影響を研究しました。

彼らは、クローン病や潰瘍性大腸炎などの炎症性腸疾患(IBD)に対するグルコース、ショ糖、果糖の影響をテストしました。マウスに糖を高レベルで1〜5週間与えました。

高糖食を与えられたマウスは、重度の下痢を伴う攻撃的な結腸の炎症と体重のほぼ20パーセントの急速な減少でした。砂糖は、粘液を腸のライニングに劣化することで知られているアッカーマンシア・ムシニフィラと呼ばれる特定の腸内細菌に給餌されました。

研究者はまた、砂糖を与えられたマウスの腸内細菌叢を健康なマウスに移しました。結果はまた、砂糖を与えられたマウスから移された腸内細菌叢を受け取った健康なマウスを悪化させました。

2 short chain fatty acids in the gut tied to breast cancer treatment efficacy

スレッド
October is Breast Cancer Awa... October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month; source: depositphotos.com
Just as we have reported last week about how the presence of butyrate supports a healthy gut, on the other hand, it can be detrimental to breast cancer chemotherapy. According to a September 17 2020 report in the American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC), 2 short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), propionate and butyrate, have been identified as tied to the efficacy of breast cancer chemotherapy (1). The study was conducted in Scotland led by Kirsty Ross, MBChB, MSc, a specialist registrar in medical oncology at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre, Glasgow, United Kingdom. The Beatson West Cancer Centre studied 21 patients with early-stage breast cancer.

The SCFAs were shown to be lower in the gut bacteria of patients achieving pathological complete response (pCR) compared with those not achieving pCR after surgery. According to Ross and her colleagues, they "dampen down the immune system’s ability to target cancer cells", as quoted in the AJMC article (1).

This points back to the fact that when it comes to personal health, it is very personal, and what is healthy for one person is not necessarily healthy for another person. As Herbsprout article quoted Viome CEO Naveen Jain, "one man's food is another man's poison." (2)

The health benefits of butter

スレッド
The health benefits of butter
One common misconception is that butter is not healthy for you because it is fattening. It is true. It is fattening, but in a good way; it contains good fat. Butter is a good source of healthy fat, omega-3 fatty acids, particularly unsaturated, organic butter. It is the best, richest dietary source of a short chain fatty acid (SCFA) called butyrate.

The microbiome in our gut are known to metabolize acetate, propionate, and butyrate (at 60%, 25%, and 15% respectively), according to Dr. Deanna Minich (1). Butyrate is rich source of energy for the cells in our gut.

Butyrate is the energy source for cells that line the wall of our gut and helps prevent diarrhea and other digestive health issues. Beyond that, it plays a key role as an anti-inflammatory, gene regulation, and maintaining a balanced immune system.

In addition to butyrate, Butter is an excellent source of vitamin A, Vitamin E, and another fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is also known to be an anti-inflammatory and provide immune support (2).

New discovery about how bacteria adheres to our gut's cell walls

New discovery about how bact...
Researchers at the University of Basel and ETH Zurich have found a new mechanism by which bacteria adhere to cellulose fibers on the cell walls of the human gut, according to an August 28 2020 article in Phys.Org.

The significance of understanding this is it helps us understand an important part of how our gut microbiome influences our health. Professor Michael Nash from the University of Basel and ETH Zurich studied combinations of "single-molecule atomic force microscopy, single-molecule fluorescence and molecular dynamics simulations", according to the report.

Researchers believe there is a dual binding mode, one significantly stronger than the other. The bacteria is believed to control the binding mode preference by modifying the proteins and the adherence strength. "This would allow switching from a low to high adhesion state depending on the environment," according to Nash. Learning this process and how it works may help scientists employ bacteria that adhere to certain disease targets, at the higher adhesion rate.

How gut bacteria can enhance cancer treatment

スレッド
The journal Science and an August 13 2020 article by The New Atlas describe how certain species of gut bacteria can improve cancer immunotherapy efficacy. The results are based on a study of mice and shows a new bacteria metabolite-immune pathway.

A study led by principle investigator Kathy McCoy, from the University of Calgary, isolated three particular bacterial species associated with positive immunotherapy. These were Bifidobacterium pseudolongum, Lactobacillus johnsonii and Olsenella.

The study of four mice also found that bacterial metabolite inosine plays a role in activating anti-tumor T-cells.
