Natural Progesterone and herbals are so important in perimenopause and menopause see here:

I recently had the privilege of interviewing Carol Petersen, a seasoned compounding pharmacist renowned for her expertise in bioidentical hormone replacement...

Very interesting this… Estrogen needs opposing in receptor terms at the root, and with Progesterone, it is the only way … and when it diminishes the head fog etc starts up.. so really makes some sense .. Estrogen and Progesterone have a role to play

A new study in JAMA Neurology challenges the belief that estrogen protects against dementia in women. Learn more about the findings here.

Plants are embodiments of transformational cycles. They germinate and sprout in the Earth; receive the light of the Sun, Moon, and stars; and absorb Water and Air, transforming the Elemental forces into a new form. From the spreading of their leaves, opening of their flowers, and generation of fruits and seeds to their ultimate death and return to the Earth, plants move through distinct processes of transformation. These life cycles are reflections of not only the transformational cycles of Nature but also our own life cycles, each one rich with symbolic meaning reflecting the archetypal forces of life itself.

The practice of evolutionary herbalism harnesses the healing virtues of the plants, along with their embodiments of these trans- formational processes, which are in turn integrated into our lives. Through this cycle, the plants both heal us and teach us, transforming us into the humans we are designed to become. The fertile soil of our true nature is sown with seeds gathered from the heart of the Earth, where they sprout, grow, and flower within us.

Potty about Milk Thistle as a remedy for liver, gall and digestive complaints.. in some studies it has been shown to reverse cirrhosis and hepatocyte damage.. one of my armoury in healing the body and reducing toxins 💜💜💜

Many conventional drugs damage the liver. Silymarin, the concentrated extract from milk thistle seeds (St Mary’s thistle, Silybum marianum) has been proven to protect the liver against toxic effects.

Several experimental studies have shown the protective effect of silymarin against anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH). Hence, scientists in Iran conducted a randomised controlled clinical trial in new cases of tuberculosis (TB). Patients were enrolled to receive either silymarin 150 mg twice daily for two weeks along with a standard anti-TB therapeutic regimen (experimental group; n = 16) or standard anti-TB therapeutic regimen alone (control group; n = 21). Liver function tests (serum AST, ALT, ALP, and total bilirubin) at the end of weeks 1 and 2 as well as the rate of ATDH during the study were determined and compared between the groups.

No significant differences between the herbal and control groups were observed at the end of the first week regarding liver function tests. However, by the end of the second week, the mean serum levels of AST (P = 0.03) and ALP (P = 0.04) were significantly lower in the herbal group. By the second week ALT, AST and ALP had actually decreased in the herbal group, while they were elevated from baseline in the control group. Two patients in the control group (9.5%) developed ATDH, while no one in the herbal group manifested this adverse effect.

Sulfites, present in food, drinks, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, have been named the "Allergen of the Year" for 2024 by the American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS). Sulfites are currently not in most screening patch test series, so may be missed as a relevant contact allergen, Donald Belsito, MD, emeritus professor in the Department of Dermatology at Columbia University, New York City, said in his presentation on the Allergen of the Year on March 7 at the ACDS Annual Meeting in San Diego. Sulfites, he noted, are distinct from sulfates, and the groups do not cross-react with each other.

Sodium disulfite, an inorganic compound, belongs to a group of sulfiting agents, which contain the sulfite ion SO32− and include ammonium sulfite, potassium sulfite, and sodium sulfite. They function as antioxidants and preservatives in a range of products including food and beverages (especially wine), personal care products and pharmaceuticals.

The type of sulfite allergy diagnosed by patch testing is type IV hypersensitivity or delayed-type hypersensitivity, where patients present with pruritic, red, scaling macules, papulovesicles, and patches, Belsito told Medscape Medical News. "It is not the type I, immediate hypersensitivity that causes hives and, in some cases, anaphylaxis," he said. But sulfites also can cause these side effects, so correct labeling of food and beverages is important.

Some common nonoccupational sulfite sources include hair colouring and bleach products, hairspray, tanning lotions, makeup, sunscreens and deodorants, Belsito said in his presentation. Medications including topical antifungals, topical corticosteroids, and nasal solutions can be culprits, as can water in swimming pools.
High-sulfite food products (> 100 ppm) to be aware of include dried fruit (raisins and prunes are exceptions), bottled lemon or lime juice (but not frozen products), wine, molasses, grape juice (white, or white, pink, and red sparkling) and pickled cocktail onions.

"Like other contact allergens, the clinical presentation correlates with exposure," he added. A study by the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) found that 28.8% of patients positive for sulfite allergy on patch testing presented with facial dermatitis, which was not only related to cosmetics and medications used on the face, but also from products, such as shampoo used on the scalp that dripped onto the face. "The scalp is relatively resistant to the expression of contact allergy and may not be involved at all," he said.

According to the NACDG study, the hands were the second most common site of dermatitis associated with sulfites (20.5%) followed by a generalised distribution (13.6%). These sites are to be expected, given the sources of food and beverage, personal care products, and occupational materials, Belsito said.
"Eczematous dermatitis of the lips is also common in patients with ingested food sources of sulfites," he said.

Systemic contact dermatitis to sulfites has been documented following oral, re**al, and parental exposure, Belsito told Medscape Medical News. "Systemic dermatitis may present as a scattered/generalised dermatitis, symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (also referred to as baboon syndrome), or erythroderma," he said.

Donepezil is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to treat Alzheimer disease (AD). While it happens commonly in practice, until recently there had been no systematic assessment of an additional benefit of Ginkgo extract when given in addition to donepezil.

A group of Chinese scientists conducted a meta-analysis of the effectiveness and safety of Ginkgo preparations combined with donepezil hydrochloride versus donepezil alone for the treatment of AD. A total of 1,642 participants were enrolled in the 18 selected randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Of these, 842 were in the experimental group (Ginkgo preparations combined with donepezil) and 800 were in the control group (donepezil).

The overall methodological quality of the included RCTs was poor due to the high risks of blindness and allocation concealment. The meta-analysis results showed statistically significant differences in several outcomes. These included an overall Risk Ratio (RR) change for clinical effectiveness (1.23, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.13 to 1.34, P < 0.00001). Positive results between the experimental and control groups were also observed in terms of mean differences (MDs) for changes in the Mini-Mental State Examination score (3.02, 95% CI 2.14 to 3.89, P < 0.00001), Activity of Daily Living Scale score (-4.56, 95% CI -5.09 to -4.03, P < 0.00001), Hasegawa Dementia Scale score (2.04, 95% CI 1.74 to 2.34, P < 0.00001) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score (2.38, 95% CI 0.72 to 4.06, P = 0.005). But there was no statistically significant difference for adverse reactions (0.91, 95% CI 0.58 to 1.42, P = 0.69).

The authors concluded that Ginkgo biloba preparations plus donepezil can improve the clinical effectiveness rate and vocabulary memory outcomes compared to the drug on its own. However, more relevant high-quality RCTs are needed in the future to validate these results.
