The Utilization of Needle-Free Acupuncture and Chinese Traditional Medicine Theory to Cure Two Patients Suffering from Different Types of Chronic Urticaria

A woman, aged 35 year-old, had suffered chronic idiopathic urticaria for 8 months before she started needle-free acupuncture treatment from Wendy Chen Hälsoklinik.

In August 2015, the patient suddenly started suffering from urticaria without any reasonable explanation to the origin of the cause. This occurred 11 months after giving birth.

There were no reasons for rashes, which were found all over the body and resurfaced every day. These rashes usually appeared in the night and got worse in the morning.

Airway Hyperresponsiveness: An Unsung Clinical Manifestation

Airway Hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is one of the key features of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where the airway sensitivity is increased.

The research suggested that there is a relation between inflammatory state and severity of hyperresponsiveness of the airway, though the causative agents and consequences are different in asthma and COPD.

However, before estimating hyperresponsiveness, there is a need to understand the consequences of airway inflammation, which are different in asthma and COPD.

Jatropha Curcas Linn can Reduce the Expression of Hsp70 that will Result in Reduced Errors in Protein Folding and Promotion of Normal Protein Function in Proliferation and Apoptosis

Jatropha curcas Linn as a local plant have phytochemical contents, like anti-inflammatory and cytotoxicity properties of phenolic extract. Leaf of J.curcas contents higher phenolic compound, flavonoid and saponin. Application of different varieties of J.curcas in traditional medicine had been reported.

However, information regarding the bioactive compounds and the therapeutic activities is still lacking. These studies suggest that components from J.curcas may have anticancer function and potentially be useful for prevention and treatment strategies.All organisms respond to heat (heat shock response) by upregulating specific heat shock or stress proteins.

Research over the last decade has shown that increased expression of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) plays a role in protein folding errors from denaturised proteins and new protein translation, causing proteins to function abnormally. Multiple hits – multiple steps – multiple stage stressors may experience distress and express Hsp70, among other cellular factors, to inhibit cell proliferation and enhance apoptosis.
