Viel onlangs bij ons op de mat : het 2e nummer van
2009. Een 80tal pagina's met interessante
wetenschappelijke informatie uit de TCMwereld van
China.
The English Edition of JTCM, inaugurated in 1981, is
an international quarterly devoted to clinical and
theoretical research in this branch of medicine. The
main columns include: Expert's Forum, Clinical
Observation, Basic Investigation, Reviews, Lectures,
Teaching Round, and Questions and Answers
involving Acupuncture, massotherapy and Chinese
materia medica. Papers by outstanding clinicians,
acupuncturists and researchers provide the latest
information on the development of this discipline.
JTCM is an indispensable reading for clinical
practitioners and others interested in basic medicine
research.

Helderheid en de waarheid over wat een substituut
lijkt te zijn, maar wel eens een verbetering zou kunnen
blijken te zijn.
Enkele fragmenten van het internet. This plant has an unusual requirement for survival: it
must have the Armillaria mellea mushroom mycelia
incorporated into the tuber in order to maintain its
maturation and growth, and it requires another fungus,
Mycena osmundicola, to sprout the seeds. When
supplies of the crude gastrodia became rare in the
1970's, attempts at cultivating the plant repeatedly
failed until this complex synergistic plant/mushroom
relationship was determined. Then, cultivation
became easy, though it was not until the late 1980's
that an adequate cultivated supply of gastrodia was
developed.
Interestingly, the medicinal benefits of gastrodia were found to be mainly the metabolites of the Armillaria mushroom. In other words, if one could grow the mushroom, the gastrodia tuber could be dispensed with and one could use just the mushroom material in place of gastrodia. VINDPLAATS KLIK HIER The Armillaria mushroom that is necessary for the
growth of the gastrodia tuber has been given the
Chinese name of tian ma mihuanjun. It is more potent
than the gastrodia tuber because it is the source of the
tuber's active compounds. Although exact
comparisons have not yet been
determined................
VINDPLAATS KLIK HIER All available literature regarding the chemistry,
pharmacology, animal data, and clinical use of tian
ma and its constituents are reviewed, showing that
tian ma, its constituents, and its symbiotic fungus
Armillaria mellea have antiepileptic properties in in
vitro and in vivo models. One clinical study reportedly
demonstrated the AED effects of a component of tian
ma, vanillin. Thus, tian ma, its constituent vanillin, and
its symbiotic fungus armillaria hold promise as cost-
effective and less toxic alternatives to standard AEDs.
In addition, similar chemical compounds may be
developed as AEDs.
VINDPLAATS KLIK HIER The Chinese herb Tian Ma (Gastrodia elata) grows
symbiotically with Armillaria mellea and has recently
been found to share many of its therapeutic properties
with it, indeed its actions are considered to be related
to the metabolites of Armillaria mellea and in some
cases Armillaria mellea has been found to have a
stronger action on the body than Tian Ma itself.
VINDPLAATS KLIK HIER More importantly, the medicinal components of
gastrodia were found to be mainly the metabolites of
the Armellaria mushroom (3-9). In other words, if one
could grow the mushroom or just culture its mycelium,
the slow growing gastrodia tuber could be dispensed
with and one could use just the mushroom material or
the metabolites released into culture medium to get
the desired therapeutic effects. Batch fermentation of
Armellaria mycelia was easily accomplished: the
mycelia grow well in a simple sugar solution with just
a few basic nutrients. The mycelial material was
tested in the 1970s, and, as a result of more than 25
years of continual work by many research groups, the
mycelia or its culture medium is frequently used
instead of cultivated gastrodia. Dozens of
investigations have been undertaken to show that the
chemical constituents, pharmacology, and clinical
effects of Armellaria and its culture medium after
growing the mycelia, are indistinguishable from that of
the gastrodia tuber.

A NEW BOOK FROM GIOVANNI MACIOCIA
The Psyche in Chinese Medicine explores the
nature of the Mind (Shen), Ethereal Soul (Hun),
Corporeal Soul (Po), Intellect (Yi) and Will-Power (Zhi)
and then presents the diagnosis and treatment of the
most common psychological disorders with both
acupuncture and Chinese herbs in detail. Specific
chapters focus on the treatment of common
conditions including depression, anxiety, insomnia,
panic attacks, bipolar disorder and Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder. Each condition is illustrated
with case histories from the author's 35 years-long
practice

Het onregelmatig verschijnend magazine over
klinische toepassingen van paddenstoelen is bijna
gedrukt. De abonnees krijgen het dan weer
toegestuurd.
Maar de PDF is er al wel. Dus voor de nieuwsgierigen onder u ! Over de inhoud :
In this issue we find articles on the potential use of
mushroom nutrition in degenerative neurological
conditions, as well as an enzyme analysis conducted
by the University of Catania on Agaricus blazei,
Hericium erinaceus, Polyporus umbellatus and
Pleurotus ostreatus.
we review the results of a year long clinical trial
examining the effects of Coriolus versicolor
supplementation in patients with Human
Papillomavirus (HPV-LSIL) which was presented at
congress.
Dr. Jose Silva Couto and Dr. Daniel Pereira da Silva of
the Cervical Pathology Unit of the Portuguese Institute
of Oncology in Coimbra, Portugal presented their
findings at the 20th European Congress of Obstetrics
and Gynaecology, in Lisbon Portugal. This study
provides a promising set of results and demonstrates
proof-of concept for the question as to whether
immunonutrition supplements can be successfully
used to improve HPV status in patients.

J Ethnopharmacol. 2009 Aug 12;
Authors: Wang J, van der Heijden R, Spruit S, Hankermeier T, Chan K, van der Greef J, Xu G, Wang M Chinese herbal Medicines, often referred as Chinese
Materia Medica (CMM), are comprised of a complex
multicomponent nature. The activities are aimed at the
system level via interactions with a multitude of targets
in the human body. This review aims at the toxicity
aspects of CMM and its preparations at the different
steps of production; harvesting, processing and the
final formulation. The historic perspective and today's
issues of the safety of CMM are introduced briefly,
followed by the descriptions of the toxic CMM in the
current Chinese pharmacopoeia (2005).
Subsequently, several aspects of safety are illustrated
using a typical example of a toxic CMM, Aconitum
roots, and some recent findings of our own research
are included to illustrate that proper processing and
multi-herbs formulation can reduce the level of toxic
components. This also explains that in CMM, some
herbs, such as Aconitum, Ephedra species are never
used as single herb for intervention and that aconite is
only used when it is processed and in combination
with specific matched other herbs. The formulation
principle of multi-herbs intervention strategy is a
systems approach for the treatment and prevention of
disease. In this light, the role of systems toxicology in
the safety and quality of Chinese herbal medicine is
proposed as a promising method. Moreover the
principles of practiced-based and evidence-based
research are discussed from a symbiotic perspective.

Matkovic Z, Zivkovic V, Korica M, et al. Efficacy and
safety of Astragalus membranaceus in the treatment
of patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Phytother
Res. Jun 5, 2009: [Epub ahead of print].
The symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR)
include sneezing, runny nose, nasal passage
obstruction, watery eyes, and itchy nose, throat, and
eyes. The purpose of this randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled clinical trial was to assess the
efficacy of an "herbal-mineral complex" containing an
extract of astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) root
in the treatment of SAR. Astragalus is used in
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and research has
indicated that it stimulates the immune system.
