Guest guest Posted March 30, 2002 Report Share Posted March 30, 2002 One may wish to go over the first report ever(Chinese) of HIV-1 being held prisoner intracellularly. Thus, perhaps a link to doubling amounts of Astragali radix os. Then too, there is the compromised electrical imbalance in tumors: one may begin to view viruses as tumors themselves, even before metastasis, because the electrical imbalance is already there with viral infection due to phosphorylation pathways of viruses as they confiscate the cellular machinery(theft). In fact, NF-kappa B inhibitors directly address angiogenesis, as per COX-1 and COX-2 pathways, and Chinese bittersweet takes the stage at this point as well, occurring in the recent literature as an NF-kappa B inhibitor. One can therefore include Huang Qi as a paramount herb in helping to regulate and balance virally-compromised angiogenesis/inflammation as it regards transduction signals in the cell. Thus, if there is such a thing as an antiviral, Huang Qi is one of them, Chinese bittersweet is another. It is no longer surprising that the Western(four-color lithograpy) media pretty much ignored the first report(1993). Some of us did not. See also 'The Anxious Liver, The Angry Heart, and The Melancholy Spleen,' in the journal Psychiatry, Culture, and Medicine.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2002 Report Share Posted March 31, 2002 Astragalus as it relates to angiogenesis and hypertension, as well as Chinese bittersweet as it relates to tumors, virus and cancer. Transduction signal regulation in the cell. That is one reason why the four-herb formula worked in these AIDS patients: it prevented circulating virus, and this would also suggest a cell fusion-prevention mechanism as well, both from Astragalus and Chinese bittersweet. Thus, one may not wish to class Huang Qi under anti-hypertension just yet: it could be an antiviral. As far as is known, there are no published studies on the relationship of Astragalus in NF-kappaB pathways. Since the HBX protein from hepatitis B, for instance, directly and physically attaches to NF-kappaB, and angiotensin pathways implicate NF-kappaB, and Chinese bittersweet directly and physically attaches and prevents NF-kappaB expression thus acting as an anti-inflammatory agent, one would ask its role in hypertension. While not having checked the literature, there may be something for Astragalus. No doubt the Astragalus in the first Chinese report of HIV-1 arrest in the cell was also calming the patients. Thoughts also make molecules. This has been proven. Deepak Chopra is correct. The neuropeptides produced from thought trigger transduction cascades that directly address the problem of anxiety, stress, and inflammation, and they do this physically. What inflammation would not make one feel anxious? And these eight patients were aboriginal darks, Tanzanians! The people working on this case barely had enough money to preform simple ELISA tests. Beautiful work, hardly any funding. That makes sense to me.
