Growth hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and has various effects on metabolism and bone growth. It increases protein synthesis and breaks down lipids and spares carbohydrates. Growth hormone stimulates the liver to produce somatomedins, like IGF-1, which are responsible for much of growth hormone's long-term anabolic effects. Growth hormone secretion is stimulated by exercise, fasting, and sleep and inhibited by feeding to form part of a negative feedback loop regulating its levels.
#Disease cure in Naturopathy, # Theories in Nature cureShweta Mishra
This document provides an overview of disease and cure in the context of naturopathy. It discusses four basic theories of naturopathy: 1) unity of disease and unity of treatment, 2) foreign matter theory, 3) toxemia theory, and 4) Panchamahabhuta theory. For the unity of disease and treatment theory, it states that the primary causes of disease are violations of nature's laws, which lead to lowered vitality, abnormal blood/lymph composition, and toxin accumulation. The corresponding natural treatment methods are returning to nature, conserving vital force, and elimination. The foreign matter theory holds that improperly digested substances accumulate in organs and disrupt functioning. The toxemia theory defines toxemia as

Comparison between fermentation and inflammationAanchal Bansal
This document compares the processes of alcoholic fermentation and inflammation. It notes that both involve oxidation accompanied by increased chemical activity and temperature, and that when allowed to run their natural courses they result in beneficial outcomes. However, when arrested or suppressed, negative consequences can ensue. Both processes involve microorganisms acting upon substrates - yeast on sugar solutions in fermentation, and microzymes/bacteria on waste matter in inflammation. The document outlines the similarities between the stages of fermentation and inflammation. It concludes that suppressing either process can lead to chronic, destructive conditions if the natural elimination processes are inhibited.
This document discusses what iridology can and cannot show. Iridology can show where inflammation is located in the body, inherent organ weaknesses, toxicity levels, and preclinical stages of diseases. However, iridology cannot show specific test results, medications, surgical history, pregnancy status, tumor size, or presence of infectious diseases. The document outlines how iridology can analyze health levels and constitutional strengths and weaknesses to help determine areas of need for repair, detoxification, and building up immunity.
This document discusses the use of alcohol and drugs in the treatment of de-addiction. It outlines several mechanisms of action for how alcohol inhibits neuronal activity and ion channels in the brain.

This document provides an overview of testosterone, including its structure, secretion, effects, and mechanisms of action. Testosterone is the principal male sex hormone. It is secreted primarily by the testes in males and the ovaries in females. Testosterone promotes the development of male secondary sex characteristics, increases muscle and bone mass, and supports male sexual functions and spermatogenesis. It works primarily by binding to androgen receptors in cells or being aromatized into estradiol. Abnormalities in testosterone levels or signaling can result in various medical conditions.
Herbs to Boost Sex Power in Male Female Naturally | VVFIT.COMvvfitcom
This document discusses herbs and foods that can boost sex drive and optimize hormones. It states that a healthy libido reflects good hormonal balance, and issues like erectile dysfunction indicate a need to support the endocrine system. It recommends using natural herbs rather than synthetic supplements, as herbs can help balance hormones without disrupting the body's natural production. The document then lists and describes several sacred herbs that are proven to increase sex drive and rejuvenate hormones, including Mucuna Pruriens, Shilajit, colostrum, Tongkat Ali, pine pollen, orchic, and deer antler. It claims these herbs can help with issues like low desire and erectile dysfunction when taken properly.
The document summarizes a study that investigated the effects of Moringa oleifera leaf extract on sexual dysfunction in male rats. The study found that a single dose of the extract at 10 mg kg−1 increased mounting behavior, while 7 days of treatment at the same dose improved intromission. Treatment for 7 days at 250 mg kg−1 increased mounting. The extract did not affect testosterone but did inhibit monoamine oxidase B and phosphodiesterase-5 activities, suggesting it may enhance sexual function through these mechanisms. The study concluded M. oleifera may have potential as a sexual enhancer, especially for acute or short-term use, but more research is needed.
This document discusses a natural testosterone formula that contains several herbal extracts that support testosterone production and male and female sexual function. It contains Muira puama, horny goat weed, velvet bean extract, gokhru fruit extract, tongkat ali, and panax ginseng root extract. Each of these ingredients has been shown to increase testosterone levels, support the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, decrease cortisol levels, and improve sexual function and libido in both men and women. The formula aims to boost the body's natural testosterone production through these various herbal mechanisms.
Learning objectives of this presentation is for participants to be able to describe the "saturation point" concept of T effects on the body, delineate two ways of providing T replacement that also maintain fertility, and to provide a differential diagnosis of at least 5 conditions besides hypogonadism that result in low libdio or erectile dysfunction.

The goal is to preserve and extend one's jing, qi, and shen through balancing nutrition and reducing inflammation.
This document discusses managing menopause through Ayurveda. It begins by defining menopause and describing the physiological changes that occur, such as declining estrogen and progesterone levels. It then explains the Ayurvedic perspective, which views menopause as an imbalance of the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). Symptoms and recommended diets and lifestyles are provided for each dosha imbalance. Herbal supplements that can help, such as Shatavari, are also mentioned. The document emphasizes using lifestyle modifications and herbs rather than conventional hormone replacement therapy, and notes several health risks menopause can increase, such as depression and osteoporosis.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Aphrodisiacs: substances which are used to improve
sexual arousal, performance, or satisfaction, and/or to
treat sexual dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction:
Premature, retrograded, retarded or inhibited ejaculation,
Erectile Dysfunction (ED), Arousal difficulties
Compulsive Sexual Behaviour, Orgasmic Disorder, or failure of
Detumescence
4. History
Greek word “Aphrodisia”sexual pleasure
Usage dates back 1000’s of years: China, India, African
countries, Egypt, Rome and Greece
Ancient Rome: Casanova would eat 50 oysters at a time to boost
libido
Ancient Chinese and African cultures: would grind up Spanish
Flies and drink in a solution to enhance libido
Ancient Egyptian cultures: banned women from eating
chocolate to prevent mood stimulating properties

Substances including food, micronutirents, herbal supplements, or food constituents consumed for the purpose of improving sexual arousal, performance, satisfaction, or for the treatment of sexual dysfunction
Historically consumed to enhance successful procreation/obtaian sexually fulfillinf relationships
For example, zinc is secreted with each male ejaculation, therefore replenishing with high zinc sources such as oysters contribute to good sexual helathB vEach source responsible for different mechanisms that contribute to sexual arousal, performance, and/or stimulationRole in sex hormone production Zinc, possibly B vitaminsSmooth muscle relaxants (ie corpus callosum leading to erection) Zinc and Horney Goat WeedRole in spermatogenesis, and quality/functionality of sperm: ZincPsychostimulant effects: stimulate hypothalamus, can release serotonin, endorphins, dopamine, and norepinephrine Chocolateitamins involved in testosterone production
(2nd highest = 8.9mg in 3 oz of shank beef)Lack of research on oysters, but lots on znStudies show that infertile males have lower Zinc in their semen, therefore, increasing Zinc may be an effective aphrodisiac
Prostate secretes 35-40% of semen volume
Dopamine and adrenaline: autonomic nervous system
Cocoa and chocolate have been reported to exert several effects on human sexuality, acting mainly as an effective aphrodisiac, increasing sexual desire and improving sexual pleasurephenylethylamine, which has been reported to stimulate the hypothalamus, inducing pleasurable sensations as well as affecting the levels of two neurotransmitters – 5-hydroxytrytamine (serotonin) and endorphins in the brain – hence enhancing mood lifting and sexual drive.Participants in Group 1 had significantly higher total (P = 0.002) and desire domain (P = 0.01) FSFI scores than participants in Group 2. No differences between the two groups were observed concerning sexual arousal and satisfaction, sexual distress and depression
This was a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study. Thirty-eight women with major depression who were stabilized on fluoxetine 40 mg/day for a minimum of 6 weeks and had experienced subjective feeling of sexual dysfunction entered the study. The patients were randomly assigned to saffron (30 mg/daily) or placebo for 4 weeks. Measurement was performed at baseline, week 2, and week 4 using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Side effects were systematically recorded.At the end of the fourth week, patients in the saffron group had experienced significantly more improvement in total FSFI (p<0.001), arousal (p = 0.028), lubrication (p = 0.035), and pain (p = 0.016) domains of FSFI but not in desire (p = 0.196), satisfaction (p = 0.206), and orgasm (p = 0.354) domains. Frequency of side effects was similar between the two groups.

Maca:Lepidiummeyenii (Maca) is a cultivated root belonging to the brassica familyused in the Andean region for its supposed aphrodisiac properties. We carriedout a double-blind clinical trial on 50 Caucasian men affected by mild erectiledysfunction (ED), randomised to treatment with Maca dry extract, 2400 mg,or placebo. The treatment effect on ED and subjective well-being was testedadministrating before and after 12 weeks the International Index of ErectileFunction (IIEF-5) and the Satisfaction Profile (SAT-P). After 12 weeks of treatment, both Maca- and placebo-treated patients experienced a significantincrease in IIEF-5 score (P < 0.05 for both). However, patients taking Macaexperienced a more significant increase than those taking placebo (1.6 ± 1.1versus 0.5 ± 0.6, P < 0.001). Both Maca- and placebo-treated subjects experienced a significant improvement in psychological performance-related SAT-Pscore, but the Maca group higher than that of placebo group (+9 ± 6 versus+6 ± 5, P < 0.05). However, only Maca-treated patients experienced a signifi-cant improvement in physical and social performance-related SAT-P scorecompared with the baseline (+7 ± 6 and +7 ± 6, both P < 0.05). In conclusion, our data support a small but significant effect of Maca supplementationon subjective perception of general and sexual well-being in adult patients withmild ED.
