Moringa-Moringa Aleifera the miracle herb
The moringa tree otherwise called the ”miracle tree” is truly nature’ miracle.This tree actually purifies water (this is used in Haiti and some parts of Africa).For centuries, the natives of Northern India and many parts of Africa have known about the many benefits of Moringa Oleifera, and now this little-known tree is making headlines in the Western World. Moringa translates to mean “miracle”. Packed with over 90 nutrients and 46 antioxidants, this plant is being hailed as the “nutritional dynamite of the century.”
Moringa is a plantfood of high nutritional value, ecologically and economically beneficial and readily available in the countries hardest hit by the food crisis. http://miracletrees.org/ http://moringatrees.org/

In some regions, the young seed pods are most commonly eaten, while in others, the leaves are the most commonly used part of the plant. The flowers are edible when cooked and are said to taste like mushrooms. The bark, sap, roots, leaves, seeds, oil, and flowers are used in traditional medicine in several countries. In Jamaica, the sap is used for a blue dye. The immature seed pods, called "drumsticks", are commonly consumed in South Asia. They are prepared by parboiling, and cooked in a sauce until soft. The seed pods are particularly high in vitamin C. The leaves are the most nutritious part of the plant, being a significant source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, provitamin A as beta-carotene, magnesium and protein, among other nutrients reported by the USDA. When compared with common foods particularly high in certain nutrients, fresh moringa leaves are considerable sources of these same nutrients.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Slide &lt;number&gt;:
These tiny little leaves have the potential to save the lives of millions of people on our planet. What kind of leaves are they?
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
They are the leaves of the humble Moringa tree. The scientific name for this tree is Moringa oleifera.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
It is said that the Moringa tree originated in Northern India. Records show Moringa being used in Indian medicine some 5,000 years ago.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
As Moringa spread from India to other tropical and subtropical areas, it adapted to local conditions. Over time, these thirteen distinct species of Moringa developed.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
In ancient times, Moringa was known and used in traditional societies around the world. This was long before people had the tools of instant communication that we have today. So people must have discovered Moringa independently in all of these places, and they all found great value in it. This fact alone suggests that Moringa is worth investigating.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
People in these societies discovered a vast array of uses for Moringa. This knowledge existed in many different parts of the world—Africa, Latin America, South America, India, Indonesia, and many island nations.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Today, scientists are beginning to investigate the traditional claims about Moringa. Let’s take a look at what they have found.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
One aspect that scientists have examined is the nutritional value of Moringa leaves.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Nutritional analysis has shown that Moringa leaves are extremely nutritious. In fact, they contain larger amounts of several important nutrients than the common foods often associated with these nutrients. These include vitamin C, which fights a host of illnesses including colds and flu; vitamin A, which acts as a shield against eye disease, skin disease, heart ailments, diarrhea, and many other diseases; Calcium, which builds strong bones and teeth and helps prevent osteoporosis; Potassium, which is essential for the functioning of the brain and nerves, and Proteins, the basic building blocks of all our body cells.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Not only that, but Moringa leaves also contain a wealth of other complementary vitamins and minerals.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Another important point is that Moringa leaves contain all of the essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. It is very rare for a vegetable to contain all of these amino acids. And Moringa contains these amino acids in a good proportion, so that they are very useful to our bodies. These leaves could be a great boon to people who do not get protein from meat.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
It is noteworthy that Moringa contains argenine and histidine, which are especially important for infants who are unable to make enough protein for their growth requirements. Experts tell us that 30% of children in sub-Saharan Africa are protein deficient. Moringa could be an extremely valuable food source.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
These graphs show the content of vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium in fresh Moringa leaves and dried leaves, compared to common foods. Except for vitamin C, very little nutritional value is lost in the drying process. This is important because dried leaves can be stored for use much longer than fresh leaves, so that a supply is available year-round.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Here are the comparisons for iron, potassium, and protein in fresh Moringa leaves and dried leaves. Once again, we see how drying the leaves condenses the nutrients, so that a large dose of nutrition can be gained from a small spoonful of dried leaf powder.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
We are all well familiar with the problems of malnutrition in our world, and how much suffering and death result. Here are the countries with the highest rates of malnutrition. The amazing thing about Moringa is that . . .
[Advance forward]
. . . it grows in almost exactly the same places. These are the countries where Moringa grows—exactly where it is needed the most.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Not only are the leaves highly nutritious, but every single part of the Moringa tree has been used for beneficial purposes. Here again is the list of all the many specific uses people have found for Moringa.
[When the words “Consider the Possibilites” appear:]
It’s time that we seriously consider the possibilities that Moringa holds for benefiting our world.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Moringa holds tremendous potential for serving the world in several ways . . .
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
They include: improvement of Human Health; use as a Livestock Fodder supplement; use as a Plant Growth Enhancer; and for production of Biogas.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
One of the main uses of Moringa leaves is for their nutritional benefits in human health.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
In 1997 to 1998, a test was conducted in Senegal to examine the ability of Moringa leaf powder to prevent or cure malnutrition in pregnant or breast-feeding women and their children. This test was a collaboration between Church World Service, whose Senegal representative was well-known Moringa expert Mr. Lowell Fuglie, and the Senegalese organization Alternative Action for African Development (AGADA).
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
This test found the following effects to be common among subjects taking Moringa leaf powder:
Children maintained or increased their weight and improved overall health.
[Advance forward]
and Pregnant women recovered from anemia and had babies with higher birth weights.
This test is now being duplicated and expanded in Ghana. Further tests are needed in other countries as well.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Some of the most ground-breaking research on new uses of Moringa has taken place in Nicaragua.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Mr. Nikolaus Foidl and his associate, Leonardo Mayorga, have been researching agricultural uses of Moringa in Nicaragua since the early 1990s. They have collaborated with the University of Hohenheim, Germany and with Dr. Michael Kreuzer of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Dr. Nadir Reyes Sanchez is a scientist on the faculty of the Department of Animal Nutrition and Management at the Swedish University of Agriculture Sciences in Uppsala, Sweden. He is also on the faculty of Animal Sciences at the National University of Agriculture in Managua, Nicaragua.
Dr. Reyes has also been conducting Moringa research in Nicaragua, and is shown here on his Moringa plantation.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Some people may wonder how a tree can supply nutrition for a large number of people. Both Foidl and Reyes have experimented with growing Moringa intensively, as a field crop.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Normally, Moringa grows in the typical form of a tree, like this . . .
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
. . . or like this . . .
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
. . . or like this.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
But Foidl and Reyes have shown that Moringa trees can also be planted very close together as a field crop, at a spacing as close as ten to fifteen centimeters.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
The moringa plants then grow as a field crop, and can be harvested frequently. This technique produces a large amount of usable green matter from a relatively small amount of space.
Dr. Reyes has grown Moringa intensively with no irrigation and small amounts of fertilizer. He was able to harvest the leaves every 75 days—four crops in a year. He got a total of 100 tons of green matter per hectare the first year, and 57 tons per hectare the second year.
Mr. Foidl irrigated his Moringa plantation and used larger amounts of fertilizer. He reported harvesting every 35 days—nine crops per year—with a total yield of 650 to 700 tons of green matter per hectare. He says this yield has been consistent from the same plants for seven years.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Using this technique of intensive cultivation, plots of Moringa are planted on a rotation schedule, so that there is an ongoing supply of green matter. The plants are harvested 8 to 10 inches above the base, and all of the leaves and green shoots can be used. The green tops grow back in 35 to 75 days, and are ready to be harvested again.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Both Foidl and Reyes have also experimented with using Moringa leaves and green shoots as a supplement in livestock fodder.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Mr. Foidl found that adding Moringa leaves to cattle feed increased their daily weight gain by up to 32 percent.
[Advance forward]
Both Foidl and Reyes also experimented with Moringa and milk cows. Foidl supplemented with 15 to 17 kilograms of fresh Moringa leaves daily, and the cattle’s milk production increased by 43 percent.
Reyes supplemented his milk cows’ feed with 2 kg dry matter of Moringa per day, and milk production increased by 58 percent. Then he supplemented with 3 kg dry matter per day, and milk production increased by 65 percent.
Imagine what would be possible if milk production in developing countries could be increased in this way. It could prevent untold suffering of people with protein deficiency.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Mr. Foidl has also experimented with a plant growth spray made from the green matter of Moringa.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
The process of making the Moringa plant growth spray is relatively simple, and can be done with whatever equipment is available for extracting juice from the green matter and applying the spray to plants.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Here the spray is being applied to sugarcane. Foidl has also found the spray to be effective with soybeans, corn, turnips, black beans, red beans, white beans, cow peas, bell peppers, chia, sunflowers, mung beans, onions, coffee, tea, chili peppers, melons and sorghum.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Foidl is now experimening with this plant growth spray on large 25-hectare plots of vegetable crops.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
The spray can be applied to individual plants on a small scale, or, where equipment is available, it can be done on a very large scale.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Foidl has found that this spray has a wide range of beneficial effects on plant crops. If even a fraction of these results could be reproduced in the field, it could be a great help in increasing food supplies for millions of hungry people.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Here you can see the effects of the Moringa plant growth spray on bell peppers. These are average sizes of peppers grown with spray applied, and in the control group that did not get sprayed.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
The spray even stimulates the growth of the plant’s roots. Here we see a comparison of roots from sugarcane plants that received the spray with roots from the plants in the control group, which did not receive the spray.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Here is the difference in average sizes of seed heads from sorghum plants grown with spray applied, and from the control group that did not receive spray.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
The plant growth spray can be freeze-dried and stored for later use. Here are some typical sizes of turnips grown with freeze-dried spray, from the control group without spray, and with fresh spray. The freeze-dried spray also increases the size of the turnips, only slightly less than the fresh spray.

Foidl and his associates have also experimented with producing biogas (methane) from Moringa green matter.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
Based on his experiments, Foidl estimates that more than 4,400 cubic meters of methane could be produced per hectare of Moringa per year. That is up to twice as much methane as can be produced per hectare per year from sugar beet leaves, a common plant material for biogas. Further experiments are needed to examine this potential use of Moringa.
Slide &lt;number&gt;:
These and other uses of Moringa leaves show great potential for benefitting people—especially those who suffer from poverty and malnutrition. Further scientific studies are needed to examine these uses and their benefits, and to determine the techniques that will produce the greatest benefits.
We would suggest studies in these four areas: human nutrition and medicinal uses, livestock fodder, crop enhancement with the plant growth spray, and production of biogas.
The information just presented comes from the research of only a few scientists. Now these tests need to be replicated by many more people around the world.
