Moringa Treat Chikungunya and Alzeheimer

How Does Moringa Treat Chikungunya

 Makonde A word that comes from the Native Tanzania Language which means That which Bends up is an infection caused by the Chikungunya virus. It features the sudden onset of fever usually lasting two to seven days   joint pains typically lasting weeks or months but sometimes years. The mortality rate is a little less than 1 in 1000, with the elderly most likely to die

The virus is passed to humans by two species of mosquito of the genus Aedes  A Albopictus better know as the Asian Tiger Mosquito  and the Ades Egypti . Animal reservoirs of the virus include monkeys, birds, cattle, and rodents. This is in contrast to Dengue for which only primates are hosts.

The Incubation period of Chikungunya disease ranges from two to twelve days typically three to seven. Between 72 and 97% of those infected will develop symptoms. Symptoms include sudden onset sometimes biphasic fever typically lasting from a few days to a week, sometimes up to ten days, usually above 39 °C (102 °F) and sometimes reaching 41 °C (104 °F), and strong joint pain or stiffness usually lasting weeks or months but sometimes lasting years.                                                                          Rash usually maculopapular, muscle pain caused by Inflammation of the Joints, headache, fatigue, nausea or vomiting may also be present Inflammation of the eyes may present as Iridocyclitis, or Uveitis and retinal lesions may occur.

Typically, the fever lasts for two days and then ends abruptly. However, headache, insomia and an extreme degree of prostration last for a variable period, usually about five to seven days

In most cases, inflammation is the body’s response to another process rather than a disease or illness in its own right. Inflammation is a result of the body’s own natural immune response and is usually caused by the increased presence of plasma and white blood cells in the affected area. This response involves the vascular systems as well as the autoimmune response and is a necessary part of the healing process, but can cause serious problems when the inflammation become chronic or is extreme in its duration or extent. Inflammation is usually categorized as either acute or chronic and treatment for the condition is dependent in part on the cause of the inflammation and its acute or chronic status

In Some The Poorest Region in Africa Moringa was and is still used  to Treat and Cure the Chikungunya Disease. Moringa contains 39 Inflammatory and Antibiotics 46 Antioxidants  and  lot of Vitamins Minerals  Protein and Amino Acids to boost the immune system to fight of  Infection Diseases and Illnesses

The moringa plant is well known for its therapeutic effects in both modern medicine and traditional practice. Formally known as Moringa oleifera, this versatile and nutritious plant is currently the subject of intense scrutiny by the medical establishment to determine its utility in treating and preventing a variety of diseases. One of the most promising uses for Moringa extract is in the treatment of various types of acute and chronic inflammation. A 1996 research study published in Pharmaceutical Biology demonstrated the anti-inflammatory properties of Moringa extract in the treatment of both acute and chronic forms of inflammation. The Moringa extract was ingested by laboratory rats as a treatment for both edema and carrageenan-induced inflammation; while the results for the acute inflammation were markedly better than those obtained for the chronic variety, both types of inflammation were significantly reduced by the treatments in the course of the study. Side effects were minimal due to the exceptionally low toxicity of Moringa even at high dosage

Moringa extract supplements have been shown to reduce the level of inflammation in laboratory animals in both chronic and acute cases. Further studies are currently underway to assess the effectiveness of this treatment, but it can be safely assumed that a regular regimen of moringa supplements may produce safe, reliable reductions in inflammation for most individuals with chronic inflammatory diseases. Research found that the Moringa leaves contains substances that have antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities, in fact they found that it has high quantities of this substances. This means that Moringa Oleifera use in Indian traditional medicine as a treatment of ailments, particularly those related to pain and inflammation was just.

The effects of the  Moringa is suppressing the COX-2enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for inflammation processes and pain. Usually the drugs used to suppress this enzyme are NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs),such as Voltaren, Nksin, Adoil, ARCOXIA, Kaspo etc. The side effects of these products include risk for stroke, kidney problems, blood vessels problems, stomach problems and the list goes on. Combine the risks from the side effects with the existing condition causing the need to take the NSAID and the the presence of pain combined with an inflammatory issue, and the risk for medical complication grows

A study was conducted to test the Anti-Inflammatory activity of Moringa Oleifera based on 46 antioxidants and 36 anti-inflammatory compounds that all naturally are present in the Moringa plant.

The results showed that the crude extract of the dried Moringa seed, roots, and leaves each effectively reduced edema and demonstrated its powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

Prevention

There is no vaccine or drug to prevent or treat chikungunya.

The only way to prevent chikungunya is to avoid mosquito bites. Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day particularly around dawn and dusk as opposed to mosquitoes that transmit malaria, which bite at night between dusk and dawn

A good repellent containing N, N-diethylmetatoluamide DEET must be used on exposed skin, together with light cover-up clothing. If sunscreen is also being used, repellent must be applied after sunscreen. More information about insect bite avoidance is available from NaTHNaC

In endemic areas, control programs rely on the elimination of mosquito breeding sites in the community by regular inspections and insecticide spraying of properties (particularly during an outbreak) and the education of local residents to regularly empty standing water and keep outside areas free from waste items in which water may collect.

How Does Moringa Treat  and Prevent Alzeheimer

The Moringa Oleifera plant is highly regarded by dieticians and medical researchers and practitioners due to its superior nutritional content and numerous medical applications. The antioxidant properties of the Moringa plant have been well established by previous medical studies and are believed to provide protection against the effects of free radicals that can cause aging and other negative health effects. Recent studies suggest that Moringa leaves can also provide protection against the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and may even delay its onset

A form of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease is believed to have a genetic component but can strike even those with no family history of the disease. Most cases of Alzheimer’s occur in individuals over 65 years of age, but the disease can strike much earlier in cases of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. As in other types of dementia, the patient experiences confusion, loss of normal brain function, unpredictable or aggressive tendencies and a gradual deterioration of the mental capacities. This degeneration of the nervous system eventually leads to death. While the exact causes of Alzheimer’s disease are not well understood, research studies seem to indicate that the disease is related to the build-up of fibrous protein compounds within the brain known as amyloids. These amyloids present within the brain as plaques or neurofibrillary tangles and are thought to disrupt the normal functioning of neural impulses within the brain.

Because there is no known cure for Alzheimer’s disease, most treatments focus on delaying the progress of the disease and alleviating symptoms. Natural treatments including medical marijuana have produced impressive results in preventing continued degeneration. Other treatments focus on improving the emotional state of the patient and controlling any aggressive or violent tendencies that may occur due to the deteriorating mental condition

Lifestyle changes are often recommended in order to help delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. These include smoking cessation strategies, reduction of alcohol consumption and, especially, a reduction in fat intake. It is in the latter area that Moringa leaves have been shown to be most useful in delaying or preventing Alzheimer’s in vulnerable individuals. A study published in the Annals of Neurosciences in 2005 showed a significant improvement in brain function in rats whose diets were supplemented by Moringa leaves prior to their exposure to colchicine, a substance that mimics the action of Alzheimer’s in the brain.

 Despite the presence of this substance, rats retained much of their cognitive abilities and navigated a previously-completed maze far more accurately and quickly than the control group. These results were attributed to the antioxidant properties of Moringa leaves, which served to scavenge free radicals from the system and to protect neural function

Moringa leaves appear to delay or mitigate the effects of Alzheimer’s disease in laboratory rats due to the supplement’s antioxidant effects. The research indicates that Moringa supplements may lessen the impact of Alzheimer’s in individuals already suffering from the disease and may delay or prevent its onset in those who are at risk of developing this devastating illness. By incorporating Moringa leaf supplements into daily dietary plans, it is likely that most individuals can improve their chances of avoiding the worst effects of Alzheimer’s disease for themselves and their families.
