B6: The Study of Herbs with Bio-technology

Let Biotechnology to Enhance The Effect of Natural Herbs Technology

1. The Bottleneck of Popularizing Chinese Medicine

Chinese medicine has been used in the human body for more than two or three thousand years. Its effect is definite. But, so far, Chinese medicine in Taiwan medical market takes only about 4-5%. That might mean that there are lots of people don't trust the effect of Chinese medicine. More of this, some Chinese medicine doctors use chemical drugs to promote its effect. The reason is, we think, there are some difficulties to popularize Chinese medicine. For example...

• • The descriptions of Chinese medicine textbooks are not scientific. Such as, the description for the effect of herb...to treat "full gas and inverse power"... to treat "hot bone affect corpse, typhoid hot spot poison, feel depression and polydipsia." These are hard to teach the next generations for so incomprehensible manner described. The usage of herbs is hardly accurately controlled, so that, it is more difficult to cultivate good Chinese medicine physicians. 

  • Doctors considered that the patient has his own particular body constitution. They need to treat diseases by differentiation of symptoms very carefully. So, the patient needs lots of experienced Chinese medicine doctors.  

  • When the patient with bad body constitution, the disease will be complicated and changeable. If the effect of herbs is gentle and moderate, then, the achievement of "treatment diseases by differentiation of symptoms" will be hardly estimated.

How to overcome this bottleneck...? We suppose that...

• • When the patient can handle the change of his own body constitution, then, the treatment by Chinese doctor will reduce the difficulty and promote the accuracy. 

  • When herbs with bio-tech., their effect will be obviously promoted.

2. Promote Herbs' Effects by Bio-tech. 

Biotechnology has been used for the improvement of medicinal plants for more than ten years. They might roughly divide into four directions, schematic example as follows :

• 1. Improve the planting soil ecosystem to enhance the efficacy ingredients.

  2. Prevent disease, increase production, improve quality, and reduce the use of pesticides can continue research to gradually replace pesticides.

  3. Plant extracts with new technologies might promote the medicinal effect to 100, or 1,000 times.

  4. It may coordinate with the use of food-grade plant extracts, or, as the health food supplements for intestinal flora.

3. Help Achieve the Efficacy of Conversion

The decoction, they are boiled by a variety of medicinal plants, might contain some organic matters which are less digestive and transformative groups for our digestive tract and intestinal flora. And, the patient of aging or chronic may have poor intestinal flora. They may not properly convert these organic matters and get the efficacy they needed. The efficacy described in Chinese medicine textbooks may not achieve. Then, the chronic diseases might be not cured.

For the purpose of helping intestinal mucosa to get the efficacy, the herb can be pre-treated by bio-tech. So, the patient might get the efficacy as soon as possible and just as the doctor predicted. Then, the health of mankind might have a revolutionary benefit.

4. Reinterpretation and Usage of Adjuvant Herbs

In the past decade, the study of herbs with bio-tech. has found that the assistant and guide grade herbs, in prescriptions, play an important key to the efficacy. Such as, for the collocation of herbs in Chinese medicine prescriptions, ginger and jujube are as an assistant, licorice is as a guide. The purpose of such use is that ginger helps defense Qi sweating, Jujube tonic Qi and blood to prevent more injuries antiperspirant Ying, they have the effectiveness to promote the capacity of defense Qi and Ying Qi. ... Ginger can tonic digestive system and make the sweet of Jujube interfere stomach Qi. Jujube can benefit Spleen Qi, and ease the irritation of ginger. Licorice concord various drugs, so as not to contend, so there was called a nation's old and important chancellor. these abstract interpretation is difficult to understand, and hard to experience heritage. Through biotechnology research, they found that:

• 1. Licorice and red dates in a formulation, the rate of drug absorption in the gut will promote 3-5 times.

  2. Licorice and red dates for topical creams can also enhance the skin 1 to 2 times penetration ratio.

5. Activating Enzyme and Efficacy of Conversion May Accelerate and Promote The Effectiveness x Times

The herbs, act as assistant or guide role in prescription, contain plenty of polysaccharides and invertase that may help our gut to tame the good intestinal flora. So that, they can help the absorption of herbs' efficacy. Those, who took the herbs and absorb quickly, may feel the effectiveness of improvement of body constitution, and in general, won't feel Reverse Reaction.  

Our bodies can absorb bio-tech. herbal extracts to improve the physical effect, in general, that needs through these techniques of biotechnology...

• • The technology of mucosa absorption

  • The technology of fermentation with lactic acid bacteria

  • Improve the intestinal environment, and let good intestine flora play beneficial function

  • Decreasing or elimination the side effect of drugs

  • Accelerating the ability of absorption and achieve efficacy rapidly.

6. The New Realm of Chinese Medicine

The sciencification of Chinese medicine and Bio-technology of Chinese medicine will achieve the following 5 advantages.

• 1. Low quantity needed.

  2. Good effectiveness.

  3. Quick efficacy.

  4. Good taste.

  5. Almost no side effects for long-term use.

The new realm of Chinese medicine means that...

After the sciencification of Chinese medicine, doctors still continue to research the advantages of Western medicine. Using empirical methods and combined with traditional Chinese medicine science, the Chinese medicine doctor has to reach diagnostic accuracy, precisely using prescription, and quickly achieve efficacy. Chinese medicine practitioners need to do extensive research, regardless of Western medicine or Eastern medicine. And they should pay particular attention to diabetes, aging diseases, and allergic diseases. The aim is that improve the bad body constitution, repair damaged body constitution, and restore his health. Furthermore, we need to guide the people to resist aging, prevent disease, achieve superior treat before sick. So that, the herb medicine will be accepted by the medical market, becomes mainstream medicine and benefits to mankind. 

More detailed discussion please refer to "Decipherment of The Body Constitution of Difficult and Complicated Diseases" chapter 03.

With Bio-Technology and the findings of body constitution, how the herb medicine treat chronic illnesses? First of all, let's concentrate on diabetes mellitus.
