HemoHIM+ - An Assessment After Six Months of Intake

HemoHIM+ - An Assessment After Six Month of Intake

By: Dr. Francisco C. Tang  a.k.a.  Dr. Huang Nung Yang

Here is my assessment six (6) months after taking HemoHIM+ during and after my chemotherapy.

On the brighter side, I travel a lot now, have little diet restrictions, on regular daily mild exercises and I feel no post chemotherapy effect. My hair has grown back, my zapped energy has revitalized, my diet is back, my weight has slowly gained from 70 kgs.to 77 kgs. now, my atrial fibrillation has been relieved since after my ablation and most important, I continue to take my health food supplement, as well as my whole family  -  HemoHIM+, a Korean food supplement discovered  by the Korean Atomic Research Institute (KAERI), developed and produced in cooperation with Kolmar Company and distributed under licensed by Sun Biotech Industries. It had passed the strict safety regulation, certified and approved by US FDA, and Korean FDA with pending certification and approval from Health Canada (Canadian FDA).

It HELPED me boost my immune system, provides physical stamina, lowers my blood pressure, stabilizes my blood sugar.

My wife and my children are also taking HemoHIM+, one sachet daily enough to provide them with stamina for the whole day.

My son in law is also taking it now and his blood pressure has been stabilized from 160/100 even with anti-hypertensive drugs to 130/90 now with medicine.

A friend of us, who is a CEO from a multi-national company in Hong Kong came to visit us one time and we convinced him the health benefit of HemoHIM+ and he initially brought back 8 boxes to Hong Kong for his personal and friends and colleagues consumption. He found out the detoxifying effect of HemoHIM+ - his bowel movement became normal and it was greenish in color and never felt much better, energized and revitalized and after 2 months he called us for another 28 boxes  to be handed out to his relatives in US, Australia and in the Philippines.

A relative of my daughter's friend in the Philippines, had terminal cancer and was very weak and can't take in food. After taking 4 boxes of HemoHIM+, he regained some strength and able to eat, so her friend ordered another 4 boxes.

These are just some of the testimonies I gathered and will update you for more.    
It is safe for public consumption and highly recommended for patients undergoing chemotherapy, over-stressed workers, athletes, students and senior citizens as well as, patients with high blood pressure and diabetes. It worked in me, in my family and friends, I hope it will also work in you. Try it, nothing to lose. 


A Lymphoma Survivor - Six Months After Chemotherapy

A Lymphoma Survivor - Six Months After Chemotherapy

By: Dr. Francisco C. Tang  a.k.a. Dr. Huang Nung Yang

HE is truly an amazing, loving, merciful and a compassionate GOD. Six months after my last and final chemotherapy, I have diligently followed my monthly follow up and all my blood examinations - WBC, RBC, Hgb, platelet counts are up, LDH, BUN, Creatinine, LFT, FBS and HbA1c are all with in normal limits. I am in complete remission now and I am still praying and hoping for a full and complete recovery. I know with GOD, everything is possible. Praise the LORD! In Jesus name, Amen!

Now, I find time with GOD, placed Jesus into the center of my life and accepted HIM as my LORD and Savior, spending happy quality time with my family, playing with my grandchildren,  visiting old friends and classmates, attending  CCF Sunday church services,  joining CCF small Bible Study Dgroup and even attending meaningful, educational and informative seminars - Unleash International, listening and watching The 700 Club Asia, thus, meeting new friends and new family as a result. All of these have touched and transformed my life into a meaningful Christian. I learned to value life knowing I am living on a borrowed time, and  I wish to let all cancer patients know that there is hope and life beyond cancer as long as we have FAITH. Matthew 21:22 "Whatever you ask for in prayer with FAITH, you will receive."

Atrial Flutter and Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial Flutter and Atrial Fibrillation
                     Compiled By: Dr. Francisco C. Tang  a.k.a  Dr. Huang Nung Yang

What is Atrial Flutter?

    Atrial flutter (AFL) is a common abnormal heart rhythm, similar to atrial fibrillation, the most common abnormal heart rhythm. Both conditions are types of supraventricular (above the ventricles) tachycardia (rapid heart beat). In AFL, the upper chambers (atria) of the heart beat too fast, which results in atrial muscle contractions that are faster than and out of sync with the lower chambers (ventricles).
Atrial FlutterClick the image to view an animation on Atrial Flutter


The electrical system of the heart is the power source that makes the heart beat. Electrical impulses travel along a pathway in the heart and make the upper and lower chambers of the heart (atria and the ventricles) work together to pump blood through the heart.

A normal heartbeat begins as a single electrical impulse that comes from the sinoatrial (SA) node, a small bundle of tissue located in the right atrium. The impulse sends out an electrical pulse that causes the atria to contract (squeeze) and move blood into the lower ventricles. The electrical current passes through the atrioventricular (AV) node (the electrical bridge between the upper and lower chambers of the heart), causing the ventricles to squeeze and release in a steady, rhythmic sequence. As the chambers squeeze and release, they draw blood into the heart and push it back out to the rest of the body. This is what causes the pulse we feel on our wrist or neck.
With AFL, the electrical signal travels along a pathway within the right atrium. It moves in an organized circular motion, or "circuit," causing the atria to beat faster than the ventricles of your heart.
AFL is a heart rhythm disorder that is similar to the more common A Fib. In AFib, the heart beats fast and in no regular pattern or rhythm. With AFL, the heart beats fast, but in a regular pattern. The fast, but regular pattern of AFL is what makes it special. AFL makes a very distinct "sawtooth" pattern on an electrocardiogram (ECG), a test used to diagnose abnormal heart rhythms.



What is Atrial Fibrillation?



      Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common abnormal heart rhythm. In a normal heart, the four chambers of the heart beat in a steady, rhythmic pattern. With AFib, the atria (upper chambers of the heart) fibrillate (quiver or twitch quickly) and create an irregular rhythm.
Atrial FibrillationClick the image to view an animation on Atrial Fibrillation 
This irregular heart rhythm can lead to symptoms that negatively impact the quality of life in some people. Others experience nosymptoms at all. AFib itself is not life threatening. If left untreated, however, the side effects of AFib can be life threatening, leading to stroke or heart failure. This makes identifying and treating AFib so important.

What is Atrial Fibrillation?

A normal heartbeat begins as a single electrical impulse that comes from the atria. The impulse sends out an electrical pulse that causes the atria to contract (squeeze) and move blood into the lower ventricles. The electrical current then passes through the AV node (the electrical bridge between the upper and lower chambers of the heart), causing the ventricles to contract and relax in a steady, rhythmic sequence. This results in blood being drawn into the heart and pushed back out to the rest of the body.
When AFib occurs, the electrical impulse does not follow this order. Instead of one impulse moving through the heart, many impulses begin in the atria and fight to get through the AV node. This happens for two reasons:


  • First, the structure of the heart and its electrical pathway may change over time. This happens more often as we get older.
  • Second, as the electrical pathway changes, one or more “triggers” may develop. “Triggers” are electrical circuits that send extra impulses at a faster than usual rate.
These extra impulses are all trying to get through the AV node and the atria begin to fibrillate, quiver or twitch, in a fast and disorganized way.










Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation


If medicine is not effective or not tolerated for atrial fibrillation, a nonsurgical procedure called catheter ablation may be chosen. Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is relatively new and is still being studied.
In this procedure thin, flexible wires are inserted into a vein in the groin and threaded up through the vein and into the heart. There is an electrode at the tip of the wires. The electrode sends out radio waves that create heat. This heat destroys the heart tissue that causes atrial fibrillation or the heart tissue that keeps it happening. Another option is to use freezing cold to destroy the heart tissue.

Recommended Related to Atrial Fibrillation

The heart has four areas, or chambers. During each heartbeat, the two upper chambers (atria) contract, followed by the two lower chambers (ventricles). This is directed by the heart's electrical system. The electrical impulse begins in an area called the sinus node, located in the right atrium. When the sinus node fires, an impulse of electrical activity spreads through the right and left atria, causing them to contract, forcing blood into the ventricles. Then the electrical impulses travel in...
Ablation procedures either try to cure atrial fibrillation (focal ablation, circumferential ablation, and pulmonary vein ablation) or try to control your symptoms (nodal ablation).
 Heart Problems: Should I Have Catheter Ablation?

Ablation to cure atrial fibrillation

Focal and circumferential catheter ablation are used to try to cure atrial fibrillation. Focal ablation, also known as targeted ablation, is used to destroy the specific areas in the heart that are firing off abnormal electrical impulses and causing atrial fibrillation. Circumferential ablation is used to destroy the tissue that lets atrial fibrillation continue. Sometimes, a doctor uses both focal and circumferential ablation.
Pulmonary vein ablation is also used to try to cure atrial fibrillation. Sometimes, abnormal impulses come from inside a pulmonary vein and cause atrial fibrillation. (The pulmonary veins bring blood back from the lungs to the heart.) Catheter ablation in a pulmonary vein can block these impulses and keep atrial fibrillation from happening.
A pacemaker is usually not needed when catheter ablation is done on the pulmonary vein or other targeted tissue.
View a slideshow of pulmonary vein or focal ablation pop out to see how the heart's electrical system works, how atrial fibrillation happens, and how pulmonary vein or focal ablation is performed.
In some cases, catheter ablation may be done by applying radiofrequency energy to the outside or inside surface of the heart during open-heart surgery. This may be an option if you are already having heart surgery for another reason, such as coronary artery bypass or valve replacement surgery.

Ablation to control symptoms of atrial fibrillation

Nodal catheter ablation, also known as AV node ablation, can control symptoms of atrial fibrillation when the cause cannot be stopped. You may need AV node ablation if targeted or pulmonary vein ablation did not stop your atrial fibrillation, or if these procedures will not help you. With AV node ablation, the entire atrioventricular (AV) node is destroyed. After the AV node is destroyed, it can no longer send impulses to the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles). This controls atrial fibrillation symptoms.
After AV node ablation, a permanent pacemaker is needed to regulate your heart rhythm. Nodal ablation can control your heart rate and reduce your symptoms, but it does not prevent or cure atrial fibrillation. So you will probably need to take anticoagulation therapy such as warfarin.
View a slideshow of AV node ablation pop out to see how the heart's electrical system works, how atrial fibrillation happens, and how AV node ablation is performed.
You will be given medicine to help you relax. A local anesthetic will numb the site where the catheter is inserted. The procedure is done in a hospital where you can be watched carefully.

What To Expect After Treatment


Recovery from catheter ablation is usually quick. You may be hospitalized for 1 to 2 days so that your doctor can monitor your heart rate.
Many people think that having ablation means they'll be able to stop taking an anticoagulant (also called a blood thinner), such as warfarin, every day to prevent stroke. But that is only true if your risk of stroke is low. Studies haven't shown that ablation for atrial fibrillation lowers your risk of stroke. So you'll still need to take an anticoagulant if your risk of stroke remains high. Your doctor can tell you about your stroke risk. See the:
Interactive Tool: What Is Your Risk for a Stroke if You Have Atrial Fibrillation? 
After an ablation, you might take an antiarrhythmic medicine to help keep your heart in a normal rhythm.
You might feel a flutter in your heart after the ablation procedure. The flutter usually goes away after your heart heals. If your flutter does not go away, you may need a second ablation procedure.

Why It Is Done


Ablation might be done if you have symptoms of atrial fibrillation that won't go away, if your medicine hasn't brought back a normal heartbeat, or if your medicine causes side effects that are hard to live with.
This treatment does have some serious risks, but they are rare. Many people decide to have ablation because they hope to feel much better afterward, and that hope is worth the risks to them. But the risks may not be worth it for people who have few symptoms or for those who are less likely to be helped by ablation.

How Well It Works


Catheter ablation is more successful in people who have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes (paroxysmal) than in people who have atrial fibrillation that is persistent or chronic (constant).
  • Research shows that ablation helps 80 out of 100 people who have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes (paroxysmal). That means it does not help in 20 out of 100 cases.1
  • Ablation works for about 60 out of 100 people who have persistent or chronic (constant) atrial fibrillation. That means it doesn't work in 40 out of 100 cases.1
If the first procedure does not get rid of atrial fibrillation completely, catheter ablation may need to be done a second time. Repeated catheter ablations have a higher chance of being successful.
Catheter ablation is still being studied to see how well it works and how safe it is in the long term.

Risks


Catheter ablation is thought to be safe. It has some serious risks, but they are rare. They include:
  • Stroke.
  • Heart attack.
  • Puncture of the heart.
  • Need for emergency heart surgery.
  • Problems with the pulmonary vein.
  • A leaking blood vessel.
  • Nerve damage that causes paralysis of the diaphragm.
  • Pericarditis.
  • Cardiac tamponade.
  • Atrio-esophageal fistula. In this life-threatening condition, a hole forms between the heart's upper chamber and the esophagus.
  • Bleeding.
  • New heart rhythm problems.
  • Death (very rare).












     

There's Life and Hope Beyond Cancer

There's Life and Hope Beyond Cancer
                                                  (My Life After Chemotherapy)
By Dr. Francisco C. Tang  a.k.a.  Dr. Huang Nung Yang

          Ever since after my 6th and final cycle of chemotherapy last Feb. 15, 2013, I have been traveling often to see places I've never been before, no more wearing of mask but I still avoid crowded places, no more diet restriction but I still maintain my healthy diet by avoiding fatty, salty, spicy and high carbohydrate diets, I continue to take my health food supplement - HemoHIM+ to boost my immune system, to provide me with stamina, and to maintain and stabilize my blood sugar, I continue my daily exercise by brisk walking for 30 minutes twice daily, I avoid stress and sleeping late, I enjoy my time with my grandchildren, with my family and with friends.

I used to have arrhythmia-PVC's and APC's in the past, even before I was stricken with Lymphoma but during and after my chemotherapy, they were converted into atrial fibrillations and during the whole month of April, in spite of taking my regular anti-arrhythmic medications, I experienced severe cytotoxic-induced atrial fibrillation that made me unable to sleep on my back, and instead, I have to sleep in a semi-reclining position, I have to take deep breaths to catch my breath with so much discomfort.  Upon consultation with my Cardiologist on May 8, he suggested RFCA (radiofrequency catheter ablation-burning the multi-foci of electrical stimuli in my heart) as a last resort. On May 17 I had the procedure done and it was a success. I never felt any better in years and immediately, my irregular heart beats reverted back to normal.   

Last May 20, I went to see my Oncologist and had a repeat PET scan. The finding was still negative but my he told me,  I must have a monthly regular periodic follow up for up to 2-3 years to make sure I will have a complete remission, although, I was cautioned that the possibility of recurrence remained high and must always be on the look out for any unusual or for any recurring signs and symptoms.

I have never been closer to GOD now.  I'm thankful, I was given, not only, a second but a third life and I learned how to value life ever since.  I promise to be GOD's instrument to share my testimony of HIS healing power to all. I want every one to know that there is life and hope beyond cancer as long as we open the door of our hearts and invite Jesus into our lives to accept HIM as our LORD and only Savior, that with GOD, everything is possible and whatever we ask in prayer, with faith, we shall receive.

At Last, I Am Cancer-Free Now

                        At Last, I Am Cancer-Free Now

        By: Francisco C. Tang,MD  a.k.a.  Huang Nung Yang,MD


Three weeks after my 6th and final chemo last February 14, 2013, I never experienced any untoward ill-effect in my post chemotherapy period which I normally did in my 5 previous  chemo necessitating hospitalizations with critical condition on two occasions because of fever, cytotoxic-induced neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, aggravated by atrial flutters and fibrillations leading to septic shock.   

I went to see my Oncologist last March 7 for my first follow up. I was told that I have a complete remission from my stage 4b Lymphoma but cautioned me that there's is still a possibility,  it will recur since my Lymphoma was a fast growing beta-cell Follicular Lymphoma.  I need to have monthly follow-up for two years with monthly flushing of my Porta-cath, imbedded in my left chest,  with normo-saline solution (NSS)  and Heparin to prevent clogging.  I was also told I can now travel,  no more food restrictions and no need to wear my mask anymore which I wore for almost 6 months during the course of my chemotherapy.

To all who are suffering from Lymphoma, be initial or terminal stage,  or any cancers, remember,  DO NOT LOSE HOPE.  HAVE FAITH IN GOD.  " Whatever you asked for in prayer, with FAITH, you will received." Matthew 21:22.   " Do not be impatient for the LORD to act! Travel steadily along HIS path. HE will honor you, giving what you ask for. You will see the wicked destroyed."  Psalm 37:34.  "With GOD everything is possible."  Matthew 19:26.   Open the door of your heart and invite Jesus into your life and accept HIM as your LORD and SAVIOR. Amen!

This is a must to do : Think positive,  stay away from crowded places,  always wear mask,  constant brisk walking exercise twice daily for 30 minutes,  adequate and good nutrition,  good oral hygiene (L-Glutamine and Chlorhexidine),  adequate rest and sleep and DO NOT FORGET to take health food supplements and vitamins to  help boost your immune system, to increase vigor and vitality and increase resistance to stress and fatigue. Take HemoHIM+, two sachets daily and these will be enough to keep you healthy and free from the dreaded side effects of chemotherapy.   It will also stabilize your blood sugar. (please see  and read my previous articles on (My Fight with Lymphoma- A Survivor,  How Did I  Prepare Myself for Chemotherapy,  HemoHIM+ - The Miracle Food Supplement and At Last, Another Advantage of HemoHIM+  Can be Told.)

But most important is, you must have a loving and caring care-giver or nurse, if able to have one,  in my case case, MY SON, who sacrificed a lot to come all the way from afar to take care and look after me for 6 months.  Of course the support of your love ones and family, relatives and friends are equally important.  

I want to share my personal experiences to all hoping to give hope to all those who are suffering from different kinds of cancers.  If  it worked in me and I am sure it will also work in you. TRY IT!

At Last, Another Advantage of HemoHim+ Can Be Told


At Last, Another Advantage of HemoHIM+ Can be Told

 By: Francisco C. Tang,MD  a.k.a  Huang Nung Yang,MD

I had DM (diabetes mellitus) since May of 2012 and my FBS (fasting blood sugar) ranged from 143-159. I started taking Glibudon (Metformin 500 mgs.) one tablet daily till Oct. 21, to twice daily from Oct. 22-31 when my FBS ranged from 162-173, to thrice daily from Nov. 1-13 when my FBS ranged from 174-200. Januvia (Sitagliptin 100 mgs.), one tablet daily was added to my regular thrice daily anti-DM medications.  

I started my first chemotherapy on Oct. 8, and then Oct. 31, Nov. 22, Dec. 12, Jan. 8, as my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th   chemotherapy respectively.  My FBS ranged from 134-214.

Two (2 weeks) before I started my 6th and last chemo, that was Feb. 1-3, 2013, my FBS ranged from 140-146. 

From Feb. 4, thereon, I started taking HemoHIM+ , as well as  my regular anti-DM medications and my FBS ranged from 129 to 126, in spite of heavy meals during the Chinese New Year’s Eve on Feb. 9.

Two days before my 6th and last chemo, that was Feb. 12, I stopped all my anti-DM medications and took only HemoHIM+ and my FBS ranged from 159 to 153.

On Feb. 14, I had my 6th and last chemo, and my FBS was 138. On the first day after my chemo, while on Prednisolone 75 mgs daily for five (5) days), that was Feb. 15-19, my FBS ranged from 204, 193, 195, 197 and 240, for 5 consecutive days so I restarted my anti-DM medications plus HemoHIM+. After my 5-day Prednisolone course was finished, my FBS started to drop to 186 on the following day, Feb. 20, so I stopped again my anti-DM medications, taking HemoHIM+ alone

Feb. 21, my FBS dropped to 147 with HemoHIM+ alone.

Feb. 22, my FBS was up 169 with HemoHIM+ alone.

Feb. 23, my FBS dropped again to 150 with HemoHIM+ alone.

Feb. 24, my FBS was up again 169 with HemoHIM+ alone.

Feb. 25, my FBS dropped to 148 with HemoHIM+ alone.

Feb. 26, my FBS dropped further again to 135 with HemoHIM+ alone

Feb. 27, my FBS was 132 with HemoHIM+ alone.

Feb. 28, my FBS was 140 with  HemoHIM+ alone.

·        WBC: 2690 (N.V.= 3900-10,390)
·        Neutrophils: 34.9% (N.V.: 40-70%)
·        Lymphocytes: 40.5%% (N.V.: 19-48%)
·        Monocytes: 7.1% (N.V.: 3.4-9%)
·        Platelets: 135 x10^3/ul (N.V.: 130-400)




After monitoring my FBS for almost one month, I can now conclude that HemoHIM+ taken ALONE can DECREASE my blood sugar without taking any anti-DM medications.


Another amazing observation about HemoHIM+ is this: I have been monitoring the effects of my post chemotherapy situation and true enough, right on the dot, every 1st day of the second week after my chemo, from the 2nd to the 5th rounds of my chemo, I always have fever with severe cytotoxic-induced neutropenia and anemia leading to septic shock necessitating hospitalization.  I was hospitalized 4 times and was in critical condition on two occasions (4th and 5th post chemo). (Read my blog - My Fight With Lymphoma-A Survivor: The Miracles)

Ten (10) days before the start of my 6th and final chemo, from Feb. 4   thereon, I started taking HemoHIM+, 2 sachets daily. Not only did I NOT have fever, I didn’t not experienced fatigue and shortness of breath, which I often felt every 2nd week after my chemo.  Proving that HemoHIM+ even taken ALONE, can keep me away from fever, can boost my immune system, can give me vigor and vitality,  can stabilize my blood sugar, and although it didn’t increase my WBC, RBC, Hgb, Hct and platelet counts, I remained healthy and without any untoward ill-effects.                                                   

These are the amazing personal observations I have to share with everyone specially those who have cancers and undergoing chemotherapy and have diabetes as well. If it worked in me, I hope it will also worked in you. Try it! It is all natural.

How to Treat Persistent Hiccups After Chemotherapy

Those who are undergoing chemotherapy, many will experience immediate side effects such as fever, headache, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, stomach pain, etc. or delayed reaction such as mouth sores, loss of appetite, weight loss, hair loss and persistent non-stop HICCUPS.

In my personal experience, the only side effects I experienced were weight loss which has stabilized lately, hair loss but have started to grow after my 5th chemo.  Persistent and non-stop HICCUPS was the only side effects that troubles me all throughout which usually appears on the 2nd or 3rd day after my chemo. I had tried every medical and  home remedies in the past to no avail until unintentionally, unexpectedly I tried  HOLDING MY BREATH WHILE SLOWLY SIPPING AND SWALLOWING SMALL AMOUNT OF LIQUID AT A TIME IN SUCCESSION TO AS LONG AS I CAN,  TO THE POINT OF EXPERIENCING A DROWNING SENSATION,  THEN STOP SIPPING AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND BLOW.  THE RELIEF IS IMMEDIATE.  Repeat the same procedure for recurrence.

Another important advice. After chemo, one will experience tumorlysis,  so one must drink plenty of liquid at least 1500 to 3000 cc to wash out and expel cancer cells in our body, wash our hands afterwards and make sure no urine spillage in the toilet bowl or urinal and flush the toilet bowl after use.

My 6th and Final Chemo

                       
                                           My 6th and Final Chemo - 1st IV Rituximab

I have been monitoring the effects of my post chemotherapy situation and true enough, right on the dot, every 1st day of the second week after my chemo, from the 2nd to the 5th rounds, I always have fever with severe cytotoxic-induced neutropenia and anemia leading to septic shock necessitating hospitalization.  I was hospitalized 4 times and was in critical condition on two occasions (4th and 5th post chemo). (Read my blog - My Fight With Lymphoma-A Survivor: The Miracles)

Ten (10) days before the start of my 6th and last chemo,  from Feb. 4  thereon, I started taking HemoHIM+, 2 sachets daily. Not only did I NOT have fever, cytotoxic-induced neutropenia and anemia, my blood sugar was stabilized, and I never had this fatigue and feeling-tired.  Proving that HemoHIM+, indeed,  boosted my immune system, gave me vigor and vitality,  and stabilized my blood sugar and although it didn't increase my WBC, RBC and platelet counts. I remained healthy with no untoward ill-effect.   (Read my blog - At Last Another Advantage of HemoHIM+ Can Be Told)

This is an amazing personal anecdote and observation I have to share with everyone specially those who have cancers and undergoing chemotherapy and have diabetes as well.

HemoHIM (Herbal Composition for Improving Anticancer Activity)


HemoHIM (Herbal Composition for Improving Anticancer Activity)

By: Francisco C. Tang,MD   a.k.a.   Huang Nung Yang,MD


While researching for the beneficial effects of HemoHIM, I came across an article written by  Dr. Sung-Kee Jo, Vice President of Radiation Research Center for Bio-Technology, Advanced Radiation Institute, Jeongeup Campus of Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. I want to share this to all for your added information.  Another research done by KAERI is a technology to manufacture high purity and all-natural cosmetic materials green tea and I am now sharing this as well.


"HERBAL COMPOSITION TO IMPROVE IMMUNITY AND NEW PROCESS FOR GREEN TEA EXTRACTS"

" A recent trend in new and innovative consumer products has seen a blurring of boundaries between the food, health, and beauty industries. In the wake of products, such as organic cosmetics and health-enhancing foods, food is no longer considered as purely a source of energy, and cosmetics are not just for physical appearances only.
 In lieu of this growing industry, Korean researchers from SunBioTech and the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) have developed two technologies in the health-functional food and cosmetics market. In a national research project supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Korea, the team has developed HemoHIM, a novel herbal composition for enhancing the immune system, and a technology to manufacture high purity and all-natural cosmetic materials from green tea.
 Immune deficiencies are often associated with a decrease of immune cells, declining cell activity and constant oxidative stress. The aging population in particular is often susceptible to declining immune systems. To combat this, the research team developed HemoHIM, prepared by a combination of three edible herbs; Angelica Radix, Cnidium Rhizoma, and Paeonia Radix. It was found that HemoHIM is able to stimulate the development of red blood cells, activate immune cells, as well as promote recovery of the immune system against oxidative stresses.
 Because HemoHIM has little or no toxic effects, it has an added advantage over other synthetic compounds often prescribed for immune-related ailments. In addition, existing immune drugs have specific targeted functions, whereas HemoHIM is able to simultaneously target multiple immune-related symptoms.
According to researcher Sung-Kee Jo, HemoHIM has been approved by the Korea Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as the first health functional food for immune system improvement. In a series of clinical studies conducted on cancer patients, healthy volunteers, and university students, HemoHIM has shown to improve recovery of white blood cells, increase interferon production, and increase lymphocytes in patients.
 The team has also investigated a new technology for manufacturing cosmetics from green tea. Green tea is well-known for being a rich source of polyphenols, which are useful as anti-oxidants, anti-aging, and for skin-whitening purposes. In cosmetics; however, these polyphenols are often applied in small quantities only, as they alter the fragrance or discolor the final product.SunBioTech’s technology employs gamma radiation technology to decolorize the green tea, thus overcoming this limitation and allows a high content of natural green tea in their cosmetic products. The result is high-purity natural cosmetic materials with strong anti-oxidant and whitening effects, without altering the products’ perfume or color.
 To date, both technologies have been used for products released in the Korean market. In the case of HemoHIM, Jo indicates that further preclinical and clinical studies will be carried out for HemoHIM’s use as a supplementary medicine for treating cancer. As for SunBioTech’s green tea extraction technology, the technology is applied to a wide variety of green tea-based lotions,essential oils and skincare products.
 Both technologies has been commercialized since 2007, and will have applications in the cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical industries."
