Martin Landenberger   Specialist in General Medicine and expert in New Ways in Cancer Therapy - Part 1 and Cancer therapy: one-on-one talk with Dr. Ing. Med. Martin Landenberger Specialist in general medicine, naturopathy, homeopathy, chiropractic, sports medicine and spa doctor The goal of my therapy is not the suppression of symptoms (lowering of blood pressure with medication, pain suppression) but the influence of metabolic processes in the form that symptoms can be made to disappear again. This requires an interest in healthy living and active cooperation.

Abstract:

The role of aromatic (AAA) and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in maintaining health in senior years- helpful, practical therapies.Aromatic amino acids as substrate for the fast stress hormon adrenaline (as well for the hormones thyroxine, melanine and insuline) are essential for the memory, thinking, concentration and stress capability, but as well for avoiding diabetes II and cancer as well as maintenance of the immune system. Branched-chain amino acids make up for one third of the muscles, are necessary for all proteins, detoxification of muscles as well as source of energy in the muscles. Some cancers show decreased levels of branched chain amino acids. The uptake of these amino acids can be guaranteed by selected nutritions, defined amino acid supplements and specially designed amino acid infusions.

Associate Professor in Graduate Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chang Gung University. My Research Focus on Hypoxia signaling in hepatic fibrosis and constructive creates new herbal remedy for liver diseases. Through current assay platform, we found that hypoxia signal triggers an ECM formation cascade leading to the mitochondria dysfunction and selective pathways of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism abnormity that is the main key of hypoxic response in liver diseases. Based on these findings, our lab is currently conducting experiments to elucidate the molecular mechanism of fatty liver in obesity. We are also investigating the roles of microbiota in regulating bile flow during hypoxia signaling in obese studies.

Abstract:

The herbal remedy is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases characterized by causing oxidative stress including inflammatory diseases, diabetes mellitus and neurodegenerative diseases. We currently reported that herbal remedy, TL001, ameliorated the Parkinsonian motor deficit and protected the nigrostriatal tract from 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced Parkinson disease (PD) mice. The dopaminergic degeneration in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and striatum(ST) were analyzed by immunohistochemistry while the monoamine oxidase B inhibitor, Selegiline, as positive control drug for both neuroprotection and correction of motor deficits. Animals were sacrificed and the brain and muscle slices were stained for dopaminergic 1, 5 receptors. Muscle mitochondria biogenesis parameter (SIRT1, PGC-1a and NRf2), and mRNA level of neurotransmitters (dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, gamma-aminobutyric acid, glutamate) also evaluations. In the MPTP-induced animal model of Parkinson's disease, TL001 time-dependently improved motor functions and increased both of a7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and tyrosine hydroxylase-positive immunoreactive cells in the SNc and ST areas and the abatement of proinflammatory cytokines compared to the MPTP mice. In addition, TL001 interventions also have produced positive results in PD patients from behavioral assessment. These findings suggest that LT001 may be used as an adjunct therapy to enhance the efficacy of L-dopa and alleviate its adverse effects in patients with PD. Thus, TL001 has potential to improve the benefits of dopaminergic therapy in Parkinson's disease.

Abstract:

Apitherapy had been well documented in traditional medicine for treating systemic immune diseases, allergic diseases, viral diseases and organic-specific inflammatory diseases since more than one thousand years. Apitherapy or the medical uses of honeybee products are range from royal jelly to bee venom. It was used by the ancient Egyptians as a homeopathic remedy for arthritis. The history of apitherapy extends back to ancient Egypt, China and Greece. Apitherapy (the term comes from the Latin apis, which means “bee”), or bee therapy, is the use of honeybee venom for therapeutic purposes. Bee venom, bee pollen, raw honey, royal jelly, wax, propolis, and bee broad are products from bees that are generally considered to have medicinal effects. These products are effective against a wide range of ailments, from arthritis and chronic pain to multiple sclerosis and cancer, although few scientific studies have proved their benefits. Medical importance of honeybee products has been take the interest of medical and biologist scientists.

Abstract:

The term echinacea represents any number of species, but Echinacea purpurea and E. angustifolia make up the majority of species of echinacea in commerce. Given the in vitro, in vivo and clinical trial results, extractions from this botanically show an overall postive impact as an immunomodulator, namely in upper respiratory tract infections. Newer research hints at PPAR-g activity which may lend itself to utility in metabolic syndrome. In addition, some ergogenic has been done that is of interest. Past research will be reviewed, as well as some of the newer research on this popular botanical.
