Conditions Bronchitis Also Listed As: Signs and Symptoms Causes Diagnosis Preventive Care ... Supporting Research Bronchitis means inflammation of the air passages to the lungs. Bronchitis can be acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis is usually due to a viral infection that begins in your nose or sinuses and spreads to the airways. To be considered chronic, you must have a cough productive of sputum at least three months out of the year. Chronic bronchitis occurs most often in smokers and, together with emphysema, is known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Signs and Symptoms Acute bronchitis
  • Cough that produces mucus Burning sensation in the chest Wheezing Sore throat Fever Fatigue
Chronic bronchitis:
  • Chronic cough that produces excessive amounts of mucus Wheezing, shortness of breath Blue-tinged lips Ankle, feet, and leg swelling
Causes Acute bronchitis is usually caused by a virus, but can also be caused by bacteria. Generally, acute bronchitis is passed from person to person. The main causes of chronic bronchitis are cigarette smoking and prolonged exposure to air pollution or other irritants such as dust and grain.

1 Esker Lawns, Lucan, Dublin, Ireland Summary Introduction New Meta Engines Other Online Databases ... References Summary An earlier paper ( New Meta Engines on the Web Other Online Databases Medline Acubriefs ... Other Introduction Medline Journal Browser On July 27th 1999, Medline had indexed 10,120,573 articles. On that date, it had 7031 articles on AP or moxibustion. For such a large database, this is a very low proportion of AP-moxa articles, representing a rate of only 0.695/1000 Medline hits. Keeping up-to-date, even in narrow areas, is very difficult. If one were to do nothing else but speed-read from morning to night, no one person, no matter how talented, could hope to read a fraction of the annual output in the total medical area. Then, having located & studied the material of interest, the major problem of human memory is accurate recall of the stored information, & making appropriate conceptual linkages between different "packages of memory-stored data". Most people have poor to only partial recall of data; only those with photographic memories can recall (and link) most of what they have read. In contrast, computer-memories do not "forget", unless there is disk-failure, or power-failure. Digital data on modern media (CD-ROMS, floppy disks, zip disks, etc) usually are retrievable. Modern technology offers fast, easy & total retrieval of stored data. In contrast to human memory, if the data are coded correctly, & if correct search terms are used, every reference to a particular data-string can be recalled.

Quercetin is a plant pigment found in many foods such as onions, apples, berries, tea, and red wine. It's not a nutrient, but is classified as a flavonoid. Once thought to be vitamins, flavonoids were given such names as vitamin P and vitamin C2. Like many other plant chemicals, quercetin is sold as a supplement. Oral quercetin is relatively well absorbed, and it is metabolized mainly to isorhamnetin, tamarixetin and kaempferol.
Quercetin often occurs in plants as glycosides, such as Rutin (quercetin rutinoside) in tea. Quercetin and rutin are used in many countries as vasoprotectants and are ingredients of numerous multivitamin preparations and herbal remedies.

Samento®: New Support For An Ancient Enemy—Lyme Disease
James South, M.A.
Lyme disease was first recognized around 1975, when a mysterious outbreak of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis occurred around Lyme, Connecticut.1 In 1982, the causative agent of Lyme disease was discovered by Willy Burgdorfer. It turned out to be a spirochete (spiral-shaped bacterium) from the genus Borrelia, subsequently named Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb).1
As Lyme disease expert Jo Anne Whitaker, M.D., notes: “Lyme disease is called the ‘New Great Imitator’ because, like syphilis [the original ‘Great Imitator’], it attacks multiple organ systems and mimics many diseases. Both diseases are caused by spirochetes.”2 Originally believed to be spread only through bites by the tiny deer tick (Ixodes dammini), it is now known to be potentially spread by many tick species, as well as bot-flies, mosquitoes and fleas.3,4
And in a recent article with 224 references, physicians W.T. Harvey and P. Salvato have offered persuasive evidence that Lyme disease is transmitted sexually and congenitally (by birth from an infected mother), as well as through breastfeeding.1,4 They also provide evidence that Lyme disease may be a hidden epidemic, affecting as much as one-sixth of the human race, if not more.4 By 1994, Lyme disease experts Brian Fallon and Jenifer Nields could already state: “Now the most common vector-borne [spread by ticks and insects] infection in the United States, Lyme disease is increasing in incidence and geographic spread.”5

Got Anthocyanins?
These plant pigments are more than coloring agents for fruit juices, wine, and other beverages. They also contain an array of health-promoting benefits. By Marilyn Sterling, R.D. Eaten in large amounts by primitive humans, anthocyanins are antioxidant flavonoids that protect many body systems. They have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant compounds, and they are also things of beauty: anthocyanins provide pigment for pansies, petunias, and plums. (Anthocyanins are a separate class of flavonoids from proanthocyanidins , discussed in NSN Anthocyanins are the active component in several herbal folk medicines such as bilberry ( Vaccinium myrtillus ), which was used in the 12th century to induce menstruation and during World War II to improve British pilots' night vision. Scientists are now discovering how such anthocyanins work and are beginning to appreciate their health benefits. Anthocyanins link with sugar molecules to form anthocyanins; besides chlorophyll, anthocyanins are probably the most important group of visible plant pigments. Anthocyanins, a flavonoid category, were found in one study to have the strongest antioxidizing power of 150 flavonoids.

http://www.iconlibrary.org/scholarwinter03.htm
The Evidence Is In – Complimentary and Alternative Medicine
What is CAM What does it mean to be evidence based? These, and many other questions were discussed at an MLA Continuing Education course I attended at the MCMLA/SDLA meeting in October. The course was taught by Stephanie Weldon, NN/LM MCR Consumer Health Liaison, Univ. of Colorado Health Sciences Library In her course description she included these facts. “In 1997, the total visits to Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) providers (629M) exceeded total visits to all primary care physicians (386M). Total out of pocket expenditures for CAM therapies were conservatively estimated at $27B. (JAMA 1998; 280:1569-75). The statistics cited suggest that your patrons may be interested in CAM therapies. This session will provide you with an evidenced based approach to evaluating CAM literature. Information on herbal resources and their efficacy will be discussed. We will also look at the literature and resources which will help us answer our patron's questions. Come prepared for a lively discussion on CAM resources and methods for their evaluation.”
