Low-dose combinations of curcumin and EGCG have a beneficial effect on regulating important cancer targets in HepG2 and SW1417 cell lines. The data suggest a supportive role for phytochemicals as complementary treatments to chemotherapy.
Mind–body practices have a variety of health implications, including inflammatory modulation, cognitive improvement, and impact on neurofunction. Some of these effects have been demonstrated through rapidly developing technology and their impact on circulating blood levels of hormones and other molecules. As neurotrophic factors like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and hormones such as cortisol have been shown to play a role in cognitive function, this pilot study assessed the influence of a mind–body intervention, Qigong, on circulating levels in participants.
Several natural therapies that, in combination with beneficial dietary and lifestyle changes, may be neuroprotective for patients with auto-immune or neuroinflammatory conditions.
Human enjoyment of natural environmental settings is common to all cultures. It is a complex, evolutionary, psychophysiological response with notable potential to positively impact both physical and mental health of individuals and populations. Four decades of research have produced a large body of empirical and experimental studies demonstrating the benefits of contact with Nature. A sufficient evidence base now allows for meaningful systematic reviews and meta-analyses to begin to guide health recommendations. This is the first of three articles to review the state of the science on the potential health benefits of contact with Nature, covering Visual Nature, Forest Therapy, Gardening, Residential Greenspace, and Blue Space.
Several natural approaches that may promote remyelination and adaptive levels of NGF in people living with MS.
Communication between brain neurohormone and endocrine hormone production is central to neuroendocrine integration.
Immunomodulation is the process of regulating the immune system to ensure it responds adaptively. Normally, the immune system self-regulates through mechanisms of physiological homeostasis. However, in several health conditions, including cancer and auto-immune disorders, the self-regulatory mechanism is unable to function optimally.
It’s been known for a while that polyphenols are important antioxidants. Now, an increasing number of studies suggest that dietary polyphenols have potent anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties as well.

Liz Sutherland, ND had the pleasure of interviewing Heather Zwickey, PhD for the JRM Digest. Dr. Heather Zwickey explains Post-COVID Syndrome. Post-COVID syndrome refers to any long-term symptoms that remain when the infection is over.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is among the most common chronic neurodegenerative conditions, affecting 1% of those over 60 years of age, and involves motor and non-motor impairments. The purpose of this review is to highlight various nutrition and supplement interventions that may positively affect disease onset and progression, and that warrant further research.
Small-scale studies suggest that long-term melatonin
supplementation safely and effectively treats sleep onset insomnia in children with
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or autism spectrum disorder
(ASD).
