Neuropharmacological evaluation on four traditional herbs used as nervine tonic and commonly available as Shankhpushpi in India.  Also for Alzheimer's disease.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolphe_Vorderman

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiaan_Eijkman

In 1883 the Dutch government sent Eijkman to Indonesia to find the cause and cure for  Beriberi. He noticed that chickens fed polished rice – which is rice which has had its bran removed – developed a similar paralysis in their legs. Before he could follow up on this line of enquiry, ill health forced him to return home to tnetherlands.  Before leaving he asked his friend Adolphe Vorderman, who was Chief Medical Officer, to continue the research on the link between rice and the disease.

Eventually it was determined the missing compound that was causing Beriberi was vitamin B1, thiamine. In 1926, Barend Jansen and Willem Donath isolated and crystallized a substance that cured polyneuritis in pigeons. Robert Williams synthesized thiamin in 1936. Chemist Casimir Funk shortened the term "vital amine" to coin a new word, vitamin. For his contributions to the discovery of antineuritic vitamins, Eijkman won the 1929 Nobel Prize for Medicine, sharing the prize with Sir Frederick Hopkins. Funk, perhaps unfairly, was never given full credit for his work.

In addition to his work on beriberi, he occupied himself with other problems such as arach fermentation

Gout - High Uric acid

 Gout is a type of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. Uric acid is a breakdown product of purines that are present in many foods we eat. When live ris not healthy, then there ian abnormal increase in the levels of uric acid and crystallization of these compounds in joints can cause attacks of painful arthritis, kidney stones, and even kidney failure.

If liver is healthy then the body is healthy because liver is the manager of the body. Everything that we do affects our liver. if we sleep late in the nights , it affects the liver because it is in the night that liver's cells night shift work of producing many important pharmaceutical medicines that is need to heal the body. All the medicines that we produce externally through chemicals are produced with more potency  by liver.

Liver's Busman's Holiday: This is why for any diseases we are asked to take bed rest. Liver is engaged in so many activities that , only at resting period it gets time to produce so many healing and repairing pharmaceuticals needed for the health of the body. Road repairing workers are busy in the night to mend pot-holes in the major city highway , because the traffic is less at night. Liver is like a busman that even when the body rest, it keeps working tirelessly keeping the body healthy.

    In the day time liver is totally busy in processing the food we eat and supply the body's demand for doing all work. All the junk food we eat, is an overload for the liver. Imagine liver is the chief servant maid of a palace, who has to monitor all the activities of  the house, especially the kitchen. If you use too many dishes , the maid ends up the whole day cleaning them. She then hardly finds time to other chores of the palace. So only in the night , liver finds time to produce many detoxifying and healing pharmaceuticals for the body.

    Early to bed and sleeping in dark (no bed room lights) is vital for liver's night shift workers. This is an important life style that can keep body free from many diseases. You should complete 7 to eight hours sleep before the first sunrays fall on your Earth's spot. Ideal time for bed is before 10 PM.

Here are some means to keep the liver healthy and help its work.

Water Therapy :   We generally recommend doing Water Therapy  to cleanse the intestines and liver so that the root cause of many diseases are healed.  Drink 1.5 liters of water first in the morning, using mild amount of different types of healing herbs like  ginger, cumin seeds, mint leaves, cardamom, coriander seeds, Sarsparilla root powder, hibiscus flowers etc).  Each day one herb , but  very small amounts.  Two or three fresh leaves or one teaspoon of dried leaves.

Gut bacteria and liver team work.  Liver needs many nutrients to keep the body healthy. These nutrients comes from not only from the food we eat, but also the food that is processed by the Gut bacteria in our intestines and amazingly their number is more than the number of human cells in our body. God bacteria processes the food and supply components that are helpful for the liver and other parts of the body. Whereas bad bacteria  processes food that are harmful for the body. Therefore our health depends on the ratio of the good vs bad bacteria. So rememebr to feed the good bacteria and not the bad one's. So eating whole foods support good abcteria work and junk food feeds bad bacteria.

Chewing your food well is healthy for the body: Tamil Indian proverb "norunga thindral nooru vayathu" which means if you chew your food well, then you live for hundred years.  When we chew the saliva mixes well with food and that well chewed food feeds the good bacteria. This is why we always recomend awareful eating (yogic eating). 

Eat fermented rice  and or  fermented barley for more effective results.

Earth Therapy:  Fiber-rich foods are tonic of liver. It gives less work for liver. It supplies nutrients and so makes the liver less tiresome. We recommend using fiberrich whole grains like brown rice (remember to soak in water and cook), whole rye flakes (33% fiber compared to 20% fiber in oats), whole wheat flakes (28%), barley flakes (26%). Millets like Ragi rich in fiber. In all ancient traditions, people ate different types of grains and millets  many of the readers might be unaware of the names.  These millets give different nourishment that help prevent many diseases like cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer etc.  millet, kodo-millet.

Breakfast
Use seven different whole grains for seven days. One can use in the form of pan-cakes (Dosai) or steamed cakes (Idli's), or porridge (oozhu) or cracked-uppuma type (See recipes in Sakthi kitchen).

Cleansing:

Very important is to cleanse the liver and intestines with Castor oil and Gallnut (cleansing)  before starting the Pancha Bhoota and you can alternatively do the cleanse every two months (one time castor oil , next time gall-nut cleansing). If you have liver failure , then wait for few months till your liver function tests are normal.

Triphala Powder - Strengthen Liver: Everyday night take one teaspoon of Triphala powder in 50 ml of hot water. (Please Click here  to find the link to buy this herb).

Air therapy: Taking a long breath and relaxes every now and then reduces stress in the body. Doing Pranayama 5 minutes morning and evening is also good.

Space Therapy: Similarly relaxation  of the mind reduces stress.

The Epidemiology of Uric Acid and Fructose https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3197219/

Fructose and Serum Uric Acid

The substantial increase in soft drink and fructose consumption coincided with the increasing trend of serum uric acid (12, 17, 23, 29) and doubling of the disease burden of gout (14, 36) over the past few decades in the US (85, 91, 92)(Figure 1). Fructose is known to induce uric acid production by increasing ATP degradation to AMP, a uric acid precursor (85, 93, 94) and thus, within minutes after fructose infusion, serum uric acid levels rise (94). Furthermore, de novo purine synthesis is accelerated, further potentiating uric acid production.
