THE TOWER OF BABEL

„What time is it?” „Oh yes, I’m so happy;

all I need is a little bell round my neck

to jingle over you while you’re asleep.”

„Didn’t you hear the storm? The north wind shook

the walls; the tower gate, like a lion’s maw,

yawned on its creaking hinges.” „How could you

forget? I had on that plain gray dress

that fastens on the shoulder.” „At that moment,

myriad exploswns shook the sky.” „How could I

come in? You weren’t alone, aff er all.” „I glimpsed

colors older than sight itself” „Too bad

you can’t promise me.” „You’re right, it must have been

a dream.” „Why all these lies; why do you call me

by her name; do you still love her?” „Of course,

I want you to stay with me.” „I can’t

complain. I should have guessed myself.”

„Do you still think about him?” „But I’m not crying.”

„That’s all there is?” „No one but you.”

„At least you’re honest.” „Don’t worry,

I’m leaving town.” „Don’t worry,

I’m going.” „You have such beautiful hands.”

„That’s ancient historv; the blade went through,

but missed the bone.” „Never mind, darling,

never mind.” „I don’t know

what time it is, and I don’t care.

A Hindu philosopher

and poet, Rabindranath

Tagore was accustomed

to say: „� e demon of the

contemporary civilisation

has violated the human-

kind sense of balance”.

� e price is a long � gure, namely health of us, and happi-

ness altogether, what more o� en than not escapes our at-

tentiveness. We chase career, money, and any other assets.

We can not a� ord time for a peaceful meal, some rest, ne-

ither for a get-together with the dearest. Indeed, our schedu-

le points at the „urgent”, but at the appointments with con-

tractors, or those persons who we can expect pro� ts from.

And the moment a disease collars us is when

we ask questions why our bodies refuse this func-

tion or another, why now, when we have planned this

and that minute, then only it occurs to mind, that

our elaborated notion of life may crash with reality.

We turn to all this, what exacts instant e� ects, what

relieves pain at once or would keep us on top form ro-

und the clock. Strewn with „chemistry”, we do not relax

the pace... till next time, except it might be the last one.

“May someone halt the time I am stepping o� ...”

goes the song of Anna Maria Jopek. Certainly, many

of us should rely on the lyrics. Until it is not too late to

calm down, to „restore” our today habits, so as to be re-

ady to trust the olden natural formulations of past ge-

nerations, when an ailment happens to seize us.

We can save fears, the contemporary science and me-

dicine is more and more receptive to natural reme-

dies and traditional approaches to come in aid of he-

alth, it is what we would like to introduce you with.

Apple juice in relati on to Alzheimer

Regular drinking of apple juice may counter disorders Alzhei-mer patients experience. Scientists proved, that mice subjected to be consuming apple juice generated less beta-amyloids – name-ly chemical compounds, that build so called amyloidal plaques.

Th ese formations are observed in individuals, who suff er Alzhei-mer. For the duration of a month, the mice were drinking this kind of juice in amounts of two glasses daily, quoted in human equivalent.

Th e study assures, that incidence of many diseas-es is dependent not only on genetic factors, but also on a diet.

Buzzing in the ears – the reason already known

Learning the grounds of persistent buzzing in the ears should serve its ef-fective treatments – the magazine “Neuroscience” informs. The ringing in the ears (tinnitus in Latin) is the perception of sound within the human ear in the absence of corresponding external acoustic sound. This fatigu-

ingindispositionafflictsmillionsofindividualsworldwide.

Most people happens to experience it every now and then, whereas 5% of the whole population suf-fer it chronic and unusually troublesome. It may even perturb everyday responsibilities.

The tinnitus might occur as ringing, clattering, whistling, jingling, shrilling, or hissing. It is concur-rent to nearly all of ear ailments, and is likely to appear past a head injury or any traumas stemmed from noise. As a rule, damage of nerve ending in the inner ear is the most frequent cause, howev-er there are other dynamics prompting it, such as allergy, goose egg, diabetes, thyroid complaints,

blood circulation disorders due to over- or under pressure, or using some of drugs (e.g. aspirin).

Scientists at the University of Western Australia carried out a study employing guinea-pigs. They demonstrated, that buzzing in the ears is engendered by excessive stimulation of nerves located in these areas of brain, where sound is processed. This is how the echoes develop. In conclusion, the core of the illness is degenerative changes in the genes, therefore the point we start from to heal it

is “calming” these genes.

Urine tests apt to reveal appendiciti s

A commonplace urine analysis may come in aid to detect the infl ammation of appen-dix, colloquially called blinddarm - the journal “Annals of Emergency Medicine” updates.

Th e appendix, resembling as if a worm, is a protrusion of the large bowel to be found next to the intersection with the small one. It might be life-threatening, especially when the pus swollen appendix pops, what leads to peritoneum infl ammation. Nonetheless, diagnosis of the condition is troublesome.

Th e most frequent of symptoms is abdominal pain, sited at the right bottom of the hip (namely at the right bottom of stomach), however the appendix may be situated wherev-er else. Fever and increased concentration of white blood cells are not reliable indicators, hence in such cases ultrasonography or computed tomography is employed, provided that doctors are equipped with the apparatus. Quite oft en, there are both unrecognised infl am-mations remaining, and ill-conceived operations, when a healthy appendix is removed.

Th e experts of the Children’s Hospital in Boston discovered the protein LRG in urine, which might be accountable for appendicitis. To be able to mark it, they use mass spectrom-etry, nevertheless it is fairly probable to invent appropriate test strips.

PAP – Science in Poland

What comes into sight is, that kissing serves health not only in respect of our relationships, but also our bodies as such. A few minutes of lips contact e� cient-ly lowers the stress hormone intensity.

Prof. Wendy Hill, the neurologist and the dean from the Lafayette College Biology Department in the USA, she carried out a trial, to � nd out what comes to pass the moment we are at the point of exchanging kisses. It was heterosexual students, who were invited for participation in the experiment.

Firstly, samples of blood and saliva were drawn from the subjects. � en, they were asked to be kiss-ing for 15 minutes in presence of music. As soon as the couples have � nished, again, samples of blood and saliva were taken and chemical analysis of them was conducted.

� e 15 minutes was as much as necessary to evoke substantial decrease of cortisol concentration (the hormone of stress), and at the same time induce in-crease of oxytocin, namely the hormone associated with bond and care. Peculiar indeed, that the strength of the OXT modestly declined in case of females.

Prof. Hill e� ected the try-out in the premises of university health centre, and now she is intending to accomplish it in a more romantic environment.

� e de� nition and classi� cation of obesity

Overweight and obesity are generally ascertained on the basis of body mass in-dex (BMI). In case of adult organisms, the referred indicator correlates with total fat content. It is considered, that the accurate BMI should not surpass 25kg/m², 25-30kg/m² is attributed to overweight, while fur-ther up 30kg/m² is assumed to be obesity.

Clinically, the distribution of the adipo-se tissue is more decisive. Obesity attrac-ted the attention as early as in fi ft ies, which is when an upsurge of death rates was re-ported. Th e case pertained to bus drivers in London, among whom the share of bro-ader girth died more habitually, than the share, who were more active and slimmer in waist. Ischemic heart disease was found the main reason behind the mortality. In 1956, it was suggested, that android (ma-sculine) nature of obesity is strictly related to diabetes type 2 and arteriosclerosis. Sin-ce then, a sudden stream of research and examinations took place, to prove, that ab-dominal fat is the reliable warning of a po-tential metabolic syndrome and its all re-cognizable features. Th is was the moment, when it became clear, that BMI alone is not enough to pinpoint obesity. In consequen-ce, WHR indicator (waist to hip ratio) was introduced. At present, diagnostics of cen-tripetal obesity is far easier, and depends on measuring of waistline, which unfa-ilingly shows a relationship with BMI. Th e probability of metabolic complications due to obesity is minimal as long as fema-le middle amounts to <80, and male’s < 94.

Epidemiology of obesity and diabetes type 2

Th e NHANES III investigation (Natio-nal Health and Nutrition Examination Survey), organized in 1988-94 in the USA, provided the evidence, that the problem is a concern of a greater part of the popula-tion. Th e criterion was met by 25% of wo-men and 20% of men, save from the fact of converted proportion, that 5,1% of inhabi-tants proved a giant dimension of obesity, that is BMI>40 kg/m². Apart from grand fatness, the individuals were diagnosed with the following facets of metabolic syn-

drome: arterial hypertension, hyperli-pidemics, impaired tolerance towards carbohydrates. Th e conclusion is, that 2/3 of society runs the risk of chronic metabolic diseases.

On the whole, the most serious aft ermath of obesity is diabetes type 2. Th e fi gures of patients escalate ri-ght now and we can feel free to state, that it is already of pandemic charac-ter, also, reaching Poland in the same way.

Obesity is determined by many a dy-namic, namely metabolic, endocrinolo-gical (hormonal), genetic, environmen-tal, social, psychological, and behavio-ural likewise.

Th e established references aff ord suf-fi cient data, to be able to confi rm, that it is environmental factor and so called “western life style” to be reproached for the fact obesity developed to this extent.

Secondary obesity occurs in such ca-ses as: certain endocrinological dise-ases, organic hypothalamus disorders, genetically conditioned syndromes, and altogether it necessitates separate diagnostics and specialised treatment.

Incidence of obesity has also its iatro-genic root, namely attributable to using such drugs as neuroleptic medicines, antidepressants, antiepileptic tablets, sedative ones, steroid and beta-adre-nergic hormones, and alike antidiabetic medications – insulin and derivates of sulfonylurea.

Th ere is justifi able to raise some of alarm, for obesity amounts to all carbo-hydrate metabolism disorders, diabe-tes type 2 in particular, and again, tre-atments of this type of diabetes mellitus further gaining in weight.

We, now, witness the real global di-mension of diabetes epidemic. Regar-ding medical corollaries and social im-port of these associated diseases, we do hope, that we will be able to make pro-gress and be able to prevent them ahe-ad of time.

� e function of adipose tissue

It has been established, that the fat tissue is not merely a storage of body energy, but also does modulate metabo-lisms of other vital organs, such as bra-in, muscles (cardiac muscle), liver.

Adipocytes (fat cells) manage to re-gulate the two of following interrelated mechanisms:

1/ the adipose tissue serves as an endocrine gland, synthesising and secreting series of endo-peptidases, ordering me-tabolism by this means

2/ PPAR-gamma (pero-xisome proliferator acti-vated receptor gamma) – the nuclear receptor and transcription factor, ac-tivates cascades of mole-cular sequences, what in turn commands saving fats and carbohydrates, and as a fi nal point deter-mines fat body mass.

� e adipose tissue as an endocrine gland.

Th e fat tissue have important be-aring on metabolism. It liberates a rank of substances, that fundamentally sup-port other separate tissues and organs. Th is body fat is essential for the dura-tion of puberty and preserving fertility.

Th ese released via fatty tissue substan-ces play many an endocrinal role: per-form paracrine distribution, regulate tri-glyceride metabolism, operate coagula-tion, are source of free fatty acids (FFA).

Th is numerous chemical material af-fords energetic balance and exacts unity of mechanisms within human body system, adjusting satiety hormones, cytokines and free fatty acids to be working together. Fatty acids, prostaglandins and their deri-vates remain in natural affi nity to PPAR--gamma receptors, in turn tiazolidine-dions (drugs) are their synthetic ligands.

Insulin-resistance:� e mechanism and chemical

mediators.

Centripetal obesity stands for a great deal of risk factors, that are more than like-ly to lead to arteriosclerosis and ischemic heart disease, all of which add up to meta-bolic syndrome and are attributed to be all engendered by insulin-resistance. Th e re-lationship of obesity and insulin-resistan-ce has been established and documented, however these days, scientists concentra-ted on endo and paracrine distribution of adiopocytes. Still, insulin-resistance ba-sed metabolic disorders exacerbate proli-feration of blood vessels, generate infl am-mation and upgrade number of plaques.

Th e substances the adipose tissue se-cretes, elevate insulin-resistance abo-ve all. Th ese compounds are: leptin, TNF-α (tumour necrosis factor), IL-6 (In-terleukin-6), resistin, adiponectin, but fi rst and foremost it is products of lipo-lysis – free fatty acids, and many more.



Debased insulin sensitiveness can be ascertained many years ahead the very diagnosis of diabetes type 2, and insu-lin-resistance, being its most dange-rous independent risk factor outpaces diabetes incidence even 10 years ahead.

Genetic factors and pathogenesis of obesity

So far, the obesity gene has not been found. What was identifi ed to this point is rare genetic syndromes, that are phe-notypically related to obesity, whereas it is believed, that it can not be one single gene accountable for obesity, but it must be a complex variety of genes. Genetic predisposition to obesity relies on leptin receptor, adrenergic receptor beta-3, in-sulin receptor, and many others.

Currently, the PPAR gamma gene is regarded to be the most serious risk fac-tor prompting obesity. Th e gene, that decodes this receptor is located at the short arm of the chromosome 3 (3p25). Th e receptor PPAR-gamma appears to have central impact on lipid metabo-lism, energy balance and insulin sensi-tiveness.

Obesity incidence unfolds all around the world and engenders fairly critical global problems, equally of medical, economical and societal nature. Tre-ating the disease is very diffi cult in ac-

tual fact, for the reasons and dynamics behind it are not suffi ciently acknow-ledged. Nonetheless, a signifi cant sum of evidence has been drawn together, in order to be able to understand genetic background of eating patterns, for in-stance tendencies towards greater or lesser amounts food or potential gene-tic interrelations.

Obesity complications

It is assumed, that it is females, who is more susceptible to obesity. Th e pro-blem aff ects girls during puberty, and women in the course of childbirth and breast-feeding. Any consecutive pre-gnancy contributes to body weight gain of around 12 kg. Menopause and shift s in hormonal metabolism generate ab-dominal fat tissue, the way it is charac-teristic to males. It initiates due to de-creased concentration of estrogen and increased intensity of testosterone. Me-nopausal period is moreover aggrava-ted with psychosocial factors, since it is when people retire or are made re-dundant. Also, the value of good lo-oks is what humans do take care abo-ut, and in case of one’s dissatisfaction it might cause depression, what more oft en than not brings obesity about.

In here, these are potential hormonal complaints obesity is likely to prompt:

- abnormal insulin realising tending to insulin-resistance condition- hyperfunction of hypothalamic-pitu-itary-adrenal axis- testosterone defi ciency aff ecting ma-les, and superfl uity concerning females - growth hormone inadequacy.

Developed countries face country-wi-de crisis to achieve treatments of obesi-ty and its complications. However in Po-land, diabetes and obesity are still un-derestimated issues. Chronic character of the disease and the aft ermath it invo-lves, all of this necessitate patients, the-ir families, doctors, and educational in-stitutions to assume appropriate routi-nes. Th erefore, there must be a solid sys-tem set up, guarded by apposite regula-tions and laws, and supported by inde-pendent budgets, policies, organisations, all of which should go in one accord with the public opinion and interests.

Apart from the fat accumula-ted in subcutaneous tissue and visce-ral peritoneum, there is fat material, that turns amassed in liver and many other inner organs. About 70% of obe-se patients suff er steatohepatitis, whe-reas 3% of obese individuals deve-lop some warning signs of cirrhosis.

Likewise, obesity gives rise to hepa-tolithiasis, joint diseases (degenerati-ve arthritis, spine statics’ distortions, sciatica) and blood vessels syndro-mes. Also, in recent times, the inciden-ce of obstructive pulmonary disease co-mes into the light, one that is associa-ted with abnormal lung ventilation ra-tio next to perfusion, hypoxemia, hy-percapnia and sleep apnea. Th reefold times more frequently obese persons experience diabetes, hypertension, lipid metabolism disorders, hepatolithiasis, ischemic heart disease, gout and dege-nerative arthritis. Again, twofold times more oft en they go through cancers, po-lycystic ovarian diseases, fertility com-plications and connate fetus defects.

It should not take by surprise, that obesity reduces life longevity. Hen-ce, the pandemic scale of obesity is



one of the most challenging issu-es nations worldwide are to confront.

And now, the substantial mat-ter is expenditures on health servi-ce and treatments. It dictates the combat strategy to refl ect all the po-pulation in total and to be orien-ted towards maximum of risks.

As far as this, obesity treatments have been practiced by the therapeu-tic methods as follows: non-phar-macological approach, diet, phy-sical activity, pharmacotherapy of obesity, diabetes pharmacotherapy.

Th e problem is, that the non-phar-macological approach (life style adju-stment) is as if underestimated, in spi-te of the fact it is this very method that proves superlative. On the other side, diet and physical activity alone do not meet the demand, and diabetes pa-tients have no alternative, but take oral hypoglycemic agents and/or insulin.

Yet again, both the agents and in-sulin eff ect body weight gain. Th is in turn is more than probable to lead to ischemic heart diseases, what in turn again, confi nes to hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Consequently, body mass reduction is strictly de-pendent on the treatments of diabe-tes and concomitant heart diseases.

Key features of diabetes treatments

Th e end results we have been achie-ving show plainly, that the diabetes therapies we employ are imperfect to a certain extent. It arises from inadequ-ate monitoring of diabetes, screened by measures of glucose and glycated hemoglobin HbA1C concentrations, the latter of which is a retrospective indicator of 24 h glyceamia adjusting, of potential incidence of cardiovascu-lar complications, and of other inter-nal complications. On the other hand, more restrictive approaches give gro-unds to such serious complications as hypoglycemia or weight gain.

Incretion hormones and diabetes.

Th e epidemiological statistics allow to conclude, that obesity and diabetes will become the dominant health issue in global scale. Th e prophylaxis in this respect is publicizing and promoting healthy life style, in order to uphold confi rmed balance of energy potential.

Today urbanization does not favor obesity and diabetes, for people have to be commuting instead of walking. Also, the urban arrangements provi-de to few of aff ordable recreation si-tes, promenades, cycle routes, or swim-ming pools. Still, the effi cacy of the pre-ventive policies is conditional upon the cooperation of institutions and local authorities.

None the less, there is great hopes and expectations towards the hormo-nes secreted via digestive tract, name-ly incretion hormones GLP-1 and GIP. Th e abbreviations stand for glucose de-pendent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon like peptide 1 respective-ly. GIP is the fi rst identifi ed incretion,

secreted by K cells of small bowel, to be stimulating β cells of pancreas in the di-rection of insulin releasing.

GIP-1 is a natural product of gluca-gon gene activity. It is generated by hor-monal L cells in distal part of ileum and colon.

Both hormones become activated the moment they intermix with the recep-tor, that binds the protein G. Th e part-ner receptor for GLP-1 is located in the β and α pancreas cells, and peripheral tissues: peripheral and central nervo-us system, reins, heart, lungs, alimen-tary tract. Th e main infl uence GLP-1 exacts is inspiring insulin releasing on the strength of current glucose intensi-ty. Incretion eff ect of GLP-1 is 70% in-sulin response to an oral glucose fe-eding. Furthermore, GLP-1 reduces de-mand for aft er-meal glucagon doses, it slows down stomach voiding and eases appetite altogether.

It was demonstrated, that diabetic type 2 patients prove downgraded GLP-1 liberating. Multi-function effi cien-cy of GLP-1 adjusts glyceamia and fur-thers losing body weight, so then appe-


ars to be a desirable diabetes type 2 me-dicine. However, pharmacotherapy on GLP-1 is restricted by too short a half--life (ab. 2 min.). GLP-1 gives way to di-peptidyl peptidase IV enzyme (DPP IV) and disintegrates rapidly.

Th e therapeutic potency of GLP-1 gave rise to manufacturing of incre-tion hormones agonists. Eksenatide is the fi rst agonist of GLP-1 ever produ-ced and made accessible in the market. It performs GLP-1 activity and regula-tes carbohydrate metabolism, being do-ubly operational for it is resistant to the dipeptidyl peptidase IV enzyme. Ekse-natide was incorporated as a legal drug on the condition that it is meant to be associated with metformin and/or deri-vates of sulfonylurea, in cases when gi-ven patients are not able to achieve opti-mal glyceamia levels while on maximal doses of oral anti-diabetic agents.

Clinical studies provides evidence, that diabetes type 2 treatments on eks-enatide aff ord reducing glyceamia on empty stomach, aft ermeal upsurges and HbA1c. Next to it, patients receiving eksenatide were observed losing the-ir weight. In the course of 3-week blind clinic control placebo tests, introducing eksenatide to the placebo medicaments exacted the subjects to lose 1,6-2,8 kg of their body weight, while it was 0,3-0,9 kg in the control group.

Continuation of eksenatide therapy in open, prolonged phase of the study resulted in 4,5 kg of body mass reduc-tion within the span of 3 years. It was 84% of the subjects, who proved the fact of slimming down. Moreover, there was directly the proportional interdepen-dence between output values of BMI and degree of body weight loss. Th e out-put BMI<30 kg/m² correlated to 3,9 kg of weight reduction, in turn BMI>30 kg/m² to 5,8 kg. It was confi rmed, that sub-jects, during the therapy, they did not experience undesirable commotions such as nausea or vomiting. It is remar-kable indeed, that for the 3-year period of the observation, the patients were not

required to change their life styles in re-gard of diet or physical activity. In com-parison to insulin, eksenatide was the source of 2,3 kg weight reduction, com-pared to glargine 5,5 kg, to two-phase aspart mixture 30/70. In contrast, glar-gine therapies were the occasions when people put up 1,9 kg of weight, or 2,9 kg while being treated aspart.

GLP-1 and Eksenatide functioning: both stimulate releasing of insulin on the strength of glucose, they increase generating of insulin in liver, they de-crease stomach voiding, equally decre-ase glucose-dependant secreting of glu-cagon, reduce appetite and foster satie-ty. In many a physical exam, Eksenati-de improved treatments of diabetic pa-tients, who were obese. Th is medica-ment enables to convalesce, as it stati-

stically lessens HBA1C and gradually improves body weight. Within the pe-riod of 3 years the patients lost 5,5 kg of their body mass. In brief, administering Eksenatide extorted glyceamia adjusted and risk factors of heart complications reduced. As it was mentioned, Eksena-tide and long-run glargine insulin exact comparable stability of diabetes, howe-ver the former comes in aid to be able to alter body weight predicament. Yet in this respect, Eksenatide prompted some of side-eff ects in form of stomach and bowel complaints.

Well-timed diagnosis

and adequate treatments of diabetes type 2 prevents

against chronic complications



Th e critical issue in this kind of dise-ase is patients’ obesity. Th e very obesi-ty is one of the diabetes triggers, none-theless it might develop under the we-ight of oral hypoglycemic agents used. For this reason, incretion hormones be-come so practical in combat with dia-betes obesity. Notwithstanding the-re is variety of oral drugs aimed to be applied in mono- and politherapies, at-tempts to keep glyceamia in control is still substandard. Numerous of these oral drugs actually contribute to be ga-ining weight, they intensify insulin pro-duction to hyper an extent or even in-duce hypoglycemia. On the other hand, there is oft en want of acceptance in case of insulin therapies, because of the in-evitability of injections, self-examina-tions, and greater probabilities of sugar fl uctuations. Th e incretion system, that secretes the hormones in the gastro-in-testinal tract, and stabilizes hypoglyce-mia prevalence, is now regarded to be corresponding to quantity of carbohy-drates consumed. Both of the hormo-nes are released in answer to alimenta-ry stimulus and prompt insulin secre-ting, what takes place likewise in case of healthy individuals and diabetes type2 patients. However, diabetics respond to it all the more, for the fact their bo-dies decrease releasing of GLP-1, while uphold GIP levels, all of which interfe-re with insulin during postprandial po-int in time. Clinical studies show, that in contrast to GIP, GLP-1 not only am-plifi es releasing of insulin, but also, all at once, cohabits releasing of glucagon in α pancreas cells. It happens thanks to uninterrupted impact on GLP-1 re-ceptor in the α cells, and indirectly on the strength of paracrine distribution of substances liberated by β and γ cells. Releasing of glucagon on the basis of GLP-1 increases hypoglycaemic eff ect. Th en again, the eff ect is exactingly de-pendent on regular or elevated degree of glucose. Th e functioning remains in contrast to functioning of drugs found on derivates of sulfonylurea, what redu-

ces exposure to hypoglycemia. Resear-chers reveal, that GLP-1 favours mass of β cells, what in turn is attributable to deepened proliferation and curbed apoptosis. Th e benefi ts GLP-1 serves to glyceamia profi le is fi rmly related to its infl uence on the alimentary tract, na-mely how far it slows down stomach vo-iding and peristalsis of small bowel, or how much it enhances pyloric voltage, all of which sums up to easing appeti-te and boosting satiety. Hence, GLP-1 analogs renders im-mediate anorexia eff ect. Still, losing weight by means of it involves undesirable fi ts of nausea and vomiting, and it concerns 36-51% of patients. Still again, GLP-1 promotes also arterial pressure, as well as reading of triglycerides. Furthermore, none of GPL-1 infl uence on alimentary mo-tility or central nervous sys-tem was established, neither in trials on humans nor on animals.

Deactivation of both hor-mones takes place in the pre-sence of an enzyme, the se-rine protease – the dipep-tidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4). Th e degradation of GLP-1 and GIP comes to pass fair-ly rapidly, incredibly near to their very secretion, and this is the basic limitation to em-ploy them in the therapies. For that reason, inhibitors of DPP-4 must be incorporated altogether. At this time, two such substances are in servi-ce: sitagliptin and vildaglip-tin. Both of drugs are admi-nistered orally and deliver glycemic eff ect, particularly during the aft ermeal phase, but also on empty stomach. Th ese medicines can be used the same in monotherapies, as in association with other

oral drugs (metformin, derivates of sul-fonylurea). It has been proved, that met-formin combined with sitagliptin af-ford adduct. Nevertheless, execution of DPP-4 inhibitors does not equal to exe-cution of exogenously applied incretion hormones. As it was mentioned before, diabetes type 2 patients produce insuf-fi cient amounts of GLP-1, when addi-tionally GLP-1 concentration does not stand linear independence with DPP-



4 release-inhibiting. So as to be able to use the inhibitors of DPP-4, there must be a scarce probability of hypoglyce-mia incidence aft er meal and on emp-ty stomach. It is caused under infl uen-ce of GLP-1 and GIP secretion before and aft er meals and the inhibitors work only at physiological time. Th e likeliho-od of hypoglycemia increases minute-ly if the inhibitors are associated with other drugs, especially the derivates of sulfonylurea. Th e then unwelcome side--eff ects are also of alimentary charac-ter: stomach aches, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. In line, there might also occur upper respiratory tract infections, naso-pharyngeal in particular, urinary tract infections, pains of joints, or pains of extremities, however these complaints were observed more frequent when in-hibitors DPP-4 were applied, than when DPP-4 per body mass. Sitagliptin is the fi rst inhibitor of DPP-4, that was em-ployed in therapeutics. It is assessed, that it reduces HbA1c in 0,6-0,8%. Ap-plied in a one-off dose down into dige-stive system it gets absorbed irrespecti-ve of what nature previous food intake was. Sitagliptin is metabolized in liver by a small amount, chiefl y under weight of the cytochrome CYP 3A4, or CYP 2C8, in 87% voided with urine, where-as in 23% with faeces. Th e recommen-ded dosage is 100g, both as a drug of a monotherapy, and as a medicine asso-ciated with other drugs. Th e half-life of the drug is ab. 12,4h. In case of kidneys incompetence, it is advised to moderate the prescribed amount to 50mg (if GFR 30-50 ml/min) or to 25mg (if GFR<30 ml/min) and receive it once daily. Vil-dagliptin was recognized latterly. In phase 3 study, it was demonstrated, that 25-100 mg/day of vildagliptin, notwith-standing mono- or politherapies, exacts reduction of HbA1c in 0,8-1%. In turn, vildagliptin in combination with pio-glitazone appeared more eff ective, that is in 1,7-1,9%. Another study case pro-ved, that administering vildagliptin to-gether with a derivate of sulfonylurea


and one of tiazolidinedions was well tolerated and there was none of interactions, that could alter pharmakinetics of the drugs involved.

To sum up, the inhibitors of DPP-4 stand acceptable way of applying, run low risk of hypoglycemia, exceptionally deliver objectionable side-eff ects and are trouble--free to be combined with other drugs. All the fi ndings is a greatly promising alter-native to the people suff ering from diabetes round the world.

Th e medicine based on incretion hormones seems to be practical and convenient as far as the initial studies show, nonetheless we remain convinced, that further ob-servations should be more conclusive.

Sweets may pay for risk of pancreas cancer

Italian scientists found, that products of high glycemic index, for instance confectionery, white bread, white rice or potatoes, ones that expose us to impulsive surges of blood glucose, may pessi-mistically fuel risks of pancreas cancer in case of the elderly.

The researchers make aware, that these items for consumption, processed carbohydrates in particular, honey and jam among them, can be replaced with food of low glycemic index, such as vegetables and fruit, yoghurts, soya or lens, for this kind of goods exact gradual expanding of su-gar in blood and serve to save risks of the cancer.

The cancer of pancreas is a fairly rare, but exceptionally alarming form of tumour – 5-year survival rate is proved merely by 5% of patients. Thediagnosisofitisdifficulttobeachieved,sin-ce within the initial stadium of progression the afflictiondoes not deliver any symptoms apartfrom indigestion, and this is far insufficient toidentify the root cause.

In the course of latest studies, Marta Rossi from the Mario Negri Institute in Milan, she carried out a survey to review 326 persons, who suffer from pancreas cancer. The questionnaires were meant to evaluate lifestyle, state of health and eating pat-terns in the span of 2 years before they had been diagnosed. The results were compared to answers of healthy people in the clinical control group.

One third of this share of subjects, who parto-ok most of high glycemic index food were ascer-tained to stand 78% higher risks, than individuals, who followed diet of low glycemic index. Accor-dingly to Ross, the incidence is not entirely depen-dent on diabetes, obesity or smoking. She points out, that notwithstanding the fact one is a diabe-tic one is not, eating groceries of sugar rich content affects releasing of insulin and prompts cell diffe-rentiation from the pancreas parent tissue. The in-vestigatorsbelieve,thatsuperfluityofinsulinmayalso engender cancerous cellules in the organ.

FROM AMERICA...Up ti ll now, I do not know, whether obesity is a disease, one of lifestyle upshots, or a pecu-liar kind of a choice. The latt er the least I guess. I believe, that it simply becomes one of opti ons

the moment we accept it as a fact.

My friend Zibi, who I shared a flat for four yearswith, he was apt to choose. He said he did not mind his obesity and found it charming even. In spurs of passion he dined white meat, which essentially was salo aged in paprika. As a desert he served him-self a so called antidepressant deal, namely a prepack of cake. Naturally, his choice engendered out of po-werlessness in the combat with overweight. Except, he managed to surrender to it smartly and with a wit.

America, a country of the obese – a statement I came across on one an occasion. Then, an oppor-tunity to confront it came to pass. The first loca-tion in the USA I reached to was Philadelphia, the sta-te regarded as the centre of overweight population, as well as settled by Afro-Americans for the most part. An Afro-American is a politically correct term

to name black citizens. They were a good neighbourhood. Yet, it is another story.Obese America and its heart of obesity in Philadelphia. I admit, that what I witnessed there

was beyond any of my imagination. A car, Chrysler Town and Country. One of the biggest fami-ly automobiles manufactured round the world. Open wide front doors. Spacious within. And, a lady striving to get behind the wheel. Striving, since her dimensions squeezed in-between the door frames. As soon as she handles the situation it is the time to position the stomach, some bene-ath and some above the steering-wheel. Obviously, the seat pulled backwards farthest possible.


I am walking down a street. In front of me two pe-ople. Perhaps, a husband and a wife. She is of mid-dle height and slender. Him ...! If he had had a trunk he would have been an elephant. Skimpy shorts re-veal two pillars. My waistline is humbler than his thigh perimeter. I am outpacing them, and discre-etly send a peek sideways. Too baggy a shirt at sho-ulders sticks to his belly that stretches to kne-es. Trickles of sweat running down his cheeks.

A parking lot opposite to a shop. I am watching a group of giggling teenage girls. They wear scanty tops, expo-sing their tummies, and undersized skirts. Doubles of fat pour out from underneath of their garments. It was not this disgusting for the only reason they were young.At first, the sight of this dreadfully obese pe-

ople moved me deeply. What is all-encompassing in here is uncommonness in Poland. Fortunately, to say. Some time had to elapse and I accustomed to it.

Nonetheless, I kept asking myself to reason it why one single country has amassed so many of obese inhabitants ... There are the conclusions I have drawn as a foreigner.

For a start – life style, sedentary lifestyle to be precise. An average American, he or she, if uses legs it is so to be able to shift his or her body from the bed, leave it behind an arm-chair,getintouchwithhisorhervehicleandrestinanoffi-ce. Confessedly, one can spot people jogging in the morning, then again it is slim people. And, by the way of digression, what is the point of be doing so amidst the pollution we face. Maybe, there is some, to the degree they are not obese...

To continue – eating patterns. Pizza, hamburger, hot-dog, doughnut, popcorn, or chips do not favour good body profi-le. Ready-made, crammed with chemicals dishes from a lo-cal superstore ... School automats provide children with swe-ets, coca-cola or any other confectionery. It is just recent years when authorities have decided to retire them altogether with the “nourishment” content. This a huge social step to be be-come aware how threatening issues arise from civilisation.

Furthermore – obesity has its psychological background. So-mething like a way of adaptation form. Communing with those, whoareobese,makesitpossible,thatsoonerorlateroneidentifieswith the other. It is an opinion of doctors, who treat psychosomatic disorders. Then, it turns to be a vicious circle. The more fat people around us the more it is likely we will be faithful copies of them.

Some overweight is not a tragedy. However obesi-ty leads to crippledom. And, the theme of the disa-bled, the responsibility of the state and societal inter-relations I am willing to introduce in another article.

Vitamin A is essential to sustain any of healthy mucus membranes. Th e membranes are build out of two layers. Th e external lining is epithelium (ependyma), that constitu-tes milliards of cells. Th e very mucus membrane is composed of thin, elastic, expanda-ble fi bres of autonomous muscles. Th e degree how vital the ependyma is depends on re-sources of vitamin A.

Th e moment there is defi ciencies of vitamin A is when cells of ependyma harden, de-generate in form of cornifi cation and their functioning is more and more depressed, for instance the delivery of disinfectant mucus becomes insuffi cient. Such shortfalls of vita-min A prompt infections and may aff ect reins and bladder, ureters, anus, lips, nasal cavi-ties, frontal sinus, tongue, ear canal, eyes and lacrimal canal.

Vitamin A , termed as a vitamin of growth, was discovered before all the others. Th e complaints dearth of it engenders were treated as early as in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. On the strength of this vitamin our bones, teeth, soft tissues grow and develop, and manifold of glands perform as it should be. And altogether, the vitamin supports our entire immune system.

Initial stadium of vitamin A defi ciency is signalled by such symptoms as: dry skin and its exfoliation, by and large on arms and legs, ailments of digestive system (bowels), diar-rhoea, pale appetite, disorganized growth, comedown of stamina, losing body weight and general bodily sickliness; among other warning signs it might be atrophy of glands, backward dentition down to deformation of dental enamel, poor dentina and inferior pulp cavity. It is probable, that scarcities of vitamin A may lead to infertility, deformation of peripheral nerves, and may generate nephritic and urinary calculus.

Scientists believe, that shortages of vitamin A are caused by unsatisfactory supplies of this chemical compound from alimentary tract or genetic deprivation of metabolism. Th ose two symptoms require a diagnosis and professional treatments.

Another source of vitamin A defi ciencies is using some of mineral oils, spent as car-riers of vitamin A, except that they impair absorption of vitamin A down in digestive system. It is the reason why we ought not to season salads with the mineral oils. In case, we are willing to indulge this way we are better to consult it with a doctor beforehand.

What gives natural protection against bacterial infections is cleaning and disposing of damaged skin (peeling traces). We can easily guard ourselves against defi cits of vitamin A drinking raw fresh carrot juice and be safe from infections.

Vitamin A is a lipid-soluble vitamin, it does not stand water solubility. It means, that overabundance of vitamin A can not be voided with body fl uids, for example with uri-ne or perspiration, but it is stored within. Some about 958 of vitamin A units is amas-sed in liver, and some minor amounts in other tissues and organs, e.g. hypodermically, in reins or lungs.

Liver is very capacious and can accommodate these constituents even for years. Th e general idea is to maintain „hard-and fast reserve” to optimal degree, all of which neces-sitates everyday regular intakes. For instance: 250ml (a glassful) of raw fresh carrot juice comprises on average 50 000 units of vitamin A. Serving it in this way and in these amo-unts will certainly satisfy our needs on a daily basis.

Medical attention to periodontitis, infl ammatory diseases of gums and peridental tissues, comes in aid to be able to reduce blood glucose in case of diabetics type 2.

Scientists from the Edinburgh University, in cooperation with as-sociates from Great Britain and Canada, they conducted a study and examined diabetes type 1 and diabetes type 2 individuals, who were diagnosed periodontitis.

Despite the fact that both of diseases engender higher than normal glucose concentrations, they diff er in background and progression. Diabetes type 1, that barely accounts for 10% in total number of diabe-tes patients, is by and large the concern of children and youth. Th e root cause of the syndrome is defi ciency of insulin (the hormone that con-trols glucose intensities). Insulin production does not take place down to ruination of pancreas beta cells on the strength of immune system. It is one of so called auto-aggressive diseases and the moment it is dia-gnosed it necessitates insulin administration.

Diabetes type 2 more oft en than not aff ects people at age of 45-50, however there are more and more cases when it affl icts young per-sons and children. Th e predisposing cause is insuffi cient responsive-ness to insulin. Th e malady develops as a result of fat diet ill-treat and

inactivity. It is the reason why exercising is recommended, and by implication lo-sing some of body weight. Th e next phase is therapy on oral drugs and the point in time it proves unreliable patients are tre-ated with insulin.

Self-examination is decisively impor-tant and diabetics, independently, have to measure their own blood pressure, screen cholesterol and read triglycerides. All of it gives a sense of prevention aga-inst these serious complications, such as cardiovascular, renal or ocular diseases.

Today analysis shows, that attending periodontitis relieves prophylaxis of dia-betes as much as it enables reducing blo-od glucose levels. Nonetheless, it is dia-betes type 2, that answers to this depen-dability.

Th ese fi ndings substantiate the corre-lation between diseases of gums and dia-betes. And, in line with the authors, sto-matologists may play a great role in the fi eld of diabetology.

Th e researchers explain, that the bacte-ria behind periodontitis prompt infl am-mation of oral cavity, what in turn trig-gers certain chemical reactions and im-pairs insulin potency. Consequently, pe-riodontitis may impede eff orts of blood sugar testing.

Vitamin D and exposure Vitamin D and exposure Vitamin D and exposure to to to metabolic syndromemetabolic syndromemetabolic syndrome

The elderly often prove defi ciencies of vitamin D,what in one line translates into vulnerability to metabolic

syndrome..

Metabolic disorder is a set of interrelated dyna-mics, that signifi cantly upgrade risks of arterio-sclerosis and diabetes type 2, both of which engender vascular complications. Statistically in Poland, it is a concern of 20-26% of the population and af-fl icts women slightly more oft en than men.

What appears represen-tative is the fact, that the frequency of its prevalen-ce grows the older we be-come – the closer it draws to age of 60 the more re-current complaints hap-pen to be.

Marelise Eekhoff and her associates from the University Medical Cen-ter in Amsterdam, they examined 1300 individuals, all of whom were aged 60 and over, to fi nd out whether there is a correlation between metabolic symptoms and vitamin D potency.

Nearly 37% of the subjects were diagnosed metabolic syndrome in the course of the study – high blood pressure, centripetal obesity, abnormal cholesterol and glucose intensities.

Scientists observed, that people, whose reading of vitamin D was lower than 50 nanomols per one li-tre of blood (scarcity) are more liable to experience metabolic conditions, far more than individuals, who achieve it over 50 nanomols. Th is shortages of vitamin D are strictly related to two of metabolic symptoms – low strength of HDL, namely the “good” cholesterol, and abdominal obesity. In turn, the sex appeared to be of no bearing, females and males provided evidence of comparable results.

At present, the researchers, employing the same group of individuals, are going to renew the experi-ment and continue the analysis. “It is vital to ascertain it precisely what kind of an immediate eff ect vita-min D has on advance of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases”.

Inflammations, that take place in thedigestive system can affect immune re-sponses and consequently aggravate the probability of diabetes type 1. Dr Mikael Knip, a diabetologist from Finland appro-ves the opinion. Diabetes type 1 is consi-dered to be one of the auto immunologi-cal diseases, that arise from disregulation of immune cells. As early as possible, the cells are supposed to learn to distinguish what is extraneous constituents, like viral or bacterial ones, and what is innate tis-sues and harmless food agents. Otherwi-se immune cells become confused and at-tack their own tissues, initiating auto im-munological diseases, or react excessively to neutral chemicals, giving ground to al-lergies.

In case if diabetes type 1, immune cells impair their own cells in pancreas, it is where insulin is produced. Insulin is a hor-mone responsible for metabolism of gluco-se,thedeficiencyofwhichengendersdan-gerous glucose upsurges, what in turn le-ads to damage of tissues and organs. In his previous tests on animals, dr Scott demon-strated likewise, that low in wheat diets re-duces risks of diabetes type 1 incidence.

Some Canadian scientists observed, that ab-normal immune responsiveness to proteins of wheat may contribute to progression of diabe-tes type 1, the type that generally prevails in chil-dhood and is not prompted by obesity or physi-cal inactivity. The researchers from the University of Medicine in Ottawa examined 42 persons, dia-betes type 1 patients, and ascertained, that half of the group subjected proved anomalous sensitivi-ty to wheat proteins, what led to intensive cell di-visionandintensifiedsecretionofpro-inflamma-tory proteins. Reactions to other nutritional anti-gens, for instance hen egg protein, gluten (present in wheat also), phytohemagglutinin (kidney-be-an is a rich source of), were not so highly develo-ped. What turned out was, that all examined indi-viduals, who effected nonstandard receptiveness to wheat proteins, they all had the HLA-DR4 gene, the one that is interrelated with diabetes type 1. The person in command of the analysis, dr Fraser Scott, asserts, that human body needs to establish immunological balance, so as to be able to safe-guard itself against extraneous cells and particles and not to be destructive to own tissues or over re-active to environment at the same time. It is parti-cularly challenging in bowels, where great quanti-ties of nourishment and bacteria arrive at. Scott ac-cents, that this case study shows, that some of ge-nes predispose to hypersensitivity towards whe-at and other food components down in intestines.

On the same basis, diabetes patients can feel free to be eating strawberries, for the simple fact the produce supplies fructose for the most part, the compound that liver is capa-ble to extract from intestines and process it into glucose wi-thout insulin.

Strawberries are a palatial choice since they off er just 40 ca-lories per 100 grams, and not an iota of fats, to add they teem with pectin and their tiny grains develop intestinal peristal-sis. Moreover, the fruit temper appetite, and in one inhibit su-gars to be absorbed. For the content of iron strawberries are benefi cial for our blood. Th e diuretic quality helps to cleanse body system away from toxins. Again, protein-digesting bro-melaine together with fat-processing enzymes improve global digestion. To mention household modes of cosmetics, there is a variety of beauty fruit pulp masks one can enjoy – whitening (fruit fl esh mixed with olive oil), refreshing (fruit tissue combi-ned with tea and bee honey), or antibacterial-and-moisturizing (fruit soft tissue jointly with face cream). Equally, crushed fruit serves treating freckles and discolouration. In last word, it mi-ght be a kind of domestic dental nursing to rub some fruit onto gums, so as to achieve teeth strengthened.

So they say ..that if you divide a strawberry in halves and share it with someone, then you will fall in love one with another ...

Th is red, succulent, delicious fruit was a symbol of Gre-ek goddess of love, actually by reason of the very colour and shape. However, this image of summer was bred in non--natural conditions. Th e innovative outgrowth appeared in 18th century, when fragaria virginiana and fragaria chilo-ensis were hybridized and introduced from North America and South America to Europe. Th is genetic cross gave rise to a new species of fruit – garden strawberry (fragaria ana-nassa). It could happen so thanks to the king Louis XVI of France, who traded the fragarias in, and entrusted them to his botanist, somebody by the name of Duchesne, so as to let it be raised in his estate of Versailles. Nonetheless, it was the English, who have the lead in the fi eld. Still, strawberries be-came more and more accepted, initially as an elegant appeti-zer round the tables of magnates, then widespread popular.

Altogether, the produce aff ords a great many of dietetic and health-promoting qualities. It is a rich source of vita-min C – we can satisfy our daily requirement for it in 20 pieces of this unusually aromatic fruit. To say, defi cien-cy of this vitamin weakens body immune system, upgra-des cholesterol concentrations in blood or may engender such serious complaints as scurvy. Furthermore, strawber-ries comprise quantities of other vitamins: K, B2, PP, inc-luding carotene, which is provitamin A. Th ese chemical substances enhance functioning of nervous system, eye-si-ght, as well as physiologically regulate cholesterol and blo-od sugar intensities. Also, the fruit delivers valuable mi-nerals: iron, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, or co-balt, all of which are essential to uphold teeth and bones in good physical shape. Still more, strawberries work aga-inst bacteria, what takes place on the strength of phyton-zides (just like horseradish, garlic and onion generate it).

Apart from the prophylaxis strawberries serve, the-re are treatments of diseases the fruit contributes to. Owing to alkalinizing and diuretic properties strawber-ries are recommended for rheumatism, arthritic com-plaints, as well as for insuffi ciency of reins or liver. .

DO NOT BE AFRAIDOF YOURSELF

Journey to the roots … Some of us happened to learn diabe-

tes as early as in childhood, and have been living it ever since, however being that young makes it nigh possible to be able to comprehend, that the disease is “life-bound”. Others, in turn, were to experience it and face it being teena-gers, adolescents, at some point of youth rebellion, or in the course of discove-ring the nature of the world, all when it is the time for far more important is-sues. Th ose, who befell ill as infants are actually not able to recall it what diabe-tes-free existence means, they see it as it is “always to be”. Nonetheless, in case of each one of these individuals, the af-fl iction determines their future that is to come, whether it is societal or private conduct and subsistence.

It is when patterns and mechani-sms of behaviour form and we evolve it into adulthood and act upon. Regret-tably, it oft en challenges psychological adequacies. We, adults, try to confront life complexities and attempt to aff ord them as good as one can, and it comes to pass, that we repeat the mistakes, end up in identically diffi cult situations. For instance, we involve anew with the same type of a partner to go down aga-in, or we entangle in duplicate con-

fl icts at work as before. We tend to for-get, that the very source of these intrica-cies is deeply-ingrained in our babyho-od and in the incidence of the disease. Th e way we perceive ourselves being in poor health is what shapes our life in all dimensions. And, if we are tied in with inferior emotions, then we are to carry eff ects of anxiety, frustration, mistrust or anger all the days and years long. We make eff orts to improve, but somehow we are not capable of it.

Maybe, it is worthwhile to recognize it as a challenge life off ers. We do know it, don’t we, how it goes in fairytales – the hero is subjected to an ordeal, and then has to meet it head-on, equally in the combat with the enemy and with the very him himself.

.Passing through seven

of mountains and down along seven rivers …Th e equipment we move out with

is of our parents’ profi le. Because, it is not only the child, who has to familia-rize with the disease and understand it when it prevails. It is also mother and father, who are supposed to be respon-sible enough and guide through the re-ality of family. Th e role they play in the

actuality of their children is critical, for the line of upbringing is what children are taught and embody, what in turn is bound to be mirrored in the degree of their independence, their trust towards themselves and all of other potentials.

Th ere are parents, who did not he-sitate to give children wide open doors into the world, thereby giving courage, liberating them from complexes dise-ase engenders, schooling them directly so as not to feel “abnormal”, but nourish one’s self-esteem. Children, who happe-ned to receive such salutary lessons, or at any rate they could draw from paren-tal example, they certainly were well--prepared to cross the threshold of ma-turity. Such persons, saved from fear and alive with confi dence, can pro-ve it true that notwithstanding affl ic-tion their world is their oyster. In folk stories, the hero appears to be this the third, the youngest and the least quick--witted, but one following his heart and being insightful towards others. Th e in-ner system of values aff ords him to be able to make apposite decisions, to en-gage into worthful relationships, to be capable to know right from wrong, to off er help and support, whereas ena-bles to be approachable to receive like-wise. Th anks to his attitude, the hero


bravely fulfi ls any trial the destiny im-poses upon him, and at the twilight of the journey, what in legends symboli-zes inner process and development, he achieves his humanity completed. He meets his identity and oneness and then knows it all out what he had been ori-ginated for – this mythical motive was epitomized in happy ends, such as win-ning a princess and gaining a kingdom, and “living happy ever aft er” was no-thing else than living wisdom and self--realization.

Simply diff erent situation is when the hero is not as much outfi tted. Ad-mittedly, the course of his life compro-mises less problems, nonetheless is si-milarly full of meanders, and still ne-cessitates sojourning seven mountains and seven rivers. Still again, his fate is to blend with mistakes and complications.

Th ose children, who had not been provided with a particular parental “supply” of self-confi dence, and were tolerated to be overwhelmed with the-ir anxieties and complexes, typify such heroes. Th ese people have the makings, but somehow are in need of help to face adversities of life. Th ey have to struggle years by the sweat of one’s brow to di-sentangle ties and knots from childho-od, so as to recreate their autonomy and candour. Actually, it is the very parents, who uphold constant apprehensions to perceive their children healthy and se-cure, what saddles off spring instead. Children “inherit” these anxieties, in-corporate them and become somewhat confi ned. We can presume, that parents justify a number of their unmerited choices on behalf of concern for chil-dren, but are not aware or prefer not to see it, that in fact they do a harmful duty.

Th ere should not be any consent for the situation, when trepidation depri-ves children of the most precious expe-rience, which is childhood, then adole-scence. It is senseless to outlaw children under a veil of diabetes truth and keep them sheltered. It is undeniable, that

coming to a decision can not be always easy for parents (whereas any of us can assuredly recollect this irritating phrase “you will understand the moment you become a parent”), however it would be rewarding to take a stand from perspec-tive of a child and recognize his essence. Isolating, over-protectiveness, hampe-ring independence is utterly the rever-se what children need. Again, far more gratifying it proves to encourage, be supportive or plainly be there for them.

� e falcon on the tree and beneath the tree the well

Th e aptitude to come in for reality is appreciably related to the degree of self--reliance. Alienation or escapism most oft en stems from low self-appraisal and lack of skill to handle everyday pro-blems. In turn, one who trusts his or her own judgment and derives satisfaction from being in the middle of the matters is certainly far from separating oneself. Such a person eagerly faces life, sensibly draws conclusions and is ready to bu-ild valuable relationships with people.

Young diabetes patients, wanting self-confi dence and faith, wrestling to accept the disease, make great ef-forts to cope with anxieties and esta-blish hearty, moral bonds with others. Among observable facts there is one, that the youth yearn to ascertain the-ir own identity in answer to the me-dical condition. Two such persons call to my mind now. Th ey represen-ted these radical, extreme standpoints.

One of the girls dated many a boy-friend, whereas each of her relation-ships run the same course of aff airs. Th ere was always the same point in time or say the same threshold she ne-ver managed to surpass. Th e problem was, that she was unable to base a part-nership on trust, simply for the reason she did not expose any so as to share it. However, when the critical moment drew nearer, namely the time to be re-

ady to reveal the fact of the disease, she habitually broke up with the other half. She tended to act as if the strategy or say the game amused her, but one day she owned up deep in herself, that the psy-chological barrier was a serious setback. We lost touch and I do not know who she is and where she is now. In turn, the other person was an attractive, outspo-ken secondary school student, who in contrast and to the point of exaggera-tion, informed everyone from corner to corner she is a diabetes patient. Most oft en than not it was rather ostentatio-us of her to engage coincidental pas-sengers or passer-bys to manifest what an extensive “diabetes self-help ma-nual” was, to this extent even that she



was more than willing to sta-ge routines of blood screening and insulin in-

jections then-and-there. Needless to say it was oddly sensational. While the onlookers tended to turn shocked, she was in her ele-ment to provoke them and exact some attention or some brief co-nversations. Perhaps, she regarded such an approach as a kind of a mission to go round and educate populace on diabetes, espe-cially when people were a great deal behind the subject matter. In fair chance, it was tests and trials she herself felt like facing up to ?

� e return via water of life

I can remember my own anxiety and uncertainty as soon as it be-came obvious I had no alternative but to reveal my “secret”. Not be-ing ready to “stutter it out” I am a diabetic if truth to be told, and to be told to my best friend of she-friends, I instantly anticipated her to desert me and dreaded my world to collapse. I was literally pa-ralysed, still, we set off to walk round the locality three times repe-


atedly, and then I could discover my fears groundless. My companionships with males were occasions, when it all appeared easier for me, and I can recollect three

cases in point, when I happened to meet three dif-ferent masculine airs. An individual, who I was

aff ectionate towards, acted it out self-intereste-dly, attributing my disease to his own line of

life dilemmas. Th e other, he brushed it asi-de, to be precise he ignored it without a re-fl ection, what a challenge it was for me to own up. Lastly, the gent, who defi ed his initial apprehension and managed to be all with me then, arrived on the scene to be Th e One.

It might be discerned by some people, that the actuality of having confi dence in somebody is illusive and misleading.

As far as I am concerned, I do not think it must be a rule. On the contrary, we have to

have courage to take up the gauntlet, even if it seems to be diving into a deep void. It is

a veritable fact, that the moment we leave our-selves open is when we become more vulnera-

ble, however the situation when we are unable to be free to trust others gives us pale chances to be able

to found interpersonal bonds and intimate relation-ships. It is because mutual reliance makes it possible to express one’s personality unreservedly, what in turn awards space to authentic love. Naturally, one can not be perfectly assured, that commitment to others will never be answered in betrayal or faced with disappo-intment. Still and again, it does not mean to abandon this way of life and turn sceptical ever since. We do need intimacy and it should remain unquestionable. Nonetheless, genuine satisfying relationships are to go together with understanding and shared respect. And above all, it is the very us to be good and perceptive towards the very selves, what is the most challenging task we “have to” rise to. “If it is not me to be my best friend, who then?” – the simplicity of the lyrics, for example performed in nursery schools among other recipients, is inviting indeed.

And what a fairy-land destination our hero has re-ached? Well, what he shows us is the personal position within which he is able to lead his life independently, as far, off course, as the source of his happiness is his own heart. He does not make believe any more, he is not afraid any longer, he does not seek any escape – all this for the reason he has become himself...

Do you often experience sensations of tingling, numbness or itching?Does any of it relent the moment you set your extremity in motion?

Why not to �ind it out, whether or not you happen to have the medical condition of the restless legs syndrome.

It is just fati gue...A good number of people,

who go through the symptoms introduced above, they lay the blame on the stress of everyday life and necessitated by it we-ariness, and that is why they are anxious to be paid no at-tention to. Misjudgement! The restless legs syndrome is an unfamiliar medical pattern in-deed, therefore even general practitioners find problems tobe able to identify it. None the less, we can learn or at least talk about it..

In case, you are uncer-tain whether you suff er from the restless legs syndrome or not, you are welcome to solve it with answers for the

following questi ons:•

RESTLESS LEGS

SYNDROME

. I can feel ants all over my bodyItisverydifficulttoidentifythesymptoms,thatareassociatedwiththerestless

legs syndrome. The sensations are most frequently described as lack of feeling, and itchiness (as if there were ants underneath the skin), any of which tend to pair with irresistible urge to change positions or be moving around. These unwelcome sensa-tionsoriginatefromthedeeppartsofmuscles,chieflyfromthosebetweenkneeandankle, rather than from feet, thighs, arms or hands. It may come to pass unilaterally, but it is more likely to take place bilaterally. The expressions of the syndrome can be strenuous indeed. Suppose, there is a business conference and the chairman turns incited to take wing out of his seat so as to briskly bend or straighten his leg. Em-barrassing, is it not? Equally burdensome situation is, when we are willing to go out,supposetocinema,theatre,orweareonthepointofdrivingorflyingaplane.

Basically, the indispositions have their effect at some stage of rest, name-ly the time while we are sitting or having a lie. During the daytime, the lon-ger we remain static the more probable it is, that these distempers will ari-se. Still, the discomforts discussed take place mainly in the evening and by ni-ght, what exacts repose nigh impossible. We are not able then to have an unin-terrupted sleep, plainly for the strength of impulses to get up and stretch. Like-wise, tossing and turning in bed might be so persistent, that we are simply bo-und to stand up to be walking a while round the room. And, it is when the od-dly sensations go by. Except, what passes by altogether is the precious time desi-gned for hours of darkness. Then, in the morning, doziness and tiredness are to meet us. Hence, the syndrome of restless legs occasionally engenders insomnia.

Ifeachoneofyouranswersprovesaffirmative,itissufficientto establish the diagnosis, that you qualify as a patient of the syndrome. In this situation, you are well-advised to turn to a neurologist, who will expertise it beyond any further doubt and will help to adapt adequate treatment. It is important also to in-formyourdoctorindetailswhatspecificcomplaintsyousufferfrom. This is vital in actual fact, for there are no chemical tests or a kind of examination contemporary medicine can provide in order to distinguish the ailment.

For the time being, the researchers presume it is disorders of dopamine brain system to be the key cause behind the upset-ting body sensations. They found it also, that it is females rather than males to be ill with the malady. What is more, the symp-toms may stay in force since early childhood up to advanced se-nility. Additionally, 60% of cases is presupposed to be genetical-lyconditioned.However,thereareinstances,whendeficienciesof iron prompt the incidence of these distempers. That is the re-ason, why women face it during pregnancy. To add, diabetes and nephropathy patients belong to this group of risk as well.

Treatment.3 therapy aspects.

1. Life style adjustment is thought to be based on: regular physical exercising on a daily basis, banding legs or using compressive stockings, easing consumption of coffee, alco-

hol and nicotine, and observing sleep hygiene (airing bedro-ombeforegoingtosleep,fixedhoursofnightresting).Plus,

what we recommend before bedtime is: having a walk, stret-ching legs, working out some push-ups, shaking feet for some seconds,massaginglegs,thelatterofwhichcanbefulfilledinthe freedom of choices: one can wash legs either in warm or cold water, then can apply cold or warm compress on, to lie

down oneself on one side with a pillow in-between the knees.

2. Medical attention to coexisting ailments (irondeficiency,diabetes).

3. Pharmaceutical approach .

We, people, experience it on many an occasion, that we are not satisfyingly able to communicate with one another, win di-

viding opinions or accept shared demeanours. What it breeds is cross-purposesandconflicts,whereasnotasoulcantell,ifconfron-tation is to come. We expend a great deal of time to make others be-lieve it is them who labour under a mistake, just because they stand a different point of view. Practically any of us nurture the expecta-tion, that our command have got to be recognised, and with the aim of realizing it we make attempts to “remodel” others. It applies in the same way to personal partnerships, as well as to broader fami-lyrelationshipsorsocietalliaisons.Thetimewefindourselvesde-feated once again anew, we feel disappointed, fatigued, simply hel-pless. It resembles the tilt at windmills in actual fact. Even so, there is solid dynamics behind it.

As early as a handful centuries before our era, Hippocrates sys-temised the theory, that every human being proves a different

type of personality. It means, that two persons, who happen to face comparable circumstances given, each one may act in utterly dif-ferent a manner, driven by singular perceptions and private priori-ties, etc.

Anyone of us stands a unique combination of respective natu-res, but there is always one type, that dominates and governs

our being. None the less, it is comforting to state it, that there is no such a thing as better or worse selfhoods. In order to pinpoint the meanings the types bear relevant adjectives can be employed. The-re you go:

Now, the listing pictures the fact, that assets are to be found whoever the character might be. Familiarising with them

and leaning towards particular plus points is how we can ma-nage demerits they embody altogether. Everyone on this earth personifiesbothofpositiveandnegative,soweneedtobeawa-re, that the latter is not the dice loaded against us or them. Accor-dingly, we can move on and review the attributes of each type.

Outgoing sanguineThiskindofhumantemperamentexemplifieseffusiveopen-

ness and vibrant insight one can stand. Emotional mind-set of such a person leads the line for all time. The occasions we happentobenexttothisnatureintheflesh,wesensebeyondanydoubtitisasanguine.Heorsheshineswithflowerynarra-tive, is easy to enjoy life on the whole. Such an individual is gi-fted to be generating interest and tends to reach moments and places of this or that commotion. His or her heartedness gives the impression of naivety. All people around are perceived as friends, so this type is likely to be physically touching others in direct contact, even though it is not generally accepted it spe-aks itself as a basic need of close relationships..Sanguine is somewhat attention-seeking. With the inten-tion of gaining popularity such an individuality ventures va-rieties of positions, however disregards realities out and wi-thin him. A person of this character cares to be supporti-ve, still neglecting consequences at the same time. Nonethe-less, one can count on his or her resourcefulness and eager-ness wherever people are ineffective. Sanguine have the im-port to inspire milieus, what grants the person standing of a leader, no matter if it is out of one’s charisma or aggrandizing.

All those traits of character may be diversely received by diversely versed personalities in any diverse circumstan-

ces. Stretching angles from whichever of sides may be ardu-ous indeed. That is the reason why we should keep it in mind, that a sanguine treats consequences as last of issues. Also, tru-sting his or her infallibility, or predisposition towards exag-geration, and chaotic spirit, necessitates potentials of pa-tience. Nevertheless, understanding and appreciating san-guine types rewards with their optimism and enthusiasm.

Idealistic melancholicThe character is the very opposition to what sanguine indi-

viduals correspond to. He or she is well-conducted, dutiful, and mindful of consequences. This kind of personality values beauty, gusto and culture. We should be rather grateful in the respect of these qualities. In pair, a person of this type embo-dies analytical and composed mind. In this case, everything is to be considered and planned in advance. He or she attends er-rands as nothing can be faulted, and it is what he expects from others around. Someone of such nature is not able to function when subjected to chaos.

At work, melancholic type is apt to observe details to minuteness, tables, charts, any-

thing has to be in place. He or she is exceptional-ly demanding towards oneself and others likewi-se,andmoreoftenthannotisveryefficient.Theaim behind is perfection. Such an individual is talented and creative. His or her self-realization develops on artistic grounds, where one can sha-reingeniouspersonalflairsorlovelinessofworldnature. A melancholic can be unusually sensiti-ve and considerate. This type tends to be a good friend, advise-giver, what works on the strength of listening to others and being compassionate.

Still, the personality of the kind proves many acontradiction.Whetheritissuccessesorfia-

scos he or she is bound to experience all deeply. While, states of depression are not any uncom-mon. What is more, self-esteem is fairly in need. Time and again, we perceive this type as quite uninteresting and discouraging. One can effor-tlessly offend such a person. Not surprisingly then, a melancholic has to trim those too high expectations and learn from sanguines how to relax and let go. Again and again, our civilisation would not progress without melancholics. What remains for us is to be thankful for their contri-bution into our life and try to make them more cheerful in exchange.

Nonetheless, the most vital objective in front of us is to discover and comprehend the

core nature of ourselves. In reality, it is futile to engage a sanguine into complicated, precision- challenging tasks by brute force. The same it sho-uld not take aback, that a melancholic perfectio-nist does not complement a role of a ringleader. Taking into consideration the temperament types as such we have to regard it, that people embody amalgamation of them all.

In essence, anyone of us for common good is be-lieved to be able to recognise personalities of

others, for the simple raison d’être it serves abi-lity to comprehend one’s own on an equal fo-oting. It is what can liberate us from time-consu-ming and energy-wasting struggling against so-cial harm and sense of rejection. Each and eve-ry one is unique and only one of its kind. Eve-ry single one person contributes something to the existence. And, all in all, multiplicity by itself fa-vours evolution and opportunities, so whoever it comestobeistofindone’smatchlessdestination.Ewa Andrzejewska

The opening scream of a human baby, then at the very moment it meets the world, procla-

The giant pharmaceutical business expands further still each time a new infant draws its

first breath. These days, the first person whomwe see at the threshold is a doctor. And again, the last person, one who is to confirm our de-ath, is a doctor. Medicine is our everyday life. The reasons behind it are of various nature. Gre-

at, as far as it is no more than prophylaxis. Then aga-in, as preventative approach to health is in great need, it regrettably does take place in moneyed families alo-ne. Another problem is, that we go to consult a doctor when we are really forced to. Too often it is too late. And then, doctors might be unable to do a thing. And, we have no alternative but seeking substitute solutions. t

For instance, we turn to accept unconventional me-dicine, or, perish the thought, we encounter not he-

alers, but cheaters. It is common knowledge, that me-dicine, as a nexus of sciences, developed from archaic herbalism and folk practices of shamans and witch-do-ctors. As far the healers and whichever witch-doctors naturally belong to the era they have always belonged, doctors of our times labour the chasm between then and now through ages of experiments and studies. Ne-vertheless, there are inscrutable entities in this world, or at least those, that can not be answered in logic.

Countries and homes round the Earth, cultures and religions, all them offer wealth of medica-

ments and healing methods. Time and again my-sterious ones. At times awe-inducing. Equally, ones verging on mysticism. Whirl-dancing Dervishes. The performers, clad in white lengthy robs and tall ethnic hats, can twirl their bodies pivotally no less than dozen minutes solid and reach a mental sta-te of trance. Though, it is not what is particularly unusual.Dervishes aremembersof Sufi fraterni-ty.SufismisanIslamicmysticalorientationaimingthe grace of extrasensory touch with the presen-ce of the Divine. The members of the confraternity are blessed with paranormal powers. For example, they can voluntarily mutilate themselves and the wounds heal as immediately as painlessly. Jaman N. Hussein, a university physician from Baghdad, has been investigated this phenomena since early eighties. The sect of Dervishes he is predominantly concerned is Tariga Kasnazaniyyah, what transla-tes into English THE WAY KNOWN TO NOONE..

In the course of the study, what took place in Am-man in Jordan, 28 members of the sect skewered

their tongues, chins, stomachs, arms, chests. They bit and swallowed glass and blades. Further, they hammered poniards down the skull flanks andunder the eyes. The dervishes clutched glowing--hot plates in their hands and mouths. They were to expose their tongues to poisonous bite of snakes andscorpions,ortoburntheirbodieswithflamingbrands. The wounds healed and evanesced within seconds. The subjects did not manifest a sign of pain. In the face of contaminated objects used there was not incidences of infections. All the way long the dervishes were conscious and physiological te-sts on them did not prove any aberrations. The in-vestigators claim, that the supernatural faculties of theSufisareneitherinnatenoracquiredviatrance.

Alike, they are not sacred signs for the chosen. Theyaresimplyconferredbyaspecificallyse-lected master in a 3 minute act of dabbing his hand against postulant’s head. In conclusion, the scrutiny reveals, that we do not observe a marvel of a variant state of consciousness or an internal power, but of an external power in point of fact. Curious indeed, that dervi-shes are not able to heal accidental wounds.

In the circles of contemporary science, the the-sisonexternalpowersorunidentifiedener-

Whereas, the experimenta-tors explain, that the leading motivation was generating of some material scientists could elaborate. Also, they aspired, they still do, to provide access of the self-healing aptitudes to general public. To reflect it, say, there is theSchoolofSufiArtsinPoland,whichwasof-ficiallyestablishedin1982.ItisanaffiliateofConfraternity of Purity from India.

In word, there are a great deal of extraordi-nary and enigmatic phenomena all over the

four corners of the world. Sadly, some share of them is merely deception of sundry con arti-sts. Nevertheless, this kind of singularities is easy to decipher, for it transpires to turn an effortlessprofit.Still,thereareconsummatelydeeper wonders, as those portrayed above. It is worth a merit to ponder them and make at-temptstofindthetruthstheyenvelop.Thevo-luminous scholarship of medicine gives hope to millions. However, life teaches us inces-santly, while science is to keep the pace. If we mention natural death we mean it decease out of old age. It is when human body fails on the strength of exploitation. These days however, we die down to diseases. To awaken for a brief moment and realize how trivial we are and what imperfection knowledge stands.

ANTI-DIABETIC GRAPES

Th e news bulletin EurekAlert has published the results of a research, and reported that grapes prove to reduce risks of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

Scientists of the Michigan University dis-cerned it, that diets rich in the fruit may safe-guard against metabolic syndrome, which is one of indications of arteriosclerosis and diabe-tes type 2. It has been estimated, that the prob-lem is a concern of 50 million Americans.

Th e valuable properties of grapes are attrib-uted to phytochemicals, namely vegetal active substances, that perform antioxidation func-tions.

Th e scientists conducted an experiment in the course of which they administered pow-dered blend of green, red and black grapes to rats, that were thought to tend to gain weight. Next to the fruit fusion the animals received high-fat food refl ecting the American style of eating patterns. Th en, the rats were matched up against rats of clinical control group, ones that did not consume pulverized grapes.

Th ree months passed by, and it appeared, that the rats from the fi rst testing group aff ord-ed aortal pressure abated and triglycerides re-duced in number. Th is, in turn, eff ected re-covery of heart functioning and upgrading of glucose tolerance. In one, none of body weight changes was observed.

Despite the fact the trial was carried out on rats, the researchers do not hesitate to recom-mend grapes to humans.

- Toning down the risk factors may inhibit progression of diabetes and heart diseases, or at least may relieve the conditions. At any rate, it is believed to contribute and lighten the load of growing population of patients societies face – states dr Mitchell Seymour, the author of the study.

A cup of Brazilian mint tea is considered to embody analgesic properties, such as those we fi nd in commercial painkilling medicaments, the results of a study suggest.

Crenata Hyptis is advised by Brazilian healers from time immemorial, for it natu-rally fi ghts headaches, stomach aches, just as fever and fl u. A panel of experts from the Newcastle University was able to prove it on mice, that the ancient were in the right.

Th e scientists assumed the challenge to re-enact the olden traditional methods of treat-ments as faithfully as is humanly possible. In order to do so, they surveyed Brazilian socie-ty to fi nd it out how mint is to be prepared and what quantities are aimed to be consumed.

Th ey learned, that the customary manner was brewing dried leaves within the time of 30 minutes. Th e concoction was meant to freshen and then served to the ill.

Th e researchers discovered, that the doses of the herb ascertained by the antique he-alers generated palliative eff ects as good as those of synthetic aspirin Indometacin. Some further clinical tests on mint are planned with the purpose to attest it pain relieving. Th e head of the search, Graciela Rocha said:: „“From the dawn of history humans have ne-ver ceased to explore organic potentials to treat medical discomforts. It has been assessed, that 50 000 of plants is employed in medicinal use all over the globe. Our team of profes-sionals was only to provide authorized evidence, that this aromatic herb a� ords actual pa-inkilling qualities and may be applied to all comers, as synthetic drugs are.” Even the se-archer herself admits, that she can remember mint she was given when she was a child..

“� e tea is not much � avoursome, it tastes somewhat like sage, then again pills and tablets never feel appetizing, do they?”, Rocha adds.

In line with Beverly Collet from the Chronic Pain Policy Coalition, auxiliary studies are essential so as to be able to identify all of the chemical components, that ease pain. She does not deny the study is interesting and originates hopes, that a new painkilling agent can be introduced in a near future.

The research was published in the magazine“Acta Horticulturae”

What is hypoglycaemia?

It is a bodily state, when blood glucose intensity comes down to abnormally low levels. Hypoglycaemia in its full dimensions prevails the moment glucose oscilla-tesbelow40mg/dl,whereasthefirstsymptomstakeplaceatthepointlowerthan50mg/dl.Diabetespatientsmayexperiencethesymptomsassoonasglucosefluc-tuates around 60 mg/dl.

What are the warning signs of hypoglycaemia?

The most common are: shivering of hands, yearning food, quickened heart beat, confluentperspiration,anxiety,apathy,unfoundedaggression.

Can hypoglycaemia be precarious?

The question is not if it can be, but how serious it can be. All human body cells needenergyinformofglucose.Thosemostsensitivetosugarinsufficiencyarene-rvous ones. It is because they have no capacity to store glucose and die away as a re-sult. Consequently, brain is the organ pressurized to the greatest an extent.

Are all the episodes of hypoglycaemia equally dangerous?

If there is an alarming decreasing of blood sugar during the daytime, brain is able to “warn” us and generates symptoms quoted above. Then, we are ready to co-unteract, for instance with liquid glucose intakes. Night hypoglycaemia outbreaks are more hazardous – they are often placid or just slightly disturbing, so we do not get prompted to awake to neutralize them. It is in the morning when headache or general body disruption tells us what had happened throughout the night.

Diabetes manifests itself with hi-gher glucose concentrati ons in blo-od. If such a health conditi on conti -nues to last years, it impairs body sys-tem and exposes to risks of cardiova-scular, renal, eye-sight disorders and diseases... Therapy in this case me-ans radical adaptati on steps in respect of life style led, diet observed, phar-macological discipline and necessi-ty of insulin injecti ons. All of this is in-tended to be able to achieve euglyce-mia. However, diabetes pati ents are aware, that dangerous diffi culti es may arise on the strength of other dyna-mics. Parti cularly health-threatening or even threatening life is hypoglycaemia, what stands for blood sugar defi ciency.

These are signs of alert our brain “sends out” to inform us we are in jeopardy. They are a kind of stimuli to mobilise body defences and our preventive conduct.

May physical acti vity trigger hypoglycaemia?

Extensive, highly demanding body exercising (jogging, biking) may be the oc-casion of dangerous losses of glucose in blood even in case of people, who are not diabetics.

Do diabetes type 2 pati ents run the risk?

Those, who are endangered far more than others are individuals receiving in-sulin. To be precise, it is diabetics type 1 who ought to be on the qui vive. Still, diabetes type 2 patients stand this potential of risk as well, particularly when theyaretreatedoninsulinorsomespecificoralmedicines(derivatesofsulfony-lurea).

Can pregnancy actuate hypoglycaemia?

Yes, it can. There are certain instances, when yet-to-be born baby absorbs great a lot of mother’s glucose leaving her without it.

Suppose one uses alcohol?

The substance impairs liver activity and its capacity of glucose supply, masking the malfunction at the same time..

How can we prevent hypoglycaemia? The critical point in this respect is

an adequate personalized diet. Also, as a provisional measure we can equ-ip ourselves with liquid insulin or sweet drinks. One of relatively new solutions is standardized snacks of prolonged carbohydrate release. For example, Extend Bar bites liberate carbohydrates within up to 9 hours, what affords protection against hy-poglycaemia equally during the day-time as throughout nights. To add, the nibbles exact the very 75% reduc-tion in night-time rate of incidences. The bars do not comprise sugar and gluten, so diabetes patients can be free to adapt it among other food in-takes.

Dear Editorial Team

So far, diabetes mellitus has been illustrated and explained in broad an extent indeed, whereas I would like to ask, whe-ther there were instances of individuals ever depicted, who claimed the disease to have restored their health. No, it is not a slip of the tongue. I am one of the kind.

It was as per usual: family duties, job, everyday responsibilities. My healthiness “in accord with my age”. To point it stra-ight in line: blood sugar read normal. At any rate, it was what general practitioners assured me with. Now, I am aware it was, but upper limit of normal. Even so, I grew fond of the term “norm”, at least to be at ease to be able to justify my lack of inte-rest in such a prosaic issue as sugar. Obviously, I had heard of diabetes hardships people face, but myself felt safe proving ty-pical sugar concentrations. Some time passed, and some odd medical problems transpired: light-headedness, asthenia... For me then it was mere fatigue, privation of time, etc. I could admit how advantageous it is to “slow down”, to shi� diet dimen-sions from “quantities” to “qualities”, to keep oneself � t, except I was focused on more important matters. Anyway, the clini-cal � ndings were all � ne. Actually, they used to be. More and more complaints began to be my concern. It was when a sim-ple re� ection told me to oblige my GP to conduct further check ups.

What a bolt from the blue? Me diabetes-stricken! Are the medical results erroneous or not at all? None the less, I must have had some positive thinking encoded, for there on my way I happened to get in touch with a doctor diabetologist, who was lo-vable and competent in one. During the � rst consultation she gave me space to cry my � ll and then a� erwards she was able to withstand this worst phase “Why me?”. � is was the moment when she stated: We are out of the woods – the time to get down to work and it should be better and better. A discovery! It is me to come to a decision, whether to bring this disinterest in health to an end and break this passive tying in with what fortune o� ers. And, if truth to be told, diabetes arrived on the scene challenging. Diet, physical activity (will I be strong enough?), medications, among which the dreadful word insulin, all altogether. Family and their support is absolutely vital as it is, however I did care also to share any achievements with my do-ctor. � e way she tended to praise me before was inspiring to be better still. It might be perceived as infantile, but in fact was a source of great motivation. Regrettably, we are more likely to be unmindful of those values, then to come to appreciate them.

Now, the improvements: many an inscrutable condition has ceased, blood sugar – regularly screened to be in norm, insu-lin and drugs belong to the past (excepting one small preventative pill), body weight loss of 7-8 kg (a miracle!)

And, some of astonishing conclusions:1. It is possible to survive eating less but more frequently2. It is not only diabetes patients who drink non-sugar co� ee3. � e market selection of wholemeal bread is more plenteous than it is of white bread4. Biking being aged 50 something is not to render you deceased5. It is fairly enjoyable to go out, do a thing, instead of idling down an armchair – diabetes still on your shoulder!6. Taking care of yourself favours well-being of your family and the milieuAnd the fact I do carry my personal glucometer? � ere is many other belongings in my bag that go in pair! With respect to all this I have my right to assert it, that diabetes enabled me to return and head the desirable choice of my

health. I can feel I hold the reins. Attention please: I am in command both of myself and the disease. I do not know, if it is comfortable or not, but will learn this. To date, it has been barely one and half years since the � rst insulin injection.

I wish all diabetes were on their guard. It is not worthwhile to brush aside anything what is beyond our comprehension. Let us encourage those, who are reluctant to be examining blood sugar. In word, we do need to familiarise with problems, for then, when revealed, they are not that scary anymore.

Everything considered, we are well-advised not to forget, that even if one is to confront high blood sugar intensities, his or her perseverance is to defy the adversity to the point medicine turns helpless ( a gentle joke).

CLOUDSby Wisława Szymborska

I’d have to be really quickto describe clouds -

a split second’s enoughfor them to start being something else.

Their trademark:they don’t repeat a single

shape, shade, pose, arrangement.

Unburdened by memory of any kind,they float easily over the facts.

What on earth could they bear witness to?They scatter whenever something happens.

Compared to clouds,life rests on solid ground,

practically permanent, almost eternal.

Next to cloudseven a stone seems like a brother,

someone you can trust,while they’re just distant, flighty cousins.

Let people exist if they want,and then die, one after another:

clouds simply don’t carewhat they’re up to

down there.

And so their haughty fleetcruises smoothly over your whole life

and mine, still incomplete.

They aren’t obliged to vanish when we’re gone.They don’t have to be seen while sailing on.

Translated by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh

Pythagoras gave it the title to be the king of fl avourings, Horace wrote poems in tribute to it, in turn Alexander Dumas introduced it in the „Culinary Glossary” saying:

„The air in Provence is saturated with aroma of garlic, so it is truly healthful to breathe with it...”

F O R T H O S E W H O A R E E A G E R F O R T H E W O R L D

Peculiar tang, beautiful blossom, that fl o-urishes into white spicy fl esh in tissue-like

rind. Garlic. From time immemorial to go round all the continents, the vegetable has inspired un-commonly valuable folklore and related to it sym-bolism. It originated from Asia, purportedly down from desert Kyrgyzstan, where from was repro-duced in Europe and Northern Africa as a dome-sticated plant already, while soon aft er was ada-pted and bred in the four corners of the globe.

The narrations on garlic to be found date just about 5 thousand years back now. It was cul-

tivated by Romans, Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks, Hebrews, Arabs. Th e world literature provides fa-irly substantial evidence how ancient cultures ap-preciated garlic to lace it with food and how they welcomed it as a kind of medicine. Among Babylo-nians, it was the very king – god to esteem the aro-matic plant. Likewise, the acts of reverence Egyp-tian nations paid to their pharaohs were off erings of onion and garlic. It was there, where a 7kg sack of garlic was priced as highly as equal to a male slave in barter. It was 1600 B.C., when the buil-ders of the pyramids were not given garlic and re-bellion erupted on the spot. In the prehistoric ti-mes, garlic was respected as a symbol of the uni-verse. It has been established, that onion and garlic were used in mummifi cation practices – they were believed to safeguard the deceased. Egyptian ma-nuscripts encompass 800 medical prescriptions, 22 of which were supposed to be based on garlic.

Phoenicians and Vikings, whose home was sea and sea again, they equipped them-

selves with massive supplies of garlic. It served them both as an item of their cuisine and as one of resourceful remedies. Whereas, in 450 B.C, In-dians composed a “song on garlic” to sing the pra-ises how the herb renews human lives up to hun-dreds of years. In turn, Jewish Talmud propo-ses its properties directly, as it “pleases and he-ats up body, enriches face with beam, fosters ca-pacity of semen and gets rid of bowel parasites”.

As far as roman senators fed their legionnaires with ample measures of this remarkable vegetable, them themselves did not learn the savour of it. It was because roman law interdicted entry to the temple of Cybele, the mother of Zeus, to

those, who had consumed garlic. Raised on garlic legionaries met no incidences of diseases and astonished other civilisa-tions with their physical potency of muscles. Again, it was them to familiarise general population with the herbal vegeta-ble. Greeks alike had faith in the invigorative strength of garlic and armed themselves with it before any of battles (the odo-ur must have been a weighty weapon on its own). It is thought, that garlic bulbs were buried amidst stones at the crossro-ads, so as to daunt Hecate – the goddess of magic underground world. Either, Romans and Greeks had their special garlic gardens, where the plant was nurtured. Byzantine populace cherished the vegetable to the extent they ate it without restra-int, with no accompaniment, still unripe and soft in form. Also, olden societies accepted it as true, that garlic protects aga-inst snake bites and poisonous upshots. In the West in turn, the plant is considered to be a reliable agent to treat sexual po-werlessness. To quote another illustration, Arabs maintain up till now, that intakes of garlic prevent from need for liquids drought prompts. Again, Spanish matadors profess the “stinking rose” whiff to be killing the bulls throughout the rodeos...

In the Middle Ages, people attempted to blend garlic with other natural essences as

honey or wine. It was chiefl y harvesters, for the fact the then aristocracy did not embrace the value of the vegetable. Th e Castilian monarch Alfonso, he was so immensely allergic to garlic, that in 1330 he introduced the commandment, that none of knights were allowed to cross the threshold of the royal court if having garlic or onion in their blood. In one, they were forbid-den to speak to any of courtiers for the time of 4 weeks in view of such an occurrence.

In 1726, when the deadly plague devastated Marseille, there were four myrmidons, who

robbed the departed, and who evaded the pesti-lence as if through a gate of a miracle. Captured, interrogated, they came clean and provided he-aling recommendation, one that was tested on con gravediggers. It was vinegar macerated gar-lic, soon dubbed as “vinegar of four muggers”. One was to use a tampon, soak it in the prepa-ration, and inhale it. Th e nose burnt, but intesti-nes were secured. A phenomenal remedy...

The dish “Aillée” – namely garlic sauce, be-came reasonably popular in the course of

12nd century till the 14th. Actually, it was soup--like, as people dipped bread in it and infused it with consommé. Another culinary custom was to crush garlic, almonds or walnuts together, conformably to a region, intermix it with bread crumbs, what was meant to go jointly with meat or poultry bouillon. Allegedly, Aillée was parti-cularly salutary at wintertime, for it saved from harm of bronchitis and infl uenza.


It was discovered during the conquest of the American continent, that local In-dians employed garlic in medicine routines and incorporated it in their ethnic tra-

ditions. Th ere was a great deal of prescriptions found, also those that translate some of our contemporary ailments. For instance, a preparation for an ear-ache: a clove of gar-lic wrapped in a wool cloth was to be placed in one’s ear. Or, in case of a foot injury, the wound was to be coated with a mash of crushed heated garlic. Reportedly, the city Chi-cago owes its name to nothing than garlic again. It was on the way to the Great Lakes, when the missionary and traveller Jacques Marquette and his companions would have died but for a wild intensively aromatic plant of garlic they stumbled upon. Th e terrain it grew within was called Cigaga – Wuuj. And, the settlement erected there were chri-stened Chicago anon.

The vegetable of garlic arrived at the Polish lands shipped by Tatars or merchants in the Middle Age. In a couple of centuries aft er that, it was all-purpose item

for consumption and universal medication. Its healing assets were eff ected by peasants in cases like: respiratory system disorders, alimentary system diseases (parasitic roun-dworm ailments in particular), infectious diseases (e.g. jaundice, typhus), cardiovascu-lar diseases, rheumatism, or such complaints as aching teeth and gums, headaches. Th e contemporaneous studies ascertain the fact, that garlic can be used as a natural anti-biotic, since it proves antiviral and antibacterial qualities. In one, it combats fungi and microbes. It all works on the strength of allicin, the chemical constituent garlic releases when fresh and squashed. Th e substance was scientifi cally discerned in 1944. To say, the only indigestible part of garlic is its sprout. And to explain, it was the discovery of pe-nicillin that was this one episode in history, when garlic was not paid attention to, ho-wever not before long the First World War it regained its trustworthy position, since ac-cess to antibiotics then was quite unmanageable, while garlic habitually ready at hand.

What garlic comprises is sulphur compounds, mineral salts, B and C vitamins, all of which composed with

pectin, calcium, selenium, iodine, magnesium, zinc, iron, pho-sphorus, cobalt. Th ese are garlic attributes that revitalize eve-ry single bodily function. Also, as long as the vegetable is consu-med regularly and in raw, its chemical elements antagonize can-cer cells and their potential progression. Likewise, we can use it both as a preventative and therapeutic agent to counteract cardio-vascular diseases (2-3 cloves daily downgrades risks of coronary attacks). Garlic intensifi es generation of insulin and reduces blo-od sugar concentrations. Altogether, it relieves more of compla-ints, for instance it is advised to be externally applied on infected and hardly-healing wounds, burns, ulcerations, or mycoses. Gar-lic based alcoholic tinctures ease rheumatic indispositions. Fur-ther to quote, concoctions founded on this herbal vegetable neu-tralize nicotine intoxications. In one, pulps on this organic ma-terial alleviate acne skin complexions when delicately rubbed in.

This vigorous plant has also capacity to protect us against in-fections of pharynx and larynx. Thanks to its volatile sub-

stances, ones liberated during chewing, it lightens cold, asthma, whooping cough. In line with folk medicine it is beneficial to be drinking a glass of milk together with crushed garlic then on emp-ty stomach, and pause eating for next three hours on. For best re-sults it is to be repeated in the evening before one goes to sleep.

It effectively exacts prophylactic and therapeutic weight on ali-mentary system what might be a remedy for liver malfunc-

tions, obesity or climacterium. On the strength of its antioxidating qualities garlic protects against free radicals. It stimulates metabo-lism of fats reducing cholesterol levels in blood. Sulphur compounds it contains rouse white blood cells to defend body against contagions. Reducing points of triglycerides it safeguards arteries and heart in one. Its chemical activity assists many a function: biligenic, cholago-gic, diastolic, antiparasitic, antiarteriosclerotic, immunological, di-gestion regulating, blood pressure adjusting. Applied in enemas it fights pinworms children happen to have, disinfects urinary tracts, runs down antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Useful chemicals garlic

consists of come in aid to fall asleep in more trouble-free a way. It neutralises poison of wasps, bees, mosquitoes, black flies, ticks, even of scorpions and snakes, all on the condi-tion that some paste of garlic is immediately harnessed spot on the bite. Equally, garlic combats Salmonella and Helico-bacter pylori bacteria, which fact was scientifically proved.

No garden without weeds”, garlic stands some shortcomings accordingly. It might exact heart-

burn and flatulence. The plant favours intestinal gases. Its smell and aftertaste discourage people, for the obscurity to divest oneself of them. One good news in here, there is gar-lic in tablets.

Thermally processed garlic does not exhaust its won-drous properties, provided that straight after cut-

ting, grating or squeezing we put it aside for 10 minutes to rest. It is the time needed so as maximum of allicin can be liberated. Then, the vegetable is not supposed to be fried or cooked long – 5 minutes before the dish is about to be fini-shed is when we season it with garlic.

Garlic may interact with some of anticoagulant drugs, for example with warfarin. Therefore, in

case we have to receive blood-diluting medicines it is wor-thwhile to consult a doctor. Likewise, garlic supplements can not be accepted within 2 weeks facing expected sur-geries coming, for it may encumber coagulation, or even it may lead to haemorrhage.

This aromatic vegetable has been adopted in many a form: fresh raw, dried, powdered or in capsules. Na-

turally, the best is when it is fresh and shredded. Also, high temperatures do not serve its antibacterial attributes. Pre-ventatively, one clove daily is a sufficient dose.

Garlic is not an enemy of lovers, quite the rever-se! Copious sulphur compounds generate aph-

rodisiac elements. Henry IV Bourbon, who was named garlic clove, as for he was well-known to be exuding bad breath on occasions of amorous engagements, was ac-tually far better known as a conqueror of female hearts.

In Tibetan monasteries, garlic was disqualified for its exceptionally stimulating potential. Ovid in his “Ars

Amandi”, or Shakespeare in “Winter’s Tale” introduced it as an agent of passion. In turn, breakfast of Don Juan was depicted to consist of 50 oysters and an omelette on eggs and mass of herbs and relishes, among which mainly basil, lovage and garlic. One of great devotees to this white vege-table was also Pablo Picasso, who was famed not only for his painting masterpieces, but also for his amorous conquests. The master of cubism was to find garlic irresistible whate-ver a form it was. He kept it near at hand next to bread and wine while he was creating his genius works in his studio. “I adore him, Pablo is my master, when it is hard to be tal-king with him for he horribly smells with garlic” – Salva-dor Dali was accustomed to say. None the less, musses and lovers of the Spanish paramour must have not minded it.

S ince the unpalatable scent does not promote amorous elation one can manage it chewing parsley or washing it down with yogurt, milk

or wine. Some people suggest coff ee beans, others honey, cloves, thyme, cumin, green beans, mint, celery, raw broad beans, lemon or orange peel, apple. Still, the best of options appears to be chewing fresh rue leaves.

Garlic, as a magical plant, symbolised the planet Mars (just as sul-phur and mustard), what was meant to be guarding against evil.

In medieval Europe, garlic was believed to be unsurpassed protection in front of black magic and vampires. Hanged on doorways it saved from harm of witches. Corresponding to Arabic lore, these extraordinary pro-perties originated form the fact, that Satan carried a garlic bulb on a hoof when driven out of paradise. In Bohemia, in aim to safegu-ard cattle from devilry garlic was added to pasturage, in turn on the New Year day there folks used to place garlic behind dogs’ col-lars, so as they would be certain to keep and watch the year on. If to mention polish villages, countrymen were to effect garlic aga-inst evil spirits and spells. Depending on a region, garlic was worn as a personal talisman, on the neck, in a pocket, sewn in garments or physically rubbed in skin. On the terrains of Tatra Mountains, garlicwassanctifiedonthedayofSaintŁucja(Lucia),sincewhenpeopleaccustomedtocoatcowshedswithitortoperformfigura-tive signs of cross, all to salvage inventory. It was generally belie-ved, that imps, sprites, banshees, any demons dreaded the tangy bouquet of the plant. Far off in Africa, it is still preserved a custom to rub bodies with garlic and scare crocodiles away, a supernatu-ral plant indeed...

ONION OF WISE WOMEN– it is a plant of various names agreed, like wood garlic, wild garlic, bear’s garlic, and af-fords all the valuable qualities cultivated garlic does. Though, it differs in appearance and in the kind of ecosystem it grows in. Its bulb is narrow and oblong, which is the nest for two leaves to blos-som out in early spring (like in lily of the valley).

Song on the End of the Worldby Czeslaw Milosz

On the day the world endsA bee circles a clover,

A Fisherman mends a glimmering net.Happy porpoises jump in the sea,

By the rainspout young sparrows are playingAnd the snake is gold-skinned as it it should always be.

On the day the world endsWomen walk through fields under their umbrellas

A drunkard grows sleepy at the edge of a lawn,Vegetable peddlers shout in the street

And a yellow-sailed boat comes nearer the island,The voice of a violin lasts in the air

And leads into a starry night.

And those who expected lightning and thunderAre disappointed.

And those who expected signs and archangels’ trumpsDo not believe it is happening now.

As long as the sun and the moon are above,As long as the bumblebee visits a rose

As long as rosy infants are bornNo one believes it is happening now.

Only a white-haired old man, who would be a prophet,Yet is not a prophet, for he’s much too busy,

Repeats while he binds his tomatoes:No other end of the world there will be,No other end of the world there will be.



Th e organisms stand highly advanced and extraordinary sensitive system, one that enables them reception of external stimuli and memorising collected information. More, they are even able to communicate one with another. Th e only fa-culty they are not capable of is escape. At any rate, they do not have to, they have no enemies round the Earth. Th is mor-tal menace to humankind – FUNGI!

Fungi is as if a slower-in-motion variation of animal spe-cies. Th e only faculty they are not capable of is running away – the American biologist Jack Schultz stated in 1985. Any-how, he observed at the same point, that it does not disco-urage fungi a touch to engage in the battle for the primacy in this globe.

Th ere is a good many natural scientists, who share the qu-alm and caution against this uncompromising and deadly adversary. Fungi do infest, they can be found everywhere, in jungles, in sweltering lifeless crevices throughout deserts of Northern America, as well as underneath massive ice stra-tums of Antarctica. Th ey are able to adapt to any conditions given and to settle to any food that is to come. Th e creatures can be eating midget living beings the same as decayed ma-terial, the same as they can survive on industrial waste.To crown it all, the genus multiply in transmutations, and to say it fi rm, it happens on the strength people contribute to.

It was less than one hundred years it took human civili-sation to ruin natural steadiness and potency of ecosystems. Industrialisation of agriculture engrossed soils with masses of pesticide artifi cials, what soon appeared to be the fi rst of choices fungi rely on. Besides, mineral salts stimulate fungi to be producing more toxins, which are still more intoxica-ting. And, in addition, the poison fungi saturate lands with is further toxic than the poison in their very mycelium.

Oleg Monatyrski, a Russian scientist from the European Mycological Association published reports, that bear out the evidence that we are to confront mounting peril. He disco-

Th e commonplace name of saprophytic fungi is mo-uld, what arises from the simple fact we manage it in everyday life. Th e spawn of mould can develop on such organic bases as vegetable feed, compost, skin, whe-re it generates thick, white or coloured coat within.

Most the times, we do not realize how unfavoura-ble mould is when it takes place on food, particularly on vegetables and fruit that we consume raw. In com-mercial practice, the produce aff ected by mould is trim-med down in fl esh and then in prices to gain what is left in bargain. Th e lower cost usually wins through, whereas the remnant of the goods is healthy but in ap-pearance only, for this reason that mould, if infects, it does throughout a given body, not solely spot there whe-re the fl are-up happens to be. It works the same rule in case of bread; we can not handle mould cutting gre-case of bread; we can not handle mould cutting gre-enish or whitish slices away. Even if the baking looks all fi ne aft er an intervention of the kind, it is still whole ill.

ner life” our pot of soup may turn out to be, and how promptly it may have eff ect altogether, all if we rest it for tomorrow or aft er tomorrow. But sanitary inspectors and experts on epidemiology are fastidiously aware, they have revised many a public catering location. However, no one of such competence scrutinizes our kitchens.



As much as 150 fungi species feed on life forms. Th ey can ingest minuscule roun-dworms, sky-high trees or ... human beings. Th e scientists warn, that the next giant civilisation on the Earth might be fungi one, straight down on the debris of ours. Fungi face no antagonistic genera, do not have to run away anywhere, still that con-temporary science has not managed to identify these hybrids to successfully challen-ge them. Th en, we do not know what a turn our future is to withstand..

It has been revealed, that notwithstanding fungi fl ora origin, they have a lot in common with animals. Namely, they belong to the family of or-ganisms, whose cells develop a nucleus. It was ascertained also, that they stand highly advanced and extraordinary sensitive body system, one that enables them reception of external stimuli and memorising collected in-formation. What is more, they are able to communicate one with another, just as their biochemical processes resemble human nature of patterns.

Th e fascination scientists harboured towards these atypical organisms translates more into trepidation now, particularly when they realise, that the fungi stand a deadly weapon, which is mycotoxin, long-winded and unbeatably eff ective contaminant.

vered, that some fungi are already capable to ge-nerate several dozen variants of poisons. For an example he quotes Fusano fungi, the genus that wreck corn crops. Th is type of fungi exude 40 po-isonous natures, whereas just three of them have been suffi ciently recognised. Hence, it is an im-measurable problem, all the more that chemically engineered fertilising serves fungi mutations and their immunity.

Modern farming goes up against these great dangers and there are introduced further inno-vations of plant protective agents. Unfortunately, it devastates the bionetwork with chemicals more still, and doubly promotes the realm of fungi!

In 20th century, round then eigh-ties, an average polish fruit cultiva-tor applied some about 16 sprays to expect to harvest a crop of ripe heal-thy apples.

Now, last year, the New York Acade-my of Science issued their account on fungi food contamination.

Th ey pronounced it a global pro-blem, since 80% of produce that re-aches our tables world-wide is myco-intoxicated. Admittedly, in Europe and America there are respective re-gulations sanctioning goods aff ected by fungi to lead it out of circumvolu-tion. However the situation when such commodities match up the establi-shed norms they are legal to enter the markets. It is not diffi cult to anticipa-te what must take place in human sto-machs under the weight of so fatal an infl uence.

One of other fi ndings was an acci-dentally detected toxin patulin, that achieved it in Northern America and Europe to infect 50% of apples and ne-arly 80% of fruit juice assortments.

Th e researchers disclose, that they unearth more and more fungi devia-tions, which appear to be more and more expansive.

In the USA, there has been a go-vernmental programme appointed, so as to investigate the environmen-tal impact of mycotoxins. In sum, the-re was 2000 fungi poisons recognised, 300 of which have been examined and analysed. Th e researchers estimate, that it is at least 2000 more round the four corners of the globe.

I need to acknowledge it with some tone of personal shame, that we can not off er a kind of command how to call the invasion to a halt – doctor Monatyrski states. – What I am cer-tain of is the fact, that this way of civi-lisation progress, in this tempo and of this character, guarantees the triumph of fungi on this planet!

Night Thoughts

Stars, you are unfortunate, I pity you,Beautiful as you are, shining in your glory,Who guide seafaring men through stress and perilAnd have no recompense from gods or mortals,Love you do not, nor do you know what love is.Hours that are aeons urgently conductingYour figures in a dance through the vast heaven,What journey have you ended in this moment,Since lingering in the arms of my belovedI lost all memory of you and midnight.

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ~


Th e earliest narrations on herbal medicine we can fi nd, is historical documentations amassed in Sumer, Babylonia, Assyria, what has been da-ted as old as born in 2000 B.C. Th e healing plants they refer to are camomile, saff ron, wormwood, liquorice, dame, pot marigold, common fennel and some others. To be precise, the very fathers of medical knowledge were temple priests of ancient Egypt. Th e precincts of the shrines were grounds where plants were cultivated and the chambers of these holy places served space to be able to pre-pare specifi cally formulated medicaments. Th e generous material on Egyptian medical experti-se is comprised in the Ebers Papyrus (1500 B.C.) in form of 900 well-defi ned prescriptions. For in-stance, Egyptians already then practised treat-ments on poppy seed, which is such a substance, that can aff ord incredibly strong anaesthetics, to quote morphine as an example.

Th e current medical comprehension was intro-duced by Greeks in 4 and 5 BC. As it was men-tioned, healing treatments were initially based on religious cults and performed in sanctuaries. Some time passed, and magical elements gave way to more worldly therapeutic routines. Also, more and more people acquired the competen-ce of drug dispensing. Th ere was specialisations like “pharmacopoeia persons”, namely ones who composed medicaments, and “rhyzotoms”, who cast about herbs, collected them and provided them to the former. Herbs were sold to doctors and patients in purposely designated outposts as an “apotheke”, what translates into today’s “apo-thecary”.

Herbalism has been highly appreciated in Chi-nese and Indian medicine up to the present day. For example, Chinese medics were able to apply the Ephedra sinica plant to treat respiratory di-seases as early as 2000 B.C. Th e ephedrine, in it’s active chemical compound is invariably adapted to the modern day exactly for the use in therapies such as asthma and bronchitis.

The moment I am on the point of brewing herbs I feel as if I was a wise woman. The fact they lived in commercial sa-chets does not belitt le my zeal. My nose is sti mulated on the strength of aromas... I am a household herbalist, who en-joys drinking camomile, sage, melissa. It is the reason why I plan to set up a litt le herbaceous garden on my private site this year. Certainly, I am going to do this armed with some professional manuals. As far as this, it is spring onion pon-

derously resti ng on my window sill.

In turn, in the Middle Ages, it was Charles the Great (768-814) who instituted cultivation of healing herbs and aromatic plants. Botanical medicine then, likewise, developed in Christian monasteries in line with monastic traditions. Herbs were grown and nursed in the gardens alongside priories, noblemen’s manors or church hospitals. It was the time, when the art of voluminous and lavishly illustrated herbariums was paid many an eff ort and eff ected. In 10th and 11st century Euro-pe, it was Benedictines from Salerno who mastered medical herbalism. Further on, in 13rd and 14th centuries, fi rst pharmacies were created, called “stores of pepper” or “spice shops”, where healing roots, fl avo-urings, and scents were put on the market.

Th e breakthrough moment in the botanic history of healing was when Paracelsus proclaimed, that God bestowed people with all-cu-ring remedy (Arcanum), altogether with signs (signatures) leading to the sought solution to be found. Accordingly, Paracelsus prescribed kidney-shaped produce in case of nephritis, yellow-coloured natural products in case of jaundice, or poppy-heads for head-aches. In one, he devised methods of processing, so as to be able to extract plant es-sences, what we term today as active chemical agents. It is how he ear-ned the title to be the pioneer of phytochemistry and pharmacognosia.



Within last years of 20nd century and on the ope-ning years of 21st , there was a recognisable swing to-wards natural therapies. Th e most popular merchan-dise now is ready-made herbal mixtures. Th e only qu-estion that remains is the worth of effi cacy.

Standard herbal tea we buy is a blend of raw mate-rials and is as if a protoplast of a combination-type medicine. Quite oft en, there are additives enhancing fl avour and colouring. Some of ingredients are mul-tidirectional, however might be previously associated and work synergistically, that is they might add force to the principal constituent.

General practitioners are well-familiarised with medicaments, that aff ord herbal activity. At present, pharmacologists, microbiologists, botanists, chemi-sts in unity, are engaged and committed to discover more of herbal substances sources.

Nowadays, phytotherapy has become more than an alternative approach since it was accepted as one of classical medicines. Numerous offi cially legal drugs, whether in tablets, liquids or ointments, comprise plant active ingredients, that had been proved thro-ughout business-like scientifi c studies. Th en, phyto-therapy is an organic integral face of chemical scien-ce. Many a time, medicines on plants save human li-ves. Equally, phytotherapy may be just one of suppor-tive treatments and it is diffi cult to assess effi ciency of any involved in respect.

Herbalism as an alternative approach encompas-ses many traditions: those of ancient Greeks and Ro-mans, or those originated in India, China, Tibet, ones that have shamanic backgrounds. Th e followers of the alternative line admit steadfast, that conventional medicine is more profi cient in case of emergencies, when pressure of time is critical. Whereas herbal me-dicine is more prophylaxis oriented, it can reinforce immune defences as appositely as ably to bring chro-nic diseases progression to a close.

Phytotherapy, as an alternative medical speciality, is a controversial theme, but solely from the point of view of scientists. What they reproach is low profi -le and subdued credibility of literature herbalists and their culture have provided. To cite their standpoint, phytotherapy may be the same as a substantial contri-bution to academic medicine, as well as a ground of hoax practices. Th e factual outcomes depend on con-tent-related formulations, methods of practice and spiritual understanding. Th e famous Polish herbali-sts are Czesław Klimuszko and Grzegorz Sroka.

Camomile teaas a touch of relief

for diabeticsA cup of camomile tea daily may be one of preventive

steps against acute complications diabetes type 2 engen-ders, what might be loss of eye-sight or impairment of ne-rves and kidneys among many others – British scientists in cooperation with Japanese associates have established.

However, the British party from the Diabetes UK foun-dation, one that attends and supports diabetes individuals being an authorized scientifi c researches group, they rec-kon, that diabetes patients should not redouble the pre-scribed measure of camomile infusions. „Th ere is a neces-sity further studies ought to be conducted to be able to de-cisively ascertain camomile bearing on diabetes compli-cations” – they assert.

In turn, some of the authors of the scrutiny state it pu-blicly, published on the pages of the “Journal of Agricul-tural and Food Chemistry”, that their analysis and exami-nations may lead to innovative solutions in diabetes type 2 pharmacology.

Th e investigators from the Toyama University coopera-tively with the British unit, they administered camomi-le brew to diabetes stricken rats for the period of 21 days trial. Th e test results were compared to the clinical control group readings.

And, the rodents receiving camomile proved blood glu-cose concentrations far lower than the animals in the con-trol group. What is more, camomile has been observed to reduce intensity of aldolase reductase, the enzyme that prejudices such diabetes complications as defects of reti-na or reins.

In case of glucose superfl uity, aldolase reductase co-nverts the sugar into alcohol termed sorbitol. Th en, this substance accumulates in body cells, e.g. there in retina or reins, what triggers oedema, deforms structures and han-dicaps functioning. In due course, it brings the organs to ruin in form of blindness or renal failure.

Again, Dr. Victoria King from the Diabetes UK pur-ports, that it is a premature conclusion for diabetics to be drinking more camomile. According to her, diabetes type 2 can be suffi ciently stabilised on the strength of a proper diet, physical activity, and adapted medicines.

Women, who face diabetes type 2 and observe rich in bran diet are less lia-

ble to happen to pass away, than diabetes patients, who do not include the fi bre in the-ir eating patterns – Harvard University scientists distinguish. One of the researchers, dr. Lu Qi, fi nds it promising, especially when the diabetes individuals stand two- or threefold more serious exposure to loss of life.

Dr. Qi and his associates have managed to analyse records of 7822 females, who were diagnosed diabetes type 2 at the age of 30. Th is most frequent in inci-

dence type of diabetes, strictly related to overweight and physical inactivity, is main-ly a concern of people middle-aged and at age advanced. All the patients involved in the large scale American “Nurses’’ Health Study” (NHS, 1976) were actually nurses by profession. Every two years subjects fulfi lled questionnaires on illness history and life style led, whereas it was every four years they fi lled up inquiry forms in respect of food consumed. Th eir state of health was monitored for the duration of 26 years. Wi-thin the time mentioned, there were 852 death cases, 295 of which were correspon-ding to blood circulation diseases.

The analysis, in terms of age, provided evidence, that women who treated themse-lves with bran (in average 9,7 grams daily) proved to reduce decease risks in 55%

while regarding a variety of factors at stake, or in 64% in confrontation to blood circu-lation syndromes, what showed contrast to females, who did not eat bran cereal at all.

The scientists took into account several issues of life style, such as smoking or fi t-ness activities. None the less, it was bran intakes, that had statistical weight on

death rates cutbacks. Dr. Qi explains it the way, that diabetes, as a chronic infl amma-tion disease features moderate growths of post infl ammatory dynamics and charac-terises dysfunction of endothelial tissue, namely cells, that line up blood vessels and drive the there pressure.

Both aspects play a role in cardiovascular complications prevalence. Th erefore, aiming post infl ammatory dynamics to be reduced and endothelial tissue to be

recovered, anyone is well-advised wholemeal products in plenitudes.The Source: Health Market

Szanowna Pani Minister

Jako organizacja skupiająca w swoich szeregach osoby chore na cukrzycę,z zadowoleniem przyjęliśmy Stanowisko Rady Konsultacyjnej Agencji Oceny Technologii Medycznych z 15.02., 15.03, 29.03 oraz 12.04 br., w których to Rada Konsultacyjna uznała za zasadne zakwalifikowanie leków z grupy GLP 1 (eksenatyd, liraglutyd) oraz DPP4 (saksagliptyna, widagliptyna) jako świadczeń gwarantowa-nych, finansowanych w ramach wykazu leków refundowanych, z 50% odpłatnością.

Rekomendacje AOTM traktujemy jako duży krok naprzeciw potrzebomi oczekiwaniom chorych na cukrzycę w zakresie dostępu do nowych lekówi doceniamy wykazaną przez Ministerstwo Zdrowia troskę o poprawę naszejsytuacji. Jednocześnie chcielibyśmy uzyskać informacje, kiedy ww. rekomen-dacje znajdą odzwierciedlenie w obowiązującej liście leków refundowanych.

Wiemy, że dostęp do tych leków jest szczególnie ważny dla pewnej, stosunkowo niewielkiej, grupy pacjentów, u których mogą one opóźnić czas rozpoczęcia insulino-terapii. To niezwykle istotna korzyść i jesteśmy przekonani, że trzeba zrobić wszyst-ko, żeby chorzy mieli możliwość jej doświadczyć. Niestety, nawet z 50 procentową dopłatą koszt zakupu leków będzie przekraczał możliwości finansowe większości cho-rych. Dlatego zwracamy się z prośbą, aby te leki były dla najbardziej potrzebujących i chorych dostępne nieodpłatnie.

Z wyrazami szacunku

Suppose, one is watching a TV weather forecast and shifts his or her eyes on the north-eastern corner of Po-landthereclosetoSuwałki,andwhatheorsheislikelytoassociate it with? Well, a Polish pole of cold temperatures. Nevertheless, many of our countrymen and even some of foreigners, ones who ever happened to visit the lands, are impressed how picturesque and sui generis the sites are. The familiar phrase “green lungs of Poland” does not read the captivating features of these glacial scenes, spread with dimensions of lakes, hillocks, hills in places.

Driving up north from Augustów towards Sejny we may go and witness one of the most beautiful lakes – Serwy. This nearly 8 kilometres long reservoir, squared in 460 ha, fuels the Augustów Canal with its waters and serves sce-nery to the localities of Macharka, Sucha Rzeczka, Serwy.

We choose Sucha Rzeczka to have a stop there, for it is the angle of the lake, where both of its periphe-ries are within reach of an eye. Being lucky to enjoy the weather today we feel tempted to stay a while in here.

In front of us, there is one of countless piers and pe-ople bathing in sun. An occasion to ask for a guidan-ce. Not as far! It is some German tourists! Anyway, it is not unusual here. Foreign people holiday at this junc-

We discover delightful settings...ture. Trying and mixing tongue and sign languages we turn to be admiring the clearness of the Serwy lake and the bulrush around. It is beautiful environs. To have a swim is certainly a good idea. Wonderfully refreshing water. Nothing but to give in to the nature... Except, there in the rushes a company of swans, the father, al-together a leader in the front line, what all means to abandon the spot any opposite direction in any style.

Now, time for a thing or two. A local shop, some fresh peach yogurts, for the lunch as it should be. Hold on, why on earth the people, ones equippedwith fishingrods, they have vanished behind the shop? We peer the-re where back-up facilities are and rub eyes out of the di-sclosure – next of lakes? The ecosystem is profuse. We decide to cull some facts what we are actually viewing.

We chanced on a friendly inhabitant of Sucha Rzecz-ka,FabianRowiński infamilyname,whotoldus, thatthelakeiscalled“Małe”(SmallOne).Indeed,matchedup against all the others its 6 ha does not stir, then aga-in the sight of it affords a picture for a postcard from our vacation time. Whereas, back to the topic on Ser-wy, the lake, along via Augustów Canal, adds up to the waterway leading straight to the river Niemen. The

lake accommodates three islands: Sosnowo,Dębowo and Li-pówek. The biggest of them is Sosnowo, where cormorants and grey herons build their nests, among which even white--tailed eagles happen to be spotted. Also, for the fact it is wi-thin the very heart of the Augustów Primeval Forest, the the-re woods is home for families of deer, elk, roe deer, wild boar, wolf. By the way, we are quite fortunate, as our guide, mister Fabian, is a member of Forest Inspectorate staff, so the in-formation isfirsthand.And,abriefmessage for theanglers:perches, pikes, powans, eels, mints, roaches, all there. The lake depth of 41,5 m provides the space for such a variety.

A changeover, we rent bicycles. We are going to circ-le Serwy, which is a 20 km ride. There, what a traveller se-lection! Fairly sizeable camping sites, holiday homes, gu-est-houses, catering, anyone is welcome. Then, well, mode-ration is thegoldenmean.Weopt for the last trip tofindanoffer of the regional cuisine. A relief to be on the bikes...

We return to Sucha Rzeczka. There is already the sun-set on the horizon. We have a rest by the waterside and can not believe what we see – such a spectrum of reflec-ting colours can be created only by nature and by natu-re only. It is worth hours and hours to feel at one with.

Back to reality. A whiff of a savour reaches our senses, as if an aroma of some mushroom soup. There, people stage a barbeque and are keen to spend the evening on this or another conversa-tion The dilemma arises: are we to stretch a tent and join the yet unacquainted or we are better to be homecoming? Well...

Proportioned to the groove.
