具有抗HIV作用的天然药物及食物
HIV感染引起的艾滋病已成为威胁人类健康的杀手之一,其主要侵害人体免疫细胞(尤其淋巴细胞受害最为严重),一旦人体免疫系统受到 HIV 的严重破坏,病人就会出现各种症状,例如频繁腹泻、肺结核和卡波济氏肉瘤等。
艾滋病的治疗在目前仍为一世界性医疗难题,除了在杜绝不洁的性行为,慎重输血输液,讲究卫生等方面预防外,还可以多吃些抵抗艾滋病毒的食品。俗语云:民以食为天,食物可以提供新陈代谢的能量,合时合人的食物更能强身健体。食养与食疗与中医的药食同源、医食同源思想有关。我国最早的医典《黄帝内经》指出:“五谷为养,五果为助,五畜为益,五菜为充,气味合而服之,以补精益气”。近几年来,“医疗食品”在美国等发达国家也非常畅销。所谓医疗食品,是指那些既有治疗作用又能食用的食品(在我国传统上称其为“药膳食品”)。据了解,医疗食品在国外已发展成为一新兴产业。
维生素 A可降低 HIV 母婴垂直传染几率
美国和非洲医学研究人员在上个世纪90年代共同研究发现:孕妇血液中维生素 A 含量高者,其后代 HIV 感染率就会大大降低。为此,他们在非洲撒哈拉以南的部分艾滋病高发区进行了口服鱼肝油胶囊的大规模临床试验。结果表明:服用鱼肝油组的非洲HIV携带者孕妇分娩的后代 HIV 感染率仅有 6%~7%,而安慰剂组孕妇后代 HIV 感染率仍高达35%。由此可见,维生素 A 确有预防 HIV 母婴垂直传播的作用。美国学者在美国所做的一项试验证实,HIV 携带者每天口服常规剂量的鱼肝油胶囊即可有效降低艾滋病的发病率。更令人可喜的是,利用鱼肝油预防 HIV 感染者发生艾滋病的效果与抗艾滋病药物齐多夫定(AZT)一样好,而鱼肝油的价格仅为后者的5%。美国学者建议:今后可在广大第三世界国家(尤其是非洲艾滋病高发地区国家的妇女中)广泛推广口服鱼肝油胶囊,作为预防HIV 携带者发展成艾滋病的有效措施。
椰子油中特殊成分有抗 HIV 作用
椰子油系从椰子果实中提取的一种芳香性食用油。美国等研究人员最新实验证实:椰子油具有与众不同的抗病毒作用。据分析这与椰子油含有特殊的成分有关,即含量高达50%的脂肪酸—月桂酸,此外还有大量的甘油—桂酸酯。体外试验证实,椰子油所含的这两种主要成分具有抑制细菌和病毒以及原虫的强大作用,而其他食用油(如大豆油、菜子油、花生油、橄榄油等)则并无这种抗微生物作用。更可喜的是,椰子油里的甘油一桂酸酯还具有摧毁 HIV、疱疹病毒、巨细胞病毒、流感病毒和其他各种病毒表面裹着的蛋白质外膜的特殊作用。故西方学者认为,今后椰子油有望开发成为天然抗 HIV 食用保健药物(如软胶囊、口服液等)。
苦瓜提取物
苦瓜能抑制HIV解聚酶的活性。苦瓜中的苦瓜蛋白,对于进入人体的艾滋病病毒有强烈的抑制作用,美国科学家曾让50例艾滋病患者大量食用苦瓜或口含苦瓜汁,取得了很好的治疗效果。我国是世界主要苦瓜生产国之一,故发展苦瓜提取物的防艾滋病作用(新用途)市场前景十分广阔。
石榴汁可抑制 HIV 与受体结合
石榴是一种含糖量较高的多汁水果,含有丰富的碳水化合物、蛋白质、氨基酸、维生素和矿物质等成分。近据美国研究人员报道,石榴汁还有抗HIV作用。美国医学研究人员曾对十几种常见水果果汁的抗HIV作用进行了实验室研究。所研究的果汁包括:苹果、黒莓、蓝莓、椰子、越橘、接骨木果、葡萄、葡萄柚、柠檬、酸橙、菠萝和石榴等市场常见果品。结果石榴汁显示出对 HIV-1 与相应受体结合产生较强的抑制作用,蓝莓、越橘、葡萄和酸橙汁对 HIV略有抑制作用,而其他果汁均无此抑制作用.

鹅血
鹅血中含有大量的免疫球蛋白,能够增强人体的免疫功能,升高血液中的白细胞,促进淋细胞的吞噬功能,对艾滋病病毒有较强的抵抗作用。
大蒜
大蒜中含有植物杀菌素,除对细胞有灭杀作用外,对各种病毒,立克次体也有灭杀作用。常吃大蒜,还能提高免疫能力,预防各种疾病。据研究,将艾滋病病毒放入大蒜叶中5分钟便全部死亡。所以,平时多吃大蒜,对预防艾滋病具有重要的意义。
其他具有抗 HIV 作用的天然药物
巴西药品研究人员从巴西沿海生长的海藻中分离出3种天然物质,可用于生产预防和控制艾滋病病毒的药物。这些物质虽然不能根除艾滋病病毒,但可以有效控制其复制。在人体组织和实验鼠身上进行的初步试验显示,其中的一种物质可在一段时期内使艾滋病病毒的复制水平降低98%。研究人员计划利用这些物质生产预防和控制艾滋病病毒的药物。
日本学者报道,若干种植物具有抗 HIV-1 的良好效果,其中包括:神香茶、骆驼篷刺、山楂叶、中国杜仲叶、大蒜、香菇、美洲黄芩、迷迭香叶等。美国哥伦比亚大学和香港中文大学的研究人员发现:穿心莲提取物中的内酯成分具有杀死 HIV-1 的作用。另一值得开发的天然抗 HIV 植物为山楂。据欧美研究人员报道,山楂叶的水提物含有丰富的黄酮类成分,其中有一种名为“原花青苷”的黄酮有出色的抗氧化作用和抗菌/抗病毒作用。此外,还有一种多酚物质“三聚原花青苷”,实验证实其抗病毒作用最强,能有效抑制 HIV-1 与人体免疫细胞受体的结合,从而可预防 HIV 侵害免疫系统。国外所做的实验表明,山楂叶的抗 HIV 作用远优于山楂果。
利用天然植物及其提取物防止 HIV 感染人体免疫系统是一种全新的尝试。由于天然植物药价格低廉、安全可靠,故值得在广大第三世界国家推广应用。我们相信天然药物在治疗艾滋病方面有很好的发展前景,随着研究的深入,攻克艾滋病病毒的希望一定能实现。
With anti-HIV effect of natural drugs and food
AIDS caused by HIV infection has become a threat to human health, one of the killer, the main violations of human immune cells (lymphocytes in particular, suffer the most serious), once the body's immune system damage by HIV, the patient will be a variety of symptoms such as frequent diarrhea, tuberculosis and Kaposi's sarcoma and so on.
AIDS treatment in the medical world is still a problem, in addition to put an end to dirty sex, blood transfusion carefully, pay attention to the prevention of health, but also can eat the food of HIV resistance. As the saying goes: Hunger breeds, food can provide metabolic energy, most competent people can be fit and healthy food. Fresh dependent and therapeutic medicine and Chinese medicine homologous food, medicine, fresh thinking on the homology. Medical Code of China's first "Huang Di Nei Jing," pointed out: "for raising crops, fruit for the help of five, five animals for the benefit of five dishes for the filling, and served together on the scent to complement the fine Yiqi." In recent years, the "medical food" in the United States and other developed countries are also very popular. The so-called health food, I was referring to the therapeutic effects of both food consumption and can (in our country has traditionally called "Diet Food"). It is understood that the medical food in foreign countries has become a new industry.
Vitamin A can reduce the risk of vertical transmission of HIV mother-to-child
The United States and African medical researchers in the last century 90's research found that: the blood of pregnant women in the higher content of vitamin A, and its future generations will be significantly reduced HIV infection rates. To this end, they are part of sub-Saharan Africa AIDS has a high incidence of oral liver oil capsules for the large-scale clinical trials. The results showed that: use of cod liver oil group of people living with HIV in Africa and future generations of pregnant women giving birth with only HIV infection rate of 6% to 7%, while the placebo group and future generations of HIV infection in pregnant women is still as high as 35%. This shows that vitamin A does have vertical transmission prevention of HIV mother-to-child role. American scholars in the United States has done a pilot confirmed, HIV carriers in conventional daily oral dose of cod liver oil capsules can effectively reduce the incidence of AIDS. What is even more gratifying is that the use of cod liver oil to prevent occurrence of HIV-infected persons with AIDS, the effects of anti-AIDS drugs zidovudine (AZT) as good, and the price of cod liver oil is only 5% of the latter. Scholars have suggested that the United States: the future in the Third World countries (especially the high incidence of AIDS in Africa, women in the countries in the region) cod liver oil capsules promote the wider use of oral, as to prevent people living with HIV to develop into an effective measure for AIDS.
Components of coconut oil in particular have anti-HIV effect
Department of coconut oil extracted from the coconut fruit of an aromatic oil. The United States and other researchers confirmed that the latest experiment: coconut oil has a unique anti-viral effect. According to analysis of coconut oil which contains special ingredients, and that the content is as high as 50% of the fatty acids - lauric acid, in addition to a large number of glycerin - Gui esters. In vitro tests confirmed that coconut oil contained in the two major components can inhibit bacteria and viruses, as well as the powerful role of protozoa, and other edible oils (such as soya bean oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, olive oil, etc.) there is no such anti-microbial role. More gratifying to note that the coconut oil in the glycerol ester of a GUI has to destroy HIV, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, influenza viruses and other types of virus surface protein wrapped in the special role of the outer membrane. So Western scholars believe that coconut oil is expected to develop as a natural anti-HIV drug health food (such as soft capsules, oral liquid, etc.).
Balsam pear extract
Bitter gourd depolymerization can inhibit HIV activity. Protein of Momordica charantia, for the AIDS virus enters the human body has a strong inhibitory effect, the U.S. scientists sent a large number of 50 cases of AIDS in their mouths, eating bitter melon or bitter gourd juice, made a very good therapeutic effect. China is the world's leading producer of one of bitter gourd, bitter gourd extract it to develop the role of anti-AIDS (new use) a very broad market prospects.
Pomegranate juice can inhibit the HIV and the receptor-binding
Pomegranate is a high sugar content of the juicy fruit, rich in carbohydrates, protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals and other ingredients. According to the United States in recent research reported that pomegranate juice have anti-HIV effect. U.S. medical researchers have a dozen common fruit juices role of anti-HIV Research Laboratory. Juice studied include: apples, black raspberries, blueberries, coconut, blueberry, elderberry fruit, grapes, grapefruit, lemon, lime, pineapple and pomegranate fruit, such as common market. Pomegranate juice shows the results of HIV-1 with the corresponding receptors have a strong inhibitory effect, blueberries, blueberry, grape, and sour orange juice a slight inhibitory effect on HIV, but this is not the inhibition of other fruit juices.

Soybean
In addition to rich in soy protein, also rich in selenium, trace elements selenium that can enhance the body's resistance to disease. Soyasaponin soybeans in Gansu, to inhibit HIV, the virus enters the body, even if difficult to growth and reproduction.
Cucumber
Cucumber contains carotene C, to enhance the body's immune function, anti-virus, anti-cancer effect. There is a bitter cucumber tail chemicals into the body can kill the HIV virus.
Kelp
Kelp iodine largest iodide to promote the absorption of inflammatory exudation, and a certain degree of inhibition of cancer. There are kelp acid resin, the body's immune system to protect the cells, not against HIV, thus preventing AIDS.
Goose blood
Goose blood containing a large number of immune globulin, can enhance the body's immune function, elevated white blood cell and promote phagocytosis ALL cells, the AIDS virus have a stronger role in the resistance.
Garlic
Garlic phytoncide contains, in addition to cell killing things, for a variety of viruses, Rickettsia role also killed. Eat garlic, but also improve the immunity to prevent various diseases. According to research, the AIDS virus Add garlic leaves have all died five minutes. Therefore, usually eat more garlic, the prevention of AIDS is of great significance.
The role of other natural anti-HIV drug
Pharmaceutical Research in Brazil from the Brazilian coast in the growth of algae isolated from three kinds of natural material, can be used in the production of HIV prevention and control of the drug. Although these substances would not eradicate the AIDS virus, but can effectively control their reproduction. In human tissues and mice was carried out in the preliminary tests have shown, in which a substance can be for a period of time so that the level of HIV replication to reduce 98%. The researchers plan to use these substances to prevent and control the production of HIV drugs.
Japanese scholars reported that the number of species of plants with anti-HIV-1 of the good results, including: God Isodon, canopy camel thorn, hawthorn leaves, the Chinese Eucommia leaf, garlic, mushrooms, American Baicalin, rosemary leaves. Columbia University and Chinese University of Hong Kong researchers found that: Chuanxinlian Lactonization extract components have killed the role of HIV-1. Another development of the natural anti-HIV hawthorn plants. According to European and American researchers reported that hawthorn leaf aqueous extract rich in flavonoids, which have a so-called "original anthocyanin" the flavonoids have an excellent antioxidant and antibacterial / antiviral activity. In addition, there is a polyphenol substances "Anthocyanin Trimerization original" experiment confirmed that the strongest anti-viral effect, can effectively inhibit HIV-1 and human immune cell receptor combination, which can prevent the immune system against HIV. Experiments done abroad show that hawthorn leaves much better than the role of anti-HIV hawthorn fruit.
And its use of natural plant extracts to prevent HIV infection in the body's immune system is a new attempt. As a result of natural herbal cheap, safe and reliable, it is worth to promote the application of the broad masses of Third World countries. We believe that natural medicine in the treatment of AIDS as a very good development prospects, with in-depth study, to capture the hope of HIV must be achieved.
