March 21, 2008 – 9:51 am
Recently, an adulte male, 50 years old, and diagnosed with osteoporosis. He asked us to give his an advice about Bushen Migu Yem (Bushen Migu Ye). From Google, we found an article about this remedy study at 1996.
From Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, kidney was the fundamental of live. Since our age was big and big, the kidney function was weaken than before. So, tonify kidney was a very important way to anti-aging.
Those two remedies’s name were Bushen, that means tonify kidney.
In China local market, those herbal remedies were difficult to find. Bushen Jianggu Capsule was manufactured by Wuhu Jianming Pharm. Ltd. Bushen Migu Ye, Ye means liquid, and we didn’t found the Parma. in China throught search engine (baidu.com) .
Tonify kidney will help osteoporosis. But in Traditional Chinese Medicines, the most important was the sympton of patient, even same kidney weak, it maybe have different sympton.
So, in this study aritcal, it didn’t talk us the symptons, just using Western Medicines Study Method (Double Blind, and Statistics). It said have 92% improved. But you may ask it suitable for me? That was a big question.
Here is the article from google search:
Two recent studies in China revealed that the Chinese herbal remedy Bushen Jiangu (BNJ) - traditionally used as a kidney tonic - may in fact offer a therapeutic aid to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis.
The first trial, conducted at the Union hospital, Tongji Medical University in Wuhan, China. 34 patients participated in a double blind, controlled study. Seventeen post-menopausal women were given BNJ and a further seventeen post-menopausal women were given calcium treatment and used as a control group. After three months, the results showed that 92% of the patients in the BNJ group had improved. Six months after the treatment the bone density of the lumbar vertebrae of 69% of the patients was significantly higher than before the treatment and the bone density of the control group was considerably lower.
The researchers concluded that Bushen Jiangu could prevent and improve post-menopausal osteoporosis by improving bone formation and retarding the decline of bone density.
Similar results were found in a follow-up controlled study at the Tongji Medical University, Wuhan, China where 43 patients with menopause within a period of 5 years were randomly divided into two groups; one group to receive the Chinese herbal remedy Bushen Migu Ye (BSMGY) orally and the other used as a control group. The participants’ bone metabolism, serum estradiol and forearm bone density were taken before and after treatment. The results showed that five months after the treatment, the women in the treatment group showed improved bone mineral content whereas those women in the control group showed decreased mineral densities. Furthermore, the ratio of fasting urinary calcium and hydroxyproline to creatinine was lower than before the treatment and significantly lower than that of the control group. The researchers concluded that the study results indicate that the BSMGY was linked to a declining of bone mineral loss in post-menopausal women.
