Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 I came across this study on this substance. It apparently shrunk fibroids and improved immune function. Does anyone know about this? More and more of my researches are finding that there are links between fibroids and low levels of Natural Killer tumor attackig cells, reduced immune function, and DHEA. Here is the link: and the abstract follows: ____________________________________ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi? cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=9863110 & dopt=Abstract _________________________________________ [Clinical and experimental study on improving cellular immunological function of uterine myoma patients by xiaoliu tablet]. [Article in Chinese] Zhou J, Zhu M, Li YX. Yueyang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of TCM, Shanghai. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Xiaoliu Tablet (XLT) in treating uterine myoma (UM) and the relationship between effect and the cellular immunological function of the UM patients. METHODS: Seventy- one UM patients by treatment with XLT was observed. The activities of natural killer (NK) cells of 50 patients and 30 normal women were determined. RESULTS: There were good effect in reducing the volume of myoma and improving the menses by XLT, especially in patients whose myoma were singly and small. The activity of NK cells of these patients (24.61 +/- 6.04%, n = 50) was significantly different from that of normal women (45.42 +/- 9.05%, n = 30), P < 0.01. There was a notable rise of NK cells of the patients (37.54 +/- 5.01%, n = 39), after the treatment of six months by XLT (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Improving the immunological function might be one of the mechanisms of the effect of XLT.
