Article Synopsis
- Sulforaphane, derived from glucoraphanin found in broccoli sprouts, shows significant anti-inflammatory effects in a study with intestinal cells, while glucoraphanin itself appears inactive in this context.
- In celiac disease, persistent inflammation and oxidative stress affect the small intestine, making it crucial to explore compounds that could alleviate these conditions.
- The study indicates that sulforaphane modulates inflammatory responses and epithelial integrity during inflammatory conditions, suggesting glucoraphanin may also have more to offer than previously thought.
The use of a complementary medicine approach, and specifically of the popular medicine Oscillococcinum, for the treatment of influenza-like syndromes remains controversial. This brief paper analyses the currently available literature on this homeopathic preparation and the Cochrane Collaboration's 2006 systematic review, along with other recent studies, in order to clarify certain fundamental aspects of its use in the treatment of influenza. In the light of the reported findings, and applying the rigorous criteria of evidence-based medicine, we suggest that this medicine should be placed in category "BI".
