Autoimmune Sufferers: At last, relief

"Secret Behind Chang Shan May Lead to New Treatments for Autoimmune Disorders"

Web MD Health News: Feb. 12, 2012 - (view here) "A new discovery about a 2,000-year-old Chinese herbal remedy derived from the roots of the blue evergreen hydrangea may pave the way for a new generation of targeted treatments for autoimmune disorders."

"A New Study suggests the Chinese herb known as Chang Shan Selectively Weakens the Runaway Immune Response implicated in many autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis."

The study titled:

"Halofuginone and other febrifugine derivatives inhibit prolyl-tRNA synthetase" (view here) stated:

“Our new understanding of molecular mechanism of action of febrifugine and it derivates , combine the ability of these compounds to selectively inhibit Th17 cell differentiation in vivo, makes possible the design of a new family of therapeutic compounds with improved pharmacological properties for treatment of a variety of serious illnesses, including multiple sclerosis, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis.”

"Previous studies - June 4, 2009 (view here) have shown that halofuginone protects against harmful Th17 cells without affecting other beneficial immune cells in mice."

The drug Halofuginone is a synthetic analog made from Febrifugine, and the Chinese herb Chang Shan (Dichroa Root - Latin botanical name) is the organic source for Febrifugine.

Sclero-Eze is one of a kind. It's the world's first and only herbal formula containing Chang Shan designed for Autoimmune Sufferers.

In early 2003, the founder of SunCatcher Herbs, who is himself a Systemic Scleroderma sufferer who was seeking a Scleroderma treatment, discovered the unique therapeutic properties of Chang Shan. Sclero-Eze, an advanced herbal supplement that uses Chang Shan as a base, was developed.

We've made extensive efforts to develop Sclero-Eze into the most powerful product with the broadest consumer use.

Each individual component of Sclero-Eze has been specifically examined for its own merit in order to maximize performance in this autoimmune struggle!

Emerging science indicates Sclero-Eze a "Chang Shan Supplement" can support immune function and provide joint relief from the crippling inflammatory effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus and Scleroderma.

Harvard Research May Lead to New Treatments

A small molecule better known for its anti-malarial properties can block the birth of the immune cells involved in autoimmune diseases without blocking crucial infection-fighting cells, report Harvard Medical and Dental School researchers.

Chinese Herb May Offer Hope for Autoimmune Diseases

A compound derived from Chang Shan, an herb used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years, halted the progression of an autoimmune disorder in laboratory mice and human cells, new research shows. The autoimmune disorders, which include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Scleroderma, Eczema and Psoriasis, are difficult to treat because the drugs-treatments that suppress inflammatory attacks by the immune system on body tissues often also suppress immune system functioning.

Study Shows Chang Shan Targets Specific Immune Responses

The drug Halofuginone, derived from Chang Shan, is the first to target specific cells that are overactive in rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and other autoimmune diseases. The drug's target -- a specific kind of immune cell called a Th17 cell -- was identified in 2006. But now Harvard Medical School researchers show that Halofuginone inhibits Th17 cells. More recently, Halofuginone was found to reduce skin collagen and was tested as a possible scleroderma treatment.
