Septicemia condition
Septicemia is the presence of bacteria in the blood (bacteremia) and is often associated with severe disease. It can arise from infections throughout the body, including infections in the lungs, abdomen and urinary tract. It may come before or at the same time as infections of the bone (osteomylitis), central nervous system (meningitis) or other tissues. First thing, here is to detect the source of infection, causing septicemia condition.
Role of Noni
Antibacterial activity of Noni : Acubin, L-asperuloside and alizarin in the Noni fruit and some other anthraquinone compounds in Noni roots, are all proven antibacterial agents. These compounds fight against infectious bacteria strains like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus morgaii, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Shigela. These antibacterial elements within Noni are responsible for the treatment of skin infections, colds, fevers and other bacterial-caused health problems. In ancient time Noni was traditionally used to treat broken bones, deep cuts, bruises, sores and wounds. Extracts from the ripe noni fruit exhibited moderate antibacterial properties against P aeruginosa, M pyrogenes and E coli and were shown to have moderate antibacterial properties against Salmonella typhosa, Salmonella montevideo, Salmonella schottmuelleri, Shigella paradys and Shigella paradys. Recently, Duncan demonstrated that scopoletin, a health promoter in Noni, inhibits the activity of E coli, commonly associated with recent outbreaks resulting in hundreds of serious infections and even death. Noni also helps stomach ulcer through inhibition of the bacteria H pylori.
Antioxidant role of Noni : Recent pharmaceutical interventions proposed for sepsis have sought to focus on regulating the chain of pro and anti-inflammatory mediators, responsible for causing the systemic characteristics of the disease and, consequently, for leading to multiple organ failure. The inflammatory reaction is capable of activating synthesis of lipid mediators, such as prostaglandin E2, involved in the complex regulation of the inflammatory process.
Many of these inflammatory mediators are metabolites of omega-6 fatty acids. like linoleic acid and the product of its elongation/desaturation, arachidonic acid. Substitution of Omega-6 fatty acids by fatty acids rich in Omega-3, such as EPA, has proved to be beneficial in modulating the inflammatory processes both in animal models and in humans.
Moreover, a recent study demonstrated beneficial effects of an enteral diet enriched with EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), GLA (gamma-linoleic acid) and elevated level of antioxidant vitamins, in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock requiring mechanical ventilation. In this subpopulation of patients, use of an enteral formulation enriched with EPA, GLA and antioxidants is associated with an improvement in oxygenation status, reduced mechanical ventilation time, a fewer days in ICU, less new organ dysfunction and also with a 19.4% absolute risk reduction in mortality.
Noni contains all the antioxidant vitamins and trace minerals including linoleic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. Besides, it contain lots of flavonoids and 150 and above various phytonutrients that make Noni a powerful antioxidant. Thus in case of septicemia, Noni may be helpful.
