Herbs that fight nut allergy disclosed, By Terry Murray
NEW YORK ¨C The formula has been revealed, 12 months later¡ªthe
names of 11 Chinese herbs reported at the AAAAI meeting last year to
have a striking effect on peanut allergy in a mouse model.
Dr. Xiu-Min Li, assistant professor of pediatrics and clinical immunology
at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine here, told the conference last
year that the herbal formula reduced peanut-specific IgE levels in the
mice by more than 30% and protected the animals from anaphylaxis.
However, neither she nor another investigator on the project would
reveal the contents of the formulation (see Medical Post, April 17,
2001).
But in a seminar on alternative therapies in food allergy at this year's
conference, Dr. Li named the contents. She listed the components of
FAHF-1 (or food allergy herbal formula 1) first by their traditional
Chinese medicine designation (in Pinyin), followed by the equivalent
pharmaceutical name:
Lingzhi (Chi), or Ganoderma lucidum;
Fuzi (zhi), or Radix lateralis aconiti carmicaeli praeparata;
Wumei, or Fructus pruni mume;
Chuanjiao, or Pericarpium zanthoxyli bungeani;
Xixin, or Herba cum radice asari;
Huanglian (Chuan), or Rhizoma coptidis;
Huangbai, or Cortex phellodendri;
Ganjiang, or Rhizoma zingiberis officinalis;
Guizhi, or Ramulus cinnamomi cassiae;
Renshen (Hong), or Radix ginseng; and
Danggui (shen), or Corpus radix angelicae sinensis.
The Mt. Sinai researchers are working to standardize FAHF-1, to
explore the way in which it suppresses allergic reactions and to
determine the best combination of the 11 ingredients, Dr. Li said.
They have also moved " one step closer to clinical study " by starting to
evaluate FAHF-1 with human mucosal lymphocytes from four milk-
allergic patients, she added. But she said only that in cell culture, FAHF-
1 produced a " clear reduction " in proliferation and in IL-4 and IL-13, but
did not alter interferon-gamma production.
The ingredients, above, refer to FAHF-1. The version used in the US
trial (FAHF-2) removed Xixin & Fuzi, but that removel did not reduce the
anti-allergic effect.
