Green Tea EGCG and Down
Syndrome
EGCG, the flavonoid from green tea, has
been studied for an impressive number of
health benefits. In addition to the neuro-
protective and cognitive effects, EGCG from
green tea has been investigated for preven-
tion of cancer and cardiovascular diseases,
for fat burning, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic,
anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxida-
tive, antiviral, and cholesterol-lowering
effects. It’s worth noting that flavonoids
from other plants such as blueberry, grape,
and cacao (chocolate) are also known to
enhance memory and cognition. Flavonoids
do this by protecting neurons from injury,
protect against neurotoxins, suppress neu-
roinflammation, and stimulate neuronal
regeneration. It’s good to know that some-
thing can be helpful for people with Down's
syndrome. I’m wondering how a combina-
tion of natural brain enhancing compounds
would do in a study like this. Supplements
like Alpha GPC, Phosphatidylserine,
Bacopa, Acetyl-l-carnitine, and DHA might
be worth a try.

James Duke, Ph.D., in his book
The Green Pharmacy
, makes
the following comment on Black walnut (Juglans nigra.)
“Kathi Keville, author of The Illustrated Herb Encyclopedia
and Herbs for Health and Healing, a California Heralist
whom I admire, recounts one impressive study showeing that
the fresh husk of the black walnut destroyed candida better
than a commonly prescribed antifungal drug . . .”
“Recurrent or chronic infections, including chronic candidsis,
are characterized by a depressed immune system. A repeti-
tive cycle makes it difficult to overcome chronic candidiasis:
a compromised immune system leads to infection, and infec-
tion leads to damage to the immune system, further weakin-
ing resistance.” (Murray and Pizzorno, Encyclopedia of
Natural Medicine)
Enhanced immune system function may be the most impor-
tant component of treating this condition.

relaxing effect. It calms, sooths and supports the
nervous system.
1 fl oz - Prod Code: 57067
Who would benefit from this supplement?
•Those with stress, anxiety, stomach upset due to nervous-
ness, and mild insomnia.
Phyto-Tech™ Chamomile Flower is traditionally used as a
mild relaxing herb for mild insomnia, anxiousness and
stomach upset from nervousness. It is a gentle sedative to the
central nervous system and can calm one down. It is best
when one wants a gentle relaxing herb to gently help them
to sleep or to simply relax during the day. It will not make
one sleepy like Valerian can, nor will it reduce pain as well
as skullcap. It is suitable for children, those who are very
sensitive to sedatives and for the elderly. It is especially
soothing in a warm cup of water at bedtime.
Chamomile can be used for digestive upset from nervous
eating or overeating. It can soothe upset tummies form
overeating junk foods.
It has also been used for teething infants and children who
need a little pain relieving action. Dilute amounts are added
to water, milk or juice in amounts suitable to the weight of
the child.
Dosage:
Use 10-20 drops for a 30 pound child, 25-30 drops
for a 60 pound child and an adult dose above these weights.
Phyto-Tech™ Chamomile Flowers contains 333 mg certified
organic Chamomile in 30 drops.

T
hose with Down syndrome may have
delayed physical growth, common facial
features, and be cognitively immature. In this
study, 84 people aged 16 to 34 with Down
syndrome took a placebo or 4 mg of
decaffeinated green tea epigallocatechin
gallate (EGCG) per pound of bodyweight per
day. Both groups recieved weekly online
cognitive training.
After 12 months, compared to placebo,
those taking EGCG were better able to
remember and distinguish between objects,
could more easily resist distraction, had
greater ability to understand conceptual
thinking, and could better function in social
situations and use practical everyday skills. In
reviewing brain scans, doctors also found
greater connectivity between nerve cells.
