The cytochrome p450 liver enzyme system is a family of related enzymes catalyzing different reactions in the body. This system can be altered by a number of mechanisms and efficiency varies significantly among people, leading to variability of both efficacy and toxicity of drugs. Induction of the CYP450 system increases the rate of biotransfomation, thus decreasing concentrations of the drug and hence its pharmacological effects. Inhibition of p450 enzymes results in increased concentrations of the drug, thus prolonging pharmacologic effects and increasing incidence of drug-induced toxicity. The most significant drug interactions are those involving drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, for example anticoagulants such as warfarin can cause bleeding if the amount of drug is increased as a result of a drug interaction. An ever-growing number of foods and herbs have been found to interact with the CYP450 enzyme system, grapefruit juice is a strong inhibitor, and many substances including red wine, St. Johns wort and cruciferous vegetables are all inducers. The synergistic possibilities for therapeutic benefit. are very real The rest of the lecture describes botanicals which may support detoxification of drugs, prevent cancer through anti-inflammatory effects, and possibly overcome multiple drug resistance in cancer therapeutics, all due to their actions on CYP450 enzymes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602374136024,"sku":"04ME36","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_63ebdf8d-3fb1-4c38-886c-c5eb407dc447.png?v=1752122701"},{"product_id":"shisandra-a-review-of-adaptogenic-and-antihepatotoxic-activities","title":"02ME31 - Shisandra: A Review of Adaptogenic and Antihepatotoxic Activities","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker:\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Upton-Roy\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e Roy Upton. \u003c\/a\u003eAn in-depth look at the pharmacology, clinical studies and safety of schisandra, specifically focusing on its action as an adaptogen in liver disease. 02ME31\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602330652888,"sku":"02ME31","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_447adcea-20b7-4e6c-b568-6b5dbaa17bd3.png?v=1752122683"},{"product_id":"specific-medication-herbs-for-the-liver","title":"01SW08 - Specific Medication: Herbs for the Liver","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Winston-David\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDavid Winston\u003c\/a\u003e. A comparison of liver remedies based on Ellinwood's classifications.  Milk thistle, blue flag, Culver's root, fringe tree, celandine, and turmeric are included.  Actions of these botanicals on the liver, stomach, intestinal tract and skin are described.  Tongue indications for prescribing each herb are discussed. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602319511768,"sku":"01SW08","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_bef9687f-c1a8-47f4-8132-d67f24049010.png?v=1752122691"},{"product_id":"detoxification-and-rejuvenation-liver-enzyme-pathways","title":"01ME08 - Detoxification and Rejuvenation: Liver Enzyme Pathways","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Mitchell-Bill\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBill Mitchell\u003c\/a\u003e. Botanical management of hepatic enzyme systems; both Phase I and Phase II.  How to avoid intake and exposure to toxins, what problems present themselves when the body tries to detoxify itself, the challenges induction places on the liver, and the inadequacies and inhibitions of the detoxification mechanisms are all discussed.  A description of the liver activity of Chelidonium, Chionanthus, Euonymus, Peumus, Ceanothus and others is included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602317381848,"sku":"01ME08","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_80647afe-e13d-4f8a-8171-f6da74abbca2.png?v=1752122246"},{"product_id":"botanical-interventions-in-the-treatment-of-liver-conditions","title":"19ME06 - Botanical Interventions in the Treatment of Liver Conditions","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Alschuler-Lise\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Proefrock-Kenneth\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKenneth Proefrock\u003c\/a\u003e. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease affects an estimated 8 to 10 million people in the US. It occurs in every age group, but especially in people in their 40s and 50s who are at high risk of heart disease because of such factors as obesity and type 2 diabetes. These conditions are also closely linked to metabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of abnormalities including increased abdominal fat, poor ability to use the hormone insulin, high blood pressure and high blood levels of triglycerides.
