Job's Tears
Coix
Coix is a traditional plant used in various Asian cultures, particularly in China. Traditionally, it has been utilized for its potential health benefits but specific uses vary widely and are not consistently documented across different traditions. Scientific evidence suggests that Coix may have some potential in cancer treatment; a study found that combining Kanglaite injection with toripalimab and chemotherapy showed manageable safety and preliminary antitumor activity in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients, though further validation is needed. In rheumatoid arthritis research, CSO from coix seeds modulated synovial tissue and serum biomarkers, indicating possible anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, fermentation of Coix seeds has been shown to influence microbial composition and enhance flavor profiles, potentially improving its nutritional profile by reducing starch and fat content while increasing protein and phenolic compounds. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been recorded for coix, but further research is warranted to fully understand its potential applications and effects.

Was die Wissenschaft sagt
- Die Kombination der Kanglaite-Injektion mit Toripalimab und Chemotherapie zeigte eine verwaltbare Sicherheit und vorläufige antitumorale Aktivität bei Patienten mit fortgeschrittenem NSCLC, obwohl die Ergebnisse noch zu überprüfen sind.
- CSO modulierte 16 synoviale Gewebemarker und 12 Serummarker zu Aminosäuren, Arachidonsäure, Lipiden, Sphingolipiden und Carnitinen bei Ratten mit rheumatischer Arthritis durch CFA.
- Die Studie zeigte an, dass verschiedene Getreidefermentationssubstrate die Mikroflora- und daraus resultierenden Geschmacksprofile bei saurer Fleisch beeinflussen, wobei Kornkernen von Coix grünliche und fettige Nuancen fördern.
- Die germinierte Coix zeigte einen verbesserten Nährwertprofil mit reduziertem Stärke- und Fettgehalt, erhöhter Proteingehalt und Phenole, sowie verringertem Bitterkeit.
- Zwei Patienten mit widerstandsfähigen Periungel-Würmern zeigten nach 3-4 Behandlungen, die Filiforme Feuerstich und das erwärmende und Kanalreinigende TCM-Dampfbad kombinierten, vollständige Wurzelabsonderung ohne Nebenwirkungen.
