ATMS Submission Published Scientific Research Evidence February 2020 SUBMISSION: DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH NTREAP – EVIDENCE FOR TRANCHE ONE Report prepared by: Peter Berryman, President; Christine Pope, Treasurer 20/02/2020 THURSDAY, 20 FEBRUARY 2020 Natural Therapies Review 2019-2020 Department of Health By email: [email protected] Submission – Citations for published scientific research studies for consideration in the Natural Therapies Review 2019-20 Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission to the Natural Therapies Review 2019- 2020. The Australian Traditional-Medicine Society (ATMS) is Australia’s largest national professional association of natural medicine practitioners. ATMS is a multi-modality association representing around 9,000 accredited practitioners and students throughout Australia. ATMS currently accredits 20 natural medicine modalities. ATMS promotes and represents accredited practitioners of natural medicine, who are encouraged to pursue the highest ideals of professionalism in their natural medicine practice and education. ATMS has consistently opposed the process, deliberations and outcomes of the 2015 Review of the Australian Government Rebate on Private Health Insurance for Natural Therapies. We have argued that in the 2015 Review the methodology was flawed and the final Report does not provide a sound basis for Australian public policy. ATMS supports the process currently underway with the Natural Therapies Review Expert Advisory Panel (NTREAP) 2019-2020. The current call for evidence is for natural medicine therapies identified as tranche 1. Of these therapies ATMS currently accredits: • naturopathy; • western herbal medicine; and • shiatsu The proposed next call for evidence is for natural medicine therapies identified as tranche 2. Of these therapies ATMS currently accredits: • aromatherapy; • Bowen therapy; • homeopathy; • kinesiology; and • reflexology. Attached is a detailed list of evidence to support both the practice of Naturopathy as well as the tools of trade. Evidence has been provided in the form of abstracts and citations for Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2 (CAM) Submission 20/02/2020 Naturopathic Practice and the tools of trade for Naturopaths which include Herbal Medicines and Nutritional Supplements. The evidence covers both Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses as well as Randomised Controlled Trials. ATMS will make a further submission for tranche 2 when called to do so. Yours sincerely Peter Berryman ATMS President ATMS acknowledges the contribution to this submission by: Sandra Grace Cathy Avila Colleen Rowe Peter Berryman Christine Pope The team at Metagenics, specifically Laurence Katsaras and Marla Cunningham Complementary and Alternative Medicine 3 (CAM) Submission 20/02/2020 4.

J Altern Complement Med. 2019 Feb;25(2):141-168. doi: 10.1089/acm.2018.0340. Abstract OBJECTIVE: To summarize the current state of the research evidence for whole-system, multi-modality naturopathic medicine. DESIGN: A systematic search for research articles from around the world was undertaken using MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, AMED, and WHO regional indexes. Naturopathic journals and gray literature were hand searched. No language restrictions were imposed. INTERVENTIONS: All human research evaluating the effectiveness of naturopathic medicine, where two or more naturopathic modalities are delivered by naturopathic clinicians, were included in the review. Case studies of five or more cases were included. RESULTS: Thirty-three published studies (n = 9859) met inclusion criteria (11 American; 4 Canadian; 6 German; 7 Indian; 3 Australian; 1 United Kingdom; and 1 Japanese) across a range of mainly chronic clinical conditions. The studies predominantly showed evidence for the efficacy of naturopathic medicine for the conditions and settings in which they were based. CONCLUSIONS: To date, research in whole-system, multi-modality naturopathic medicine shows that it is effective for treating cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal pain, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, depression, anxiety, and a range of complex chronic conditions.

An integrative review of dietetic and naturopathic approaches to functional bowel disorders. Complementary Therapies in Medicine, Dec2018; 41: 67-80. http://dx.doi.org.ezproxy1.library.usyd.edu.au/10.1016/j.ctim.2018.09.004Abs Abstract OBJECTIVES: Naturopathy and dietetics have evolved as two separate but parallel professions that use diet to promote optimal health and manage many illnesses and diseases. Given the increasing recognition of the influence of diet on health outcomes, there is increasing demand for the services of both professions. The aim of this research Complementary and Alternative Medicine 8 (CAM) Submission 20/02/2020 was to investigate similarities and differences between naturopathic and dietetic approaches to functional bowel disorders (FBDs). DESIGN: For this integrative review AMED, CINAHL, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, EMBASE, Medline and PubMed databases were searched for articles that focused on dietetic or naturopathic diagnosis and treatment of food intolerance expressing as a FBD in adults. (Registration: PROSPERO 2016 CRD42016049469). Results: Of the 55 papers in the final review, 10 discussed complementary medicine approaches to FBDs. Both dietitians and naturopaths used similar holistic approaches to diagnosis and treatment, adjusted diets as a primary treatment approach, and individualised treatment for their patients. The professions differed in their use of vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements and in their willingness to recommend other treatments like osteopathy and acupuncture. CONCLUSIONS: There is much overlap between dietetic and naturopathic approaches to assessment and treatment of FBDs. Further publications that describe naturopathic treatments for FBDs are needed to confirm these results and to provide opportunities for increased recognition and scrutiny of any distinctively naturopathic approaches. Without doing so, naturopathic practices are likely to remain marginalised and poorly understood. Moreover, the opportunity to fully contribute to the management of lifestyle-related diseases will be missed. I Jin AJ, Chin CJ.

The description of the cells of the lateral line system in a fish exposed or not exposed to different xenobiotics. A topographical and anatomical study of mechanoreceptors in the lateral line of the head of a teleostéen Gambusia affinis was conducted before and after exposure of the latter to specific doses of Gentamicin. Photonics microscopy shows that exposure to a daily mechanoreceptor dose of 80 mg of Gentamicin for 15 days engenders a separation of the cilia from the apex of the cell. However, the various component organ areas seem to keep structural integrity. However, the observation of the ultra-structure of ciliated sensory cell specimens treated with Gentamicin shows an alteration of the cell illustrated by the loss of the cilia of the apex and those synaptic structures of the basal cytoplasm.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Mitochondria are cytoplasmic organelles that regulate both metabolic and apoptotic signaling pathways; their most highlighted functions include cellular energy generation in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), regulation of cellular calcium homeostasis, balance between ROS production and detoxification, mediation of apoptosis cell death, and synthesis and metabolism of various key molecules. Consistent evidence suggests that mitochondrial failure is associated with early events in the pathogenesis of ageing-related neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Mitochondria-targeted protective compounds that prevent or minimize mitochondrial dysfunction constitute potential therapeutic strategies in the prevention and treatment of these central nervous system diseases. This paper provides an overview of the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, with particular attention to in vitro and in vivo studies on promising endogenous and exogenous mitochondria-targeted protective compounds.

Prodanchuk1, G. Balan1,O. Kravchuk1, P. Zhminko1, I. Maksymchuk2, N. Chermnykh1 1L.I. Medved’s Research Centre of Preventive Toxicology, Food and Chemical Safety, Ministry of Health, Ukraine (State Enterprise), Kyiv, Ukraine 2National Police of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine ABSTRACT. The Aim of the Research. Based on an analytical review of literature data, to identify a group of highly toxic chemicals which over the past decades are most often used in deliberate criminal and suicidal incidents, sabotage and terrorist act; the traffic, storage, use and disposal of which must be especially carefully monitored by law enforcement agencies. Materials and Methods. An analytical review of scientific publications was carried out using the abstract databases of scientific libraries Pub Med, Medline and text databases of scientific publishing houses Elsevier, Pub Med, Central, BMJ group as well as other VIP data- bases. Methods of systemic, comparative, and content analysis were used. Results and Conclusions. The scientific publications on hazardous highly toxic chemicals, which over the past quarter century are most often used in the world, notably in deliberate criminal and suicidal incidents, sabotage, and terrorist acts, are being analysed. It was found that these chemicals mainly include ricin, thallium compounds, organophosphorus compounds, as well as chemical warfare agents, arsenic and its compounds, cyanides, and inorganic water-soluble mercury compounds (mercury bichloride, sodium merthiolate), as well as paraquat and diquat pesticides.

Le carbofuran induit une inhibition significative de l’activité de l’AChE dans le cerveau dès 2!h d’exposition aux concentrations de 50!µg/l (19,6%) et de 100!µg/l (46%). Cette inhibition persiste pendant toute la durée de l’exposition. En revanche, la plus faible concentration en carbofuran (25!µg/l) n’induit une réponse significative (21% d’inhibition) qu’à partir de 6!h d’exposition. L’exposition au carbofuran a également modifié de façon sensible l’activité de nage des poissons. Une augmentation de l’activité locomotrice est observée après 4!h d’exposition à la concentration de 25!µg/l. À l’inverse, une diminution de l’activité locomotrice est observée en réponse aux concentrations les plus élevées (après 6!h et 8!h à 50!µg/l et après 2, 4 et 6!h à 100!µg/l). ABSTRACT.!-!Effects of carbofuran on brain acetylcholinesterase activity and swimming activity in Carassius auratus (Cyprinidae). Effects of exposure to carbofuran, a carbamate insecticide, on brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and swimming activity were studied in juvenile goldfish, Carassius auratus.
