Green Tea saves from sepsis

Sepsis - common infectious disease that occurs due to the penetration of the blood of various microorganisms and emissions of toxins in low resistance of the organism in the developed countries is one of the main causes of death of patients. For the treatment of sepsis is necessary to restore normal blood flow to cleansing the blood by passing the blood through an artificial filter.

Haychao Wang, leader of a team of scientists from the U.S. Institute of Medicine has decided to use for this epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) - extracted from green tea leaves substance. EGCG has been isolated by researchers from the University of Michigan in April of this year. They demonstrated its efficacy in the treatment of other autoimmune diseases - rheumatoid arthritis. Wang suggested that the cure for sepsis in green tea may be appropriate. And I was right: the survival of mice with sepsis treated with EGCG, increased from 53% to 82%. Feynshtenskie experts showed that the material counteracts inflammation. If we add here a tonic effect of other components of green tea on the cardiovascular system and lungs, you get a very effective remedy. No wonder the Chinese have been using green tea for thousands of years.
