JBNI.us - All Natural Herbal Health Care for Weight Loss, Pain, Anxiety, Depression and Allergies

Herbal medicines are considered health food in many Western nations. This perception is due to the slow action and low efficacy of herbal medicine.

JBNI scientists have formulated fast acting, safe, all-natural, herbal remedies that are as effective as commercial pharmaceutical drugs. JBNI scientists have been developing naturaceuticals for decades.

In 1974, the scientists of JBNI (then DHI) succeeded in developing all natural NSAID's (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). While developing non-anaphylactic NSAIDs, they additionally succeeded in combining the strong anti-inflammatory function with antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal qualities. As a result, the natural Formula 15.1 became the first antibiotic that also eliminated fungal growth as well as inflammations.

In 1978, JBNI (then OMR) scientists further succeeded in formulating over 50 natural formulas.

In 1989, JBNI (then JJHC) succeeded in further improving Formula 15.1 by strengthening its anti-inflammatory action and pain killing capabilities. This improvement marked the new Formula 15.3

In 1991, JBNI (then JJI) scientists collaborated with TSRA (Triple S Research Associates) in order to further improve the overall safety and efficacy of its formulas. All of JBNI’s formulas were created to adhere to a safety standard far exceeding any existing regulations. As a result, JBNI’s herbal formulas yielding zero side effects with a single dose at 1/500 -1/100 of body weight. Many formulas were also tested against metastatic breast cancer (closely related to lung cancer), colorectal cancer, and skin cancer.

While JBNI and TSRA scientists strived to set new industrial standards, they discovered that the FDA had not yet set any requirements limiting heavy metal concentrations in food products. FDA scientists have since developed new standards on heavy metal, herbicide, and pesticide content based in part due to data from TSRA and JBNI scientists.

In 1993, JBNI (then JJI) began distributing nutritional health supplements exclusively to licensed physicians in the USA, which included MDs, DOs, LAcs and DCs. This decision was implemented as part of a long-term clinical observation strategy.

Since 2001, JBNI (then JJI) scientists have intensified their research in the fields of genomics, genetics, DNA, and proteomics. Together with IDD, CTRC, Beckman, Cyphergen, Luminex, Millipore, and Panomics, JBNI scientists have succeeded in identifying specific biomarkers used to forecast many types of cancer even decades before onset. JBNI scientists, together with IDD, CTRC, and CPC, have since led their peers in cancer prevention studies ever since. Abstracts documenting their collaboration are featured annually in AACR, NIH, NCI, and EORTC conventions.

In 2004, JBNI's "Azmazin," received an IND (Investigational New Drug) number from the FDA as an asthma drug. It is anticipated to become the first natural drug, for asthma, approved by the FDA. Once completed, JBNI plans to apply for drug approval for each of its products.

In 2007, following three decades of careful observation, JBNI has made a select group of its products available to the public. These products are sold as nutritional supplements.

16th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets, Cancer Therapeutics Added 09/17/08
28 September - 1 October 2004, Geneva, Switzerland Abstracts Abstract 583: Serum proteomic biomarkers of a natural product in a prospective randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial in patients at risk for lung cancer Citation: European Journal of Cancer Supplements Volume 2, No.8, September 2004, page 177 S. Baek, D. Campos, E. Izbicka, J Jiang Cancer Therapy and Research Center, The Institute for Drug Development, San Antonio, TX, USA Smoking, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are known risk factors for lung cancer. The disease may be preventable, but many potential chemopreventive agents have not shown clinical activity in individuals at risk for lung cancer (Van Zandvijk et al, Lung Cancer 2003, 42:S71). A novel natural product LP01 demonstrated preclinical preventive and anticancer activities, and induced time-and dose-dependent changes in serum kallikreins and proteomic patterns in human lung cancer xenograft models (Baek et al, Proc AACR/NCI/EORTC 2003). The present study evaluated LP01 in a prospective, randomized, triple-masked, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial. In this study, lung cancer risk (15) was assessed based on length of addiction, asthma, and COPD, for a group of former long-term smokers (smoked > 20 years, quit > 1 year). This group, comprised of sixty men and women ages 3570, received oral daily doses of 3,650 mg LP01 or placebo for 6 months. Peripheral blood serum specimens were obtained at the baseline and after drug treatment for 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 4 and 6 months. Serum proteins were resolved on IMAC3/Cu metal affinity ProteinChip arrays and analyzed by surface-enhanced ligand desorption/ionization (SELDI). There were no adverse clinical effects of the therapy.

Identification of Serum Biomarkers for Lung Cancer Added 09/18/08
Background: Symptoms of lung cancer (LC) often do not appear until the disease is advanced; only 15% of LC cases are discovered while the tumor is in the early stages of development. Carcinogen exposure, asthma and smoking have been determined to be risk factors for the development of LC. Early detection of LC will likely have a major impact on the natural history of the disease, while helping to facilitate a curative treatment. The objective of this study was to apply multiplexed immunoassays to identify a panel of biomarkers for early detection of LC. Methods: Normal (NO) serum controls (n = 30) from healthy volunteers and lung cancer patients (n = 30) were acquired from a commercial vendor. Baseline (pre-treatment) serum specimens from individuals with asthma (AST; n = 28) and lung cancer risk (LCR; n = 73) were available from clinical trials of two novel agents that are being developed by JBNI Inc. for the respective indications. Serum levels of 59 cytokines, growth factors and biologically active peptides were quantified using multiplexed immunoassays using the Luminex platform to identify biomarkers that are expressed in a significantly different manner in individuals with LC, LCR, or AST in comparison with NO subjects. Data was reduced using nearest neighbor cluster analysis with squared Euclidian distance to separate patients into groups across analytes with inter-pathology comparisons determined using Student’s t test. Results: Multiple analytes showed highly significant differences (p < 0.0002) between LC and healthy controls as single indices of pathologic state. In addition we were able to differentiate AST from LC (p < 0.002) and LCR and LC (p < 0.0001) using a panel of thirteen markers in various combinations. Using multiplexed assays we found significant differences in biomarker levels in sera of LC compared to NO, in NO compared to AST and LC compared to AST samples. Our results support an extended multiplexed immunoassay-based analysis of serum biomarker profiles as supplementary tools for the diagnosis of pathologic and as an aid in the development of novel agents for prevention, early detection and treatment of LC. Conclusions: We have identified a group of markers having high inter-pathology discrimination power that are capable of reliably differentiating AST and LC from control specimens. This panel remains to be validated in a larger set of specimens but we are confident that these measures will produce clinical assays capable of reliably diagnosing lung pathology.

Novel serum biomarkers for renal cell carcinoma NIH AACR Added 10/11/08
Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is often undetected until it has reached an advanced stage. Currently there are no reliable blood biomarkers to monitor the presence of the disease and/or response to therapies. Mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomics provides tools for sensitive and high-throughput screening of proteinaceous biological samples and greatly facilitates biomarker discovery. Materials and methods: Sera from patients diagnosed with RCC were obtained at the baseline (n=14), then from the same individuals at week 1 (n=10), week 2 (n=5), and week 3 (n=7) after radical nephrectomy. In addition, unrelated RCC (n=4) and healthy control sera (n=30) were collected. Levels of inflammatory cytokines and growth factors (interleukins 1ß, IL 2-7, 10, 12, and 13, GM-CSF, interferon-ϒ, TNF-α) were quantified in multiplex immunoassays. SELDI TOF MS protein profiling of the whole sera and specimens immunoprecipitated with anti-kallikrein antibodies was done in IMAC-Cu arrays. Further purification and identification of differentially expressed proteins were obtained through a combination of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DPAGE), in-gel trypsin digestion and LC-ESIMS for peptide fingerprinting. LC-ESIMS/MS was then used for de novo peptide sequence analysis. Mass spectral data was reduced using the Mascot database search engine. Initial matches were refined and confirmed using raw data, then compared against decoy databases to reinforce identifications. Data was further refined using Progenesis Stats. Results: Serum levels of all growth factors and cytokines (except IL-6) increased, with significance (p < 0.05), above the baseline until 3 weeks post-nephrectomy. Conclusions: SAA, an inflammatory acute phase protein, has been viewed as a biomarker of host response in many human cancers. The recently reported presence of SAA in tumor tissue suggests an alternative function of the protein. Sudden disappearance of SAA versus persistent upregulation of multiple inflammatory proteins in post-nephrectomy RCC sera supports this notion. The additional matches derived from the 2D gels of the immunoprecipitates are all either reasonably expected or supported by recent literature identifications in other pathologies. The identifications of the other targets are being confirmed by independent methods. Selective proteome isolation by targeted Mass spectrometry is a promising analytical tool with potential clinical applications. Click here for the PDF presentation.

Proteomic Biomarkers In Drug Development Added 11/19/08
Biomarker (noun): Biomarkers are cellular, biochemical, or molecular alterations that are measurable in biological media such as human tissues, cells, or fluids. They indicate the presence of biological events or concerted events that are directly associated with a particular disease state. Molecular Biomarkers (noun): Molecular biomarkers include proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and other compounds that provide insight into an individual’s health for screening risk factors, diagnosis, and prognosis. Molecular biomarkers are also extremely useful for drug discovery purposes. Clinical Needs, Patient Perspective: Am I at risk for cancer? Is there anything I can do to alter the risk? Do I have cancer? Will my cancer respond to therapy? Is my cancer responding to therapy?... See Full Explanation of Biomarkers (PDF)
