PELL AMAR, BETWEEN EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE AND COMPLEMENTARY<br />
THERAPIES<br />
Larisa Ionescu-Călineşti, internal medicine physician, certified apiphytotherapy<br />
The last few years have witnessed an important evolution of complementary and integrative<br />
medicine , based on a holistic approach towards the patient, using natural remedies and personalized<br />
treatment. The Pell Amar mud extract is a product obtained through the processing of mud from lake<br />
Balta Alba , Buzau region. The mud’s positive effects , which are anti-inflammatory , analgesic and<br />
trophic , have been well documented by clinical studies taking place in universities and spas, in the<br />
country and abroad. Lacking any adverse effects, being obtained through an original method of extraction<br />
, exclusively through physical means , Pell Amar represents a natural alternative to anti-inflammatory<br />
treatments (inhibits the inflammatory process by 54%, compared to 56% - fenilbutazone), also having<br />
analgesic, sedative and biotrophic–regenerative effects. At the National Institute of Complementary and<br />
Alternative Medicine “Prof dr. Florin Brătilă” the extract was used in combined treatments with<br />
acupuncture , phytotherapy , homeopathy – in rheumatic diseases, post-traumatic locomotory disor<strong>de</strong>r,<br />
polyneuropathies, skin conditions, peripheral circulatory disor<strong>de</strong>rs with very good results and tolerability.<br />

Introducere: Prezenta acidului carbonic in apele carbogazoase mareste puterea <strong>de</strong> dizolvare,<br />
astfel incat apele carbogazoase sunt a<strong>de</strong>sea ape mixte (bicarbonatate, clorurate sodice, sulfuroase, etc).<br />
Apa minerala carbogazoasa a izvorului nr 1 Borsec a fost studiata intens pana in anii 90, aceasta avand<br />
efect <strong>de</strong> sca<strong>de</strong>re glicemiilor la pacientii diabetici. Sindromul metabolic este incriminat in cresterea<br />
riscului <strong>de</strong> boala cardiaca ischemica si boala cerebrovasculara. Prezentul studiu isi propune sa <strong>de</strong>termine<br />
daca crenoterapia cu apa minerala carbogazoasa provenita din izvorul nr 1 Borsec influenteaza<br />
componentele sindromului metabolic.<br />
Material si metoda: Studiul este <strong>de</strong> tip prospectiv, simplu orb, randomizat, aflat in faza <strong>de</strong><br />
recrutare. Studiul va cuprin<strong>de</strong> un numar <strong>de</strong> 120 <strong>de</strong> pacienti cu sindrom metabolic, impartiti in trei loturi:<br />
lotul A va primi apa minerala carbogazoasa, lotul B va primi apa plata Borsec, lotul C va primi apa<br />
simpla <strong>de</strong> la robinet. Pacientii vor primi apa in cantitate progresiv crescuta timp <strong>de</strong> 3 saptamani. La<br />
intrarea in studiu si la sfarsitul acestuia se vor <strong>de</strong>termina: MCP – 1, Human MCSF, TNF beta,<br />
Interleukina 6, PCR inalta sensibilitat, Glicemie, Colesterol (total, LDL, HDL), trigliceri<strong>de</strong>, acid uric,<br />
fibrinogen.<br />
Rezultate: Studiul este inca in faza <strong>de</strong> recrutare, nefiind disponibile momentan date preliminare.<br />
Pe baza datelor din literatura si din arhiva INRMFB apa minerala Borsec are efect asupra glicemiei,<br />
<strong>de</strong>terminand sca<strong>de</strong>rea acesteia. De asemeni creste eliminarea urinara <strong>de</strong> acid uric. Daca are efect si asupra<br />
markerilor <strong>de</strong> inflamatie precum si asupra celorlalte componente ale sindromului metabolic ramane <strong>de</strong><br />
<strong>de</strong>monstrat.<br />
Concluzii: Apa este prezenta in alimentatia zilnica a oricarui om. Utilizarea acesteia ca adjuvant<br />
in tratamentul unor afectiuni cum este sdr metabolic sau diabetul zaharat sau in profilaxia acestora ar<br />
putea beneficia <strong>de</strong> o complianta crescuta din partea partea pacientilor si ar constitui o metoda ieftina.<br />
CHRENOTHERAPY WITH CARBOGASEOUS MINERAL WATER<br />
FOR PATIENTS WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME<br />

Introduction: The presence of carbonic acid in carbogaseouse water increases the power of<br />
disolvation, carbogaseous water beeing frequently mixed (bicarbonatated, sodium chlori<strong>de</strong>, sulphurouse<br />
etc). The carbogaseouse mineral water from Borsec, nr 1 spring was intensively studied before ’90, its<br />
effect being on <strong>de</strong>creasing the level of glicemia in diabetics. The metabolic syndrome has been<br />
incriminated in increasing the risk of cardiac ischaemic disease and cerebrovascular disease. The present<br />
study wants to <strong>de</strong>monstrate if the chrenotherapy with carbogaseous mineral water from Borsec, nr 1<br />
spring, influences the components of metabolic syndrome.<br />
