RE: Back to nature: Why science is looking to insects for new drugs
The Amazon jungle is a medicine cabinet that pharma's does not want to explore, because it does not generate profits. Our planet is awash with natural remedies that have either been categorized as illegal narcotics or controlled substances. Imagine if everyone grew a pot plant in their back yard...this would deal with most common ailments today, as it did once before. The pharmas do not want us to have access to "free" medicine, as it does not create wealth for them!. We should all go back in time and learn to respect Mother Nature for all that she possess.
Yes,All the major pharmaceutical companies as well as many scientific researchers are currently conducting studies on exciting new drugs emerging from jungle plants and studying the indigenous plant knowledge and the specific plants used by native shamans and healers.
