Are medicinal plants useful
There are miriads of opinions on medicinal plants. The fact is that taking into account some real problems when intending to use them correctly, either for cure alleviate or support a medical treatment, there are a lot of achievements that cannot be denied.
I have been using medicinal plants extracts myself, for many years by now.
One of the cases, my benign prostatic hyperplasia. Despite of a malignant tumour development genetic predisposition and of the usual controls made, I am controlling my prostate immflamation since 25 years ago with (guess ?) medicinal plants !
First was Prunus spinosa, after Epilobium parviflorum, more recently Malva sylvestris and lately a few extracts combination. The exam results, always the same "Grade 1 adenoma" and PSA within normal range.
A final comment, would you want to know how much is this treatment costing me ? 4 (yes, four) american dollars a month !

I have psoriasis
After a lot of stressed years, due to economic problems and triggered by an additional emotional situation a typical pruritus, with small plaques formation, started to show up at my elbows. The smarting was very annoying sometimes.
Scratching produced a temporary relief. I tolerated that for about 10 days.
Thereafter I began my research. The medical analysis, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment would have taken a lot of weeks.
The literature review showed me some very awful cases. Mi problem, psoriasis though, was and still it is mild. At the next attack, preceded by another stress episode I started to test my own products made of plants extracts.
Locally I didn't get major achievements but, orally with individual and mixed extracts the situation was rewarding. Symptoms including pruritus disappeared in less than 24 hours. To create some catch for next posts, one of the plants that I have used is "sarsaparrilla" (Smilax officinalis), a vine that growth in our native bushes.
high cholesterol control
As a high blood cholesterol levels sufferer and with a couple of atheromas already formed in my artheries, I have made a quite complete research about this ailment.
In coming posts I will be writing my findings and comments on this very very complex pathological item.
I have to admit already that my dear plants are not very useful when the high levels are due to genetic information. Neither the diet, of course.

Aims
I will make the attemp to publish opinions, mostly mine, about medicinal plants use in human beings either to cure or to amelliorate aliments. Furthermore I will attempt to counterattack the traditional drug industrie actions that intend to stop the natural therapy to progress independently.
As a self-educated on this area, libraries and other media researcher, including chat with folkwisdom people, I have built an important dabase. With it as a guide I started to manufacture extracts and products, then I got volonteers to test them. The first and main laboratory animal has been myself and "still I'm alive and fighting". This is in memory of an unknown for me individual that put a placard on a very old Renault car "la chancha que aún vive y lucha!".
Slowly, as it should be and thanks to the actual technology I will be writing down, not on a paper but on the air or on the virtuallity, my opinions and findings.

During the past decade, traditional systems of medicine have become a topic of global importance. Current estimates suggest that, in many developing countries, a large proportion of the population relies heavily on traditional practitioners and medicinal plants to meet primary health care needs. Although modern medicine may be available in these countries, herbal medicines (phytomedicines) have often maintained popularity for historical and cultural reasons. Concurrently, many people in developed countries have begun to turn to alternative or complementary therapies, including medicinal herbs.
Few plant species that provide medicinal herbs have been scientifically evaluated for their possible medical application. Safety and efficacy data are available for even fewer plants, their extracts and active ingredients, and the preparations containing them. Furthermore, in most countries the herbal medicines market is poorly regulated, and herbal products are often neither registered nor controlled. Assurance of the safety, quality, and efficacy of medicinal plants and herbal products has now become a key issue in industrialized and in developing countries. Both the general consumer and health-care professionals need up-to-date, authoritative information on the safety and efficacy of medicinal plants.
During the fourth International Conference of Drug Regulatory Authorities (ICDRA) held in Tokyo in 1986, WHO was requested to compile a list of medicinal plants and to establish international specifications for the most widely used medicinal plants and simple preparations. Guidelines for the assessment of herbal medicines were subsequently prepared by WHO and adopted by the sixth ICDRA in Ottawa, Canada, in 1991.1 As a result of ICDRA’s recommendations and in response to requests from WHO’s Member States for assistance in providing safe and effective herbal medicines for use
in national health-care systems, WHO is now publishing this first volume of 28 monographs on selected medicinal plants; a second volume is in preparation
