Re: what are the anti ciguatera herbs in 's rese...

[Guest guest]

What amused me about the study is that it included cannabis sativa and a

couple of peppers.

The Euphorbia is a spurge, grows wild.

Hi Kathy,

One of the plants is Kava Kava, you may have read 's posts on

this. Artocarpus Altilis is breadfruit, which seems like it would be a

good one to try. Euphorbia hirta is the only other one that's

commercially available as a remedy and is also known as asthma weed.

" used against asthma, bronchitis, worm infestation, conjunctivitis and

dysentery. The latex of the plant is used for warts and cuts. It also

has lactogenic properties. "

I guess you could get plants of some of the others, but there might be

the issue of toxicity.

It had some activity, but not enough to make the finals.

I will send you a copy of the whole study.

I can't find the paper right now - was cannabis one of the ones with

antitoxin activity? I've got the chart picture and it's not listed

among the ones with strongest activity.

Thanks very much, I can't seem to find it at all on my hard drive, so

I really appreciate it. I was just searching for one of the authors of

the paper on pubmed and found a new abstract that's interesting:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstra\

ct & list_uids=16364667 & query_hl=7 & itool=pubmed_docsum

Once again, it's on actual ciguatera and not the epitope but since

they are so similar may apply to us. Interesting that it says the

swollen red blood cells caused by ciguatoxin involve the Nitric Oxide

pathway.

Wanted to add that there a quite a few interesting abstracts that come

up when searching for this author to do with infectious diseases and

plant extracts.

This one involved investigating the antiviral activity of some natural

compounds against dengue virus:

It would be interesting to get Marty Pall's input on this.

I wish my brain weren't so fried so I coulddig into this more thoroughly for

myself.
