Under the terms of the agreement, the San
people will receive regular fees as the drug - developed from a plant
used to suppress the appetite - passes various stages on the way to
market. They will also receive a
proportion of the royalties if and when it becomes commercially
available, which could be in as little as five years. The San people hailed the agreement as a "joyous moment". "In the past, it used to be the norm to exploit their knowledge and
culture but today is an example of how things have changed," said Kxao
Moses, chairman of the Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in
Southern Africa. Harnessing knowledge The San people, who number about 100,000 and who originate in the
region of the Kalahari desert in south-west Africa, have used a plant
called hoodia to suppress hunger pangs on long hunting trips for
generations. But although Western scientists became aware of the plant's potential
100 years ago, it was only recently that its active ingredient - P57 -
was patented by the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial
Research. Subsequently, a British biotechnology company, Phytopharm, and the
pharmaceuticals giant Pfizer acquired the rights to its development and
commercialisation as an anti-obesity drug for use in the West. Now the San people, in the first deal of its kind, will be rewarded
for the development of a drug which makes use of their traditional
knowledge. At the signing of the agreement in Andriesvale, a small town in the
Kalahari desert in South Africa's Northern Cape province, South African
Minister of Arts and Culture Ben Ngubane said the deal symbolised "the
restoration of the dignity of indigenous societies". "The responsibility that comes from playing in the field of
biodiversity, arguable Africa's richest asset, is not slight," he said.

Grapefruit seed extract This unlikely herbal infection-fighter is synthesized from the seeds and pulp of the grapefruit. It was farmers who first used grapefruit seed extract (GSE) to inhibit the growth of mold on their equipment; later, cosmetic companies added it to their products as a preservative. Then, claims that GSE could fight infections in people spurred interest within the dietary supplement industry, and in the 1980s, GSE products started to appear in health-food stores. It is sometimes also called citrus seed extract. Health Benefits . Grapefruit seed extract has been most heavily promoted as a treatment for Candida albicans , a yeast naturally present in the human body. Candida can cause complications when it grows out of control, however. GSE is particularly popular for controlling vaginal yeast infections caused by Candida, and in treating a poorly understood intestinal condition called Candida overgrowth syndrome (COS). Some nutritionally oriented doctors recommend GSE capsules, liquids, and powders for bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, including COS. No drug or nutrient interactions have been reported for GSE. ___________________________________________________________________ Where can I keep my herbal product?
