I am having such pleasure reading research papers on PubMed (I know, I know, it's a govt tool). These days as I work in my yard, I look at a plant and think, "hmm--what might be the medicinal use of this?"--to my (initial, but no longer) surprise, every query I enter gets me good information. With references which I can look into. This is a really rewarding time to be interested in herbal treatments--30 years ago information was so scarce.
So, do you attribute that to higher frequency of relevant medicinal use papers to some big disgust of big pharma, or a long awaited dearth of this info for some reason? Try to tease out what you are really trying to say.
Repeatedly the paper authors point to a loss of effectiveness in currently available pharmaceuticals, and the need to look at plants (where so many---perhaps all--pharma products began) for new drug possibilities.
