Andre,

I hope you aren't leaving Wikipedia, as a recent post at "request to
de-sysop myself" suggested. I like your observation about remedy
studies.

You wrote:

<< The great majority of studies is financed by the pharmaceutical
industry. And the pharmaceutical industry is not interested in testing
traditional remedies, because they cannot be patented. They are
interested in them, but then to analyze the herbs etcetera used, hoping
to find out what substance in them is having the desired effect, and
then go on with only this substance or one that looks like it. >>

This text should be entered into the Wikipedia, if it's not already
there.

Cheers.
