Scientific Studies

[Guest guest]

Kirk posted references to some studies, just recently.

 

I keep running across an Indian study re: the pharmacological

properties of rudraxan, but I can't access the document.

 

I've run across a number of references to pharmaceutical companies,

such as Eli Lilly, Squibb, and Merck researching a particular chemical

in elaeocarpus. But these are mostly seminar schedule postings, to

discuss the research-- no actual methodologies or results are

published on the Net. There are also references to the use of

rudraksham for epilepsy, but... same problem.

 

In addition, there are also references to Aussie researches on the

pharmacological properties of quadongs, which are Australian varieties

of elaeocarpus. Same problem.

 

I did find something specific, once. I sent it to DDji, who sent it to

Neetaji. The results references CNS depressant, antibacterial, and

antifungal effects of a chemical component of the beads.

 

So, yes, I think that there is both ethnomedicinal and formal

experimental documentation of medicainal applications. But, I think a

lot of it is either intra-industry or proprietary.

 

I also once tracked down an ethnobotanist who I thought might have

some information. But, his specialty turned out to be in a slightly

different geographical area.

 

I've been trying to dig up Net research, off and on, for several

months.

 

The really interesting thing is the number of seminars, that I have

run across, on the subject, with presentations by major pharmaceutical

companies. Makes ya wonder JUST what they're talking about. makes ya

wanta attend one. Except I don't speak chemistry. In fact, I think I

got a "D" in it.

 

You might check out David's Rudra Center w/s, in Sweden. I think he

digs through the Net, on a regular basis. He often has good stuff,

about the pharm, and he seems to update fairly frequently.

Oh, BTW-- looks like the Hawaiians also make necklaces of a variety of the

beads. They look like ugly threes, though.
