The world from the other side
Friday 19 January 2007 at 4:47 pm. Normally we (the herbalist in me is speaking) complain about the fact that animal studies are used to predict the effect of herbs in the human body... Well, today i found an article stating that "the knowledge of the effects of phytomedicines on humans can't be extrapolated to animals because of inter-species differences". I thought it was quite funny to realise that they are going to start some studies just on animals to see if vets can use herbs as well (which is a very nice thing to achieve i believe). I think it is strange however that they still do extrapolate the results from animal studies to humans after such a statement...No comments
