the amount of healing that can be got from herbs in this day and age is truly amazing, as herbs work with the body as opposed to drugs that work on the body. one of the most remarkable healing herbs that i know of is the rosy periwinkle? never before was there as much excitement about a little flowering herb. the rosy periwinkle is a native of madagascar, and for hundreds of years the natives used this plant to treat many types of ailments the main one being diabetes. in 2001 western scientists found its healing powers unbelievable, so after samples were taken the scientists discovered 2 compounds within the plant called vinblastine and vincristine, research with these two compounds prompted the use of them in drug form for the successful treatment of cancer and leukemia. the survival rate of recovery from leukemia went up to 95per cent from a mere 10 per cent in children. this truly is a magic herb, there are herbs still not discovered that may cure every type of disease but finding them is another story. most of them will probably be in the rainforests but greed has forced men to cut the forests down for timber and to grow soya plants. 25 percent of these rainforests have gone causing freak weather patterns all over the globe , its time it was stopped and re-planting was undertaken to save us all the problems we will inevitably face in the future.
