Big money from traditional medicine industry
Malaysia Star
Tongkat ali meanwhile is one of the most expensive herbal plants sold on the market and for good reasons too given its nickname as nature’s testosterone booster. The shrub is very rare and some said searching for tongkat ali in the Malaysian jungle is akin to searching for truffles in France or Italy. At the same time many herb-based industry players are exploring ways to merge various herbal cosmetics healthcare and services biotechnology food and natural medicine into a single tourism product. Apart from direct herbal manufacturing operations new market segments could be developed including home spas herbal clinics and pre-and post-natal care using local herbal products. In fact the thriving herbal industry in Malaysia is expected to reach almost RM10bil in 2009 and likely to grow 8% to 15% annually in line with the growing acceptance for herbal based natural phyto-medicine globally. The World Bank has also estimated that the global market for herbal-related medicinal products is poised to escalate to US$5 trillion in 2050 from about US$200bil in 2008. Capturing 1% of the global market share by then could easily translate into a RM190bil industry for Malaysia! Taking these facts into account Malaysia is doubling its effort to position itself as a “rainforest herbal hub” where local and foreign companies can conduct research to develop more TCM products for healthare and other related applications.
Engineered antibodies fight AIDS virus in monkeys

Photograph by: Chris Hondros Getty ImagesWASHINGTN (Reuters) – Researchers may have discovered a technique that will eventually lead to a way to vaccinate against the AIDS virus by creating an artificial antibody carried into the body by a virus. This synthetic immune system molecule protected monkeys against an animal version of HIV called SIV the researchers reported in the journal Nature Medicine. While it will be years before the concept could be tested in humans it opens up the possibility of protecting people against the fatal and incurable virus. "Six of nine immunized monkeys were protected against infection by the SIV challenge and all nine were protected from AIDS" Philip Johnson of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and colleagues wrote. Several attempts to create a vaccine against the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS have failed. AIDS not only attacks the immune cells that usually defend against viruses but it quickly hides out in an as-yet undiscovered "reservoir" so the immune system must be primed to capture virtually every single virus.

Transparency best medicine for banks
CITY A.M.
Lehman going bust didn’t destroy the system; what did was the realisation of the magnitude of the problem facing banking and the immediate freezing up of the money markets. Many feared that the unwinding of Lehman’s CDS positions would destroy everybody else; but the process went much more smoothly than feared. The real problem at the time was the opaque nature of relationships and the fact that CDSs were not exchange-traded. Had everybody understood who AIG’s counterparties were and how exposed they were a more rational decision could have been taken. We eventually found out that few if any of the counterparty hits would have been fatal; it would have been much cheaper to bail out one or two the counterparties than to nationalise the whole of AIG. Much greater transparency would allow failed banks to be wound down without panic. Counter-party risk is a real issue; but it hasn’t made every big bank too large to fail.
How to cut risk of brain disease
HeraldNet
But emerging evidence indicates that toxic environmental exposures in combination with nutritional social and exercise factors may play a major role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease Parkinson’s disease and other chronic degenerative diseases according to Dr. Landrigan is chairman of community and preventive medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. Here I’ve summarized a report from Landrigan and his colleagues about environmental factors that threaten the health of your brain. Environmental risksLead: In a study of older men participants with the highest lead exposure showed 15 more years of brain aging compared to men with the lowest exposure. Both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease are linked to lead toxicity in other studies. Air pollution: Toxic chemicals in the air can harm your brain.
