What you have stated is the truth. I would add that those not in the academician register are too hollistic, for moi.<br /><br />Medicinal plants was part of our collective<br />memory, now gone.<br /><br />I bet in any other parts of the world following the USA economic model the same goes on. Alienation on the other hand, explains why most people not planting anything do remember what their mothers used to have in the yard, to cure this or that.<br /><br />Chomp: lo que indica es muy cierto. Por algo cada medicamento tiene al menos cinco contraindicaciones.<br /><br />rohrerbot: Do not waste<br />time. I am not into that bag. I think the reader can organize the material or not. Your duty is to present concepts, ideas that others should/can/may grab and develop on their own.antigonum cajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08227233232030093487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693157643476407910.post-41302243381719653322010-12-06T12:39:08.007-08:002010-12-06T12:39:08.007-08:00I actually am working on an ethnobotany post for t...I actually am working on an ethnobotany post for the next couple of weeks...the problem is that I have my field notes but haven't written them out in any coherent fashion.....in fact, several are sitting in the "edit room" waiting for me to publish:) I am a do it differently kind of person and don't like that people tend to stick together on things because they are afraid of the other path ahead of them.....I say, who cares! Just do it....it's the unique perspectives that keep it fresh and alive in any topic. Example. A cruise trip or a trip you plan away from the touristy areas.....I choose the latter...it's much more rewarding:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693157643476407910.post-15154165072457785532010-12-06T08:28:09.465-08:002010-12-06T08:28:09.465-08:00It is a pity that local blogs only bicker about po...It is a pity that local blogs only bicker about politics or the latest vulgarity trend. The folklore behind medicinal plants is vast in Puerto Rico, yet only a few publications exist on the subject, and are extremely academic.<br />In my youth you always found tartago, tuna, ruda and many other plants at any household. I know there is an oral tradition, passed by many generations, on these remedies. It would be very nice to see a blog written locally on the subject. Most blogs on medicinal plants are written outside Puerto Rico.<br />I guess that it is easier to buy the latest medicine at CVS or Walgreens than to find alternates using local medicinal plants.Beatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061547910120363116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693157643476407910.post-3201224613663248942010-12-06T08:00:22.066-08:002010-12-06T08:00:22.066-08:00Procuro en lo que cabe, no tomar medicamentos, me ...Procuro en lo que cabe, no tomar medicamentos, me da la impresión de que se confabulan los grandes empresarios de la medicina, para amolarnos mas de lo que ya estamos.<br /><br />Hasta pronto, gracias por tu entrada, un abrazote.Chomphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286833170726409521noreply@blogger.com
