FYI: Many of the new medicines developed here in the USA come from extracts from tropical plants, and 'strange critters', in Central and South America and Africa, the ocean, etc. If you ever travel through Panama, you should make a point to go to the Baro Colorado Island research station in the middle of the Canal - they do a lot of that kind of work.

Also, a new method for healing broken bones is to insert a segment of a special coral (..found somewhere in the South Pacific..) as I recall. The coral is pourous, so the new bone grows in, around and through it - and eventually the coral dissolves, leaving only the new strong bone.

Like Anna Rosannadanna used to say, "..You know, it's always sumpthin'......".

Have a nice day.
