Green Mountain Begins Research Project for Application of Bio-Miracle™ Products for use in Herbal Medicine Plant Growth Applications
CARLSBAD, Calif. – May 23, 2012 – Robert Brehm CEO of Green Mountain Development Corp (Pinksheet: GMND), announced the company has begun a research project to determine formulations and applications protocols for using the Bio-Miracle™ agricultural growth products for plant cultivation of herbs used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine, and herbal formulations from Africa, South America, Middle East, Asia and Europe.
Recently, the World Health Organization estimated that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbal medicines for some part of their primary health care. With such a high incidence of demand and an aging Baby-Boomer population in the USA, there exists an expanding market opportunity for growing herbal plants using natural products such as Bio-Miracle™.
The research project will involve herbal medicine growing experts and quantifiable field application results culminating in improved products specifically for herbal medicine plant growth around the world. The company anticipates the products will be available through licensing or joint venture for international distribution and manufacturing.
For shareholders and interested parties unfamiliar with herbal medicine, here is a brief discussion of the herbal medicine market published by the University of Maryland Medical Center:
What is herbal medicine?
Herbal medicine — also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine — refers to using a plant’s seeds, berries, roots, leaves, bark, or flowers for medicinal purposes. Herbalism has a long tradition of use outside of conventional medicine. It is becoming more mainstream as improvements in analysis and quality control along with advances in clinical research show the value of herbal medicine in the treating and preventing disease.
What is the history of herbal medicine?
Plants had been used for medicinal purposes long before recorded history. Ancient Chinese and Egyptian papyrus writings describe medicinal uses for plants as early as 3,000 BC. Indigenous cultures (such as African and Native American) used herbs in their healing rituals, while others developed traditional medical systems (such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine) in which herbal therapies were used. Researchers found that people in different parts of the world tended to use the same or similar plants for the same purposes.
In the early 19th century, when chemical analysis first became available, scientists began to extract and modify the active ingredients from plants. Later, chemists began making their own version of plant compounds and, over time, the use of herbal medicines declined in favor of drugs. Almost one fourth of pharmaceutical drugs are derived from botanicals.
Recently, the World Health Organization estimated that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbal medicines for some part of their primary health care. In Germany, about 600 – 700 plant based medicines are available and are prescribed by some 70% of German physicians. In the past 20 years in the United States, public dissatisfaction with the cost of prescription medications, combined with an interest in returning to natural or organic remedies, has led to an increase in herbal medicine use.
How do herbs work?
In many cases, scientists aren’t sure what specific ingredient in a particular herb works to treat a condition or illness. Whole herbs contain many ingredients, and they may work together to produce a beneficial effect. Many factors determine how effective an herb will be. For example, the type of environment (climate, bugs, soil quality) in which a plant grew will affect it, as will how and when it was harvested and processed.
How are herbs used?
The use of herbal supplements has increased dramatically over the past 30 years. Herbal supplements are classified as dietary supplements by the U.S. Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994. That means herbal supplements — unlike prescription drugs — can be sold without being tested to prove they are safe and effective. However, herbal supplements must be made according to good manufacturing practices.
