Integrating modern and traditional medicine: Facts and figures Artemisinin, which is extracted from
Artemisia annua or Chinese sweet wormwood, is the basis for the most effective malaria drugs the world has ever seen. Western researchers first became aware of the compound in the 1980s, though it had long been used in China to treat malaria.
But it wasn t until 2004 that the WHO endorsed its use worldwide. Much of this delay was because of the skepticism about the drug, and different research groups spent years validating the claims of Chinese traditional healers. Artemisinin is proving useful against other diseases too and has been shown to have great potential in treating cancers and schistosomiasis.

Failure can teach us a lot, but the key to success is knowing how to make it a temporary detour, not a dead end. By Janet Wilson.

Fear and shame are the bedfellows of failure, while its twin, success, enjoys all the limelight. And that s because we don t learn from it.

Ludwig Cancer Research study reveals how certain gut bacteria compromise radiotherapy
A study led by Ludwig Chicago Co-director Ralph Weichselbaum and Yang-Xin Fu of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center has shown how bacteria in the gut can dull the efficacy of radiotherapy, a treatment received by about half of all cancer patients. Their findings appear in the current issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
“Our study identifies two families of gut bacteria that interfere with radiotherapy in mice and describes the mechanism by which a metabolite they produce-a short chain fatty acid called butyrate-undermines the therapy,” said Weichselbaum.
