How about we make it easier
how many here still use in
remedies of the grandmother is caixa
still and the most difficult when
the grandmother’s remedy is used or
how many when they have some pain of
stomach head what runs off
cold what he does they go to the kitchen to
prepare the milk with garlic that tastes
disgusting the mls appointment is not true with
with lemon juice or run to
first-aid kit or pharmacy closest to
buy that medication for the
cold day or night that also
you know rich costs cheap and you’re going to win
tomorrow, I’m sure that the
most of you because I do it
do the second most of us run to
the pharmacy is true and then
we found the remedies and the
medicines for any discomfort a
headache a toothache or what
let it be and many of us buy
the medication without even noticing
what is it that contains some now
they are putting more batteries and then
prefer to use natural products
they say is true they have asked him some
moment how many of the medications that
they are in the pharmacy it really comes
of natural products, because some
years 100% of medicines came
of natural products mainly from
the plants currently only half
of them come from some product
natural because they are not even products
pure naturals do not come with mixtures of
synthetic products remains is just
that synthetic compounds that does
as 200 years has begun to elaborate
chemically and that logically help
to alleviate some discomforts but there
are not the side effects that already
Many start doing
where are these products coming from
natural
someone has ever asked
who is it that discovered the power of
chamomile who once discovered
the power of echinacea how it has
discovered the power of those plants
it’s a question that really does not do not
I did it like that until I really
started to work with with plants and
I am Mexican botanist to the plants that
for many boring
it’s true because they do not move they say
there the logos are good to me
yes I liked it but also besides
of being beautiful has beautiful flowers
they have many many properties
properties that are gone
discovering with time our
ancestors many years ago trying
one plant trying another one the
they used food suddenly they
they realized that it served to improve
some discomfort and that’s how little he’s gone
generating knowledge about these
plants some many of them with
healing powers medicinal plants and
Well now they are used in many stop
for many for many diseases
for food for many things but
some time they have asked if that if
that discovery of those plants
medicinal out if those plants that
have been discovered to date is already
the most there is why this
discovery you have to think that you have
been based on a true experiment
trial and error like when kids
the babies start to put together a
puzzle to put chips is not
true to forms and suddenly they try
try and fail and try again
you may be knocked down with the
correct tab but you may have to
make many attempts to discover the
correct tab hit ss knowledge
of trial and error is what we
we apply since we were born and it’s like that
how things are discovered by stealing
wandering and trying again until
discover, but if so, maybe
then many medicinal plants
are still hidden
there in the jungle is not true in the
forests that have not been discovered
still
this is one of the questions that has been
raised a group of scientists in the
university of copenhagen and in the
university of sweden where he had the
lucky to do my doctorate about
years
the question was whether the medications that
that we have to date are the best or
if they are still in there, no
hidden somewhere that could
really surpass those we have
now we have a lot to date is not
true a lot of technology and several
exhibitions have spoken previously
technology is revolutionizing
all level in the science of
computing at all levels and suddenly to
Sometimes we come to think of ourselves as superheroes
it’s true because then we can already
do it all
transmission of information as
it was given before we did not have facebook
we had it the twitter is more some
people still do not have it say for
there but these tools help us
to many things is not true also to
transmit this information so
violent and asks what is original be
that the information is replicated
original to all the people to whom
it’s coming
this did not happen before the transmission of
information was basically mouth in
mouth
some had no no no facebook
There was where to put that information
so that a lot of
that information a lot of that
ancestral knowledge is gone
losing
then to show the
importance that this has
knowledge but at the same time for
see if this science
if these advances can help us
find this new medicine this
this group of researchers has
raised the question if maybe
could find the best cure for
malaria
you have had to hear about
malaria malaria is a disease
which has been affecting for many years
who from years to humanity and still
is affecting many areas of
Africa is usually a disease
that affects hot areas without
almost all the tropics affect disease
many people and c is reflected in the
form of fever chills and is a
deadly disease
the cure for malaria has been
discovered I know how 300 years in
reality is a disease that arose
basically in europe and it was brought
to america
about 1,630 or so
then around that time
disease was brought from europe but
ironically almost the same moment as
the disease came to america
the cure came from america asia
europe and that was the cure was the cortex
a tree is a tree that
denominates shoulder
this bark in the form of infusion
they made dust and he drank it like mate
It served to cure fevers of the
coincidence that at that same time the
countess of chinchón says a person
very famous
the wife of the vice king of Peru was
in america and fell ill with malaria and
the local people recommended him to take the
matte of the corner crust
miraculously the countess was healed from
then the bark of the cinchona bark
super fan access
the story now we know it’s a
complete lie we have done review
historical and we know that this is a
complete lie but it served to for
the marketing of the crust is what
that seems to really happened it seems
that he was an Indian who was
suddenly walking through the woods
he felt fever and could not walk anymore
then he threw to the ground and took water from
a river realized that the water was
half bitter but after a while the
fever when it was already well reacted
and started looking around and it happened
account that there were several trees of
kina growing around
then something had towards them that
they started treating him to use it and he did not
used normally for the faithful but in
this case turned out to cure a countess
behind the bark it became so famous that
started exporting to Europe in
large amount is much much much
bark as seen in the photo here
It was exported in sacks when it was
doing my field work in caranavi
the most that a person had with a
twig said authors are taking out
want to go like that, they know the plant
because nobody knows her anymore and she told me
sure if my grandfather took it out and
they exported here for lots of a time
in which the kina bark varies more
that gold and many people left the mines
to go find kim trees to
To the mountain
so if you think about the
value that this plant has made
a lot of time and how they started it
logically extract at some point
I had to end like this
the discovery of this court has been
given in south ecuador and people
from Europe began to arrive in america
to start looking for the bark towards
the north to the south they went towards
Colombia went down to Peru arrived
up to bolivia looking for the equine crust
I actually found it but it was such
the export amount of the bark
that the moment you started digging
they started using other trees and
they mixed that crust and then the
quality was not the same and
where the question is born we now have
so many facilities not only in the middle
scientific but also the medium
technological at all levels
now DNA can help us define
who are our relatives more
nearby they say that they are the
monkeys the same goes with the plants
then why not use those
tools to see not if out there
these genetic relationships can
help interpret if these things
you know that the more
related we are certainly among
the organisms more properties
we share
if my family has blue eyes not
has then it is likely that my son
I do not even have a nephew
blue yes or that we are tall or that
we are low while the closer
the kinship and more property more more
probabilities that these
characteristics are shared and what happens
same with the plants and that then
what if there is a plant out there that
it was not discovered because everyone was looking
the machine for that then with the group
be of scientists we are dedicated to
look for these plants we try to revive
whatever our people had done
ancestors throughout South America and then
we go through all the Andes looking for
these plants a very hard job
I tell them that I had a good time
walking days and days because in addition
now the places where there used to be
forests no longer there forest see me ay
loaded with a backpack but with the
best binoculars gps altimeter
and all the equipment that you want necessary
for my field work and to collect
these plants not only bark
corner but of those that are more
related to search properties in
each case we collected bits
sheetlet bits of bark
do the corresponding analyzes and
analyze them and see what came next
but while I was walking I was wondering
how hard will it have been for the
people who did not have all these
possibilities a 4×4 car to get
until the little town lohan had to
walk days and days to search and
when they found the tree
I just grabbed a leaf and a
if you cut yourself and put it in your backpack
they had to lower the whole bark
put it in a sack if they did not
dry do not load her shoulders and go back to
go down to the place where they had
connected bark imagine what
difficult that it had to be for
they
in short I had the advantage of working
in the best laboratories in the world
with the best technology had the
lucky to visit the best be several
in the world and corroborate my collections
and make an identification 36 this is
a doctorate of wonder and that believes
when I finish my doctorate
it turned out that the species that had
found 1630 cataloged as the best
species to cure the machine was the same
that I found the 2016 doctorate and
then I got frustrated and
I said no or four years of my life
wasted to find the same and
said that I told my guardian and that
I said I tried it and then but then
I can analyze this is what I do not
we have thought about us
this what we are not analyzing a
knowledge that there is already been there
for years that because of laziness that because
we think we can do everything with
the science and technology that we have
now we are not reviewing we are not
wanting to go back to review what
and we do not use that
knowledge to create new things
to make this science something much
more productive because we do not start
talk to our children and tell them
the stories because we do not review a
little to where it comes from
that is the remedy of the grandmother and not
I’m talking only at the plant level
medicinal I’m talking at all levels
in science in politics all level
because we do not see what the culture was
the people to take care of the water for example
we want to build new and new systems
things and with a lot of money and we ‘re not
sitting for a while to read a book or
see what has happened that is what
that has been done before
gentlemen, we are in a world in which
We have many many tools for
do science to do work for
great quality but if we do not use our
our traditional knowledge
ancestral knowledge
we are losing a lot of time
I’m not here to make famous for
receive likes I’m here because I knew
what would you be who are
a group of people who want to go out
forward I want to use these ideas
to get ahead to take a step
more and do something more productive by
our country
I hope that after this talk
have really taken this message
to the house
let’s go back a little bit and let’s check
has done we do not have all the rail and
we teach that also to our
children
gentlemen thank you very much
to
