The following are clinical research summaries that Michael thought were important enough to include freely in his online materials. Though they are quite old, they may continue to be of interest somehow.
Michael’s commentary: Abstracts give one a place to start, a general idea of what topics and results are being pursued in current research…they offer a detailed weathervane for the scientific climate. These are generally abstracts from the last 10 years, and, as always, are predominantly of European and Asian plant research, usually on European and Asian plants. Most of these abstract files are by genus and reflect my personal interests. Some of these plants had seminal research done 15 or 20 years ago, and current monographs “mop up”, as it were. This is true of Harpagophytum, Aristolochia, Crataegus, Echinacea, and others…sometimes you hear the echoes of things before. As usual, many of the best herbal medicines are very poorly researched, at least by my standards. Support Your Local Researcher! (especially in North America).
You will notice the listing for each abstract: “ISSN”…this is a designation given to all registered periodicals throughout the world. You can find out more about this at the International ISSN Website, and the U.S. Library of Congress ISSN Website.
The “Registry Numbers” at the end of some abstracts refer to the universal chemical nomenclature maintained by the Chemical Abstracts Service.
