Presently there is a lot of research available on the screening of herbal drugs as antibiotic. Does anyone have such report that one has screened for a natural herbal drug as antibiotic and it is now in use in clinics as antibiotic?
I have not heard like this. If you find something please forward me.
Thanks Abolghasem Hhedayatkhah for the info, but dear you are not getting what I am asking I am asking about the Herbs that are screened for their antimicrobial potential, Are they in use in Clinics for the same purpose.
The drug you have discussed here i.e Crofelemer (Fulyazaq) is treating the diarrhoea in HIV patients, but it also states that this Fulyazaq is treating diarhoea which is not caused by MICROBES...it has in last paras "Before treating patients with Fulyzaq, health care professionals should conduct proper testing to confirm the diarrhea is not caused by an infection or a gastrointestinal disease"
Infact it is causing infections as side effect it states that "patients taking Fulyzaq in the clinical trial were found to have upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis".
And like Fulyazaq their are many drugs which are used as a treatment for various other diseases. Their are infact a long list of such drugs that are used in Clinics for various other treatment
I was asking specifically about HERBAL DRUGS THAT ARE SCREENED FOR THEIR ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIAL, ARE THEY IN USE FOR THE SAME PURPOSE IN CLINICS
The other question about the Quality Control of the drug that is different issue and Infact I agree their that any drug to be used for the welfare of mankind should be properly screened not only for their therapeutic effect but also for its Standardization and Quality Control.from the time its seeds are sown in the soil to the point it is getting into the patient.
And one small thing that I am Miss. Sumbul (not Mrs.)

At http://www.ecoseeds.com/mrsa, I have discovered 79 different plants that kill drug resistant bacteria, like MRSA,. But being located in the USA, the FDA makes it nearly impossible to get any of these products, which could be used very safely as topicals or in inhalers, to market. Perhaps I need to market my antibiotic plant products in countries that still accept herbal medicines? Does India still allow that?
There still is a conflict between ancient herbal medicine and European-American purified compound medicines, where the herbal product are always seen as inferior and that there is a certain unreasonable fear about them because they are powerful things directly from nature, and not man-made compounds. We seem to always want to be the powerful ones, and not recognize that nature is always going to be more powerful.
May this link is helpful to you.

For the USA, for any material you are claiming has the ability to cure something, the FDA has what they call "monographs" which is the list of compounds that are already approved for use, say for example a topical to cure acne. If your topical compound is not already in the FDA monograph for topical acne cures, then it is an impossible dream and probably $100 million to get it in. That is where herbal medicines, that maybe have been used for centuries are stopped at the door.
