Um, those clinical trials in the UK are much harder to do than in Africa because regulations here are much, much stricter, and in general, the system is sort of, uh, biased against herbal medicine, so it makes it very hard to do that type of research.

But the team in Southampton has a great setup, and so we've been involved in various clinical trials of, for example, um, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi for urine infections, Pelargonium for, um, bronchitis, Andrographis for cough, um, and most recently, a Chinese, um, mixture of eight herbs called Shu Feng Jie Du for acute exacerbations of COPD.
