And it is a natural form of pharmacy, developed by nature. It houses all kinds of medicinal chemicals that happen naturally, some that we know about, and new ones that we are finding out about from the caves.
The interesting thing is that legally, some modern medicines are found naturally in the caves. This should nullify the patents that Big Pharma has on them, since they are part of nature. And it should keep Big Pharma from obtaining patents on new ones that are natural, just like Big Pharma can't patent food.
Scientists discover HIDDEN PHARMACY in ancient limestone caves.
https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-02-17-scientists-discover-hidden-pharmacy-in-limestone-caves.htmlThe latest study on moonmilk, a mineral deposit found in caves and known for its curative properties, has led to the discovery of a mysterious compound active against bacteria and resistant to numerous antibiotics.
Since the beginning of time, humanity has been able to make use of the environment for resources, techniques and ideas to protect themselves from diseases and to be responsible for their health. While the effectiveness of definite ancestral practices has been shown and approved by modern medicine, the reasons behind several traditional medicines remain a mystery.
Moonmilk, a crystallization commonly found in different forms such as pasty, dry or liquid in limestone caves, is a speleothem (geological formation of mineral deposits) most often seen in the form of a soft rock depending on its hygrometry.
As reported by Sébastien Rigali, a molecular microbiologist at the Centre for Protein Engineering-CIP (InBios/Faculty of Science) of the University of Liège, there is a great deal of archaeological proof for its use as an anti-infectious agent, mostly in the Swiss and Austrian Alps.
Rigali’s laboratory decided to examine the microbial flora of moonmilk to discover the reasons for its use in human and animal therapy.
The first step was to go into the caves of the Condruzian plateau to search for deposits of moonmilk and to isolate filamentous actinobacteria, the bacteria that are winners in the production of antimicrobial agents. The scientists found several of them, both in number and diversity.
