[MPWG] Fw: [Phytomedica] Cinnamon helps fight against bird flu

Thu Aug 9 04:05:21 CDT 2007

Hello,
I imagine cinnamon has been used in veterinary applications for centuries.  Here are some interesting articles and websites about crossovers in human and animal medicine and herbal veterinary care:

Additonally, Juliet de Bairacli Levy wrote some outstanding herbals for veterinary care decades ago, as you might guess many of the remedies are similar or the very same to human remedies.

Best regards, Jennifer Chesworth

Long known for its medicinal and food uses, looks like cinnamon is crossing over into the veterinary field as well.

[Phytomedica] Cinnamon helps fight against bird flu

Cinnamon helps fight against bird flu
// 08 Aug 2007
Technology has been created whereby cinnamon extract is used as an air 
disinfectant against bird flu in airports, or as a daily supplement that protects 
people against the common flu.

Tel Aviv University technology transfer company Ramot has signed an 
agreement with Frutarom, a multinational neutraceutical company based in Israel, for 
applying a technology of using the a cinnamon extract in a whole host of 
applications from disinfecting the air as a spray against avian flu in airports, 
to a daily supplement that protects people against the common flu. The 
discovery was made by Professor Michael Ovadia, of Tel Aviv University's Department 
of Zoology.

Ovadia's initial experiments proved to be true - his savoury cinnamon 
extract was able to quickly and efficiently immunise chicken embryos from the 
Newcastle disease virus, one which costs the poultry industry in the US alone 
millions of dollars a year. 

Apparently further studies on avian influenza H9, Sendal virus, and Herpes 
Simplex 1 also achieved positive results. "Not only was the extract able to 
neutralise the viruses, it also showed for selected viruses that it has the 
potential to immunise against them as well." 

What the cinnamon does
Besides human applications, Prof Ovadia sees that cinnamon fills an 
important niche in the agricultural industry where chicks need to be immunised by 
hand against the deadly Newcastle disease virus. Applying his research to the 
global scale could only be done with the help of a large company, which is 
where Frutarom comes in. The Israeli-based flavour and food additive company has 
grown in the last 10-15 years from US$10 million a year to a projected US$350 
million by the end of 2007.

The review says that the University is going to take this know-how from a 
food supplement to protect people from illness to neutraceuticals in drugs, 
also realising that it can be used in agriculture against bird flu. "This 
represents a very diversified product," commented Frutarom's CEO Ori Yehudai.
