r Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
Bio -prospecting is the search for new medicines
in the rain forests of developing countries.
Historically, many drugs have been discovered in
nature. In the 21st Century, once a natural drug is
discovered, chemists will try to duplicate it in the test tube for greater
economy.
Many years ago, it was common to combine more than one drug
into one tablet or capsule. Some contained as many as three
different drugs. However it fell out of favour because it didn't allow
any flexibility of dose. From England comes a report that a new six -
drug pill will be coming. It contains ASA, a cholesterol-lowering
drug, folic acid and three blood pressure reducing drugs. It is not on
the market yet, but considering the excitement in England, it just
might be soon.
People often drink cranberry juice regularly to prevent urinary tract
infections. This juice is another of a selected list of natural products
that can alter the effect of the anticoagulant drug, warfarin. If you
take this drug and are a regular user of cranberry juice, inform your
doctor.
On average, Canadians consume about 1401b 163kg) of sugar per
year which translates into 500-600 calories per day. That's alot of
sweetness.

Again this year, dur-

been the focus. Each

raisers for M&S includ-

lenges. For instance,

& Service was originally
called Mission &
Maintenance --M&M. The
whole congregation
shared a bag of M&Ms.
This coming Sunday peo-
ple are being asked to
submit their hymn choic-
es along with how much
they are willing to 'ten-
der' to have that hymn
as part of our 'Buy Your
Favourite Hymn Day,' on
March 21. The highest
four bids overall will
win; so, if Pastor Van
Bergen wants her
favourite, Mansion On
The Hilltop, but is only
willing to pay $3 and
someone like Gordon Hill
is willing to pay $5 for
Onward Christian
Soldiers, then Pastor Van
Bergen is out of luck.
Tenders on bids for
hymns must be in by
March 14.
This Sun., March 14 is
