There was also a posting here about the organization in India that fought and overturned the neem patent that a company had received and that the organization has been building a database of ancient herbal remedies to help fight these sleazy patents by drug. Also they have been doing the same with yoga postures to prevent what Bikram did. What next, will they need to do the same with the mantras, yantras, and tantras? ------------------------ Yahoo!
