Ivan As soon as I read the article I was searching for the sap and plant which I found in Florida and Hawaii. I don't think any sap is available commercially. According to the article, shelf life is only 10 days. I thot I would buy a plant, cut a stem and use the sap.
Procrastinator that I am, before I could get my butt moving, the 2nd article clarifying Dr. Muthotho's work was posted. My hopes were dashed by the following excerpt: "Finally, the title of your article, "Local cure for herpes found," was incorrect. The correct position is that there is no known cure for herpes zoster. The herbal medicine only treats the external symptoms by relieving the pain and drying up the lesions."
