San Bushmen's Hoodia Remedy for Obesity
Like generations of San Bushmen hunters before him, Elia Festus chews on a piece of the spiky Hoodia cactus to stave off hunger and thirst. A British pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm UK, together with the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has been conducting trials in order to develop the plant's patented extract, "P57", into an anti-obesity drug. If the drug gets produced, royalties accruing to the San Bushmen for their intellectual property could reduce their poverty and help save their dying culture.
