Research Tuesdays: sharing great research with the community Easier Pills to Swallow
Natural digestive system medicines are emerging with a previously elusive ingredient - evidence. "Alternative Medicines" have never had a popularity problem. They're currently used by almost half of all Australian households to爐reat a vast array of ailments. But credibility has been in short supply, with robust scientific rationales and evidence of effectiveness typically conspicuous in爐heir absence. New research at the 成人大片, however, is going some way to changing that. A large number of naturally sourced agents known as "bioactives" have been shown to have the potential to improve or, in some cases, supersede conventional pharmaceutical drug therapies for diseases and disorders of the bowel. In this fascinating presentation, research leader Associate Professor Gordon Howarth will explain how and explore the exciting爄mplications.
Gordon Howarth is a Cancer Council Australia Senior Research Fellow and leads the 成人大片's Digestive Health Research Group. He is also an Affiliate Associate Professor in the Gastroenterology Department of the Women's and Children's Hospital. WHEN: 5.30-6.30pm Tuesday 10 November
