Željni znanja o zeliščih smo se v sredo, 18.02.09 zbrali v dvorani zadružnega doma na Mlinših pri Izlakah. Na vabilo RK Mlinše - Kolovrat & Zeliščarske Kmetije Plavica na predavanje 'Razne nevarnosti in zanimivosti pri uporabi zdravilnih rastlin' se nas je odzvalo dobrih šestdeset komadov in ko je ob sedemnajsti dr. Samo Kreft naznanil, da ima materiala za dobre štiri ure, je najprej kar završalo, potem pa smo ostali odprtih ušes do devete ure v neokrnjeni zasedbi.
[en] On Wednesday 18.02.09 we wnet to hear a lecture about the use of hearbs. At the begining, the lecturer Samo Kreft, Ph.D., a professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy modestly remarked that he is prepared for, say, 4 hours or so... The 5-dozen-head audience rustled a bit but when lecture started the four hours just flew by.
V izčrpnem in odlično izpeljanem predavanju smo se na široko seznanili s predstavljenimi zelišči, od osnovnih informacij, opravljenih raziskav, pri številnih celo do učinka posameznih sestavin na molekularnem nivoju. Predavanje je potekalo skozi sproščen dialog, saj smo pošlušalci dobro izkoristili prošnjo predavatelja po sprotnih vprašanjih.
[en] The talk was comprehensive and well-prepared and we learnd the herbs presented from their basic characteristics, relevant researches done in the medical and pharmaceutical field, and even in some cases the explanation of the herb effect at the molecular level was provided. As the audience was keen on learning, we were never short on questions.
Posebej smo se ustavili pri ameriškem slamniku (Echinacea purpurea), ki je dobro poznana sestavina pripravkov za višanje odpornosti. Izvedeli smo zanimiv podatek, da so raziskave na pripravkih iz Ameriškega slamnika doslej dokazale le kratkotrajen vpliv na odpornost. Bolniki, ki so zauživali tovrstne pripravke takoj po nastopu določenih bolezenskih znakov (pri prehladu, gripi, ...) so ozdraveli hitreje kot skupina ki je zauživala placebo. Vpliv preventivnega zauživanja pripravkov iz Ameriškega slamnika (zauživanje v daljšem obdobju pred nastopom bolezenskih znkov) pa doslej ni dokazan.
Seznanili smo se tudi z možnimi interkacijami vzporednega zauživanja želiščnih pripravkov in "klasičnih" zdravil. Kadar zauživamo zelišča ločeno od terapije, ki nam jo je predpisal zdravnik, se moramo zavedati, da lahko učinkovine zelišč bodisi oslabijo bodisi ojačajo (tudi do toksičnosti) učinek zdravil (izpostavljena je bila šentjanževka (Hypericum perforatum), ki v telesu pospeši presnovno aktivnost). Ker je s tem omejena učinkovitost zdravljenja, raba želiščnih pripravkov vsekakor zahteva posvetovanje z strokovnajkom.

[en] I found the presentation of the effect of the Eastern purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) products (sold as immune boosters and such...) to be especially interesting. Apparently, studies have shown a short-termed effect of the immunity amplification so far. Patients, which started using the Echinacea purpurea products soon after the manifestation of some ilnesses (like flue, cold, ...) have gotten well before the ones in the placebo control group. However, the preventive effect (using the products well-before the ilness) is not proven to this day.
[en] Also, the possible interactions between herb active ingrediens and the "classic" drugs was presented. The hearb-products which are consumed indipendently from the therapy perscribed by the doctor can interfere with the efectivness of the medical treatment. The hearb ingredients may either weaken or amplify (to the toxic range) the effects of other drugs (here St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) was mentioned, which increases the metabolism and thus causes multiple drug interactins).
So, herbs are not to be misused, and the best way before we decide to employ them for ourselves or someone else is to have a word about it with an expert.
