Herbal medicine used to treat smallpox in the 19th century found to halt viral replication in vitro

An old herbal remedy for treating smallpox that is thought to have been used by native Americans in the late 1800s has been rediscovered and found to kill the poxvirus. Smallpox has been eradicated, but the finding offers a possible treatment for poxvirus in the unlikely event of a bioterror attack or increased incidence of similar poxviruses such as monkey pox.

Historical sources suggest that in the 1800s, when smallpox still posed a serious threat, the Micmac native Americans of Nova Scotia treated the disease using a botanical infusion derived from the insectivorous plant Sarracenia purpurea, a species of pitcher plant.

Now, Jeffrey Langland at Arizona State University in Tempe, US, and colleagues have conducted in vitro experiments with the herbal extract and found it inhibits replication of the variola virus, the causative agent behind smallpox.

The team made extracts of S. purpurea and found that it was highly effective at inhibiting the replication of the virus in rabbit kidney cells. They then looked at the replication cycle of the virus and found that the herb inhibits mRNA synthesis, halting production of proteins vital for replication. ’Other drugs are being developed against smallpox, but S. purpurea is the only known therapy that will target the virus at this point in the replication cycle,’ says Langland.

Re: Native American remedy kills smallpox virus
"Historical sources suggest" native Americans were able to treat smallpox effectively? Really? What historical sources?

Traditional indigenous medicinal treatments are developed over a very long period of time through trial and error. Smallpox was introduced to native populations within a relatively short period of time. How could they possibly have known what plant to use to treat an entirely new deadly disease from Europe efficiently?

I imagine that because this is Indian medicine I seriously doubt you need a SHOT by a very good doctor. Yeah, right....with all the billions of people in India and the rural areas. uhuh.

Anyway, it won't matter because if you start with the sores popping out on you and serious eye pain you are going to roll the dice and take this before you submit yourself to who knows what poisons in a SHOT.

Thanks for that!
I bought a plant last year at the first mention of smallpox, it arrived with 5 large cups. One year later it has 26 small cups, a very cool plant to grow.

Was curious about dosage and best way to use it. The last paragraph answered all my questions, I'll retype it here...

"The root of the plant is the part employed. The dose, when reduced to powder is about a dessert spoonful, simmered in a pint of water down to half=a-pint; this is usually divided into two dozes taken during the day. Sugar should not be used with it."

I imaging the pitchers are useful too...

"What is Sarracenia purpurea used for?

The leaf and root are used as medicine. Pitcher plant is taken by mouth for digestive disorders, particularly constipation; for urinary tract diseases and fluid retention; as a cure for smallpox; and to prevent scar formation. A pitcher plant extract (Sarapin) is given as a shot."
