Dear All

I recently asked if anyone had any info on cps used as medicinals.
Many thanks to all who answered. However, I was just wondering if
anyone had seen/heard/used cps used in T.O.M. (this doesn't
include cough syrups, etc developed mainly in Europe)??

Nepenthes appear to be used in some remedies, but I have never seen
them used in any TOM. Does anyone have any slides of them in use,
being sold in markets or literature about their medicinal use ??

Ta very much.

Mad
