Bitter battle erupts over 'ampalaya'.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Nini Valera
DR. GUIA Abad will still drink her ampalaya tea even after the Department of Health reclassified ampalaya from a "scientifically-validated herbal medicinal plant to folklorically-validated herbal medicinal plant."
The Association of Municipal Health Officers of the Philippines (AMHOP) will also keep on recommending ampalaya-based products to patients suffering from diabetes mellitus despite the warning from the Bureau of Food and Drugs that ampalaya must not be used as an alternative treatment for that illness.
AMHOP is an association of doctors who handle health services at the municipal level.
Abad, who is president of AMHOP and the municipal health officer of Sta. Cruz, Laguna, told the Inquirer yesterday that ampalaya, the fruit or products made from it, was doing no harm in the treatment of diabetes, a disease that afflicts millions of Filipinos.
