The Secret life of Plants
In collaboration with Qatar National Museum, Grade 6 students at Swiss International School Qatar have produced a magazine to preserve oral medical traditions and cultural practices. They also create ethical cosmetics and explore how football stadiums could feed hungry people. We are only young scientists so we do welcome feedback. This is a magazine written by children for children so there will be mistakes. Errata: Zaid's name is misspelled. The author is named Zade.

I chose my research question because in my household we<br />
commonly use these remedies, and I felt it was a good<br />
choice <strong>of</strong> topic because I was closely related to herbal<br />
remedies and I feel they have potential to change the world<br />
because three quarters <strong>of</strong> the world population do not<br />
have basic access to pharmaceuticals therefore can not<br />
treat themselves from even basic diseases like the<br />
common cold, so imagine people that have a problem like<br />
cancer, so they have a higher probability <strong>of</strong> death by 69%.<br />
I am also Qatari and I want to show my heritage and<br />
I'm very proud <strong>of</strong> it because this shows who we are<br />
and I want the world to know about my traditions,<br />
culture, and religion. <br />
This magazine article aims to explore the very interesting<br />
fight between herbal remedies and pharmaceuticals,<br />
highlighting their unique benefits, and potential impact on<br />
our overall health. By looking into this topic, I want to try<br />
and reinstate more herbal medicine and push towards the<br />
debate about its place in modern medicine. I was lucky that<br />
my grandfather is a western trained doctor who also<br />
knows local herbal plants so I interviewed him.<br />
Coming from somebody who uses a lot <strong>of</strong> herbs on a daily<br />
basis I can strongly suggest that herbal medicine is one <strong>of</strong><br />
the best ways to treat many illnesses by far. Just saying<br />
that is not enough, so let's compare herbs vs<br />
pharmaceuticals and I will do my best to meet every<br />
aspect to determine which <strong>of</strong> these two treatments will<br />
win but let's start with pharmaceuticals<br />
What's in the making process <strong>of</strong> drugs?<br />
Pharmaceuticals are <strong>of</strong>ten produced in laboratories or<br />
factories using APIs this means active pharmaceutical<br />
ingredients. For example, one <strong>of</strong> these chemicals is called<br />
cisplatin, this destroys mitochondrial, this is a gene group<br />
found in cells and they are responsible for generating some<br />
energy in the cell but if they are damaged this could lead to<br />
some problems for example the cells could start to work<br />
slow or less efficient but natural remedies do not have any<br />
<strong>of</strong> these chemicals that harm the mitochondria.<br />
What are the differences between herbal remedies and<br />
pharmaceuticals?
