Dr. Henry Lowe, who gained worldwide recognition after his research found that the Jamaican Ball Moss contains cancer-fighting properties, has already developed nutraceuticals from the Ball Moss and other Jamaican plants.
The scientist and his research partner Dr Joseph Bryant say that the anti-cancer compounds that they have extracted from the Jamaican Ball Moss have been demonstrated to kill prostate cancer and other cancer cells in vitro.
Last October, Dr Lowe, the founder and executive chairman of the Environmental Health Foundation Group of Companies as well as Biotech R&D Institute, was invested with Jamaica’s fourth highest award — the Order of Jamaica.
He is an adjunct professor in the Department of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, USA, and distinguished adjunct professor of Ethno-medicinal Chemistry, University of Technology, Jamaica.
Dr Lowe is also a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; and Fellow at the Royal Society of Medicine United Kingdom; Harvard Medical School Postgraduate Association; American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists; and the American Chemical Society.
