Traditional Aboriginal bush medicine for treatment of cancer, heart disease, intestinal trouble, urinary & kidney problems & general illnesses.
Ancedotal evidence supports it may be a powerful aid in the treatment of cancer giving the immune system a boost and may have antiviral properties. From 1950's to 2005 it was supplied by the Health Dept as a tea for cancer suffers who requested it. Phased out due to not having had a proper medical trail. Licences to pick it were issued up until 2007.
This petition hopes to bring about the re-instatement of these licences to be able to give people (often with terminal disease) who wish to use it a choice of treatment.
I, James Staniforth-Smith of P.O. 9 Dongara of Western Australia, am the promoter of this petition.
We the undersigned are in support of Commercial Producer's & Commercial Purposes Licences being granted for picking Scaevola Spinescens (Maroon Bush) due to strong demand & a long history of use in Western Australia. The Health Dept has supported the picking of Maroon Bush for many years.
This will give patients who choose to use it as an alternative treatment for their health, a choice. A personal licence is not an option for those either too unwell or unable to find & identify it.
Your petitioners therefore respectively request the Legislative Council to support the granting of Commercial Producer's & Commercial Purposes Licences for picking Scaevola Spinescens (Maroon Bush).
