If You Needed a Medical Research Topic Moringa has it All
Moringa Research - A great research topic idea; plant growth research, medical research jobs or plant nutrition research.
More information and controlled research is needed to educate everyone about this Miracle Tree. I have spent days on Moringa Research; a plant of the family Moringaceae, I'm sure I could bore anyone with the information, even the scientists, and I've only touch on the basics.
If you're serious and want to know more about Moringa I would suggest you use this new search engine that combines google, yahoo and MSN on one search
I find it easier flipping from one to the other since we all know that these search engine do come up with different results.
These are some of the articles I've found that where interesting .

In 1997 to 1998, Alternative Action for African Development and Church World Service test the power of Moringa leaf powder in pregnant or breast feeding women to prevent or cure malnutrition. The results of the test provided outstanding results in that pregnant women recovered from anemia and gave birth to babies with higher birth weights than before, breast feeding mothers had more milk, and the babies born had overall better health.

Moringa is one of the world's most useful plants. It's used as food, effective flocculant or water treatment, antibiotic, source of oil, and coagulant for turbid waters.
I'm no scientist or researcher, but I do love to learn about a plant that can help us with our nutrition. The easiest way for me to help you is to provide you with some of the links to the numerous articles online and a list of books I have come across. Read as many articles as you can and then tell yourself that the Moringa is not the Miracle Tree.
Most of the information on this website has been from a book Miracle Tree written by Monica Marcu a clinical pharmacologist, who has been "in love with trees," as she puts it , ever since she can remeber. She's worked in clinical pharmacies and in biomedical research laboratories at the University of Ottawa and the National Institutes of Health-National Cancer institute (N.C.I.).
Okay!... Now your probably saying "how do I get some of this magic?". Well...Moringa is sold in the frozen food sections of specialty grocery stores, dry leaves are sold online in a capsule form and in the last year there is pioneer company who has put all the properties of Moringa into a liquid form.
Zija International
is the company that peaked my interest on Moringa and after a couple of cans my energy levels where up. This could be from the increase of iron I was getting. For years I would donate blood to the Red Cross, sadly after having children my iron levels where too low to donate. Three weeks after taking Moringa on a daily bases, Red Cross was liking me again. Below are the sites that made me realize that there is hope for your nutrition in today's society. Check them out and see what you can relate too.
