According to this interesting article we could merge the alternative and p-babble, because we synthesized something what nature has synthesized a long time ago. If the "human being" produced the chemistry or the "nature" produced the chemistry its of course natural, because we are one small part in the ever changing nature. We are only changing nature by nature, which is nature. We should treat carefully our origin, because we are dependent and connected.

Detection of desmethyldiazepam and diazepam in brain of different species and plants.Unseld E, Krishna DR, Fischer C, Klotz U.

Recent data suggest that desmethyldiazepam (DD), a major metabolite of several benzodiazepines (BZD), might be of natural origin. Therefore we tried to quantify DD and diazepam (D) in animals during maturation (e.g. hen, chicken, eggs), in brain of species at different evolutionary stages e.g. salmon, frog, monitor/reptile, rat, cat, dog, deer, bovine) including newborn and adult humans. Since low concentrations of DD (range 0.01-0.04 ng/g wet wt) and D (range 0.005-0.02 ng/g) could be measured in different species by sensitive and specific mass spectrometry (GC-MS), we analysed also several plants (e.g. maize corn, lentils, potatoes, soybeans, rice, mushrooms). Again, DD and D could be detected in low amounts (0.005-0.05 ng/g) in some plant products. This would suggest that DD and D might be of natural origin and incorporated via the foodchain into the animal and human body. The biological role or clinical relevance of these intriguing findings need still to be elucidated.
