I also use Samento - by Nurtamedix. (Same kind Connie uses). It's way cheaper than abx. I use around 10 drops a day - one bottle lasts quite a while. I think everyone is different on how much to take. Some people can only handle 2 or 3 drops - some can handle 10 at a time. You just need to start small and work up a little. I quit using my Samento for a week and a half and can feel the difference - I'm back on again! Here's what I found on the internet: What is SAMENTO? Samento is a powerful medicinal plant that was approved as a medicine here in Ecuador in 2004. Government officials have allowed 3 drug claims to be used: IMMUNE SYSTEM MODULATOR ANTIMICROBIAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY Some other medicinal properties that have been reported: ANTIBACTERIAL ANTIFUNGAL ANTIVIRAL ANTIPARASTIC VERMIFUGE ANTICANCEROUS ANTILEUKEMIC ANTIMUTAGENIC CYTOSTATIC ANTIOXIDANT DIURETIC ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DEPURATIVE ANTIULCEROUS ANTIDEPRESSANT ANTIPARKINSONISM Some of the beneficial properties of Samento are attributed to the pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids(POAs) that are found in the plant that act on the cellular immune system and demonstrate powerful immune system modulating properties. SAMENTO does not contain the tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs) that are found in traditional Cat's Claw. TOAs disrupt central nervous system function and greatly inhibit the effects of the POAs. Some researchers believe that Samento may be as much as 1000 times more effective than Cat’s Claw. One difference between Samento and Cat’s Claw is that Cat’s Claw is an immune system stimulant and Samento is an immune system modulator. Also, Samento can be used to treat all autoimmune disorders; this is not the case with regular Cat’s Claw. In May 2005, pharmacological studies were conducted in laboratory rodents at the University of Guayaquil . The anti-inflammatory effect study showed that Nutramedix Samento extract inhibits inflammation by 83.8%. There are no known contraindications, no known side effects and no known interactions with other drugs when using Samento. In May 2005, toxicology studies were conducted on Nutramedix Samento at the University of Guayaquil, Ecuador. No toxic effects were reported even when laboratory rodents received 120,000 times the equivalent human dose. Nutramedix, the U.S. manufacturer of Samento, utilizes a proprietary extraction and enhancement process that provides many benefits, including: Efficient full spectrum extract Clinically appears to cross the blood / brain barrier within 2 min. Water / Alcohol extract that does not damage protein Easy to use for all ages Cost effective |
"MD junction is a place for us to share our experiences both good and bad it is a safe haven from the ignorant and the doubters a place to vent ask advice or just get away from it all.
