SHORTLY AFTER I WAS DIAGNOISED WITH TM LAST JUNE, I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT OFFERED A HERB FOR PEOPLE WITH MYELITIS, AND OF COURSE I ORDERED A 3 MONTH’S WORTH RIGHT AWAY.  IT DID TAKE ALMOST 6 WEEKS BEFORE I RECEIVED THEM.  THERE WERE 3 BOTTLES, ONE FOR EACH MONTH.  I STARTED TAKING THEM RIGHT AWAY.  I WAS ALMOST THROUGH WITH THE SECOND BOTTLE.  I REALLY DIDN’T NOTICE ANY CHANGE OR IMPROVEMENT.  BUT, IN THE MEANTIME I WAS SEEING A DOC FOR SCOJGRENS SYNDROME WHO PUT ME ON A DRUG TO SUPPRESS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.  AFTER I WAS ON IT FOR A WHILE THEY DID EXTENSIVE BLOOD WORK WHICH INDICATED PROBLEMS WITH MY LIVER.  WENT TO A LIVER SPECIALIST AND I MENTIONED THE HERBS I WAS TAKING.  HE SUGGESTED I STOP, WHICH I DID.  LOW AND BEHOLD, AS SOON AS IT WAS OUT OF MY SYSTEM, MY LIVER RETURNED TO NORMAL.  SINCE THEY DID NOTHING, I HAVE NO INTENTION TO GO BACK ON THEM OR ANY OTHER HERB.  SO IF YOU PLAN TO TAKE HERBS BE SURE TO CHECK THEM OUT THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU BUY THEM AS THEY MAY DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD.

 

I ALSO STOPPED TAKING THE DRUG TO SUPPRESS MY IMMUNE SYSTEM, AS IT WAS CAUSING ME TO LOSE MY HAIR.  ONE GOOD THING, BECAUSE I HADN’T FINISHED TALING ALL THE HERBS,  I CONTACTED THE COMPANY I ORDERED THEM FROM, AND THEY REFUNDED ALL MY MONEY, WHICH SURPRISED ME.  I THOUGHT I WOULD BE OUT THE MONEY.

 

HOPE THIS INFO HELPS YOU.

hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone takes any herbs for their tm? i saw about the valerium root and melatonin for sleep, and i see advertisements for herbs to treat "myelitis" all the time online. so i was just wondering if anyone has ever tried any of them and what the results were. also, i loved the poems akua, i too am stuck in a wheelchair and it breaks my heart every day. It is so very hard not to be able to do the things you want to do any more. I want to walk again more than anything. A good friend of mine said that james 1:2 says "consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that testing of your faith develops perseverance." You have to run this race with your eyes on Jesus or you will fall. She is probably the best "friend" i have and she inspires me to try harder. I know that faith will pull us through!    amanda
