I'm not so sure. We need more testimony from people who have taken this product. I have a feeling there might be something worthwhile looking into here. After all, new drugs are being invented and discovered all the time. We also need to know if there are side-effects.

The thing with these alternative medicine cures is they invariably claim origins from remote mysterious parts of the world.

Secondly, they never consider placebo effects.

Thirdly, they always claim to be simple, safe and natural.

Finally, they frequently claim to provide relief for a broad spectrum of conditions.

OTOH, pills from "Big Pharma" are often tested ad infinitum before being approved for ONE or a VERY FEW specific conditions...

And after awhile, doctors begin prescribing them for off-label usage...because they, too, are efficacious at more than one thing.

Full Disclosure: And, the "Big Pharma" pills often have the same set of side effects: headache, dry mouth, nausea, constipation, "sexual side effects". Just maybe, this is because many agents in the body are involved in more than one system, and there are feedback mechanisms? So affecting any one item is bound to have side effects...just as setting right one item that is out of whack may positively affect many different things.

Cheers!
