I
have severe eczema. Would Sutherlandia Gel help my condition?
Eczema is notoriously difficult to treat, and has more than one
causative factor. I can simply recommend that you have a trial of
treatment with the Sutherlandia Gel (available at AfricanBotanicals.com)
to see if it assists in this particular case. We have had excellent
reports of efficacy in eczema sufferers. Interestingly in a few
cases we have had reports that in very sensitive or allergic individuals
there was initially a slight increase in redness of the rash but
with persistence the condition cleared up. I am also in favor of
people with eczema avoiding dairy products, and milk in particular.
Milk can be substituted by rice or soya or oat milk products.
I
have cholangiocarcinoma - cancer of the common bile duct - and will
not be receiving any radio- or chemotherapy because of their limited
effectiveness in this type of cancer. I have been taking Sutherlandia
(one tablet twice a day) which I have prescribed for myself! However
I am concerned that taking Sutherlandia without consultation may
be bad for my liver.
We have not had a single report of any liver problems reported to
us from people using Sutherlandia, in spite of having sold more
than 100 000 units of product, and at least 50 medical doctors prescribing
our product to patients that they monitor. Depending on the extent
of your tumor, obstruction of the bile duct is well known to cause
some derangement in liver function, however.
Would
Sutherlandia be effective for progressively bad psoriasis?
For psoriasis I would suggest a trial of Sutherlandia, 300mg taken
twice a day after meals day, plus Sutherlandia Gel topically applied
to affected areas twice a day (mornings and evenings). After the
gel is absorbed into the skin, rub in a thin film of cold-pressed
black seed.
Would
sutherlandia be of any use in the recovery from shingles?
We do not have any data on Sutherlandia tablets and the effect on
post-shingles pain but a Gel from Sutherlandia is available that
is very effective in relieving the discomfort of acute shingles
and it facilitates healing, and similarly for herpes sores.
If shingles or herpes are recurrent, I would advise
a background of 1 Sutherlandia tablet twice a day, and the use of
the gel topically twice a day. I would also advise a health professional
investigate the reason for recurrent herpes and/or shingles, to
ensure there is no underlying cause of immunodeficiency such a diabetes,
malignancy, HIV, TB etc.
Is
there any evidence that Sutherlandia has any benefit in the treatment
of the Hepatitis-C virus? I read on the question and answer page
that one woman was concerned about how it may affect her liver.
I am presently taking an assortment of vitamins and herbs to combat
the virus. Is there any evidence that Sutherlandia reacts in any
way with other herbs?
Sutherlandia has been used in indigenous medicine to treat unspecified
liver conditions. We have no information on its efficacy
in managing Hepatitis C.
What is this novel
triterpenoid glucoside suspected of doing? What other substances
closely related to it (chemically) have documented attributes? Are
there any risks?
This research is ongoing and exciting. It may be
immuno-modulatory and anti-inflammatory, among other activities
being considered.
What
should be the dosage for individuals who are doing bodybuilding
and athletics?
One tablet or capsule of 400mg taken twice a day after meals.
What
type of eczema can Sutherlandia gel treat?
A trial of the gel, applied to to three times a day is recommended
for any eczema. Many patients report good results, but of course
not all.
Are
the production facilities ISO certified?
The production facilities of the tablets are approved to the Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements of the Medicines Control
Council of South Africa (MCC).
Can
Sutherlandia Gel treat muscle sores?
I have not had any reports on this, and have never tried it out.
I think that topical gel, and a five day course of Sutherlandia
tablets will be effective for stiff and over-trained muscles.
Are
the production facilities ISO certified?
The production facilities of the tablets are approved to the Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements of the Medicines Control
Council of South Africa (MCC).
