Re: has anyone tried these ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE ?s

[Guest guest]

I haven't had a chance to research the other two, but here is what a

representative from the USDA had to say about Syrotab:

" I searched Medline/PubMed, the leading database of credible

scientific and medical research, and found no research or studies

that have been done to test/prove Syrotab nor any of the ingredients

listed in the product in are helpful in relation to Syringomyelia. 

Additionally, from reviewing background information and current

research on this disease condition, I do not see that there are such

products routinely used for treatment. 

I'm sorry but we can't provide any information about this product,

Syrotab, in terms of safety.  I reviewed their website (which it

looks like it is product from Scotland ), and did not see any

evidence of scientific research studies or other data that would show

that it was an effective or safe product.  Since it is a propriety

blend, I can not say what magnesium murakab or zinc murakab are.  I

did notice that this same company has two other tablets, for

different conditions, yet has exactly the same ingredients.

Amylotab http://www.amylotab.com/about_tab.html  

The US Food and Drug Administration, which responsible for dietary

supplements regulation oversight does not review/approve such

products before they are sold in the US . The current Federal

regulations put the responsibility for safety and effectiveness on

the manufacturer of the products. It is then up to the consumer to

determine if the product is something they would choose to use.   

I would encourage you to talk with your personal physician about this

product and carefully review the available information/research in

order to make an informed decision about whether to use this product

or not. "

******************************

I think it's important to remember that simply because something is

marketed as being 'all natural' or 'from botanical sources', it's not

necessarily safe.

Unfortunately, there just isn't a cure for SM.

Bottom line: ALWAYS check with your doctor before taking any

supplements!
