Beware NutraMedix regarding Ezov!

[Guest guest]

Thanks to a response to my prior post titled betware Nutramedix, an

Ecudorian website that describes their products was referred:

bionatus.com/nutramedix.Today, I discovered that Bionatus and NutraMedix are

grossly over pricing another single herb under an obscure name.  Ezov has as its

single active ingredient hyssop. Hyssop is grown in northern America and Europe.

NutraMedix's price for dried nonorganic one ounce tincture bottle is $47.95!.

Whereas, a quick search on the internet came up with a FOUR ounce bottle of

fresh hyssop for $16 at pikeherb.com/hyssop.htm. NutraMedix grossly marked up

the price.

 

Many patients taking an obscurely named herb may not know they are grossly over

paying and may not know whether they are double dosing as they may be already

taking it by its common name, latin name or name of the main ingredient.

 

The government needs to pass a statute restricting the names of single herbs to

common, latin or main ingredient and define " common " as the english common name

cited in herb books and naturopathy books.

I appreciate the heads up that some nutramedix tinctures are actually

herbs I can get elsewhere cheaper if I choose to forgo the

potential " specialness " real or not of this company's products. I can

use that information. Thank you.

I usually read the ingredients and so far am only buying products

that look from all indications to be herbs that are not found

elsewhere: burbur, pinella... well, parsley.. and thats a good point.

I could get that cheaper elsewhere if I do not buy into or believe

the " hype " or actually true " specialness " of the nutramedix brand.

If you can tell me that burbur, pinella, let's see.. cumanda,

banderol, possibly.. what else... whose ingredients are not obviously

some other herb that I can get elsewhere, then I am all ears.

Otherwise, I am going to use what I can from where I can get it if I

know it works for me and my family.

I do not think Cowden is out to con us and have problems with that

idea. I think he is familiar with the nutramedix company and must

trust them as far as the product reliability is concerned.

its not a matter of Cowden out to " con " anyone and he may well not know much

about the com pany. I have worked with a few LLMDs who were approached by

supplement companies ( one Dr even had a Lyme vitamin formula made with their

name on it) and I can say that very often the Drs do NOT check out business

practices and do the minimums when it comes to checking safety and other things

like product reliability--they " trust " the company execs like we do...and they

also " trust " pharmaceutical companies too...does any Dr question the sales rep

holding a sample of Prevacid what the business practices are?? they listen and

believe safety and indications and dosages and rarely if ever investigate

further!!

therefore as consumers WE have to do the legwork and uncover things about the

company and ingredients and business practices..share that info and then let

people decide if theyre comfortable with doing business with them!

When there is a reaction of " the Dr wouldnt do that " " the Dr trusts it " ?it

confuses the situation and is actually moot--not matters really.

The accountability for drugs and supps is not there...and hence the need for a

few willing to take the time to make calls and emails and ask questions and then

share with all of us!!

Finette,

We exchanged emails on another list. Let me make this clear. I am

very aware of how not only doctors, but most all people in positions

of " power " (or not) tend to be less than thorough in their research

as they can be, tend to be unreliable to the 100th% (Hey, I dont

think one of thse LLMDs has the answer as do most of us), tend to on

some level or another default their inquiries into the " truth " to

some extent. Look, I homeschool my kids partly because I believe the

school system produces just that mindset... do as you are told and

dont ask questions unless they are the " right ones " ... accept

reality/truth as we disperse it to you.

I appreciate information, and I will be considering more cheaper

herbs for the parsley tincture and others that I can actually find

elsewhere from the best I can tell reputable dealer, unless someone

shares infor that might make me think twice about that.

To lead the subject line with " BEWARE NUTRAMEDIX REGARDNG EZOV " is

IMHO a bit alarmist and implies along with email content less that

honorable intentions on the part of Nutramedix... which turns me off

completely, in regards to them and the subject line. I appreciate a

heads up, not a dire warning that implies Nutramedix is not a

trustworthy company. If you have evidence otherwise, I would

appreciate that info as well. Perhaps they do use the extra money for

research into new herbs? Do you know?

If they are using obscure names for herbs that I can find elsewhere,

I will be very ticked off.. pardon the bad pun. If that is so, I want

to know what tinctures, and will be so very appreciative of that info.

For the meantime, I have learned that I may be able to substitute

some products from Nutramedix... and yes, I did " fall into " the

program so to speak.. take the complimentary products from that

company only. And, now I am questioning that. The Cowden endorsement

does lend an air of specialness to the tinctures and a sense

of " sticking to the program " which does seem to refer specificially

and only to Nutramedix herbs.

I appreciate the heads up very much, and am eager to hear more

information that will make my pocket book happier and my emotional

state of mind less dependent on ideas like " you have use these

tinctures or these products only. " I dont get that from Buhner,

although he does give leads to herbs he has found useful.

Thank you, Finette.
