Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 To respond to Barbara brfifield@... shannah9 question: " You don't have alternative sources for their other antimicrobials such as Cumanda, Banderol, Enula, Quina or Takuna do you? " I searched the internet using their latin name and the name that NutraMedix gave them. I could not find any other company that sells cumunda (campsiandra angustifolia), Takunda (cecropia strigosa) and Banderol (otoba sp). I found two companies that sell quina (cinchona calisaya). Quinine by Raintree Nutrition, Inc. http://www.rain-tree.com/ http://www.rain-tree.com/quinine-powder.htm One pound of ground quinine bark powder is $24. http://cayceconcepts.com/indexmain.htm#elixir makes Elixir of Calisaya. I don't know if there are other ingredients. $40 four a four ounce bottle. Regarding Enula, I am reprinting purple ffoxglove's excellent post on Enula below. Enula contains elecampane which is a popular, inexpensive chinsese and ayurvedic herb. The other two ingredients are vitis tiliafolia and ipomoea jalapa. Pursuant to http://www.realbigbuy.com/barohedrcaof.html, vitis tiliafolia is also known as blood wiss. It is used to purge the blood and alleviate pain.Vitis tiliafolia is an ingredient in Baba Roots Herbal Drink sold at http://www.realbigbuy.com/barohedrcaof.html. Also included in the herbal drink are two species of smilax (sarsaparilla). Buhner discussed sarsaparilla in Healing Lyme. Ipomoea jalapa is also known as convoluvus jalapa and bindweed. It is not known as a anti microbial. See http://electrocomm.tripod.com/jalapa-jalap.html for its medicinal uses. I could not find any literature that described vitis tiliafolia or ipomoea jalapa as anti microbial.

My doubt is with their Babesia drops called " Enula " . The main ingredient seems to be Elecampane. They added two other obscure jungle plants that no one had heard of. Yanivnaced on lymenet researched them and couldn't find much. I bought one bottle of Enula, then decided to switch to plain Elecampane drops, much cheaper, guessing that Nutramedix had added two harmless plants so they could rename their combo and sell it at a higher price. It looked like that to me. --from purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
