Natural Remedies that DO work?
Question:

[snip] Mmmmmm… Seaweed. There are definitely "more than 300" studies of fucoidans (a type of polysaccharide) in the medical literature, but not a single study of Limu Moui itself (and no studies of fucoidans in the treatment of psoriasis – or eczema, or seborrheic dermatitis, or vitiligo, the first skin-disease names that came to mind). And considering the web site seems to be pushing it as a Multi-Level Marketing product ("share with your friends!"), I have grave doubts that there will ever be studies done on Limu Moui. Except they call it "Referral Marketing," but it doesn’t seem any different. And I suppose the idea that their system will "ensure perpetuity" only goes for as long as there exist people who don’t sell this product (the population of Tonga, for example, have no need to either buy it or sell it). I see it’s also touted as yet another "perfect food." Besides which, Tonga was ranked 75th in terms of longevity by the WHO in 2000, http://www.thehealingkitchen.com/NavigationLeft/longevity.shtml so I’d much rather find out what kind of seaweed the Japanese (#1), Swiss (#8), or the British (#14) are eating. The USA, by the way, was 24th. – Dave W. http://members.aol.com/psorsite/

Here’s a suggestion. Every Monday evening at 8:30 p.m. central standard time, there is a live discussion about a product which appears to be helping 8:30 (CST) you can listen in to the call. Because it’s a "listen" only type of call there is no need to worry about sales hype/pressure. You could also listen to previous calls by going to http://www.royaltonganlimu.com/english/content.asp?page_id=13 and then click on one of the dates. The one on 06-17-02 was a good one. The first part is about company and product info. Who they are, what this stuff is, why it works, etc. etc. The guest speakers are in the 2nd half of the call & you can fast forward to them if you want to skip the first part. IMO the second part of the discussion is the best. In any case, I wish you well. God Bless real big… Happiness Helps Heal! : )

Well, I’d be careful about natural remedies… It’s probably easier to find out from people what doesn’t work. I think it may also be a case of different remedies having different effectiveness depending on what particular flavour of P you have. I tried some Chinese Herbal medicine not too long ago, and I must say it was the foulest crap I’ve ever tasted. (And the biggest waste of money) I’d lost a lot of faith in traditional doctors, and thought there must be something to the ancient way of doing things. (Perhaps there is, but I’m not keen on trying it again). I’ve since been back to my doctor, and he prescribed Eumovate for my face (seb-derm) and Dovonex for the P-patches on my body. Three weeks later I’m not clear, but I am hugely improved. So much so that my overall emotional quality of life is so much better. I don’t feel like a complete outcast. So while there may be something to ‘Natural’ remedies. I wouldn’t totally discount your doctor. I don’t get on with mine that well (I’ve only been to a doctor twice in the last three years, so it’s more impersonal than any sort of dislike) but I’ve been pretty happy with the results.
