Medications-hydrangea Root Curefor Autoimmun

Recommended Posts

I read today that Hydrangea Root components or the root itself has the ability to cure All Types Of AutoImmune Diseases. :)

Of Course, I bought Myself some ;maybe I'll be healed by Christmas time - even if I can't eat wheat ,at least I might feel better. :rolleyes:

I read on the Internet that Hydrangea Root is part of traditional Ancient Chinese Herbal Medicine and they've been using it for hundreds of years. :huh:

Now scientists think it'll cure all autoimmune diseases. I got a bottle$5 at Vitacost.com :D

At this point in time, the only autoimmune disorder than can be cured is celiac disease (by life-long avoidance of gluten). A quote from the first article you mentioned...

...there are currently no good treatments for autoimmune disorders because you can't get in there and turn down just the inflammatory process without also turning down the protective processes that for instance protect patients from infections.

The main treatments currently rely on antibodies that neutralize cytokines, the chemical messengers that T cells use to control immune fuction and inflammatory responses.

But antibodies are expensive, have to be injected and/or infused, and don't actually solve the root cause of the problem, they just mop up cytokines rather than stop them being produced in the first place. So patients have to keep coming back for infusions to keep the inflammation under control.

As a last resort you can give patients drugs that completely suppress the immune system but for obvious reasons this is very risky.

If hydrangea root is effective, then personally... I wouldn't go messing around with it on my own. Why take further chances with the balance of your immune system? You might make things better, but you could also make things a whole lot worse :ph34r:

Why would anyone want to mess around with their immune system....to "cure" yourself so you can have wheat products again. The risks are way too high. Any risk is way too high.

This appears to still be in the research phase. Any business selling a products using these claims, is profiting prematurely, in my humble opinion.

An old quote comes to mind..."be careful what you wish for".

I agree!!!!

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
