Note: Refer to the earlier post “Cumanda – Results” started on 2.4.2007 by “life” which contains some extremely important information on the results of using Dr. Cowden’s protocol. Unfortunately, the “vital” information has been lost in the off-topic posts on the thread. I respectively request that posts on this thread be limited to Cumanda/Samento/Burbur use. Off-topic discussion discourages members from following the reports and makes it insanely difficult for newbies to benefit from the critical information. Here is the original link posted by “life” to Dr. Cowden’s protocol: tinyurl.com/35hebmThank you for continuing the reports on the use of these products. I personally have experienced amazing results thanks to “life’s” first post. I’ll post my report in a few days.

I have found the Cumanda has really improved my urinary incontinence symptoms. I have found the Burbur to really handle the headachy, sick feelings I have identified as the J-Herxheimer rxn. in me. I am up to 15 drops of Cumanda 2x per day. I am not currently doing samento.

I’ve been holding off on reporting because I wanted to be sure that what I’m seeing is what I’m seeing. Or, what I’m NOT seeing.
I have been using Cumanda for 20 days, starting out at the top with 20 drops, two times a day, adding Samento the second week. In addition, I began using both topically on my face.
· After only 3 days of the Cumanda, the biofilm that covers my eyebrows, upper lip and chin began to dry and turn dark. However, when the biofilm was pulled off, it was leaving some places that were raw and red and sometimes bleeding.
· The black hair/tubes under the biofilm could be pulled out if I did this quickly. As some of you know, there is some “intelligence” to these hairs/tubes as they quickly retreat deeper under the skin when the tweezer fails to pull ‘em out the first or second yank.
· The biofilm returns within less than a minute and had to be peeled off again the next day after it turned hard and dry.
· Initially, within 5 days or so of starting the Cumanda, there appeared to be many more of the black hairs coming to the surface. This was a little worrisome. Oh, and lots more fine white fibers.
· After the first week of use, I noticed the dark brown spots all over my face and scattered over my body, especially arms, hands were fading. Some turned a lighter color and a lot of them could be pulled off, leaving pale spots all over. If these dark brown spots had a hair/tube under them, it is not easily visible.
· The darkest spots seem to be more resistant to the Cumanda/Samento. However, the longer I use this, even the darkest spots are turning to a scab and can be removed.
· It’s frustrating to remove the dark scabs and to find they have returned the next day. However, as I continue to peel them off, they seem to get smaller and smaller and leave what appears to be pink healthier skin.
· The most important piece of info I have to offer at day 20 is that there are less of the black hair/tubes growing back after being removed. This is a first! Nothing I have used thus far has had this kind of success. My upper lip is almost free of them for the first time. Eyebrows is a different story.
· This could be premature, but as of today it also appears that the new black hairs/tubes are breaking through the skin and not forming under biofilm. This make them much easier to remove.
I am more excited about this treatment than anything else I have tried. The salt/c protocol gave me back my energy but this Cumanda is visibly working from the inside out to kill or slow down the development of whatever it is on my skin. And, I noticed the improvement within only 3 days!
As we all know, sometimes a product works in the beginning and then fails. I hope this is not the case with Dr. Cowden’s protocol.
I’m going to continue the Cumanda, Samento and just started with the Burbur today. It’s expensive, however, it doesn’t taste bad if that's any consulation.
I hope others will continue to post their results on this thread or the previous one.

Hi All~~
I was gone for 4 days and came back to my thread only to find WAY too much negativity on it -- so, I've moved all my pertinent posts about Cumanda to CA GA Peach's site.
I apologize to any one and every one who had to read through the spew and negativity that started to develop on my Cumanda thread. Personally, I didn't know what to do about it, except to move to this thread.
My heart is in the healing, sharing -- and being civil, caring, and loving to one another -- not having a site where a poster is going to spew, attack, and rant at others for absolutely no reason (from what I could see.)
I'm glad to see ADMIN tried stepping in as when I was severly attacked by Neils -- they did not at that time -- I had to stop posting on that thread, which is what Neils wanted anyway. I believe he had an agenda -- and it was not one of finding out what is causing our malady.I am taking Cumanda, and since it is being effective for me, I thought it was time to start a thread on it. I have had positive results within the first few hours, and continue to have results. Knock on tree-bark! Here is Dr. Cowden's protocol (its for LD) to read. Its very simple and easy to follow (so I can stay the course HA-HA). www.bionatus.com/nutramedix/moreinfo_eng/Lymeprotocolkinesiology3.htmCumanda, according to studies done, seems to be safe even at very high doses given to Ruts -- I mean rats. Quote from study: There are no known contraindications, no known side effects and no known interactions with other drugs when using Campsiandra angustifolia products like Cumanda. In May 2005, toxicology studies were conducted on Nutramedix Cumanda at the University of Guayaquil in Ecuador. No toxic effects were reported even when laboratory rodents received 240,000 times the equivalent human dose.Entire study (its short): www.bionatus.com/nutramedix/pdfs/cumanda_flyer_Bs.pdfbe well, life

Dr. Cowden recommends starting Cumanda @ 1 drop 2 X's per day, increasing to 20 drops 2 X's a day.
I started with 10 drops 2 X's a day, and went to the 20 drops 2 X's per day by the third day. I did not Herx, but that does not mean others won't.
He recommends taking Burbur for diminishing Herx symptoms, if you do.
Within 3 hours of my first Cumanda dose, my carbunkly-types started to soften to where I could pull parts of them off.
The 3rd morning, I woke up with a bit of stiffness in my right hand, and it looked a bit swollen (marginally), which lasted for about 3 days. I do have quite a large group of Morgs on my right hand, which makes it difficult for me to use it at times, and since it wasn't too bad, I decided to continue my dosage.
At that point, I upped the dosage gradually to 80 drops total per day -- no side effects and still no Herxing. But, I did not notice it being any more effective than at the recommended 40 drops per day, so I went back down -- and have stayed at -- 40 drops per

At first, I was taking both Quina and Cumanda -- I added the Quina because I have Babesiosis as well as LD. I decided to stop the Quina for now, after taking it with Cumanda for 10 days, as I believe this is hightly fungal in nature -- and I have fungal looking nails in both my feet and hands. Cumanda is effecatious in killing Candida and other fungus, and the Dr. mentions in his protocol, that if you have fungal infection, to stay on the Cumanda for 2 months before beginning to 'switch out' with Samento and Quina. Quote: An Antifungal: One of the most impressive benefits of Cumanda is its antifungal action. Physicians report that it is effective in treating many difficult to treat fungi including Mycosis fungoides, Candida krusei, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger, to name a few.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi~~
Well, I thought I'd spend some more time tonight 'reporting' on what's already happened.
By the 5th day of taking Cumanda, my eyes ached; the aching was not in the front of my eyes, but all around on the inside of my sockets. Now, I SO have a new 'nasty' one on my nose -- got it just before Thanksgiving when one of those black 'things' got on my nose in my classroom. the kind that turns into a crusty spreading thing that carbuncles up. It got to 1/2 long and 1/4 inch wide, heading for my right eye, and burrowing down into my nose canal.
So, I was concerned about my eye. The aching in my eye sockets lasted for about 3 days and then slowly diminished, taking about 5-6 days from original ache to being gone. Whew! on THAT one!
Like ReliefSeeker, I want to go 'faster' on this, but realize that I need to be kind to my body -- not go too fast, so my body has a chance to remove the toxins as I go.
Also, I've had this for about 3 1/2 years, so I'm at the stage where they are mostly carbuncle types. I used to have several hundred lesions, got it down to about 35-40 (depending on my reinfection rate from work), and the Cumanda is drying things up.
So, that makes me think I should do as Dr. Cowden recommends, if you have fungus, and stay with just the Cumanda for about 2 months, then switch out with either Samanto or Quina.
The reason I thought to switch out with Quina is, for me anyway, that I have Babs and he says to address that first.
But, I wonder... IF there are no side effects, why can't I take all three at the same time?
There I go being in a hurry again.

One thing I noticed, by the 3rd day, was that I was 'shedding' a lot of dibree. I usually shed (don't we all) SOME, but not like this. I can get by now with washing my sheets once a week, as well as my floors.
I had to start washing my floors every couple of days -- and the paper towels I use were covered in black specks and hairs -- in the kitchen. My bathroom floor was covered - literally - in white fibers that looked like cotton lint.
That slowed down quite a bit after a week -- 9-10 days of taking the Cumanda.
Another thing, my pee has a slight greenish color to it. Not super green, just very slight. I don't know if that is 'infection' leaving my kidneys or bladder, or if it is just the Cumanda giving my pee a slight greenish tinge to it. Like people who take Rifampin saying that things come out of them orange in color.
Also, while I have had little white specks and short black hairs come out in my urine for a while now, after taking the Cumanda for at least a week, they are a bit bigger. Could it be fungus, like Candida localized in my kidneys or bladder? Don't know. I had de-Candidaized myself years ago, and often wondered if it can set up shop and live, isolated, in different parts of the body even after it is greatly diminished in the gut.

Effects of Cumanda on meta-cognition and mood.
I need to add here that I have been doing QuestionHair's smoothie she has posted on the supplements page for over a month now. I have been having good results with it. I modified my smoothie from her original recipe just a bit, I added Cinnamon, ionic Copper, olive oil, and a raw free range egg to it.
TCM says that while you are 'moving' an infection (or whatever) out of your body, you should build your immune system. Makes sense to me.
Anyway, by the end of the first week on Cumanda, I could spell again, remember all my students' names, finish and complete a thought, no longer forget what the heck I went into the other room to get or to do, and type much faster and with more precision --- much less comes up in spell check.
And, by the 10th day on Cumanda -- out of the blue one day -- I was happy. I mean, happy like I used to be. (I was always happy.) It lasted only a couple of hours, but it was there.
And it gave me great hope. I forgot what it felt like to just be happy for no particular reason. Glorious.
While QH's smoothie had taken away my 'peeing my pants' on the way to the bathroom every day when I got home -- the Cumanda took that to another level. Now, when I get home, I've noticed that I don't have urgency at ALL. Gone. Gone. Gone.
Also, by the end of the 2nd week, I noticed my hair was softer again, no tangles from these things clinging to strands of hair, and I have little new baby hairs growing in around my face. And not so dry. I used to put Ojon oil -- 4 pumps worth -- in my hair after washing it just to put some oil back into it. I'm down to 2 pumps this week -- after 14 days on the Cumanda.
Is it the Cumanda? Or QH's smoothie? Or the ionic copper I added to the smoothie? Sorry -- I don't know because I'm doing them in conjunction with one another. Could be a combination of all three.
So, all in all, I can think clearer, I can spell again, and my mind-hand coordination is much better....which is when I started signing my posts here,

Today is my 18th day. Still just taking the Cumanda.
I have been broke (moving and car), so I had deleted buying sea salts for my baths, just taking them every couple of weeks since Thanksgiving. Well, finances back to normal, I decided to get back into the baths -- they have been the one thing that has been my saving Grace in the past
So, I took a bath 2 days ago, and this might sound 'odd', but after about 1/2 hour in the tub (I put in a few pounds of sea salt when I take a bath), I smelled a 'weird' smell. Okay, don't laugh too hard, but it smelled like 'toe jam'. It wasn't pungent, but it was there.
Yuck! And shortly after that, the bath water started to get 'cloudy' -- within 15 minutes, it was milky-white, so I got out not wanting whatever it was to have a chance to e-enter.
Since Cumanda is so effective for many forms of fungus, could it be that that is what exuded from my skin? I mean, so many of you have reported that there appears to be a fungal 'aspect' to Morgs. After all, many of you have reported that after taking certain 'zole'-drugs, you get better, and any drug that is a 'zole' is anti-fungal in nature.
I'm going to take another bath tonight and see what occurs, if anything. If nothing else, it will help my body detox and rid whatever may be surfacing on the skin.
Also, I had a 'cluster' of something on the small of my back. Couldn't see it, but there were about 6-7 from what I could feel, and they were raised tracks,all about 1 - 1 1/2 inch long. They are now all but gone. I can't find-feel anything there anymore. So, that's good.
I got a new hole on my neck, by my jaw, at the beginning of last week, and by the end of the week, it was gone. So, I'm hoping as I get re-infected at work, the Cumanda will help my body to not let it 'set in'. But, it could just be a coincidence. Time will tell.
Come to think of it, last week I cleaned out a pretty good sized storage room I have in my classroom, moving out boxes, old folders, papers, and the like. Whenever I do anything like that, I always get the paper-cut kinds on my hands and forearms. I did get a couple of 2 inch long paper cut tracks on the inside of my wrist, but by the next day they were completely gone. When I've gotten them in the past, I've put Iodine on them and they raise up, showing black specks with their tracks where they've burrowed along just under the skin. So, that is another possible good sign that the Cumanda doesn't let them set up 'camp' when they get on me.
I sure do hope so, but it still could be coincidence at this point. I'll keep watching -- I have plenty of opportunity since it is at work that I get re-infected weekly.
hugs to you all, life is good

Well, its been 21 days on the Cumanda.
All this week, I was having 'movement' in my gums, which is gone for now.
Also, I have always had a 'thickness' in my throat, at the top, where I swallow. The left side seems to have cleared up, but its still on the right side yet.
I haven't had any 'floaters' in my eyes since after the first couple of days.
It's Friday, and I only got one new lump on the crown of my head, which I will get rid of this weekend -- usually, I get several new ones on my head every weak from work.
I've noticed that the last couple of nights, I have not had any 'movement' sensation inside my ears.
A couple more have 'dried up' -- one on my shin and one on my collar bone.
Also, a very old one -- over two years -- on my neck, just below my right ear, has turned into two 'pimples' and they seem to be disappearing.
Like ReliefSeeker, I started to have 'crawlies' all last week -- in the evenings. Not bad enough to keep me from going to sleep -- but I hadn't had them in a while. That seems to not be as prevalent tonight either.
I'm not as 'irritable' -- teaching middle school can get to ya'! All this week, I noticed that things don't seem to bother much anymore, and I can relax and focus on completing tasks better.
That's nice. I feel on 'top of things', instead feeling overloaded and overwhelmed either.
My hair is still sft and combs through without anything in it.
My manual dexterity seems to be back to normal, so much so that I am going to start practicing my cello again! (I did warn my new next-door neighbors, though )
I'm not sure if you all are interested my continued posts -- but, I will continue for a while, assuming.....
life is good -- and getting better

So I've been on Cumanda for 25 days now. Still @ 20 drops 2 X's a day.
I had crawlies in the 3rd week -- they are gone now. At least, for now anyways.
Sometimes, now the big ones will 'hurt' like they are fighting against what I am doing. Also, last week, the big ones seemed to get 'deeper' somehow, but at the same time they are continuing to bring things to the surface.
I had a few patches on my fingers surface where nothing had been there before. They looked like when you get a very mild blister and then top layer of skin peels off. No inflammation. Pulled and gently scraped the skin off and they were gone.
I have a large portion of my hand -- the one that has 5 big and deep lesion/carbuncles on it -- that has that lizardy skin on it -- a patch of about 2 1/2 inches by 1 inch in size. That has gone down to about 1 1/4 inches by 3/4 inch.
Toward the end of last week -- for a couple of nights, I found a lot of debree on my sheets in the morning. It was different than the black specs or short bristle-hairs. It was off white -- not the little white round seed kind -- irregularly shaped and about 1/16" in diameter. Probably 30-40 of them each of the two nights. They had red in/on them: blood? red fibers? I don't use a microscope (sorry about that.) Never had that before.
The last three days, its been effecting my fingernails. My left thumbnail got really dry and thin at the end and flaked off (just the white part of the nail.) Yesterday, I had thicker-than-hangnails come to the surface on several nails, which I pulled off and they didn't bleed. Last, night, all my nails were extremely dry all around the nail beds/cuticles like they were covered in chalk-dust (I don't use chalk at all.)
Today my one thumb has hard white hangnail type things coming out -- not where hangnails are, but from under the cuticle itself onto the nail. Also, a back speck came out with it. Both thumbnails and all my fingernails look 'inflamed' on all three sides of the nails. This morning, I saw a black bristle one surfacing by my thumbnail. It must of come out because its gone now
By the beginning of last week, you know the 'normal' hairs that will creep toward your mouth all the time? -- they have stopped doing that.
Every few days my nose will get dry and I have to (gross) dig out the dried up stuff. For one day, I had green stuff in my nose, and the first week, I did deal with a bit of blood coming out when I cleaned my nose -- but just the first week.
Every few days, the large ones on my legs will have dry layers of skin around the edge that I can just pull or gently scrape off.
So, all in all, its still working. Not as fast as in the first week. Its still making things surface though.
I had some Valentine cookies today -- set me back -- I went into Blockbusters to get a video for my classroom tomorrow and had to wander around for about a minute to remember what the name of it was -- haven't had that issue since about 10 days of doing the Cumanda.
I feel kind of silly "reporting" like this -- but, you all have been so encouraging. I have to tell myself its okay (but, I feel very self-centered on this thread and I hope I don't come off that way at all to you.)
hugs, life is good

So, its Valentine's Day -- and I've pigged out big time on sugar. For three days now, I've eaten everything.
What happened? Just a couple of mild brain-farts is all, like not being able to spell, not remembering names of my students, what I was talking about (if interrupted), forgetting what I was forgetting to go do. But, that's it. And, come to think of it, with all that nasty sugar -- I did not get any joint pain or myalgias like I normally would have in the past. No changes in BM's either
No floaters came back, and my skin is still purging where there are sores -- mine are mostly carbuncles. And... I can still type fast.
So, back to no more sugar for me!
Its too bad doctors won't take samples, isn't it? I mean, it would be nice to know what the Cumanda is helping my body fight against.
I had one last one on my forehead -- had it for a couple of years -- that seems to be almost gone.I can still feel a thin 'hardness' under the skin and little villus white hairs are sticking out of it, but they seem to pull out without the usual resistance.
I got a new 'pimple' by my temple very near to the one that came and went recently. It seems to not have taken hold and to be going away.
More 'grains' coming out of my eyes, in the corners, and along the eyelashes. My eyelashes are still pretty thin, but I they don't pull out at all -- used to be that 3-4 would pull out. Actually, it was more like they fell out.
Haven't had movement inside my ears this week at all.
My nose still gets dry stuff in it every couple of days, that I remove as gently as possible. Seems I can breath better through my nose too lately.
Last time I posted, my fingernails were inflamed and stuff was drying up around my cuticles. Also, white, thick, bigger than hangnails were coming out. My right thumbnail's cuticle is still purging dry hangnail types, but from underneath the cuticle where the nail grows.
My right thumb nail has vertical ridges in it that appeared yesterday -- don't know what that is.
My baby toe nails have stayed uncurled and they are no longer brownish. One of them was really thick and that seems to be almost gone. My corns don't seem to be growing back (my acupuncturist told me once that corns are fungus), so that makes sense. Also, the heals of my feet, balls of my feet and between, on top of, the front of, and the bottom of all my toes are ex-foliating white skin? fungus? on their own. Just rub a little area and it sheds off.
I still have a long way to go -- but, at least I'm going... I guess.
I can't remember the last time I had night-sweats, and I'm not overly cold anymore.
The burning sensation under my skin seems less. It used to feel like someone has poured liquid acid under my skin -- always came at night for some reason ever since I tried a drug called Alina 6 months ago.
Some of the dark 'tracks' under my skin are lightening -- not all of them, just some, -- and where they are lightening is random..
So, this week positives are no ithchys, no crawlies, no sensations of biting, no movement feelings, and my nose is easier to breath through. Still in a good mood, and sleeping through the night and waking up feeling refreshed. Nice.
This Friday will be four full weeks -- so, the question of the month is.... do I continue to stay on the Cumanda? or switch out to the Quina or Samento -- or add one of them to the Cumanda?
life is good
Haven't figured that out yet.

Well, its Friday night and I've decided that I am going to stay on the Cumanda for one more month, since that is what Dr. Cowden recommends if you have fungus.
I am going to take a 36 hour break, though. So tomorrow morning will be my last dose of the month and I'll start up again Monday morning.
Tonight, I took a one hour sea salt bath.
The bath water started to get cloudy at 45 minutes time and then proceeded, just like the last bath, to really cloud up by the end of the hour.
I never wash off the salt water as I have fond in the past that it continues to work through the evening if I just dry off without rinsing.
I decided to use the New Hope oil bar. Put it on all over my body. GEEze!! I had lots of stuff coming out. I kept rubbing it off with my hands - from everywhere on my body. I stopped after 1 1/2 hours - I couldn't keep up with it - I literally built up a sweat trying to keep up!
Things that came out were mostly white; thin 'strings', lots of rice sized ones, also ones that were more round that rice shaped, and lots and lots of 'lint' types. I had some black specks come out as well. Only one 4" hair with lots of black specks all along it. And several of those hard crystal types came out too.
The back of my thighs had bumps on them (weren't there before the bath) and as stuff came off the back of my thighs, they subsided.
I ended the bath @ 9 pm. Its 11:30, and I can feel itchy-ness along my collar bone and the bottoms of my feet, but not on the surface. Its itching under the skin. Even now, if I rub, on my collar bone, stuff comes out/off. Its not unbearable, so I'm sure I can go to sleep by ignoring it.
I'll do another bath tomorrow night and let you know what happens. Maybe there was so much coming out because I hadn't done a sea salt bath in well over a week. (LAUSD might strike, so I'm trying to save my pennies!)

I stopped the Cumanda on Saturday morning. Its Sunday afternoon. This morning when I woke up, everything had stopped its activity, so I think what I was thinking may be correct in that what I have was trying to 'fight' against the Cumanda.
The first and second week, I had a lot of stuff, both black specks and white 'lint' all over the floors and counter tops.
The third week, there was less.
The forth week, there was very little.
I don't know if this is because of it being cyclical -- or the Cumanda was pushing so much stuff out of me.
Every few days or so now, I have a new 'pimple' show up randomly somewhere on my body that never really turns into anything and then dries up and goes away in about 3-4 days.
The fungus on my toenails is continuing to go away. My baby toenails actually look pretty normal now. There is still fungus underneath the white part, but not as much.
I noticed 'floaters' are back in my eyes this morning -- but not too bad, just a couple and I really have to stop and watch for them.
The inflammation all around my cuticles is gone, except my right thumb -- there is a patch of them coming out that look like hangnails
No itchies, no crawlies anywhere.
I'm sure there is no one thing to take that will rid this stuff from our bodies -- you all already know that -- but, its nice to know that if a person has any fungal issues: Cumanda seems to be a great way to go. Even for Candida.
I still haven't herxed. I had a couple of days of healing crisis at the end of the second week, where I actually got a sore throat, which I see as a sign that bacteria were trying to find a new place to live since they lost their 'hosts'.
Tomorrow, I start up again, and I'm curious to see how things go.

Monday and back on the Cumanda this morning. Over the week end, one on my forearm dried up, a new 'pimple' I got last week on my calve dried up and flaked off as well as one by my temple in the hairline. Everything calmed down over the weekend -- so, it does appear to be that what I have 'fights' against the Cumanda. Me thinks they really don't like it. I was invited to a neighbor's house last night -- I work with him -- and I had not been to their house since Thanksgiving. His wife and I were chatting and she told me that I look SO much better. I asked if she thought it was a little or a lot, and she just closed her eyes and nodded her head, saying SO much better. That made me feel good about this stuff. That is the third person in two weeks who has said that to me. The first thing that happened today is sneezing extensively -- happened the first couple of days before as well. Someone asked me to email them some information, so I thought I would post it with the links for anyone that is interested. A simple outline of the protocol: www.bionatus.com/nutramedix/moreinfo_eng/Lymeprotocolkinesiology3.htmCumanda Q & A link -- scroll down and click on 'questions and answers" -- good information: www.thegreenpharmacy.com/shop/?product=259A page for easy ordering; Cumanda, Quina, Samento, Noni, Burbur all on one page if you're interested: http://www.thegreenpharmacy.co...lid=CNnroKDn4okCFQlMYAod1FqlGg Magnesium Malate: www.thegreenpharmacy.com/shop/?product=281Here is the page for bromelaine -- DON'T TAKE IT while you are taking drugs: www.thegreenpharmacy.com/shop/?product=281Don't take the Bromelain while you are taking any drugs. Ask your doctor first. The reason is that it is extremely effective in causing drugs to cross the BBB. Very effective. Also, it increases efficacy of drugs. I know you'll be cautious with this one. This is the only one I highly recommend you NOT take right now if you are taking any drug that should not be crossing the BBB. Life is good (not great yet) but it is good.

Hi GaCaPeach~~
And I thought I was the only one who likes to use lots of paragraphing. I'm too wordy, but mostly, its so the brain has 'space' around the words -- easier to follow somehow.
Any way.... I find what you said interesting. I was thinking that the Cumanda makes them surface. I don't think they like the environment. I've been having new ones surface -- but then disappear in a couple of days. They just seem to surface and dry up. I've not been putting it on topically at all.
I took the 36 hour break last weekend. It's Tuesday evening. Monday, I did not notice much, but today they are back to coming to the surface.
Its a different sensation than the 'crawlies' we normally feel, but its similar to it. I have sensation tonight all over my skin. I think they are trying to get out.
Today, at work, I had some serious difficulty with names again. I think it may just be healing crisis -- symptoms reappearing.
The lesions are already softening up a bit around the edges. Some I can pull off pieces, but mine are so amazingly deep, that there is always more underneath.
One topical thing I have been trying -- just on one big one on my nose/cheek and one on my hand is mixing baking soda with lemon juice and applying it. Seems to be helping them dry up.
Also, tonight I'm back to having the burning sensation under my skin -- mostly just in my chest area. There was a time about six months ago, when the burning sensation first began, that I had it all over the front of my body from my jaw area to my ankles. Very painful. So I think this may be a healing crisis as well.
Please do let me know what happens. I am beginning to believe that to get better -- these things need to come out of us, which is what I think the Cumanda is doing. Or else, its mostly killing off the fungus that these critters feed on?
You've done a lot of things for yourself, and it sure sounds like you know what you're doing, not to mention having a pretty good handle on what works for you.
Please keep us updated. I've still got about 40+ carbuncle/lesions on my body (depending on how I want to count 'em ). My hope is that they will continue to both emerge as well as dry up.
life is good -- even with every inch of my body feeling 'sensations'

Well, its Thursday, and day 4 after my 36 hour break of Cumanda.
The floaters are completely gone again.
Stuff is pushing up -- mostly black, short wires and a few specks where I have carbuncle/lesion. A couple of them seem to be drying up some more. Thin layers of dry skin is the only way I can think of calling it, in a circular pattern.
Still having trouble with being able to remember nouns after my Valentine's Day sugar binge -- not a good thing for a Morgie to do.
It also is 'opening' some of them up -- not all of them and its sort of random.
Back to having 'sand' particles come out of my eyes. This evening, I could feel a bit of movement inside my ears and they sort of 'ache' on the insides. Not like a headache -- I think they are unhappy about the Cumanda and are moving about because of it.
The last couple of days at work, when I've gone outside, I've really started to notice a sensation, especially on my legs. Like a picking sensation, very minute and everywhere even though I wear jeans. I wonder if I've not had it this 'strong' before because my skin might be getting some of its natural feeling back to it? Or, is my school environment just getting worse?
Some dark areas on my skin have lightened, but its random too.
My lymph nodes by the top of my jawline in front of my ears have gotten bigger and they are hard.
NO itchiness tonight like I've had the past couple of days.
I'm still getting a couple of new 'pimples' again, but they seem to continue to go away after 3-4 days.
I've added the Burbur this week and will continue to take it with the Cumanda. My liver palm has subsided greatly. Now, what I am concerned about is that my nails are almost completely white in color, with just a thin line of pink at the ends. I Googled the symptom and it came up with renal issues.
The thing is... is it a sign that my kidneys are not doing well? Or is it just that these things like to live in my hands. My cuticles are having a lot of the hang nail types come out.
I'm still happy and feel less confused and overwhelmed at work, so life is still good (but someone needs to tell my kidneys )

Friday and end of the 5th week.
Its still drying things up slowly.
Things are still being pushed up through the lesions, black specks and short hard white hangnail looking things.
A new one on my neck started on Tuesday and is almost gone. A couple of old ones have opened up and I've been able to peel sections of them off.
Everything is getting better slowly, and I am definitely not getting worse in any areas -- except for my nail beds still being mostly white colored.
My forehead is completely clear with almost no visible scarring at all. No new ones along my temples this week.
Liver palm is greatly diminished, just barely pink in a few areas, which I attribute to the Burbur. There are a few 'dents' on my fingers along the cuticles where I think some things left the area or died and dried up.
I have all the feeling back in my fingers. No more numbness at all.
Fingers and hands are not swollen at all and my hands almost feel 'dry'. Hard to explain. There is normal surface oils, but they feel drier and lighter some how.
Baby toenails look normal -- yeah. Corns are not growing back. I still have calluses on my heals and balls of my feet, but they are rubbing off with my hands layer by layer.
My nose is really clear, so much so I can breath through it again.
Still can't pull out any eyelashes and (I may be dreaming on this one) they seem to be growing back. Haven't had any thick, white eyebrow hairs for the past couple of weeks.
Just washed my kitchen floor for the first time in a week, maybe 50 black specks on the paper towels -- and some was probably coffee grinds. Just checked, and no black specks or fibers on my kitchen counter which I last washed down about 4-5 days ago.
So, unless its just a 'phase', I seem to be 'shedding' a lot less this past week than I was in the forth week. Worst shedding took place in the first and second week -- tons everywhere in those weeks.
Hugs to you all, life
