Sunday - 02-25.
Things are still drying up externally, but much more slowly than in the beginning weeks. It seems to work in 'areas' on my body. Like this week, I have had several really small ones come out on my head. They are small and dry and I can easily pick them off.
The bigger carbuncle ones continue to be less. Sometimes, they have a dry layer I can pull off easily with no pain nor resistance on their part, sometimes small, hard, white 'hangnail' types or hardened black specks push up along the edges. I can pull them off -- but it hurts when I do, so they are still trying to hang on.
The little sand particles were coming out of my eyes again this week, and I do believe my eyelashes are being effected in a positive way.
I feel as though it is drying things up internally more so now. Like on my hand, which was really, really bad -- its drying up under the surface of the skin, turning white and brown and grey and hard.
I did have some movement in my inner ears -- mostly the right one -- at night again this week. Last night, I had a mild ringing in both ears before I went to bed, which stopped after about an hour or so. NO movement in my ears last night.
I had added the Burbur this week and still doing QH's smoothie.
I feel an overall 'lighter' feeling in my body today that started yesterday which is why I think the Cumanda is working on them internally more so now.
I'm still exited about what's happening to me. life is good and getting better

WELL!!! Back on topic....
Sorry I've been 'off' so long. I was at the Long Beach Health Expo for three days, and report cards were due today. They both sort of consumed my time.
Anyway. I took the 36 hour break from the Cumanda and have started by 7th week. I am going to go through the full two months on Cumanda, recommended by Dr. Cowden for those who have fungal infection, and then either start the Samento or the Quina; I haven't decided as of yet.
The first several weeks, Cumanda made my urine turn a slight tinge of green. I had wondered if that was the Cumanda, or infection coming out. The green tinge has completely gone away for the past two weeks, so it was obviously an infection in my bladder or kidneys.
I noticed BeLikeWater having things come out in her urine and having some strengthening in that area as well, so it must work somehow on our internal organs, which is good.
I added the Burbur for the last two weeks, as well as the Magnesium Malate. I did not notice any healing crisis going on but my fingernails are nearly completely white now and I Googled that symptom, which came up with Kidney problems, hence the Burbur.
The last two weeks, the Cumanda seemed to working on my fingers mostly. Lots of long hangnail types coming out around my cuticles all the way up to the first joint. They surface, inflame, and then start to dry up after a few days. But, more and more keeps coming to the surface.
This past week, I've had some lumps show up on my breasts, and one behind my ear. One surfaced again at the edge of my eye, but seems to be going away today, the third day after it appeared.
It seems that when the pimples appear, there is a pattern of them going away in about three days for me. I don't know if the are Morgs, or toxins coming out as they never develop into anything I'm used to them doing.
I think the Cumanda may be pushing these things up and to the surface. My chin area has about four new bumps, like ingrown hairs -- but, we know better!
Every time I take the 36 hour break, I notice that after abut two days back on the Cumanda, the mucus in my nose starts to dry up and, the first several weeks, what came out was green, this week it is orange, so the infection is healing slowly. My nose doesn't really bother me at all, so its interesting to me that that is even ocurring.
No ringing in my ears at all this past week, and my hands have continued to stay un-puffy. Actually, I didn't realize how puffy my hands and fingers were until it started to go away -- guess I had gotten used to it.
I do notice that it is helpful to put things on topically to help them come out. I use the New Hope products when I shower, and the Ojon Hair Care treatment for my head, as well as an occasional sea salt or 1:1 ratio of Epsom salts and apple cider vinegar. I've also been experimenting with baking soda and lemon, putting on some -- especially the gnarly one by my nose as its causing my much grief and pain -- a bit of facial paralysis and that have of my head has a constant 'headache'. But, at least it is no longer moving toward my eye!
My meta cognition has gone sour these past two weeks, but I tried something new and I think it was a healing crisis. Too strong, so I stopped it for awhile. It was almost like I had Als, kind of scary.
My feet are continuing to improve. The fungus under my toenails is weakening its grip, so much so that both my big toes' ingrown toenails are no longer ingrown anymore, and the corns are getting smaller and smaller (corns are fungus).
But, of course, I'm still getting new ones at work every week, so that is a definite bummer.
I want to encourage everyone trying the Cumanda, though, as I am having positive results, and I really think it is a good one to have in my 'arsenal' of treatments.
Much love and many cyber-hugs to you all, life

I know its only been a day, but I wanted to post that I put the 1:1 ratio of baking soda to fresh squeezed lemon on the gnarly one on my nose/cheek again last night, seems to help a bit topically to keep it from spreading.
This morning, my nose discharge was green again on one side and the other side was a bit bloody with black stuff and white mucus mixed in.
Also, the past few days when I've come home from work, my urine is a dark, orange rusty color -- no oder. After taking Burbur and Milk Thistle, it clears to a lite yellow.
I was able to pull parts of the thick carbuncly types off again tonight -- they seem to be willing to 'release' their grip on me. Mostly on my upper arms. That hasn't happened for what seems to be a couple of weeks.
Could it be cyclical somehow? Could it be that the Cumanda is most effective when they are in a certain stage? Also, I was wondering if the Cumanda might actually 'force' them into this stage. Just some thoughts.
I think I may be seeing a pattern of Cumanda working for a while in different body 'areas': sometimes my fingers and hands, other weeks its my legs, always my feet, sometimes my throat. It seems to move around to different parts of my body concerning its efficacy. Does anyone else notice this?
All and all, life is still good

I do feel there is a 'ripening' of the critter in different body areas at different times. I like your observation of the cumanda maybe attacking it during s specific stage. I think the conversion of the infected areas to pimples is a really good sign that the immune system is kicking in and moving in to clean up the follicles. I am seeing this too. Also redness of my facial scars is decreasing.
I tell you it is so wonderful not to pee every time I cough or sneeze and I can get out of bed without rushing to the pot. Also, I think I am able to sleep alot longer without getting up in the middle of the night to pee.

OK, I have almost 3 weeks of cumanda behind me. I just ordered 6 more bottles as this is the most positive treatment I've seen for the biofilm and dark spots all over my body.
I'm being especially cautious in my reports because we all know there's been a lot of hullabaloo made about a lot of products that don't work for everyone. And, this herb is not cheap.
I'm continuing to see a reduction of the biofilm on my face, especially my upper lip. Each time I peel off an area that's dried up, it may return the next day but it's smaller than the day before. I just keep removing it till it doesn't return in the same place.
My eyebrows which are covered in layers and layers and layers of the biofilm are being a little more tricky. However, instead of peeling off the biofilm and leaving my skin raw, red and bleeding everywhere, it's peeling off and leaving some healthier-looking skin in small places.
The other thing I can report and I'm not sure if there is any significance is that some of the black hairs/tubes I pull out after the biofilm is removed are pulling out and don't have that big black glob on the end of it. They "almost" look like normal hairs. I only have a 10x magnifying glass and not a microscope to examine closer.
The one improvement I am sure of is that the dark discolorations seem to be clearing in "waves." For instance, on the backs of my hands, there appear to be areas that are clearing more quickly than others. I wonder if this has something to do with the thickness or the age of the spots? Dunno.
I took some photos of the discolorations the first week on cumanda and I'll compare them to new photos one day soon. The reason I took photos is that because I stare at these areas all day, every day, it's not as easy to notice changes. Had lunch with a girlfriend yesterday and she immediately noticed there's a "little difference" and she could see the areas that are "more clear" than others.
I almost had to laugh at BeLikeWater's description of rushing to the potty! I thought I was doing that just because I drink soooo much water since I'm also on the salt/c. Most nights I get up every 2 hours.
I did not notice an improvement until the 2nd day after starting the Burbur. I slept 10 1/2 hours and got up only 1 time!!!! The number of times I'm getting up in the night is now 2 times at most. That's really cool. Oh, I take 3 mg. Melatonin to help me sleep. It works for me. That and ear plugs for my husband's snoring!
Stay tuned.

I know what you mean, I don't want to get overly enthusiastic about any one product, but I do think the Cumanda is really helpful. For the first time in many months, I woke up today with no scratchiness in my eyelids and they feel less swolen. The urinary symptoms are almost down to nothing.
This is day 10 for me of 2x Cumanda per day and minerals and some Burbur. I am doing 20 drops Cumanda per dose, now.
My main new symptom seems to be more tiredness than usual. Also, the itchies came back with the full moon, but my homeopathics are cutting those down.

Hi BeLikeWater~~
I am so happy to hear that your incontinence is down to near 0!!!
I am doing better in that area as well -- I was pretty bad, so I'm not down to 0, but on a scale from 1-10, I'm at about a 7. I think I probably need more minerals and also exercise those particular muscles.
I found the itchy patches to cycle in and out every couple of weeks, which was one of the reasons I was speculating on the Cumanda pushing them up and out. Also, it made me wonder if the Cumanda causes them to go into one of their phases, to try to survive, and then it can get at them better.
I too, won't put all my eggs in just the Cumanda Becket (so to speak), but then this is multifaceted in nature and, as you know, needs to be treated as such.
I've been looking into Hyssop -- it is suppose to be good for causing the skin to perspire and release toxins from the skin. Do you know anything about Hyssop?

Hi CA GA Peach~~
I noticed you posted that it seems to be clearing the dark patched in 'waves'. I've noticed that as well. And, when the first few weeks on the Cumanda, it worked on my hands as well, then my legs, and onto by feet and face.
I usually only needed to get up once or twice in the night to go to the bathroom, and now its down to maybe 5:30 in the morning which is about 45 minutes before I have to get up. Also, I can go for longer periods during the day without having to go to the bathroom.
The first month, my urine had a greenish tinge to it. Have you noticed this at all? The green tinge has been gone from it for the past three weeks, though. So, I'm thinking I must have had a serious infection in my bladder or kidneys? that it is helping to clear up.

Friday 03.09~
Last night, I started to add the Samento -- just before going to bed. 5 drops.
This morning, I awoke with a stiff neck which seems to be mostly gone tonight. I think I'm going to stay on the 5 drops for a week and watch for healing crisis. If it goes away, I'll increase the dosage.
I've read that when it comes to Samento, you want to 'push it' until you have healing crisis, as this means the dosage is at a level that is being effective.
How much are you taking of Samento?

Hi John~~
Thanks for the link -- so, Cumanda was started around 20005 -- its too bad it got 'lost' in the archives. I sure wish I had started this 2 years ago.
but, now is good too.
You posted that you had Cumanda on your 'short list'. I didn't see it in your list of supplements you have up. Are your taking it? -- or have you ever?
Curious about your results if you have... life

My thoughts about the "wave" phenomenon of clearing of the skin: I think Lyme bacteria invade in waves, so maybe this is reversing those invaded areas.
Also, related to the itchies this full moon: I have been going into complete menopause, and it's about time!! I am 56. Well, I had no bleeding the last two monthes, but whoa, bleeding just started for me again today. I usually had periods around the full moon, so I think this is just a normal part of the tapering off. However, I think the itchies are related to hormone surge.
Life, before I started the Cumanda, I had gotten a combined homopathic remedy for incontinence that did help a bit. For me, I think the combination of the homeopthics and the cumanda may be the key. The homeopathic is not costly, it is: EnurAid by Hyland's.
Re: Hyssop, frankly I wouldn't use another herb added to the cumanda, etc., that you are now using. What I use to clear the follicles is homeopathic silica, 30C strength. This is a deep acting remedy so use it sparingly. This will also strengthen skin and nails. You can google homeopathic remedy silica.

Hi BeLikeWater~~
Thanks so much for the Homeopathic -- both of them.
I had purchased SilicaPlus (which is not Homeopathic) and took it for just 5 days. My hair got soft -- and stayed soft even with just 5 days usage of the product, which was over 6 months ago.
The reason I stopped, is that I had read in Dr. Overman's book, that he finds most all Morgies have silicone in them and that silicone can be made from silica. I say him at the World Health Expo -- he spent several ours with me -- I asked him to test me for silica and he said I had none that he could tell.
So, I was going to add the SilicaPlus back in, but your Homeopathic suggestion sounds 'safer'. How strong is it? Should I take one dosage only and "wait and see'?
hugs, life

Cumanda Tada!
Thanks for the laugh ant. Hope you are faring well. Let us know how you are doing up there in Bigfoot country.
Hi Life,
Cumanda was on my short list-- but I got well on the other herbs before purchasing any, so I had to leave the testing up to other folks who had lesions, etc.
Of course we were taking other herbs that combat parasites of all kinds before Cumanda became available to us. That's one of difficulties of determining which herb is doing what, when you have a big mix. We didn't care- just wanted to get well immediately.
It's great that you are able to benefit from Cumanda and pass that knowledge on to others. Morgellons and Lyme are so complex that any one herb would probably fall short of getting one well, so vigilance to other herbs and synergism should be a focus.
I see that new research with CFS is pointing toward a viral component, and then we have mycoplasma concerns, as well as fungal, and who knows what else. In todays world of super-bugs, I think prophylaxis will become the norm. In other words, take herbs to stay well.
Blue Skies..........John

jwf besidesnprophylaxis, I think we may also have to learn to live with chronic disease. I think some pallative things mixed with a slow cure. At least that seems to be my experience. Thanks for all you do.

Life, If you want to maybe take some homeo silica every day buy Schuessler's cell salts silicea 6X. Using the 30C strength, take it and then wait and see. For regular use, probably no more frequently than once every 5-7 days. It acts slowly and deeply.

Sorry I missed the cumanda info that was posted this time last year. I wonder, though, if I would have been astute enough to have recognized improvement at that time? I was really sick and barely surviving the 7 Biltricide (4 pills each time) and 7 Ivermectin treatments! Those treatments were tough. Fast forward 14 months, couple of versions of GS’s protocol, salt/c which gave me back my stamina, and I’m a lot more in tune with my body and how it reacts to treatment. My LLMD is weaning me off the abx, fluconazole, flagyl, albendazole. I also take Zyrtec which helps with the crawling and itching and biting, congestion. Since my insurance runs out in a couple of weeks and a new policy is so expensive because of the Lyme dx, the alternative treatments are becoming my priority. Besides, it’s looking like natural is the only chance we have. As I have stated before, NOTHING has been so effective on the biofilm as the Cumanda. Nothing. Since I started the Samento soon after starting the Cumanda, I’m not sure if it’s one or both of them that may be also reducing the numbers of black hairs/tubes. And, I’m glad to be able to report today that there is less of the clear liquid that surfaces to form the biofilm. I started Cumanda at full dosage, 20 drops 2 times a day; Samento at 20 drops, 2 times a day; Burbur 10 or 11 drops 4 times a day. Almost 3 1/2 weeks of use.I can go for hours and hours without going to the restroom even with all the water I drink and with lots of iced tea today!!! Yes, after bragging above about being in touch with my body, the incontinence part slipped up on me so slowly that I didn’t realize I had a problem until it’s now gone! Got up 1 time last night. My lymph glands along my neck were a little sore (very little) this morning. I’m sorry to admit that I haven’t noticed the color of my urine since starting the Cumanda so don’t know if there are changes. I’ll start. Yesterday, just out of the blue, my left nostril became crusty and bloody. Related ? Lots of glitter on face in mornings. Fewer fibers today. Eyes have been more sensitive to light the last three days. Dreams seem to be returning. But, still need lots of rest. Sleep 9-10 hours a night but do not need a nap in the afternoon. Brain fog has cleared a little the last couple of days. Since I am on the salt/c and in the midst of the dreaded 9-month herx, the continued fatigue could be due to the salt/c herx. I am completing small projects and able to do some planning, organization and enjoying cleaning out closets, cabinets, re-potting plants, craft projects, etc. I’m quite excited to see what happens with symptoms when I go all natural. Yes, had I been more educated in the beginning when I was so very sick and had I known then that I also have Lyme, I may have chosen not to do the Rx’s. But, at the time, GS’s protocol was the best thing for treating the Morgellons. Oh, well, coulda, shoulda, woulda . . . I’ve gotta deal with now and not second-guess earlier decisions. Fondly,

Question on how to take Cumanda, Samento and Burbur:
I haven't been taking these exactly the way Dr. Cowden suggests. Can someone explain why these are to be taken separately and what the consequences are for not taking them as directed?
Thanx,
