Hi Megan~~
What week are you in?
I started to feel 'happy' in about the 3rd week, if I remember correctly. Nice, isn't it?
Also, are you taking Burbur? If not, you might want to order some. The Burbur really helps with Herxes -- it helps your body to cleanse the liver, kidneys, as well as the lymph glands -- the lymph fluid leaves the blood stream, goes out into the body and cleanses the body, returning the fluid into the blood stream with what ever toxins it has picked up -- hense, less Herxing effects with the Burbur.
I'm excited for you!!!!!!

Hi Megan~~
What types of symptoms do you have? It would be nice for others to know.
Also how long have you had this? And, do you have any coinfections?
hugs, life

Hi Megan~~
Wow! Thanks so much for putting up your information.
Its interesting to me that you did not mention having any co-infection of LD or Babs.
I came to using Dr. Cowden's protocol because I had decided that since there is no known 'cure' for Morgs, that I would stay positive by doing what I CAN do to eradicate LD and Babs from my body in the hopes that my body would then be strong enough to rid itself of the Morg infestation.
I wrote all this to say that, since you are basically 'clear' of the co-infections it is going to be REALLY interesting, to me anyway, to see then what effect this protocol has on your Morg symptoms specifically.
You're a clearer case of it, if you will.
I'm so glad you are willing to try this protocol and keep us updated -- you will have very important information for us all.
hugs, life

So I've been back on the protocol for 3 days. The Herx from the Samento only lasted a couple of days. None today.
What I'm doing now: 20 drops of Cumanda 2 X's a day; mornings and when I get home from work (about 4 in the afternoon.) 20 drops of Samento @ bedtime. Burbur, about 10 drops under the tongue and holding it there as long as I can whenever I think to take it -- about 4-5 times a day.
Yesterday and today, I was extremely tired when I got home from work -- could be the work load as I have been working very hard, performing many extra activities which prevent me from having any breaks during the work day.
I took a nap today after work. I woke up with the sun shining brightly in my bedroom and saw several white lint-type fibers floating around above me in the sunlight. What I found interesting was this: when I would put my finger 'near' one to see if it would be attracted to me, it would be repelled by me.
At first, I thought it might be air-streams caused by the movement of my hand, so I continued with my 'experiment' by moving my index finger toward a fiber very, very slowly. When my finger would get within an inch or two of one of the lint fibers, it would 'jump' up and away from where it was slowly floating down in the air.
I mention all this because it seems ( to me anyway) that when I take the Cumanda, it causes them to push out from my body. Which may be why, by day 3, I am again able to rub my jawline area with just my dry fingers and 'rub off' outer skin, which I actually think may be small fibers coming to the surface of the skin in an attempt to get away from the Cumanda environment in my body.
I hope so, because what that means to me is that eventually (could take years but progress is all I'm looking for right now) the Cumanda environment will cause them to leave the internal organs, bones, etc. -- in the long run.
Perhaps that is why when I take the Cumanda, I find more lint-size fibers in my urine as my kidneys filter it out.
Just some thoughts and speculations on my observations is all that it is right now.

Hi Megan~~
I have not had the money (since I moved and major car issues) to have a plug installed by an electrician so I can use my far infa-red sauna. So, its been since last Thanksgiving.
I'm planning to have that done with my next paycheck -- next week. Just need to find an electrician....
And, its not off topic. The off topic part was posted a couple of times because of negative nay-sayers. This post was started for Cumanda, Samento, Burbur anecdotal results -- informational in nature.
Anything we are doing, and adding it to our protocol is certainly important for others to read and see our results.
I'm planning on adding things (waiting for next paycheck again to do it) that Dr. Overman suggested I take for Morgs. I saw him at the World Health Expo in Long Beach last month.
When I start his recommendations, I'll be adding those results to this post as well. He has helped several people with Morgs -- and has a section in his book about what he did for them and the results they had.

Good Morning, Everyone:
I sure wish I had "life's" talent for recognizing, evaluating and reporting the wonderful results some of us are definitely getting from the Cumanda/Samento/Burbur. And, thank you "Admin" for the heads-up on the clinical trials on Dr. Cowden's protocol. I'm not surprised at all at the exciting results. I'm living it right now!
At Cumanda (25 drops 2/day), Samento (25 drops 2/day), Burbur (12 drops 4/day) I continue to improve. My skin is looking better absolutely every day! A friend came for a visit yesterday and even she could see how my normal skin color is coming back. It will take a long time if this improvement continues. I saw changes on the 3rd day and now at 43 days of this protocol, I have my first hope of getting rid of these extra layers of skin.
What once appeared to be a solid layer of "tan" with ugly dark, raised spots now appears to be millions and millions of tiny, small, medium and large spots that have grown together to cover almost everything. The smallest spots are drying up first and the darker spots are fading more slowly.
There are still fewer black tubes/hairs on my face but that improvement is not as outstanding as the drying spots. My left eyebrow may soon be free of all biofilm. The right will take a lot longer as it is really thick.
How do I feel? So very much better and with much more energy and stamina! However, that headache . . .
Will some of you respond on "the headache?" I'm hoping this is a herx. It always hits me about 3:00 or 4:00 am. The pain is mostly in back, but front too as my sinuses are stopped up. Yesterday was especially bad and now I remember taking more Cumanda the day before to see if I got even better results. The headache isn't every day and I take Burbur and OTC Naproxen but it takes a while to stop.
Eyes are still sensitive to light but floaters are not an issue right now. Brain fog comes and goes and I doubt the ringing ears will ever go away. I've learned to live with that. Fewer and fewer white fibers, too.
Thank you all for continuing to report. There have been times that I have had to look hard for improvement with different products. That's not the case here. Thank you, life, for introducing these miracle herbs to me!

Hi Folks,
Up to 30 drops/day of Cumanda after 2 weeks. An interesting sense of well being, occasionally and that's it.
Maybe that can be taken as good news... nothing left to kick out. Hope so.
Still taking Cat's Claw, Sarsaparilla, Grape Seed Extract, Garlic, and Olive Leaf Extract, for maintenance.
Blue Skies............John

Hi John~~
Your general sense of well being is interesting to me. I wonder if the Cumanda has anything to do with our body's seratonin uptake. Just a thought.
Also, thanks ever so much for trying this. Since you are well now, it is interesting to hear your results -- if any.
hugs, life

HI Megan~~
I actually itched a bit more after taking Cumanda -- I think it started around the third week if I remember correctly. It was not the unbearable, horrible itchies, but more itchiness in a general sense. It would come and go for a couple of weeks, and then it simply vanished.
I'm hoping to hear that your headaches will be alleviated when you start the Burbur. Hope so.
Cumanda does cross the BBB within 3 minutes after taking it, so it could be 'killing' something in our brains -- or pushing it out? And, if that is true, then it is imperative that we not heal more quickly than our body can rid itself of them and their toxins.
So, keep listening to your body just as you are now -- and slow but steady just as you are doing.
I'm curious to hear if there is any difference when you use the sauna now that you are on the Cumanda. Any additional purging of things from the skin -- or if it makes the Cumanda more efficacious.
Thanks, too for taking the time to continue posting your results. It seems to me there is a bit of a 'pattern' forming that I see, mostly with when things start to happen.
Be well, life

Hi CA GA Peach~~
I don't know if I can help with the headaches, but I want to suggest something for the ringing in your ears.
I had that quite severely the first year. I took Artemisinin -- not for the ringing ears -- but, the ringing in my ears stopped within about five days of taking it. It may be that it is a symptom of Babs.
If your interested in trying the Art, let me know, and I'll write out all I know about it. I know John has used Art as well. One thing I am certain of about it -- you will know if it is working for you fairly quickly and it is not outlandishly expensive to try.
I'm actually planning out how I am going to incorporate it into the Cumanda, Samento protocol. There is a book I found on the Internet written by a doctor in Florida that is all about Babesia and he has several chapters in the book about Art.
Its effective for killing Malaria, which is a cousin to Babs, and also kills asexual parasites as well as several cancers. It has a peroxide chain within its molecular structure which is what it uses to seek out and destroy certain cells while leaving healthy cells intact.
As for the sinuses -- the Cumanda is having positive effects on mine, but I also have taken Myrrh tincture -- which was absolutely awesome for me concerning my sinuses, lungs, and intestines. You might want to try it -- it works specifically in mucus.
Perhaps John will be able to address the headaches with his decades of experience and knowledge.
Hugs to you my dear, life

Well, I finally started Herxing today. Not fun, but not too bad.
So, I get to join the "Headache Club" girls.
They're both in front and in the back, sometimes on my right side and they alternate back and forth.
The one thing that I did differently today was that I added about 1/2 t. Turmeric to my morning smoothie. So, I guess its really effective, but I think I'll cut it out until the headaches are gone and then go down to 1/4 t.; see what that does.
I tried it because Turmeric is great for the skin, works against round worms, pin worms, and those on a daily Indian diet have the world's lowest numbers for Alzheimer's.
Back to having large clump-like 'hangnails' coming out around my cuticles again.
My hands feel 'hot', like they have a fever -- that one is totally new.
Also today, I have had a tightness under my skin from the top of my right hand (I've got 4 really old and deep carbuncle-types that have been there for over a year) that extended through my wrist and up the entire top surface of my arm about 3/4 Th's the way to my elbow.
Aches, pains in joints and what feels like in my bones too. I don't think its the Cumanda though, I think its the Turmeric.
Or maybe its the combination of the two together. Yikes!
but life is still good cause my skin's lookin' better and better

This is the beginning of my 11th week.
When I started the Cumanda, I had 11 on my left leg (from my knee to my ankle) and I'm down to 2.
My right leg had 8 and I'm down to 5 -- 3 of which have diminished to the point they are just a small bump under the skin.
How I count them: if they are dark, but flat to the skin and I can not feel anything under the skin and no specks or anything -- I don't count them.
The one on the small of my back that had resurfaced while off the Cumanda for 9 days is gone. When I started the Cumanda, I had about 6-8 (hard to count there) and they were from bug bites I continue to get in my classroom.
I don't want to jinx my healing process, but thought I should report it. If this continues, I might even be able to wear skirts again -- maybe by summer?
The 6 on the top of my right hand are down to 3, the 3 left being the worst of them. My right hand is still a bit stiff when I make a fist, but not swollen at all.
They are still coming out around my cuticles and I pulled several 'calluses' off of the tips of my fingers yesterday.
I have had none on my scalp since last week, but that has happened to me in the past.
They keep coming out of my chin -- looks like pimples I've picked at.
No itching at all.
Only one black speck on my sheets this morning.
Back to having that feeling of overall 'happiness' for no apparent reason, which started last night.
I was extremely tired most of last week and that is going away this week -- much more energy, although no where near what I used to have naturally.
life is good -- this week anyways

Forgot to mention the gnarly one on my nose/cheek is down by about 1/2.

life, glad the gnarly one is going and great to hear about that 'feeling of overall happiness'. I am still doing well on the Samento - only the lesions on my feet and those are pretty dry. I have a rash on my back but no longer get the migratory pain and burning skin and much less itchy. Still got the floaters and don't talk about memory but I am doing pretty well.
I am starting some medical treatment as a follow up to recent op but once that is finished I am going to try the Cumanda so I'll be watching these reports and hope you all continue to do well.

4.2.2007
Starting 7 weeks Cumanda 25 drops 2 x day, Samento 25 drops 2 x day, and Burbur now at 25 drops 4 times a day. I increased the Burbur from 10-12 drops 4 x day to 25 drops because the headaches were really tough. I had right eye twitches return for about 1 1/2 days; gone now.
Heart hurt some yesterday but is OK today. Skin continues to look better. Shoulders are quite painful and there is no improvement in the finger joints. I cannot make a fist with either hand. Strangely, it's the 2 middle fingers on each hand that are the worst. These have been bad for a number of years now and I would be really surprised if I saw improvement here.
I am continuing the salt/c in addition to the Cumanda/Samento/Burbur. I welcome comments about me increasing Burbur to such a high dose (25 drops 4 times a day). Is there a reason I shouldn't take more than recommended? And, it may have stopped the headaches.
BTW, vision has been blurry for short periods the last few weeks, but I haven't experienced that in the last week. The Hawthorn seems to be helping keep the heart palpitations down. Am sleeping pretty good but still getting up at 1:00 and 3:00 to visit the potty. I drink a whole lot of water every day with the salt/c and I'm drinking a big mug of bedtime tea each night right at bedtime. I think that's why I have to get up to go because the next time is usually after 7:30 am.
Oh, B4 I forget, my hair is getting really thick again and growing like a weed. I think all this hair is mine, so far. Energy level has been pretty good. If I were to lie down for a nap, I'd surely go to sleep, but have not crashed in the afternoon as I have in the past. No caffeine, just organic green tea chai in the morning.
Later,
|

Hi Hannah~~
Nice to see that you are up and about on the board a bit more. You must be feeling a bit better.
Hope so. And I'm so happy to hear about your feet -- that has been going on for a long time -- too long.
You might want to ask your naturopathic doctor what he thinks of your adding Bubur for now too. It cleanses the liver, kidneys, and the lymphatic system. Might be good for your healing. If you do decide to try it, take about 10-15 drops before and after each meal.
Also, Arnica -- it helps the body heal quicker. I've talked with someone who had gone in for plastic surgury, and the doctor had her take Arnica -- lowers bleeding, bruising, and speads up the recovery process. I heard about it when I had a skiing accident -- it took the ache away and there was no inflamation.
I'm glad the gnarly one on my face is going down too -- I tried to hide it as best I could with glasses or sunglasses, but it was traveling down onto my cheek.
And Oxygen.
Tons of hugs and all my love to you my dear, life

CA GA Peach~~ Personally, I don't think higher amounts of Burbur will harm you when you look at the studies conducted using off-the-charts high amounts on rats with no side effects. We need to make 'friends' with what we are taking. You're pretty observant, so trust how you feel on this one. You'll know what's right for you. I wish my hair would start growing like weeds!!!! I have baby hairs growing back where this thing made my hairline recede, but that's about it. And its soft again as it grows out. I think my hair is all my own too again, except at the nap of my neck -- still a bit kinky, but straightening out week by week. You probably have the best head start on this protocol because of the salt/c you've been doing. Look at BeLikeWater's suggestion for late-night peeing. It was the Cumanda with a Homeopthic added to it. She posted it on this thread. Hugs to you and (stay away from Soup Plantations in OT for awhile! ), life
