Hedgehog inhibitor pain relief
"I'm putting this out there for other folks in cancer treatment taking a hedgehog inhibitor and having the side effect of severe muscle cramps and bone pain. I have been on Erivedge (Vismodegib) 1 month on, 2 months off (chemo holiday) for over 3 years. Cramping starts for me between week 1 and 2 an continues typically for 10 weeks. This time my cramps pretty much ended at 2 weeks into my 'holiday' - that is a big improvement!
I found that taking 1000mg 2 times a day cut the cramps and pain by about half after the first week. On advice of oncologist I went up to 1000mg 3x day and the relief is significant, this in terms of frequency, and duration of the cramps and severity. On the pain scale this took me from a 10 down to a 3. I wish Thorne sold it in larger quantities. I am going to try another brand that also has none of the magnesium stearate and other filler things that I react to. Grateful and hope I continue to get this relief."
Post TBI review
"I sustained a severe traumatic brain injury, coma etc. and miraculously survived to tell the tale in 2020. TBI recovery comes with all kinds of its own struggles and downfalls, some of which include memory issues (working and short term), irritability, and sudden mood changes, and I’ve tried a TON of different products and modalities. While I can only take a guess if I’ve seen results with other products, I know for certain with this one. It helps me regulate my mood easier and level out quicker, it slows my racing mind down. This blend is the real deal"
Helps w brain/energy
"I got this to take for a head injury/TBI and I do notice when I take it I have a bit more energy. Someone gave me some of theirs to try first (before I invested in my own) and when I ran out, I noticed my energy dropped again.. so I just ordered a bottle. Since I’ve been taking it again, I notice I have a bit more energy again. Not sure the long term usage and/or if that energy affect wears off. Will update if I notice any changes but will keep taking it for now."
