Molo-cure:100% cure from Colitis??
Has anyone heard of this company?
It claims 100% cure from Colitis
There is a web site www.molocure.com and they advertise a product called AMP which stands for Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides. Its fairly expensive, but who wouldn't pay to rid of Colitis or Crohn's. Check it out and please let me know if you have any feedback.

Molocure
I tried the AMP from Molocure for about three months and you are right, it is expensive. They send you a lot of literature and testimonials from patients that say they have been cured. The literature really makes sense in why their product should be beneficial. I had no relief from any symptoms during the three months that I tried it. Maybe I didn't give it enough time; I don't know. Maybe it worked for their "patients" who gave the testimonials but not for me. Good luck.
Molocure......Bevryche
Hi....thanks for being honest. I was wondering about that too. Glad I hold back on trying things specially that are costly.
There is always a load of testimonials and believers for just about anything out there. When something stops working for them then they are either too embarrassed to let others know OR just move onto other things and do not admit.
First off...IF there was a TRUE cure then Drs and some pharmaceutical companies would grab a hold of that and even "make some money" for themselves. I know that many do that sell by saying that the reason that drs and researcher do NOT want to endorse something that "really works" is because they cannot make money or are don't do reasearch on it since the research is paid for by drug companies. WELL?? I think if either would KNOW something is a TRUE cure then both types would go for it....everyone WANTS to be noted for a CURE!
I had gone into such good remissions for crohns that many times COULD have swore it's gone...got cured??
The thing with me...I did nothing different then usaul and it just did go into remission. Maybe like some cancer patients that go into remission ...end up doing a testimonial that something CURED them? Then only later to find out that same thing is back even twice as bad. Heck, right now ..I wish there was a TRUE cure so I would not be going back into more flares.

Molocure
I'm a physician and my wife with UC is trying Molocure-strict diet no roughage, no caffeine. She was having pain and bleeding and is clearly improved. Only time will tell. I would love to hear from others who have tried this AMP product from aloe. Thanks RogJack6112@comcast.net
molo-cure
I have tried AMP molo-cure for pouchitis and after 3 weeks I feel great. It is the only thing, EVER, that has made me feel good. I had taken antibiotics since 96, and this is the first time I dint need them. I dont even follow the diet that well, but take the pills always on an empty stomach and wait about an hour or two before eating.
Everyone should try it because medicine does not really heal anyway.
Molocure
I am skeptical of the so called "testimonials." I think they are probably made up by the company. I noticed the same grammatical error in the company's page and in two of the testimonials. "It's" means "it is" or "it has", but "its" without the apostrophe is correct when you are talking about "its effects" (the possessive form) and don't mean "it is" or "it has". Neither the company nor the people writing the testimonials seem to know the difference. Ok, I suppose you could argue that the people who wrote the testimonials used the correct word but that the person who posted it to the website "edited" it and made it incorrect.
Who is to stop them from making up testimonials?
I agree with the poster who said if it truly was a "cure" then doctors everywhere would know and pharmaceutical companies would jump on the bandwagon. There would also be some controlled clinical trials available that were done on people with IBD
(not on people with skin burns) and the results would be published in a respectable journal.
But it's your money, and if you try it, I certainly hope it works. I suffer from UC and know how painful it can be.
But when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, especially when it costs lots of money.
Grammar?! please.
It's nice how you use grammar skills as a measure of scientific accuracy and honesty.
I could easily pick apart your post for grammar and then say that therefore you are full of crap. Frankly it's irrelevant in my opinion.
What is relevant is your own statement:
"I agree with the poster who said if it truly was a "cure" then doctors everywhere would know and pharmaceutical companies would jump on the bandwagon."
If you had any sort of knowledge in this area that was useful, then you would know that the reason pharmaceutical companies don't "jump on the bandwagon" is that they don't pursue things they cannot patent. A synthetic drug or molecule is patentable, a natural substance is not. There's no protection of the company's profits from a drug they can't patent. Anyone can else can copy it and sell it. And given the cost of studies, trials, and FDA approval, it's not in their interest to do what they would consider charity, by selling natural substances.
I personally was impressed with the company's obvious effort to give as much information as possible about their product, their research and their claims.
They do give enough information to make themselves liable.
That says something.
Also, the real test is personal research, which is what I'm doing now. I've looked for research and independent testimonials, which is how I came to this forum.
So far I've found an overwhelming amount of positive comments, research and testimonials.

Molo-cure
Hi! I'm new to this website, and just want to advise that as of yesterday I have started taking the Molocure pills. I am taking 9 a day which was the recommended dose for chronic illness. I suffer from Chronic fatigue and have done for the past 10 years. I know the pills are expensive, but if they work.........they're pretty cheap! I'll keep you posted on how I get on. The diet is the only thing that is killing me. Nothing nice to eat or drink!
molocure
I have read all of your comments and could not resist to reply, which I rearly do. I have been taking molocure for almost two months and I will tell you: it works. I have GERD and colitis. Also I was suffering from chronic fatique that is now gone. I still have some symptoms of GERD, but I am not on strict diet that they recommend. For my GERD I was using Nexium before and it was giving me nos bleed every morning. Since I started using AMP and stopped Nexium I do not have it anymore.
There is another thing that I want to tell you. I was suffering for last two years from so called "panick attacks". My doctor was giving me all kind of medication for depresion and anxiety. I used them for awhile untill I realized that I am getting so many side effects from them. I decided to go for natural cures. That is how I found AMP. Since I started using it I do not suffer from "panick attacks" (I am not sure that I really had that illness because of the symptoms that I had, but that is long story). I am not a doctor, but I know my body better that anybody, and I believe that I had malabsorbtion. I am coming from over seas, from small country where people used all kind of natural remedies to cure their diseases, aloe vera was one of them. People who had ulcers would use mixture of aloe vera, wine and honey and cure it. That is why I believe in this product. I am not totally cured, but I feel 80% better than two months ago. If it cures me 100%, than it is not expensive at all. I decided to pay and try out of desperation. I do not want doctors to test medications on me anymore without finding right diagnosis. Only you can decide what is best cure for you, and remember to listen your body. Only you now how you feel.

Follow up on Molocure- negative results
I had posted several months previous that my wife improved after the first several weeks on Molocure for her extensive ulcerative colitis of 10 yrs duration.
The f/u is that after 2 months she stopped taking it, as it was not working.
She then began just the "Break the Vicious Cycle" diet and has been very strict. Now after 3 months she has dramatically improved. Less diarrhea, no bleeding. She pays however if she gets off the diet. Overall she is satisfied with the diet and no meds except fiber for the spastic colon aspect. Good Luck, Roger
Thank You
Roger, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your wife's progress with Molecure's product. For those of us who are in search of unbiased information, feedback like yours is critical. I hope your wife continues to feel better with the Gotschall diet.
Use of AMP
My wife is suffering from UC since 1992. I was about to begin AMP treatment but I am confused after reading the comments and feedback from those who have already used it.
AMP Molocure
Like most of you, I too am looking for relief from gastrointestinal problems. I suffer from IBS and have since I was a child. However, it has become more of a problem in the last two-plus years with increased bloating, gas, constipation, etc.
Finding no relief from doctors, prescription medications, etc. I decided to take the matter into my own hands and see what I could find out. I came across the AMP Molocure site and also thought it was too good to be true! However, after reading through the entire site (which includes a LOT of information), I decided to give it a try.
I am almost through with my first month's dosage and have seen an improvement most recently in the past few days. It's hard to tell, however, if the relief is coming from the strict diet they put you on or the pills. It is very expensive but I was at the point that if it worked, it was definitely worth the money. Also, unfortunately, I believe I followed the recommended diet much more carefully because of all that I had invested.
When this month's bottle is empty I don't think I am going to reorder. I believe I am going to try just using the recommended diet and see what happens. Hopefully that will tell me if the AMP is working or if it's just the diet.
I also found a helpful book "Tell Me What To Eat If I Have Irritable Bowel Syndrome" by Elaine Magee. The author also suffers from IBS and it contains a lot of the same diet information as AMP Molocure advises.
If anyone has any more information, please e-mail me at sillybuttt@aol.com.

molo-cure
My husband suffers from UC (currently in Hospital with second flare up in 15 months). He purchased Molo-cure, and took it for approx. two weeks with no results. Now that is not to say it wouldn't work if he stuck with it, but his flare up was soooo bad that it might have helped him if he did it BEFORE the flare up or in the beginning of it ANd IF HE followed it to the letter. But he didn't. He would not eat the stage one diet (bland foods) and ...he is in hospital, on cyclosporin and solumedrol IVs trying to avoid surgery. He has been sick for 7-8 weeks now. Pray for him. I am having our third child in 4 weeks.

Ulcerative Colitis
I have been taking Molo Cure for 1.5 months, since my first flare up. It seems as though its been working. I follow the diet fairly strictly and take 9 pills a day. Since the flare up, I have been feeling better, I am hoping it will keep working. I don't take any other medication. I am also interested in speaking to someone who has been taking molo cure for longer than I have. Please e-mail me if you have any info for me: sly007@hotmail.com
AMP aka Aloe vera
Just a few notes on the previous posts... As was mentioned earlier pharmaceutical giants cannot patent a natural substance so that is why they haven't jumped on the "band wagon." As a matter of fact they are very leery of such natural substances because they do not want natural to be used in place of their lucrative products. Also, aloe is not a cure for anything. It is an immune modulator that aids the body in "fixing" itself. It is also anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory which is why it is so beneficial for Colitis, IBS, Acid reflux, and many other things. Aloe vera products cost a lot of money because it takes a lot of money to grow, harvest, process, and bottle. Harvesting is not done by machines it is hand pulled, stripped of outer leaves and then the remainder of the plant is replanted. Processing is also very people intensive. People are expensive. There are many Aloe vera products out there that do not cost as much as Molocure AMP and are as effective and in many, many cases more effective. It wouldn't hurt to shop around for a concentrated Aloe vera product that you feel is in a more comfortable price range. However, keep in mind, that when you look for a lower cost in many cases it means a lower quality product, even to the extent that you do not receive any results or benefits at all. Also be aware that what Molocure calls AMP is found naturally in aloe. It is an acetylated mannose referred to as Acemannan as well as other polysaccharides. These are very important biological components of aloe that aid in the immune system modulation. Aloe vera should be looked at as a supplement that is taken every day just like a vitamin. For best long-term results it should be consumed every day. The side benefits of aloe are so great that it is worth every penny. When your immune system is functioning well, all kinds of annoying discomforts can fade away. If you wish to learn more about aloe enter "Aloe Vera" in a search engine and millions of sights will come up. My personal favorite is aloe-vera.com.

molo-cure
I checked out their website and it does look too good to be true. I need to verify it's claims and validity before I shell out $180 for one bottle. We must remember too that this forum is open to anyone - even people that work for molo-cure, so some of these letters could be from them and fictitious.
I'd need testimony from at least a few individuals. I'd need their valid email address so we can communicate, and their gastroenterologist's name and phone number so I could validate that too and call them and make sure that person is indeed a patient.
The price is very high for the molo-cure. I believe this is so because if it is a scam and doesn't work then you've already shelled out quite a bit of money and even if you never buy again they've already made their profit and whose gonna know it didn't work for you? They try to get as much from you up front so they make the most profit.
I believe that if this was real then the information would be available to validate. I have a hard time believing ALL doctors, drug companies, etc. would do nothing about this. Also, it is not mentioned at all on the ccfa.org website. Don't you think they'd at least have some comments. Again, I can't believe that the whole world is in it for the money and that no viable information is available on it. I would proceed with caution with this one unless you actually know someone personally who has ordered it and it has miraculous results. If so write to this forum and maybe we can communicate so I can be cure of my Crohn's disease too!

interested
I'd like to communicate with you somehow as to your progress and I'd have a few questions to validate that you are indeed a real patient with crohn's disease (no offense) are you willing to swap info? thanks
