AMP Molocure
I just had to jump in on this discussion. I first learned about AMP back in August (after my hysterectomy) when I was getting tired of food allergies. Like many of you, I thought it sounded too good to be true and questioned the validity of the testimonials. On the other hand, if it works, it's well worth it. Unfortunately you don't find out until you have spent at least $179 plus shipping.
I strongly disagree however with the comments that there is NO cure for crohns or other diseases for that matter. I have been battling various health related issues since my hysterectomy some of which I have gotten rid of through nutrition and supplements. The body has an innate ability to heal itself. If you cut yourself, the cut heals even if you don't do anything about it. Given the fact that most people maintain a horrible diet of processed foods and buy into the 'you have to take this medication' scam, it's no wonder we get sick. It has taken our bodies a while to GET sick so it will take them a while to get healthy as well. Sometimes when we start detoxing we feel worse at first, but when persistent, it gets better.
I have been reading a lot about metabolic typing and how it helps your body to heal. Here is a link to a site that talks a little bit about it. The site is by an orthodontist named Dr. Kelley who in 1963 was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer www.drkelley.info/article...artid=269. Long story short, he is still alive. Surely if healing of cancer is possible through nutritional changes, we should be able to find a cure from digestive disorders. I for one am more hopeful after reading his article and a book I found called The Metabolic Typing Diet by William Wolcott.
In addition to dietary changes I of course want to take any supplement that might help and AMP Molo-Cure is what I came across when doing research on natural cures. This site is what I found when I did research on AMP. I am still torn on whether to purchase it or not, but if I do, I will post my results. I am NOT a molocure representative and I, too, spoke to them (Pat Hanson). I will say this. The first testimonial is by a Dr. Herman at the Gastroenterology Center in Northern Virginia. I called this center and the receptionist said that Dr. Herman does not give testimonials. That made me skeptical. I brought this up to Pat Hanson who said they have hard copies of all testimonials that were submitted and would not put something on their website that could cause a potential law suit.
Sure would be nice if they had a money back guarantee!!
I havnt yet tried amp but it sounds too good to be true. I have been on a very similiar diet to the one that they prescribe, bland etc and it helps alot. Maybe its the diet thats the best thing and the aloe vera helps it alittle since some of you have said that the symptoms return after they dont observe the diet??
I've spent so much money on fad cures im sick and tired off it and very broke!, anyway i wouldnt trust it just yet.
hopeithelps
I too was hesitant about trying molo-cure. I hate to dish out all that money on something that may or may not work. Through this websight I did find something that worked for me. Three weeks ago I started taking Wellbutrin, 150mg for 2 weeks then up to 300mg after that. I must say that I haven't felt this good in years. After trying all kinds of treatments ( prednisone, pentasa, Remicaid, methotrexate injections just to name a few) I found one that really works for me. I was hesitant at first to try yet another medication, but what did I have to lose? My doctor agreed. Within a few days of taking wellbutrin, I was symtom free and still am today. Thank you to the person who was willing to share this information with me, and I hope this is helpful to anyone else suffering from this disease.
MoloCure
I would like to see the hard research that took place recently in the US on this product. Many companies tell you they have all sorts of research, many times it only comes from overseas sources, where you cannot see the journals.
In the case of Molocure, I tried it, its expensive, it did not work to reduce my condition or symptoms. There is no refund and that is bogus in my opinion. If something does not work and costs more that the normal treatments that are non-traditional, one would think you could get your money back. Hope springs eternal. This product may work for something/someone but the shotgun approach (cures everything) of many of the non-traditional products is appealing to some but in reality is not the way to go to get a cure.

Parasites
Have any of you been tested for parasites? My doc asked for stool samples (they need at least 3 different ones) and they found blastocystis hominis and giardia. The latter is more common in the US and easy to get rid of. Blasto is very hard to get rid of becuase it has adapted to the meds they typically prescribe for it (Flagyl) and it can adapt to any meds/herbs within 2 weeks and then thrive on it.
Anyway, I started reading more about parasites and was amazed that one, they are SO easy to get, and two, they can cause just about any illness or disease in your body because they rob the nutrients out of your food and then dump their waste which gets into your blood. Your blood stream then carries their waste to every part of your body. Gastroparesis is not the only thing that is wrong with me. I have always been healthy and for the last 1 1/2 years or so just about everything in my body has gone whacky and now I know why.
I am not saying everybody here has parasites and gastroparesis doesn't exist, but it's worth checkign out. You may be trying meds and stuff to get rid of the gastrop. symptoms but the underlying cause is never going away. If you can't find a doctor who will run stool tests you can find a lab and order test kits yourself. I know Great Smokies Lab does them (don't have their website) and I believe www.unkikeyhealth.com sells them.
AMP-molocure
Some of the recent postings on AMP-molocure
are totally irrelevant to the topic being discussed,
i.e. Wellbutrin and parasites ?? Why don't those
people stick to the point; whether AMP is as efficacious
as it is claimed to be by Molocure !
cure
Because the overall topic is 'cure'. People are looking for a solution to and end of their problems. I originally replied about AMP and now I get emails when there is another reply. In the meantime I found out I have parasites which could be causing my problems but doctors rarely check for them. My intention was to share that there might be another cause for what's going on, i.e. CrohnsColitis and maybe it will help someone to get over it.
AMP-molocure
Point taken on parasites. Nonetheless, I would tend
to agree with an earlier posting that the amount of
aloe used by Molocure in their AMP capsules is
disproportionately low while the lecithin is disproportionately high. Probably best to compare
with another producer of AMP to see whether AMP
indeed is a solution to inflammatory bowel
disease and, if so, whether one is getting short-changed by Molocure. Yet it is certainly difficult to accept that
AMP is a cure to every autoimmune disorder under the
sun, as Molocure's literature would have one believe.

Parasites
Scooby, I would like to know if there was any indication or correlation of how long you had the parasites and evidence of symptoms. I won't bore you w/my gory details but I will pursue this with my dr.
Parasites
It's really hard to say. I may have had them for years due to my travels, but they could have started giving me problems much later. In 2002 I was on antibiotics 3 times plus I was taking high doses of of Advil due to heavy menstrual cramps. I ordinarily shy away from meds but couldn't deal with the pain. Then I went on the birth control pill for endometriosis. One of many mistakes I made.
In 2002 is when I noticed extreme abdominal distention after eating. It got worse and worse and at this point I have a host of problems. So it could be I got them that year on our honeymoon (we went to the bahamas and other places) or I got them much earlier and because of a weakened immune system from the antibiotics I started having symptoms that year.
Good luck in your quest to get healthy. I hope you find answers and relief.

Molo-cure
Firstly I suffered badly with UC and after much consideration and consultation I tried AMP. It is expensive but it worked in the past faster than any other drugs I had tried including huge doses of steroids in different orifices. After 3 days, all my bleeding had stopped and all symptoms had disappeared completely ! This is not a joke and it did work miraculously, and kept me in remission for about a year and a half. The next relapse did not work as effectively, possibly because my body got used to a maintenance dose. I would advise that if people wish to try it, they use it when needed in high dosage and come off it.
I am very very sceptical and also work in the pharmaceutical industry running clinical trials. To me, this company has been to the FDA and also patented a very complicated manufacturing process to produce high yields of this product - hence the expense. People should not be put off trying something because of money. Your quality of life is far more important. Today, coincidentally, I spoke to a guy who I have never met and given him (via a mate) a new bottle of AMP and the literature I had for him to try before even getting any money for it because he is suffering so badly and considering surgery. I just want him to get better.
For the person who knows so much about pharmas... why would a company want to take on this product if it claims to be a cure? I am in this business to make money for these companies, and they make huge amounts from things like Asacol which requires you to take this for life. If you cure it, they wont make money.
Molo-cure
Guavagroove sounds like a front-person for Molo-cure.
What do you mean..."To me this company has been to
the FDA...", when it actually states on their A.M.P. bottle: "The information stated on this label has not been
evaluated by the FDA..." ?? Futhermore, the FDA is not
the authority to assess [or issue a patent] for Molo-cure's supposedly " very complicated manufacturing
process". Lastly, if A.M.P is such a remarkable healing
breakthrough, why is its efficacy so inconsistent ?

A.M.P. Molo-Cure versus ALOE M.P. PLUS
Hi,
I'm new to this board and have been suffering with acid-reflux for 6yrs to this present date. Was thinking of buying A.M.P. Molo-Cure but decided to hold my money till I would do more research. I found something that may be of interest to you all, another company offering the same or maybe better product for lesser price. Has anyone ever heard of ALOE M.P. PLUS at aloevin.com/default.htm
I came across this site while doing my research for a positive cure. Wondering if anybody has ever heard of them before? I also checked out where they were located and believe it or both companies reside in Florida, could they be the same. Maybe not, since they only ask for $129 per bottle and claim to be better then A.M.P. Molo-Cure. Looking for some feedback on this company before i decide to purchase.

Ulcerative Colitis
I am new to this site too. I wanted to express my experienct in using the less expensive company (Aloevin Corporation) I have UC and have been taking AMP from Aloevin Corp for 1 month now. It seems to have improved my systems but still leaves me going to the bathroom 4-5 times in the morning only. It has not brought me to the same feeling as when I took Predisone. Predisone helped me get back to normal but as soon as I stopped taking Predisone, it returned plus I had a lot of bad affects from Predisone. Since I have only been on AMP for 1 mth, I purchased 3 mths supply and will update you monthly.
I would also like to find someone who has tried both the Molocure and Aloevin to see if they found a difference.
Probiotics and ulcerative colitis
I'm having great success with a self designed medication programme.
I have had ulcerative colitis of the sigmoid colon for two years now and it took 13 months for it to be properly diagnosed. My surgeon thought I was suffering from piles but further investigation by another doctor identified UC as the cause of bleeding.
My initial treatment was cortisone foam applied through the anus. This was moderately effective and gave me initial relief from symptoms but the bleeding still continued.
Then I was prescribed mesalizine enemas called Salofalk which I've been using for the last 3 months with moderately good results. The symptoms come and go but I am back to normal stool regularity and no longer need to urgently use the toilet.
I've researched UC and read every scientific paper on the subject and it seems we're a long way off from identifying the cause. In the mean-time I've used the following treatment with outstanding results:
The following treatment combination works for me but may not work well for you so should you choose to try my recommendations beware that they may make your symptoms much worse than they already are. In my case I'm feeling much better, gaining weight and returning to my former healthy self. Bleeding has slowed and is intermittent rather than heavy:
Each morning before breakfast I take the following:
* 7 grams of Metamucil psyllium husk powder (soluble fibre);
* 1 teaspoon of insoluble fibre;
* 2 enteric coated probiotic tablets;
Every two days I take loperamide to slow the colon and reduce the effects of spastic colon.
The probiotic tablets must be enteric coated to protect them from being destroyed by the acid in my stomach. I hope that by taking good bacteria stems the growth of bad UC causing bacteria.
I firmly believe that UC is caused by bacteria in the colon rather than soley being an immue system disorder. Time will tell but the inflamatory nature of UC is caused by the immune system attacking the colon epithelium. The immune system is being tricked into thinking that colon tissue is a foreign body. I believe colon tissue is hosting bacteria from fecal matter which causes the immune system to react.
We'll, I hope my experiences help others on this board. If they do I'd really like to hear from you.
Ulcerative colits
I used amp for three months and improved dramatically. The people working for this company care and understand my problem. It is always nice to talk to someone who can relate. When I got off the pills and diet I relapsed. I'm now in the process of starting again. When taking the product is does not hurt to think in a positive matter. Because we all know it is a long process to get back on your feet. If any one is going to try this product at least give it three months. My email address is V3corley@hotmail.com.

Ulcerative Colitis
Bevryche, I read your testimonial and was wondering if you tried anything else since your statement? I am using the Aloe M.P. Plus (less expensive version) and I thought I was starting to feel better, but now I just feel terrible. I have been on this Aloe M.P. Plus now for about 1 1/2 months. I never received any special diet info, do you think this is real important? Have you tried the wellbutrin? Your reply would be appreciated. Thanks
Ulcerative colitis
I heard that DHEA hormone supplements are quite
helpful in UC cases, as people with UC
generally have abnormally low DHEA blood levels.
Better to have a blood test first to determine the
right amount of DHEA to take. In another but related
matter best to get rid of those mercury/silver
amalgam dental fillings and replace with white
composites or porcelain if possible.

A.M.P.
All of you who say the AMP tablets are so expensive: as an unsuccessful Remicade patient, let me say that the AMP tablets are NOT expensive. I had 9 treatments with Remicade at over $6,000.00 per treatment. My insurance paid about $4,000.00, still leaving quite a bill with my GI doctor. I have been taking AMP for only 2 weeks, but I'm feeling better, I'm not having to nap every day. My joint pain is much improved and I've been able to taper rather quickly on my steroid. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I definitely feel better!! I was sick 2 weeks ago and 30 mg. of Prednisone didn't even touch my horrible joint pain. Today I went for a 45 minute walk! Impossible only a short time ago.
AMP
Kandieo--I thought Remicade is specifically indicated for
Crohn's Disease, and not UC ? The 2 diseases
,though similar, and require some common medication,
have their differences. The funny thing about AMP
is that it works okay the first time but
falters significantly on subsequent use. Why this is
is anyone's guess ?
