De invalshoek die we de laatste jaren ontwikkeld hebben, 'iedereen heeft recht op pijnstilling zonder bijwerkingen' krijgt ook in het buitenland steeds meer resonantie. De voorzitter van Stichting IOCOB was gast op een anderhalfuur durend interview over de behandeling van bekkenpijnen. De 'show' heet The Pelvic Messenger en werd door vele duizenden patienten beluisterd. Het interview is te horen op de link hieronder.
The Pelvic Messenger
The show "The Pelvic Messenger" has been created as a live talk podcast which stems from the website PelvicMessenger. I, Jessica Mariotti Tomsic, have suffered from severe Chronic Neuropathic Pelvic Pain and multiple other co-morbidities.
My colleague, Elisabeth Oas, created this arena in which others can come and find resources, information and hope. It is our mission to help educate the patient on how to best get a complete diagnosis, more effective treatment, and eventually have a better quality of life. Please refer to www.elisabethoas.com/pelvicfreedom for more info. You may also visit my blog at: http://fighting-pne.blogspot.com for my personal story.
The guest is Prof. dr. Jan M. Keppel Hesselink, MD, MS, PhD, of the Institute for Neuropathic Pain in The Netherlands.
He will be discussing his strong interest in chronic pelvic pain and treatment modalities. I can assure my listeners they will always find something positive to inspire hope from this show. Knowing they are not alone and their is always a way in which to see better results, by addressing their own personal formula of success!!

Magnesium stearate is widely used as an excipient in supplements, dietfood for medical purposes and drugs, because machines compressing tablets run more smooth if magnesium starate is added to tablets. Basically this thus has nothing to do with our body but all with the industriel proces of making tablets. We will give an example of two supplements, and bring arguments why one should chose the supplement devoid of magnesium stearate.
Magnesium stearate is the base of the Normast tablets, and many people have asked in the past why does Normast which contains the natural and body-own protective fatty compound palmitoylethanolamide, also contains such an unatural fat as magnesium stearate?
In the table both supplements are compared. Normast contains magnesium stearate and a number of other excipients which have no use of the organism, but are only put in based for pharmaceutical and technical reasons for instance, to be able to press tablets more quickly. Therefore the purity of palmitoylethanolamide in each tablet or capsule is 30% lower in Normast compared to PeaPure, which does not contain any excipients. But now the science why magnesium stearate is not such a good idea in foodsupplements.

Normast ist seit November 2012 in den Niederlanden nicht mehr verfügbar. Normast in den Niederlanden wird durch PeaPure ersetzt.
Die Wirkung von Palmitoylethanolamid entfaltet sich durch natürliche Mechanismen des Körpers. Nach der Einnahme kommt es zu zahlreichen biologischen Prozessen in den Zellen. Dadurch kann es einige Wochen dauern, bevor die Wirkung spürbar ist.
PeaPure ist nach neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen entwickelt.
PeaPure enthält Palmitoylethanolamid, wie Normast. PeaPure wurde aber keinerlei chemischer Hilfsstoff, Geschmacksstoff, Farbstoff oder Süßstoff zugefügt.
Dem Inhalt Normast sachets enthalt Sorbitol.
Es gibt Nutzer, die diesen Süßstoff nicht einnehmen möchten.
PeaPure-Kapseln enthalten kein Sorbitol, einzig und allein Palmitoylethanolamid.
PeaPure nimmt man am besten während oder nach der Mahlzeit ein.
Es hat sich erwiesen, dass 3 Mal täglich 1 Kapsel à 400 mg eine gute Anfangsdosierung während der ersten 2 Monate ist.
Anwender van PeaPure spüren im Allgemeinen eine Verbesserung in den ersten Wochen der Einnahme.
Erst nach zwei Monaten lässt sich die Wirkung von PeaPure wirklich beurteilen.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an anti-inflammatory body own molecule and might be able to fight off part of the neuro-inflammation in ALS.
Simonetta Clemente (MD) from the Macomer Rehabilitation Center, Nuoro Health Care Center, Italy published an important mile stone paper in 2012, title: 'Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment with Ultramicronized
Palmitoylethanolamide: A Case Report'.
In this paper she descibes the positive effect of the natural and body-own compound palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) in ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a devasting neurological disorder also known as Lou Gehrig's disease in the USA.
In her article she points out that PEA has potent anti-inflammatory activity in many acute and
inflammatory and chronic pain models, that PEA reduces spinal cord trauma
in mice, and has neuroprotective properties.
She refers to the recent findings from professor's Cruccu's group, that PEA has seen to
improve myelinated-fibre function in patients with
chemotherapy-induced painful neuropathy and to other recent publications were PEA was seen to reduce pain severity in patients with pain associated to
different pathological conditions who were undergoing
standard therapies with unsatisfactory results or in those
patients who discontinued standard therapy because of
important side effects.
Given the lack of an effective
therapy for ALS, as she correctly stated, she explored and reported the effects of PEA in a
case of ALS.

It happens often that what patients perceive as most effective treatments, usually doctors see as less important, and what doctors see as most important, based on our evidence based medicine, patients see as undesirable and less effective! Oeps! This is not just a blurp from a doctor of alternative medicine. These are data from a survey among hundreds of spinal cord injury patients, conducted by experts from a world famous institute, the Dutch Rudolf Magnus Institute of Neuroscience and Centre of Excellence for Rehabilitation Medicine, from the University Medical Centre in Utrecht.

Back pain is common in both dogs and humans, and a new treatment without side effects based on the all natural painkiller palmitoylethanolamide (PeaPure or Normast) is now available. PeaPure is available via a webshop in Europe and produced in the Netherlands according to GMP; Normast is available in Spain and Italy, and available in pharmacies. PeaPure is probably the best alternative for dogs, due to the absence of chemical fillers.
Back pain is often associated with intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration.
Dr. Bergknut, N. wrote a PhD thesis on this topic, publihed in Acta Universitatis Agriculturae Sueciae, Volume: 2010, Issue: 91 (2011), from which we quote parts of the summary.

Horses often suffer from chronic pain states related to running, jumping or other movement- related disorders. Mostly either vetenarian analgesics or supplements are administered. The vetenarian analgesics have a clear drawback, namely various side effects, and most of the supplements are not scientifically well established as effective treatments.
Especially the use of corticosteroids and analgesics give rise to side effcts in horses wich can compromise their functions and quality of life.
The body own analgesic and anti inflammatory agent palmitoylethanolamide can be succesfully applied to horses and horses suffering chronic pain and/ or inflammation. Many studies in various animals have proven the efficacy and safety of palmitoylethanolamide. The compound also has relevant efficacy in horses, as we will demonstrate in the following cases.

In nature animals have always been threatened by inflammation and pain. Inflammation and pain often go hand in hand. Often pain and inflammation are natural strategies of animals to survive: pain indicates and acts as an emergency signal, and inflammation kills bacteria and viruses.
However, there are types of pain and inflammation who are no good for survival. In man we know these states as auto-immune disorders, diseases such as rheumatoid artritis, inflammatory bowel disorder and the like.
In these cases the body itself attacks the tissues of the body itself, for no obvious reason at all. Inflammation without infection, without bacteria or viruses attacking our body we call aseptical inflammation. Chronic inflammation and pain are the base for a variety of disorders leading to unhappy horses. Some of these are: synovitis (inflammation joint membranes), artritis, tendinitis, colitis, skin hypersensitivity and eczema and many non-bacterial inflammations more.
Inflammation is a natural defence mechanism against tissue injury and usually leads to successful tissue healing. Sometimes, the inflammatory process itself actually causes further injury. In such circumstances it is appropriate to intervene with analgesic (pain-killing) and anti-inflammatory drugs. We will demonstrate the usefulness of a natural painkiller and anti-inflammatory compound, which is regarded as a breakthrough in the treatment of pain and inflammation.

An interesting new therapeutic approach for the rehabilitation and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis hasl been presented in Milan, during the second day of the XII National Congress of SIRN, the Italian Society of Neurological Rehabilitation.
The new hope in the treatment of ALS, neuro-degenerative disease that affects about one in every 100 (mostly men of middle or advanced age), and in 5% of cases are familial, comes from "palmitoylethanolamide" (PEA).
It is an endogenous compound with anti-inflammatory effect cannabinergico, discovered years ago by Italian scientists in the group that included, among others, the Nobel Prize Professor Rita Levi Montalcini.
PEA for ALS: further information
Palmitoylethanolamide is available in the Netherlands as a food supplement, up to November 2012 as Normast and from November 2012 onwards as a new supplement, under the brandname PeaPure.
There are some important differences between Normast and PeaPure , but both supplements contain the body own anti-inflammatory compound palmitoylethanolamide.
In PeaPure you find in one package 30 capsules of 400 mg pure palmitoylethanolamide, without any other pharmaceutical substance, nor sweeteners.
In Normast you find in one package either 20 sachets containing 600 mg palmitoylethanolamide with ca 300 mg sorbitol (a sweetener) or a package with 20 tablets containing palmitoylethanolamide and magnesium stearate and other farmaceutical fillers.
The capsules of PeaPure are specially designed to be used either for obtaining filely powdered palmitoylethanolamide, to administer under the tongue (the capsule has been developed so that opening is easy and one can sprinkel the powder or directly in the mouth, or on a spoon and then under the tongue). The company developed PeaPure without any sweetener, because patients gave the input that the sweetener induced sometimes diarree. Or the sweetener, most of the time, induced so much slime/saliva in the mouth, that it was difficult not to swallow.
Russell Science Ltd therefore developed this content of the capsule, the pure palmitoylethanolamide itself, with a neutral taste by not adding sorbitol, to not attrack saliva and avoid the side effect of diarree.
How to take PEA in the ALS?
The best is to start with either Normast in 2 times 600 mg sachets or with 3 capsules of PeaPure 400 mg and sprinkel the powder in the mouth. After the second day double the dose, and use 3 times 2 capsules. After 10 days, if it is convenient, one can swallow a capsule three times a day and use also the pwder from 3 capsules three times a day under the tongue.
If started with Normast powder, add Normast 600 mg tablets after a week, to increase the dose, or even double the dose.

La cystite est un mot difficile pour une infection de la vessie. La
cystite interstitielle est plus compliquée. Il s'agit d'une inflammation
chronique de la vessie, où les bactéries ne jouent aucun rôle. On estime que
plusieurs milliers de personnes dans notre pays souffrent de cette méchante maladie
de la vessie, et la plupart d'entre eux sont des femmes. Avant de parler de la
cystite interstitielle, le médecin traitant, un urologue ou un gynécologue doit
être consulté afin d'exclure l'existence d'une infection ou un cancer. Ce sont
les deux conditions qui causent le plus de problèmes et de douleurs en urinant.
Parce que «la cystite
interstitielle » est un terme difficile, nous utilisons plutôt le terme «syndrome
douloureux de la vessie ». Ce terme recouvre exactement la charge: c’est
douloureux, liés à la vessie et aucune maladie évidente mais un syndrome!

There is a new painkiller available in Germany and other European countries, based on a body own and all
natural compound which proved to be effective and without any troublesome
side effects, professor Jan M. Keppel Hesselink, pointed out at an
important medical congres in Italy on November 24-26, 2011. Leading international pain experts, such as the German professor Ralph Baron also spoke at that congres.
Keppel hesselink, holding a chair in molecular pharmacologist at the
University of Witten/Herdecke in Germany, presented a major breakthrough in chronic
pain treatment during the anual neurological congress for Italian
anesthesiologists and painspecialists (SAARTI). While nearly all painkillers available
inhibit pain via the nerve cells, Keppel Hesselink pointed out that a
totally different and natural approach via the modulation of the so called glia cells
has been overseen. The compound is available as the foodsupplement PeaPure and as Normast .

Viele MS Patienten haben Schmerzen, Spasmen oder auch schmerzhafte Spasmen und würden gerne Cannabis zur Linderung gebrauchen. Allerdings lassen die Auswirkungen auf die Psyche und die aufwändigen Einnahmemöglichkeiten in Form von einem Joint oder Tee, die Patienten von diesem Gebrauch zurückschrecken. Doch jetzt wurde dank einer italienischen Nobelpreisträgerin ein körpereigener cannabisartiger Stoff entwickelt, ein sogenanntes Endocannabinoid. Dieses Mittel hat zum einen eine schmerzlindernde und zum anderen eine entzündungshemmende Wirkung, ohne dass dabei Auswirkungen auf die Psyche zu verzeichnen sind. Man wird hiervon nicht high, es wird einem nicht schwindelig und es tritt auch kein Zustand der Verwirrung auf. Es ist palmitoylethanolamid (Normast, PeaPure).

Die Lyme Borreliose ist eine schwächende Erkrankung, die sich als chronischer Schmerz zeigen kann. Alle Gesundheitseinrichtungen müssen sich dem klinischen Wesen bewusst sein und müssen diese Infektionserkrankung in verschiedenen Diagnosen berücksichtigen.
Lyme Borreliose ist eine immer mehr verbreitete Infektionskrankheit. 90% aller vector-borne Erkankungen in den Vereinigten Staaten. Von nahezu 100,000 Fälle ist seit 1980 berichtet worden. Dies stellt eine 26fache Steigerung in der Periode von 1982 bis 1996 dar. Während 70% der Fälle im Nordosten auftreten, wird die LB aber auch im Norden und an der Pazifikküste gefunden.
Es muss angenommen werden, dass Kinder und Erwachsene während ihrer Aktivitäten in der Schule, am Arbeitsplatz und in der Freizeit einem Infektionsrisiko ausgesetzt sind. Durch die vielfältigen und bequemen Reisemöglichkeiten erscheint die Lyme Borreliose heute auch in Regionen, in denen sie nicht ursprünglich auftrat.
Es ist sehr wichtig, dass die Gesundheitseinrichtungen mir den ersten Anzeichen und Symptomen dieser Infektionserkrankung vertraut sind.Symptome, die mit der Lyme Borreliose in Verbindung gebracht werden, beinhalten Kopfschmerzen und chronische Schmerzen, die in der Gestalt verschiedener Pathologie und Störungen auftreten können. Patienten mit undeutlichen Beschwerden, nicht spezifischen Allgemeine, Gesichts- und Kopfschmerzen, mit einer Krankengeschichte, die verschiedene Systeme und Behandlungen umfasst, sind auf jeden Fall verdächtig.

Pudendal neuralgia is the most common and most disabling form of pelvic pain. It presents as unilateral or bilateral burning pain of the anterior or posterior perineum that is worse on sitting and relieved by standing, not usually associated with night pain. This pain is a cause of chronic, disabling, and often intractable perineal pain. Treating this pain is very difficult. Palmitoylethanolamide (Normast, PeaPure) is an innovation in this field.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA): more than 300 entries in pubmed for this interesting molecule.
At the Third International Congress on Neuropathic Pain, Athens, Greece, May 27 – 30, 2010 A. Biasiotta, S. et al presented a poster which demonstrated a clinical relevant and positive electrophysiological measurable effects from this rather unknown natural compound is internationally available as PeaPure, a dietsupplement.
It demonstrated to be a good analgesic drug in a variety of painstates, with no troublesome side effects, neither drug-drug interactions. PeaPure contains only pure PEA, without chemical excipients/fllers.
This is very interesting for us, as PEA is an endogenious fatty acid and with properties comparable to anandaminde, as well as other endogenious cannabinoiuds. Lipids like N-palmitoylethanolamine can act as signaling molecules, activating intracellular and membrane-associated receptors to regulate physiological functions. The signaling lipid PEA is known to activate intracellular, nuclear and membrane-associated receptors and regulate many physiological functions related to the inflammatory cascade, and thus is of high interest in the treatment of neuropathic, or gliopathic pain.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most common compression neuropathy. It is the reason for pain and functional impairment. On the picture we see in yellow the median nerve, being compressed under a ligament in the wrist. This gives rise to chronic pain. Pain normally can be reduced with oral neuropathic analgesics. However, the side effects of most of the NSAIDS limit its use. It is available in its purest form as PeaPure , without chemical excipients.
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) , a fatty acid occuring naturally in our body, has also neuropathic pain reducing properties. Furthermore, it stabilizes mast cells, present in the carpal tunnel. Besides the pain reducing effect, PEA has also neuroprotective properties. To evaluate the clinical effects of PEA in CTS, Italian researchers randomised 28 diabetic patients with CTS, in two groups: one group received PEA twice daily 600mg and the other group received placebo.
PEA has been administered in clinical trials in around 2800 patients suffering from pain, and another 2000 suffering from the flu.

Meditation is Good for You! That has become clear based upon many different studies. In 2008 there was an abundance of research into the value of meditation for medicine. Studies by modern imaging techniques such as MRI have shown that meditation a deep and lasting effect on us and our nervous system. There are nearly 800 publications from 2008 to about meditation in the largest medical database that we have, Pubmed. That is not nothing. More and more areas of medicine, the value of meditation for patients discovered and rediscovered. And doctors and other health workers are discovering the value of meditation as a stress-reducing technique in their turbulent medical work. |

  This is the initiation of an important Forum on the value of Mucuna Pruriens's for patients with Parkinon's disease. Patients are invited to share their experiences at the bottom of this article thus share it with other users. Mucuna Pruriens is a plant whose components are part of at least 200 different ayurvedic preparations. In India, Mucuna Pruriens known as Kapikachhu. All parts of the plant are known for medicinal uses. There is a variety of familiar applications, ranging from potency increase, improvement of fertility in men, antidote for snake bites and, last but not least for Parkinson's disease. The plant is also known by the names Pica Pica, Kapikachu, Yerepe, Yoruba, Atmagupta, Common Cowitch, Velvet bean, Velvet bean and Cowhage. Especially for patients with Parkinson's disease is very interesting this preparation. Mucuna pruriens preparations are already hundreds of years used in traditional ayurvedic medicine. The preparation has an obvious effect on various systems for transmission of nerve impulses (neurotransmitter systems), including the dopamine system. In 2004, the first major treatment results of a placebo-controlled clinical study published.The study was reporting the effects of 15 and 30 grams of a preparation of these seeds in patients with Parkinson's disease. The results were encouraging. We share with you our knowledge on this treatment, its efficacy and its safety. |

Vedic astrology is the base of the ayurvedic medical astrology or Jyotish. One of the founding fathers of the vedic astrology was the Maharaja Jai Singh. He became intensely interested in astronomy during a tense debate in 1719 at the court of Mughal emperor Mohammed Shah. At issue was a trip on which the Emperor was planning to embark. Court astrologers could not agree on the best date. The debate encouraged Jai Singh to set astrological education as a priority in his kingdom. To that end, he constructed a series of observatories, starting with Delhi (in 1724), followed by Varanasi, Ujjain, Mathura and lastly Jaipur. |

In the traditional Bhutanese medicine the golden needle therapy is very popular. The golden needle is a nail like golden thick needle, used to treat many disorders. Many patients actively ask the traditional healer to be treated with the golden needle. The golden needle therapy is seen by many Bhutanese patients as something quite special. IOCOB visited in 2008 a traditional healer to inquire about this method. We thougt the method might be related to Chinese medicine, were golden needles are used also. But it appeared to be quite different. Golden neelde therapy is cauterization: the golden needle is heated and on certain points, unrelated to acupuncture points, the heated needle is applied. Not piercing through the skin, but only touching the skin. This it is not acupuncture, but cauterization. The therapy is a 2nd line therapy, if herbal remedies are not sufficient. |

| LSD and medicine: first steps | | At the end of 2007 a researcher from Switzerland, doctor Peter Gasser, was granted permission to deploy LSD as therapy. The title of his research: LSD assisted psychotherapy in persons suffering from anxiety associated with advanced-stage life threatening diseases. This is the first time since 1972 that there has been renewed scientific attention for the medical aspects of LSD. In the USA in 2008 Harvard University launched a project for patients with severe form of headache, cluster headache, using psilocybin (from the magic mushroom) or LSD. At the end of this article we provide an overview of all the LSD research in the world. Albert Hofmann discovered LSD in 1943 and the first decades of research was in the hands of scientists and doctors. LSD helped to develop a new vision on our consciousness and on illnesses such as schizophrenia. This documentary shows how LSD before the western world criminalised it. LSD proved to have a large impact on the personal lives of those who intakes. This documentary in 2008 put on utube is a unique document. Geniouses from the past, such as Aldeous Huxley, took LSD on their deathbed, and Dr Hofmann, the discoverer of LSD, took the last time this substance on the age of 97! (He was 102). | |

A Geranium species, Pelargonium (Pelargonium sidoides) is used in South Africa as a natural antibiotic. Its name is ‘Umckaloabo’, and it has been used for centuries by the Zulu, Basuto, Xhosa and Mfenfi tribes. It seems to be especially valued for its action on upper respiratory tract infections, coughs and ear, nose and throat infections as well for its ability to support rapid recovery from bronchitis, colds and flu. In 1897 Charles Stevens, an Englishman, was treated with this geranium to cure him from tuberculosis. Fully recovered, he took this remedy to Europe and the herb gained in popularity since than. To date an impressive number of studies of Geraniumroot extract (Pelargonium sidoides) have been published so far. One, from Bulgaria, tested Geranium extract in the laboratory and documented its anti-viral activity. Another study, from Germany, published in the Journal of Family Practice in March 2004, found that Geranium reduced the severity as well as the duration of acute bronchitis. That study compared Geranium against placebo The evaluation was done in 476 men and women. The symptoms of bronchitis were evaluated on a scale used to measure the severity of that disease. After seven days of treatment, the patients who received the extract had better scores on the rating scale than did the patients who took the placebo. The efficacy and safety of the Geranium Pelergonium is sufficiently documented. One of the remaining questions is, would it be of use against the flu? |

The work of Dr Popp is hghly innovatove, but sadly enough, it has also be the base of the so called biophoton therapy. The Starlight is a machine, brought to the market, to treat a variety of diseases with biophotons, such as malaria, Lyme, multple sclerosis, schizophrenia, depression etc. Our foundation is very concerned about these unproven claims, and asked Dr Popp for his appraisal. In the following clipp you find our analysis of biophoton therapy. |
