Hello,

Has anyone had any experience with Padma 28 (also known as Padma Circosan)?

My oncologist gave it for me to try for my CIPN. I must take it slowly over a long period of time.

The University of Zurich Hospital and another Zurich Hospital is about to begin a trial of this. Apparently it has had some success with Diabetic Neuropathy.

Basically it is a Tibetan herb formula researched and repackaged by a Swiss Pharmaceutical company. The Tibetan community in Switzerland is the largest outside India and Tibet and Switzerland is one of the capitals of the world for Pharmaceuticals.

Normally I would be very skeptical but I happened to have traveled and spent a good amount of time with Tibetans and they do know a lot about circulation and have 2000 year old methods / formulas which the west is starting to study. So I feel some level of trust for the Tibetan knowledge in Switzerland.

The Swiss packaged Tibetan herb formula has been on the market since the 70s, is well tolerated and apparently is believe to not cause harm in trying.

The philosophy of the formula completely turns Western thinking upside down. It is not a quick fix or direct hit or even a magic bullet. It apparently helps the whole circulatory system function better to heal itself.

I don't expect it to do any miracles, perhaps it will give a nudge.

My only concern is I don't want it to interact with other standard things I am doing. Also, as a cancer survivor, I don't want to try anything that is found out later to fuel cancer growth.

Any thoughts?
