I am a person who has had very good results from using Normast. I first heard about it from an American woman whose cousin in Italy was using it for nerve pain caused by spinal cord cysts. Her neurosurgeon recommended it to her and told her the dosage. The American cousin, who has the same genetic condition, follows the advice of the Italian neurosurgeon in using it herself. The cousin in Italy buys it for her at a drugstore and mails it to her in California. She has never had a package stopped by customs.

I decided to order my Normast through the company in the Netherlands because they have an English website that was easy to use. I use it for autoimmune polyneuropathy. After 6 weeks, I saw some improvement and decided to up the dose to the higher dose recommended by my friend's cousin's doctor. I have seen about an 80% reduction in pain.

I consulted with my own doctor before upping my dose. She researched it and said it seemed safe and to go ahead and try it. She even wrote a letter to the FDA when my first package was stopped so they released it to me.

I have had 6 shipments of Normast. Two have been stopped, checked and released. The original problem was the package labeling was not according to US standards. When they changed the labels to American English, the packages came through faster. I don't know if it was because of the package changes or if I was just lucky. But I have never had a package turned back, just delayed while they investigated.

I have now started ordering the new PEAPure. My first package came through with no questions. We will see if that continues, because the PurePEA package labeling is not as good as the Normast.

Frankly, I am mystified by Drew's comments. Normast is not homeopathic. It has been studied and published in reputable journals. I know of one neurosurgeon in Italy who gives it to his patients. My own doctor investigated it and said it was legit. I think Drew must have some other agenda. He tells us not to trust Dr. Jan because we don't know him. But why should we trust Drew? He is just a user name on a forum.

You don't know me either, but I felt that I had to speak up. If you want to know if Normast is legit, read the pubmed article. mrsD posted a link to it a few posts back. It refutes claims that there is no evidence to support Normast's effectiveness.

By the way, I tried nerve medications (Lyrica and such) and could not tolerate them. I was weaning off of them when I started Normast. I am on Normast and a few other vitamins now and nothing else. It has been over a year. I have found that taking Normast twice a day now is sufficient for me.
