Into my 2nd month on Inosine and Sphingolin that I'm taking for Nerve Damage from hip replacement. My right thigh is totally numb and had been burning and tingling for years and since on the above two I can say hardly anymore of the burn/tingle. So have to think these are helping with this damage.

That's pretty cool. I've just started both of those.

I would like to comment on that Sphingolin again....

Here is why I don't like the thought of this supplement:

The Sphingolin seems iffy to me and too risky. The bovine sources are often not identifiable as having Mad Cow. I believe a young cow was recently found with the disease. The Prions are difficult to find, and impossible to kill (instruments used on patients for open head surgeries, are thrown away... because they cannot be sterilized). I myself would never take any bovine or other animal organ derived supplement.

I am not aware of any testing of bovine nervous tissue, for prions. I don't believe they exist. They elude sterilization techniques that are used on surgical instruments, and so those used by neurosurgery are discarded and charged to the patients.
Every once in a while you can see news articles of nvCJD passed to patients by wrongful reuse of instruments. nvCJD is the human name for prion disease.

I'll volunteer to be a guinea pig. If it doesn't do anything I'll let you all know. I have no fear of mad cows.

Good luck to you.

Thank you very much. At this point my life is a crap shoot anyway. I might as well go out as a benefit to scientific enquiry.

Here is another news worthy item about BSE and bovine supplements:

Icelander,

Find footage and first-hand medical reports of vCJD sufferers, then you would not be so flippant. I lived through the UK Outbreak when contaminated beef products entered our food supply. Deterioration and death is like UltraAlzheimer's, and can strike any age. There still may be cases from this first Outbreak yet to present.

Would you really risk this for minimal reward?

Dave.

I know some talk about being "iffy" on Sphingolin but FOR ME this and Inosine taken daily for 3 months got rid of my Burn/Tingling on my nerve damaged thigh.

Even though I don't have the burning anymore thanks to the 2 supps I've taken for 3 months, I think I'll get some more Inosine and see if I can't get some nerve restoration. My whole thigh is still 80% numb but not burning.

BTW: I now have ear buds and listened to the video and no mention of Inosine.

I never knowingly took the abx drugs that cause all the damage, but I don't know what kind of abx drip I was given during hip surgery.

Anyone else have any reports on Inosine and Sphingolin?
