Despite the widespread use of SdG in Amazonia as an analgesic,
antidiarrheal, and wound-healing agent few in the Western world are aware of its existence and little is known about how it achieves these therapeutic bene®ts. We postulated that these bene®ts may result from a suppression of sensory afferent nerve activation and the present results support this conclusion. This hypothesis was generated from experience and the knowledge that sensory afferent nerves serve as broad-based sentinels in the skin, gut, and lung, and that the rapidity by which SdG relieved pain and itching was consistent with a neurogenic mechanism. In addition, the serendipitous personal observation by an author that SdG relieved the symptoms of cutaneous capsaicin (sensations associated with an overly spicy meal) focused our attention to sensory afferent nerve mechanisms. SdG appears to suppress the activation of sensory afferent nerves at a prejunctional level, in addition to inhibiting the tissue responses to CGRP, a primary neurotransmitter of sensory afferent nerves. Supporting the present ®ndings we recently noted that SdG was able to attenuate the epithelial secretory response to capsaicin but not the neurokinin-1 antagonist [...] It is interesting to note that SdG was an effective analgesic and anti-in¯ammatory agent when applied topically, even when the hyperalgesic stimuli were applied by intradermal injection. This suggests that active components have suf®cient lipophilicity to readily cross the skin. From the observations from the pest control workers who noted symptomatic relief in less than 2 min, this transcutaneous absorption appears to be rapid. [...] The dual prejunctional and postjunctional effects of SdG on sensory afferent mechanisms (nerve activation and CGRP receptor) inhibition) are unique and are consistent with both the rapidity and breadth of SdG's bene®ts [...] The goal of this approach is to deplete the sensory afferent nerve terminals of neurotransmitters in order to limit their contribution to both the pain signal and the local tissue responses. This result is achieved, however, by the acute activation of the precise mechanisms that one is trying to block, and is in essence a clumsy approach to therapy. A more speci®c approach, however, has not been available. SdG offers a different approach to managing disorders characterized by excessive or sustained activation of sensory afferent nerves (neurogenic in¯ammation) ± rapid suppression of nerve activation. http://reparagen.net/PDF%2015.pdf “Not only does Sangre de Grado prevent pain sensation, it also blocks the tissue response to a chemical released by nerves that promotes inflammation. There is currently no other substance that we know of that shares these same activities” http://naturalscience.com/ns/news/news27.html ![]() |
