I read with great interest the article about using Clerdendrum Inerme extract to stop tics, my question is where to find it? I'm not having any luck on the internet... any help would be appreciated. http://latitudes.org/plant-leaf-extract-stops-chronic-tics-premium/

Interesting....... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?D...Search=19617461 Intractable chronic motor tics dramatically respond to Clerodendrum inerme (L) Gaertn.

Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Faculty of Science, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar-608 002, Tamil Nadu, India. The present study has investigated the chemopreventive and antilipidperoxidative effects of the ethanolic extract of Clerodendron inerme leaves (CiELet) in DMBA induced skin carcinogenesis in Swiss albino mice. The skin squamous cell carcinoma was induced in the shaved back of mice, by painting with DMBA (25 microg 0.1 mL(-1) acetone) twice weekly for 8 weeks. We have observed 100% tumor formation in the fifteenth week of experimental period. Elevated lipid peroxidation and decline in enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants status was observed in tumor bearing mice. Oral administration of CiELet (300 mg kg(-1) bw) for 25 weeks significantly prevented the tumor incidence, volume and burden of the tumor. The CiELet also showed potent antilipidperoxidative effect as well as enhanced the antioxidant defense mechanisms in DMBA painted mice. The present study thus demonstrated the chemopreventive and antilipidperoxidative efficacy of CiELet in DMBA induced mouse skin carcinogenesis. http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:4FfIOn...=clnk&gl=us Effect of Clerodendron inerme on ErythrocyteMembrane Integrity During 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthraceneInduced Skin Carcinogenesis in Swiss Albino Mice http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~c...ll~jumptype=rss Abstract In order to evaluate the potential of medicinal plants of Tamil Nadu as sources of antiviral activities, we used seven different viruses to evaluate the methanol extracts of 30 plants, derived from 22 families and recognized for their local medical applications. Antiviral activity was the minimum concentration of extracts required to completely inhibit viral cytopathic effects (CPE), i.e., MIC100 values. Many extracts showed strong activities against Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and mouse corona virus (MCV, the surrogate for human SARS virus). Some extracts were also active against influenza virus and Sindbis virus (SINV, surrogate for hepatitis C virus), but fewer were active against the non-membrane viruses feline calicivirus (FCV, the surrogate for Norovirus), rhinovirus (common cold virus), and poliovirus. The most potent extracts (low MIC100 and broad spectrum of activity) were obtained from Gymnema sylvestre R. Br. (Asclepiadaceae), Pergularia daemia (Forsskal) Chiov.

Hi all I’m making the assumption that Clerodendrum inerme is ok to take if you are salicylate sensitive ?? Have tried to find any relevant information online but am struggling to get an answer. Hoping someone on here can help me 🤞🏼

Hi joe_doc If you do a search on the forum you get assorted posts on Clerodendrum inerme, including more on where to find it https://latitudes.org/forums/search/?q=Clerodendrum

Hi Juwayriya, I am a 40 year old male suffering with Facial tics from my teenage years. Recently they have become progressively worst. I have tried conventional medication and the side effects are worst than living with facial tics. I am also from South Africa and would really like to know where I can get some Clerodendrum thank you

Is this it? https://www.homeopathicremediesonline.com/product/clerodendrum-inerme/

Hi there, please join the Facebook group Natural Care for Tics and Tourettes for information on where to purchase either Clerodendrum inerme plants or the homeopathic remedy Clerodendrum inerme. Thanks to information gathered from this site A.C.N. we have made great progress in finding lots more about this plant. Many of us have tried it as fresh green juice, dehydrated and encapsulated or as the homeopathic remedy. We have found it does ameliorate Tourette's, tic disorders and associated comorbids very considerately.

Hi everyone, Yes, the plant Clerodendrum inerme does work to reduce tics and other comorbids very effectively. We have discovered it doesn't work for everyone but it has helped many. The Facebook group is called Natural Care for Tics and Tourettes. There are lengthy discussions there about this plant which we have nicknamed cleo. It can be taken as a green juice or in capsules after dehydrating and powdering the leaves or as a tincture or as a homeopathic remedy. The only restriction is you will need to source the plant and grow it in a pot or your own backyard. The safety profile of the plant is exemplary. Please also do your own research to satisfy yourselves .... there is a wealth of information about Clerodendrum inerme on the Internet. Kind regards, Joy

Hi moose_man22 Are you in Australia? Do you or your family member have Tourette's? Are you still looking for Clerodendrum inerme? Please reply here and I'll message you.

Hi Juwayriyah, Any idea where you get CLERODENDRUM INERME from? Thanks

Please try CLERODENDRUM INERME

fcefxer Hello Nancy, I am writing to you from Australia. You mentioned in a post from many years ago that you were trying to procure the dried leaves of the plant clerodendrum inerme. My daughter is in New South Wales right now trying to find this rather elusive plant for her son. Can you help us in any way to try to find/ source/ buy this plant or the dried leaves please? Did you ever import it .... or try it? I probably don't have to tell you how much we would love to hear any more information you may be able or willing to share. Kindest regards, Joy

Hi .. Just wanted you to know that Clerodendrum Inerme has been a miracle "cure" for my son. No more food restrictions (dairy etc. is no problem anymore).

Hi Everyone. I just had to sign up to this forum to let you all know that Clerodendrum inerme has dramatically helped my sons tics .It is truly a miracle plant! We live in South Africa and I sent my husband to India in 2012 to source the plant which now grows as a bush in our yard. My sons tics began at age 3 (started with eye blinking, shoulder shrugging, got worse and worse...etc.) After years of research and tears,our prayers to Allah were answered when I came across the study on Clerodendrum Inerme for tics. My son is 10 years old now. And a 'normal' little boy in every way.We dehydrate the leaves, grind them fine and put the powder into capsules . We used to liquidize the leaves with water and strain, but he could not handle the bitterness. Right from the first dose there was a major improvement. In the beginning I would give him the juice twice a week, then once a week , then once a month. He can now tolerate all kinds of foods that were once forbidden. He will have 2-3 capsules every 2-3 months or so when I notice he is stressed about something or has gone overboard on junk food. A day later and he is fine again. I promised that if the plant worked I would share this amazing information and I pray for all the children and parents that you derive benefit from it.

Yes he does treat PANDAS with antivirals. Its neuroimmune science Hes on the internet. One interesting thing is someone recently posted a concern over ivig ( on this forum)and retro viruses and they linked up a study about autism and chronic fatigue syndrome and a virus that is in T and B cells??? Anyway, Dr. Goldberg started his quest years ago because his wife got chronic fatigue syndrome. Anyway I found it very interesting that Goldberg has a thirty percent success rate with antivirals and autism. It actually does seem to correlate with the study where 40 percent of the kids with autism tested had this varient T/B cell virus. (This study is brand new and Goldbergs success rate is years old) In addition the study said that this may explain vaccines exaserbating symptoms because they actually increase the immune response therfore increasing the virus in the immune system. One more strange thing, IVIG seems to not helps tics as much as PEX. At least according to Swedo small study. PEX removes all the immune cells. My daughter recently got the flu and I hestitated to use TAMIFLU however with her PIDD I felt I had no option. TAMIFLU causes anxiety and kids with neuropsych are warned against its side effects. My daughter has had severe constant tics after a horrible attack in May. After I gave her TAMIFLU her tics stopped completely. She does not have autism. Also that indian herb clerodendrum is an antiviral and it stopped chronic tics in a long time sufferer. If you do contact Dr. Goldberg I would be very interested to know if he can test for this new immune cell retro viruses that hides out in B and T cells. Thanks Let I don't remember which city, but I think he's near LA. Dr. Goldberg is famous for treating autism with antiviral meds. He believes that autism is caused by Herpes 6 infection, so he uses long duration Valtrex. Many kids have improved or recovered from this therapy. I think he has labeled it NIDS (don't recall what that stands for, but you can probably google it.) I've never heard of him doing anything with PANDAS, but it's possible. Paula
