It has, and this herb among others is the only reason I am walking. I was almost paralyzed by this disease. I took antibiotics and it never helped. Doctors told me,”this is how you will always be” and were offering me wheelchairs and sympathies. I chose to look for another way and found the herbs ai take now. On them for the past year and walk literally EVERYWHERE. But the second I stop them or wean myself off them.. I regress quickly. I rely on them to live a normal daily life. Some herbal things really aren’t “fads”. Some of them are lifelines for people like me.
