Hi when I was first diagnosed I saw dr katz at brighmans and womens he excellent better then the doctors down the cape.Im about ready to go see him again sherri
,
I love my GP! She's a bit north of Boston, though, in Saugus, MA. Is that too far for you? Her name is Vidya Raju and she's on Route 1 (Broadway) in Saugus. She's the one who diagnosed me almost immediately after she met me. She's tried many different pain meds and has also been supportive in my seeing specialists and doing things other than taking meds. I can't say enough about how much I like her. Five starts out of five!
Dr's are great, but sometimes support groups and natural products help us in the long term. Anyone interested in information on Power Strips, let me know. I have used them now for 3 months and they are changing my life. If you have any suggestions for fibro, please share, I'm always will to try new things. HUGS

What is Saponin, the Red Ginseng (Korean) component?
Saponin derives from a Greek word Sapona, meaning soap. There are many plants around us that
contain saponin. Beans, green onion, deodeok, bellflower root, water parsley, mung bean, garlic,
onion, ginkgo nut, arrowroot, leek, and many other plants contain a small amount of saponin, but
saponin in red ginseng is strictly different from these.
The red ginseng saponin has mild medicinal characteristics with no toxins, and is completely different
from saponin found in other plants in its chemical makeup. Red ginseng is known to be the most
bioactive, superior ginseng in the plant Kingdom. In nature, red ginseng saponins appear to act as
antibiotics that protect plants from microbes. In humans, they might fight cancer and infection.
Saponins produce an active compound called ginsenosides whose key medical benefits reach out to
the central nerve system, endocrine system, immune system, metabolism, etc. and have various effect
on the body’s conditioning function. Simply put, it would be easier to understand to say that saponin
enters the body and cleans the vessels and various organs as if it were cleaned with soap.
Ginseng contains 24 types of saponin, while red ginseng contains 32 types. Thanks to the continued
research efforts of renowned scientists around the world, its chemical structure, as well as its medical
vitality are being uncovered.
Benefits of saponin:
- Breaks down fat well, accelerates nutrient absorption and digestion;
- Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer effects;
- Helps erectile dysfunction;
- Revitalizes enzymes within cells and improves metabolism;
- Increases energy, invigorates, aids fatigue recovery, improves lethargy and lack of appetite;
- Improves serum protein synthesis;
What is Saponin?
- Stimulates activity of the enzyme involved in the process of bone building and repair, and increase
calcium deposition by bone marrow stem cells;
- Improves arterial flexibility significantly and decreases blood pressure;
- Improves depression by increasing levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine and
noradrenaline.
According to recent studies, such benefits of red ginseng intake are a result of red ginseng saponin,
and non-saponin components working together.
However, it has been revealed that much of the broad
physiologically vitalizing effects of red ginseng are
centered around saponin.
Several studies have found evidence to support the
belief that saponins have potent anti-carcinogenic
properties. It is thought that saponins protect against
cancers via a range of different mechanisms,
including an overall antioxidant effect, direct and
select cytotoxicity of cancer cells, immunemodulation,
and regulation of cell proliferation.
Why Not take Ginseng Orally?
Recent scientific studies have made it clear that saponins are partially destroyed in the digestive tract,
making a topical transdermal application ideal.
