ribes nigrum — the natural wonder drug?
I saw the naturopath about a week ago and she offered me adrenal support in the form of ribes nigrum and let me tell you, I feel pretty much like my old (pre dyingness self) after only a tsp a day for the last week. I’m FINALLY alert. My brain feels like it’s actually connecting with my thoughts and body — and that it’s actually working to capacity again!! I feel like I can do more and take on more and not be exhausted.
Now, it has only been a week, but from doing a bit of research online just now, it looks like this is the natural wonderdrug good for everything from curing acne to supporting your immune system, to dealing with inflammation — ALL of the things that I need help with! I can’t believe it. If this keeps up, at this rate, I may feel completely normal again in no time. Well, if no time doesn’t include the 3 years of feeling like death and the over a year of trying to heal myself and not being able to eat anything other than candida-friendly food. Just LOOK at all of the different ailments this concoction is supposed to aid or cure. I even found mention that it is an anti-aging agent, so that’s a bonus (well, except for the part where they don’t know of any long-term ill effects….we’ll just ignore that part).
Have you been on this thing? If so, please let me know how it worked for you and what it cured or aided you with.
Adrenals eh….thats what the naturopath thinks might be my issue….I’m just at the early stages of sending that test to the states thou to see if it is true….I am going back to see the naturopath in a few weeks so i might be starting the support too. Glad to hear that something is finally working for you….hope it lasts and maybe I can finally find something to work for me

Take Care….its great to hear your doing so good and that your even re-introducing some sweets in your life.

Really? That’s interesting that she thinks it could be part of what you need to work on too. Hmmm.. I didn’t have to do a test or send anything to the states…what kind of test? Let me know what kind of thing she puts you on. I’m on the most mild remedy because my body reacts to just about any slight change and she thinks it’s all I could likely handle.
I’m so glad you’re still working on finding a solution. Let me know if you need any help or support.
You take care too!

You got it right. This stuff works amazingly fast on long standing adrenal fatigue/exhaustion.

were you having problems with off-balanceness and spaciness? Has the ribes nigrum helped this as well?

Ribes Nigrum has given me an unbelievable amount of energy!!!!! Before taking this natural remedy I was always exhausted and all I ever wanted to do was sleep. Now when I wake up in the morning and take 50 drops, I feel like a million dollars! Like today for instance, I’ve been up since 6:45am, it’s now 4:30pm and I still haven’t felt like I need a nap, or felt tired at all. I feel so amazing and it’s so wonderful to know that something natural has done so much for me. I hope it helps all of you as well. It’s a miracle!

I have been on RIBES for about a month and the anxiety I have been struggling with since the birth of my son is all but gone! I still have some issues with depression but it is helping with that as well!! I have had more good days than bad which was not the case before I started taking the RIBES!! So yeah, it really has made a difference!

I have been taking Ribis Nigrum for about 6 weeks now for adrenal support and I am pretty much back to my normal self as well. I no longer have the fatigue crashes that I was having up to 3 times per day, I am sleeping better, my eyes are no longer fatigued. This after about 4 years of struggling with fatigue and anxiety. Just prior to starting the Ribis Nigrum, I took Adreset (for 3 months) for adrenal support and that worked really well too but it wasn’t quite enough for me. I just hope that this upswing in my health continues. I’m starting on my second bottle of it. So happy to be feeling better!

Just a question, has anyone had any side effects? Can one take too much?

has anyone here done the cortisol saliva tests before beginning ribes? I was just given some by my Dr as well, he seems to believe it will help. Its this or cortisol, just want to be sure the “stimulation” of the gland wouldn’t be akin to caffeine (making things better for the short term only)? as there doesnt seem to be a whole lot about it on google. thanks!

i was in italy a few weeks back, i awoke wo find my left eye had completely swollen along with the whole left side of my face. The pharmacist recommened ribes negrum, a tsp a day for 3 days and also to dilute and bath my eye…. it worked wonders! I would recommend it to others!

I forgot to mention, I also had motion sickness from being on the canals in Venice, the pharmacist recommended it for this as well.
Having read the previous comments, I am continuing to take it because I am having a particularly difficult time in work, stress and anxiety big time.

Hi,
I’ve been battling chronic fatigue syndrom and adrenal fatigue syndrome for 2.5 years now. I did the cortisol tests by my regular doctor and it turned out to be within the so called “normal” range, yet I am constantly tired, unsteady (like drunk, especially when im tired and need sleep, or wake up to early and still feel half asleep), so i went to see a naturopath and he recommended Ribes, so im considering trying it and was just wondering if anyone had any bad experiences with it, or if it was addicitive, and if it was short-term like caffiene from coffee, or if there were any side effect? Please let me know!
Thanks a bundle!
