Sarracenia Purpurea Purple Pitcher Extract

I bought this because I suffer from shingles. As I was doing a ton of research on shingles, the purple pitcher plant, beside two others, has MicroRNAs. Per NIH website: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in regulating shingles (Herpes Zoster) by modulating the replication, latency, and reactivation of the Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV). Both human (host) miRNAs and VZV-encoded small noncoding RNAs interact to influence the severity of the infection and the accompanying painful nerve inflammation. I have been using this for about three weeks now; the outbreak I had was so different that I couldn't help but notice. The blisters were almost nonexistent; I used a CBD ointment for the itch that went away quickly. I had two more outbreaks, and each seemed different. The last one I had, I didn't even get a blister, but I knew I had shingles because I felt a slight itch, and what would have been a blister was a bump on the nerve that went away within 3 days. It turns out that miRNAs function by binding to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) to stop them from making proteins or to cause their breakdown. Because the dosing for the purple pitcher plant is 20 drops three times per day, at first I cut it to 10 so my body could get used to it; I just eyeball the amount on the dropper. I have started taking more and believe I am taking 20 drops now. My hope is that purple pitcher plant extract will tremendously help with the shingles.

I’m glad I took the risk to try this. I’m ordering my second bottle now..

All good!
