Frequently (and not so frequently) Asked Questions
BRIEF: Could chimphilla pills have caused muscle and nerve pains?
QUESTION:
Last Thanksgiving I took 6 homopathic under the tongue chimaphilla pills for 6
days. I since found it to be holly and systemic. I have had muscle, nerve and
related pains ever since. Noone seems to be able to address the cure for getting
this out of my system. It seems to be getting worse and I want to find someone
who can help.
ANSWER:
What exactly was in those pills? So called "homeopathic" and health food items,
and "nutritional supplements" often have neurologically active substances in them
to give a kick that the customer will associate with a particular product so they
buy more. For example, (rarely needed, if ever) are sometimes
loaded with caffeine and ephedra so the customer feels "extra energy" which they
then associate with that brand of chromium supplement. Lord knows what was in the
stuff you took.
And it is possible you suffer from whatever you took the pills to cure rather than
the pills.
