Reports from Neem Users (excerpt from Neem booklet)

We rescued a young Rottweiler with congenital joint pain. We had one shoulder treated surgically, and when the other shoulder started causing extreme pain, an orthopedic vet told us there wasn’t anything more he could do to help. We’d just read Solving Global Problems and decided to give neem a try. We saw a visible difference in his gait just days after we started putting a weak neem tea on his food.”

I have had a painful joint condition for many years, with pain that migrates from one set of joints to another. After repeated falls on concrete floors, my left knee swelled and made walking difficult. I limped and dragged that leg for a couple of years. When Vioxx® was taken off the market, things got much worse.

Last February, I heard about neem tea at an herb festival at the county extension facility. I started drinking it and slowly but steadily the pains decreased. The swelling in my knee went down and I felt good enough to go for physical therapy. I can now walk normally. I’m so much better I consider it a miracle. I’d much rather drink a cup of tea each day than cope with that terrible pain again.

Several decades ago I severely damaged my left foot in a skiing accident that crushed my navicular bone, which wasn’t accurately diagnosed until I had mistreated it for some time and greatly exacerbated the consequences. I developed severe degenerative arthritis with ankle joint deterioration and large bony growths. I was eventually in continual pain when walking, which became bearable with Vioxx® much of the time, and was still intolerable some of the time. And “bearable” meant that I could walk, but with a limp and discomfort. I began taking supercritical neem in late June 2004, then stopped taking Vioxx® in early August after realizing that I was no longer in any pain. And I discovered that I no longer needed Vioxx®. I’ve been pain-free ever since! Truly a miracle, after all those years. (And coincidentally, Vioxx® was taken off the market that next month.)

This neem also made a dramatic improvement in my arthritic thumb joints. I am no longer limited in how I use them.

My son, in his mid-20s, takes the supercritical neem for his achy knees. He’s played serious soccer since age 5, and his knees have taken a beating. He finds the neem extremely helpful.

Since I started drinking neem tea, my arthritis pain is completely gone. I had not expected side benefits, but my gums also stopped bleeding when I brush my teeth, and I started to sleep well. I tell everyone at my church now about neem. So far I’ve only found one person who neem didn’t help. I’ve also given the capsules to my mom, who would normally be chair-ridden from the heat and humidity that we’ve been having, and now gets up to do several things per day.

I recently began using neem leaf extract every day (15 drops, 3 times a day). My arthritic pain slowly became less after one week’s use. Now, not quite a month later, I can honestly say I do not have any pain in my elbow, which is where it was the worst. I was having constant pain (that 6 Tylenol® with codeine made only bearable) and my doctor was talking about giving me a cortisone shot. I am so VERY HAPPY to have discovered neem. It changed my life more than you could ever know.

One of the uses of neem is a treatment for the pain involved in fibromyalgia. I have given neem to a lady in her 70s who suffers from fibromyalgia. Her symptoms have dramatically improved. She can wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and have normal bodily function throughout the day, something she could not do for some years. Since there is no cure for fibromyalgia, any supplement that can improve the condition would be most welcome. Neem seems to have an important role, if not a cure, for this condition.

We originally starting buying neem because we were told it helps with migraines. Clifton takes 8 neem pills a day. He uses both the bark and leaf, alternating bottles, and there has been a significant decrease in his headaches. He swears by this product because over the years, nothing else has worked.
