Metelline, Kd Failure, Glomerular Neph.

[Guest guest]

I found a site from TianJin hospital of TCM with pages about

kidney disease. They claim great success with glomerular

nephritis, renal failure, etc.

Their formula, Metelline, is as follows:

 

Ingredients of MetellineTM

 

Major

components of MetellineTM comprise six natural herbs and two animal extracts

that are known for their therapeutic effects on disorders of Kidney,

Lung, Liver and Spleen. These ingredients have been used extensively

in China for internal medicine for thousand of years and proven to be

safe materials. MetellineTM demonstrated excellent efficacy against a variety of

kidney diseases. The proprietary composition of the herbal

ingredients and the formulation process preserve the medicinal

potency of the original herbal plants to restore kidney functions.

 

1. Poria cocos wolf. (Pochymacocos

Fries, India Bread)

2. Cuscuta Epithymum (Dodder

Seed)

3.

Radix Rehmanniae (Rehmannia Glutinosa Libosch.

)

4. Radix Astragali

(Milkvetch Root)

5. Fructus Corni (Asiatic

Cornelian Cherry Fruit)

6.

Spora Lygodii (Lygodium

Japonicnm)

7. Grounded

Tortoise-shell

8.

Saifa Tatarica (Grounded Antelope

Horn)

 

I have a couple patients strongly interested in this

formula. I have all the ingredients except the rare/illegal (?)

Antelope horn, and would like to substitute a combination of Gou Teng

and Bai Shao for the Ling Yang Jiao. Does this sound reasonable

to you?

 

I've been in contact with a Dr. at the hospital via

e-mail. I asked him about dosage, and he, of course, said that

dosage and extraction methods are proprietary, etc. They would

ship a month's supply here for $118 +$36 shipping.

 

I'm planning on grinding the ingredients and making a powder,

with doses about the same as most regular formulas.

 

Any feedback, cautions, or comments would be welcome.
