From Blasi -Can be reposted

[Guest guest]

Guys, I am worried. I started Recup yesterday at 2 packets, and I

feel like a train wreck this morning! Is this normal?

People's initial reaction may vary. Some take to Recup like a duck to

water; some have initial teething problems which go away in a few

weeks; and others seem to be low-dosers, taking one or less sachets a

day - any more than that they can't seem to tolerate.

It's all so varied that I don't believe anyone can tell you what is

happening with you. It's far, far too early for you to be drawing any

conclusions or for anyone to be recommending anything to you.

The general idea is that for most people, 2 sachets a day is

recommended, at least in the beginning. This is what I did, and I had

an initial favourable reaction. That may have been a placebo effect,

because it wore off pretty soon. For me it was complicated by the fact

that I was also taking guai at that time, and there's a suspicion that

for some, guai and Recup don't mix well, although they seem to for

others.

I persisted for a few months with two sachets, but that made me feel

awful so I reduced. Others who have had initial negative reactions

have persisted beyond the first few weeks and seem to have adapted to

the recommended dose.

I don't know whether you joined our group because it was recommended

by another group. If so, you are very welcome here and I hope

you enjoy and benefit from your stay. If not, the same best wishes, of

course! :-)

This is a separate point not directed at you, but perhaps a convenient

place to mention it: I would hope that in other groups they are

impressing on members that Recup is not touted as a miracle cure and

no one should necessarily expect wonderful and speedy results.

It's true that some do make remarkable progress, but it's also true

that for many it's a much longer-term thing and that people should be

realistic and be prepared if necessary to give Recup a fair trial, at

least six months and quite possibly longer; as much as one or two

years, in fact. If people do give it a fair trial, my impression (not

scientific) based on postings here is that most experience some

benefit if they stick with it and find the dose that suits them by

personal experimentation.

There have been a very few who have reported that after a long trial

it has not seemed to benefit them. Whether this is because, like many

treatments, it isn't universally effective, or because some people

don't actually have a condition that Recup can help treat, is unknown.

There are many conditions which give rise to FMS-like symptoms (please

see the FAQs).

One also has to bear in mind that Recup has only been around in the

English-speaking world for a couple of years any way, so there's a

sizeable number who haven't been taking it long enough to be able to

make a reasonable judgement for themselves yet.

There's no saying what effect other treatments people may be taking

will have on the effectiveness of Recup. It's conceivable that

side-effects of those may be masking any positive effects of Recup, or

that there might be interference, for instance.

Of course, if those other treatments are prescribed by a doctor, it

would be extremely inadvisable to give them up without consultation.

But if they are self-prescribed, then there's maybe something to be

said for tying to reduce or eliminate them so that one can focus on

the effect that Recup alone is having. This is why some (not all) give

up guai, even though they may find that a difficult process (again,

see the FAQs).

If anyone here is also a member of another group where Recup is being

recommended, and would like to post this message there, then feel

free; as I am a moderator of the Blasi group, the message might come

across better if someone else acts as messenger!

I've already said very recently that Alfred worries about the polls

being carried out at as they may be leading to

unrealistic expectations. We aren't out to dominate the world and

attract as many members as we can just for the sake of it. We aren't

out to spread the gospel.

I sense that just a few may not be able to understand this. From my

experience, some of these can sometimes be quite hostile because they

think we *are* out to conquer the world and are just a " multi-level

marketing scam " (ill-informed). However, others of this few are

flummoxed because they have made up their minds that Recup is the best

thing since sliced bread (based on no firm evidence that I can see)

and think we should be out on the streets chanting Hare Krishna

(misguided).

I think the vast majority, I am glad to say, come here with an open

mind and a very pragmatic approach, which is the correct stance, in my

opinion. The group has grown to a sizeable one in a relatively short

time, but not because moderators have been proselytising; it simply

appears that Recup has been speaking for itself.

The reality of the Blasi group is that it is an empirical rather than

a theoretical one. We aren't focussed on theories, but simply

supporting and advising people who want to take Recup and see what it

does for them, and we don't care if what they report is negative -

truth is all.

We await the results of serious clinical trials and any theoretical

ideas about its actions that might be put forward as a result. Anyone

who comes here is extremely welcome, but we don't expect or want

conversions on the road to Damascus. Our members are all adults with

minds of their own and entitled to take or not take Recup or to use it

with or without other treatments.

However, we do focus on Recup, not a million and one other treatments;

we have nothing against those or the groups that deal with them, but

our primary purpose is to provide information and support in relation

to Recup. Alfred Blasi owns the group and so we have direct contact

with the discoverer of the salt mix. We also have direct contact with

Dr. Roses of the Recup labs. It's the only English-speaking group that

can say this. If you want information and support for Recup, this is

the obvious place to come and make up your own minds what it is about.

One last point: I get to see the reasons that people want to join our

group before they are approved to do so. We are extremely liberal

about who we allow to join. As a matter of fact, the only people who

have so far been rejected are those who have supplied no reason at

all. We worry that those may be the ones who might cause problems.

Because of this, I know that there are a minority who have Lymes or

who are interested in Lymes in our group. I do not know whether Recup

is or is not effective to any degree with Lymes. If people want to

come here and to try Recup for Lymes, then they too are welcome. We

don't encourage discussion of Lymes itself, as that's off-topic. But

if anyone who has Lymes is taking Recup and wants to report on the

effect it is having for them, well, I can't see any harm in that.

Genuinely, we make no firm claims about Recup at this point. If you

want to try it with an open mind, then we are here to help you with

that; but there can be no guarantees.

Regards,
