Has anyone tried 'Progurt'?

Ron,

Thank you for your comments. I did read the link you provided. I am reasonalbly well versed in candidas over-festations but that is not my son's problem. Excess medication is, however, and restoring a healthy gut culture and liver function is necessary - thus some form of probiotic is probably certainly called for. The million dollar question of course is Progurt anything different or special to make it worth the price? I will certainly let you know how things are in a month or two.

Regards,

SAM

Regarding Progurt...I am ordering it today for my husband Stefan. He was 'diagnosed' with MS 3 years ago and was told he be in a wheelchair in 6 months. That didn't happen. We found a natural product that has given him back 95% of his balance, coordination, energy, etc but he still wants to run... he used to be a crazy 10 mile a day runner... Robert - from Progurt - called us last Thursday and what he had to say made total sense. We have nothing to lose....email me and I'll keep you posted on my husbands progress. Dona Mae Cairns

hi

i was diagnosed with ms a year ago, i am taking the proghurt.

I first rang and spoke with Robert when the whole left side of my body was numb, and he told me to do something as simple as drinking salt in water, he would ask me what i could feel and it was the circulation trying to run through my hand i have been on progurt since september last year with eating guidelines he gave to me. A plus side was i have lost 12kgs, which has almost brought me down to what i should be for my height. Iwent on holidays and did not follow my eating plan with the yoghurt when i got back i started to go numb again and also had double vision, first thing i did was ring Roberthe told me exactly what to do.as i was still unsure i still went and seen the optometrist about my double vision in the meantime i followed what Robert said and my vision was back to normal by the time i seen my specialist - couple of days. My neurologist can't believe that i am supposed to have something wrong with, he doesn't want to see anymore unless something happens.You have less of the progurt as you go along, i find the cost is nothing compared to feeling good, and Robert gives you constant support that you do not pay for. I ring robert once a week, let him know how i'm going if i have any problemshe tells me what to do- all inexpensive. Before i started progurt my neurologist wanted me to start injections and now he doesn't want to see me, everything robert told just made sense and i could relate.

UPDATE March 25, 2007:

 

My husband, Stefan, has been taking Progurt for 3 weeks. We have seen a MASSIVE difference. ALL POSITIVE! I strongly encourage those of you that would truly like to lead a normal, and I mean NORMAL LIFE, to get on the Progurt AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. You will not regret it... You'll wonder why you didn't try it the day you first learned of its existance... For the first time in 5 years I have seen my husband walk normally, have normal balance, coordination, sleep through the night with no sleeping tablet, his skin looks healthy (it was dry and flaky before), he can balance standing on his left foot for nearly 30 seconds (couldn't do it for more than 2 seconds before), he has significantly improved energy, his hair feels thick and healthy, his eye sight has improved...that's all I can remember at the moment.

 

Feel free to contact me directly if you'd like more information regarding Stefan's progress. donamae@comcast.net

Now call me a doubting thomas ladies...But as we all know MS can go into remission. I am very pleased that for whatever reason you/partner are much improved...But then so am I. And I haven't been taking any proghurt. I am very wary when it comes to advertising of any products. Ofcourse it is always up to the individual when it comes down to treating oneself.

Something as simple as adding salt to ones diet can be benefical to some people. However, it can be a harmful to others. I would personally recommend that before contemplating any diet you contact your G.P first.

Donamae I am glad your husband is doing well, i also do not wobble standing on one leg either, skin is great and hair got thicker. Just make sure he sticks to it otherwise he may get some symptoms back like i did when i broke it for one week.

 

Michelle can i ask out of curiosity are you on anything for your ms. I do not think they would say salt is for anyone either, but i am still young and did not have any salt in my diet.

 

I do feel very positive about progurt as it is a more natural alternative to having the injections every second day, as these injections do not help for fertility.

Karen - I too won't have any of the daily or weekly injections for the DMD's. Instead I'm on LDN, a recognised treatment albeit not licensed as such for MS (but then nor are several other meds given for MS) and which works out extremely cheap even though most people pay for it privately. You can read a lot more about it in our LDN section here on the forum which has a wealth of information on it - including several valid and genuine surveys on how people rate it and what symptoms it helps.

 

My own personal preference is that I'd take LDN any time over Progurt... and cheaper.

Donna Mae, if you're so keen to indicate your husband's progress, may I ask why you seem to want to hide it from the forum by asking people to email you off-forum?

 

As for the relief your husband's felt from Progurt, the same and perhaps more can be said of LDN. As I said to Karen, if you look at our LDN section and the various links etc in there, you'll see that it has very few if any side-effects, is pretty much non-toxic, has a very high success rate, and is cheap.

Hi Karen,

Ofcourse you may ask... I take Pregablin for neuropathic pain,albeit a low dose. The rest of the time I follow my physio's exercise plan which was tailor made for me. I eat oily fish several times a week, and try and keep to a healthy diet. I have also followed my continence nurses advice and found great success by cutting out caffine in my drinks...oh and I have cut down on fizzy drinks which irritates the bladder.

The balance exercises that my neurophysio put me through have been invaluable to me. Ofcourse I get moments when I cheat and throw in a diet pepsi or a few vodka's. But that's me and my weak spots. I guess we all have them and I think that's a fairly normal experience. Keeping a positive mental attitude also helps me through the rough times.

Ref yoghurts...I love yoghurts and often buy a probiotic type from the supermarket. Now the nicer weather is here, I will be dusting off my smoothie machine and filling that with fruit,natural yoghurt and ice. Brill way of getting down the recommended daily fruit intake.

It must be a great relief in not having to have injections and not having to see your neurologist. Good luck!

How are people getting on with 'Progurt' yogurt?

 

There was a spell when people kept saying they would keep us informed, but they never came back...........makes me very skeptical that any of it was true!

OK, I joined after reading this thread. Although we all have no proof, I just wanted to say what everyone was thinking. You can only really trust someone you have known for a long time, not someone who has only made a couple of posts, and all of those regarding a single product.

Hi Patricia,

It's gone very quiet on the progurt topic. I think the only thing it would hurt, would be our purses :think:

For those of you who think the progurt is expensive, you're right...here's the alternative :)

It's nearly 1/10th the cost! and the yogurt maker is much better...not sure how the concentration of probiotic bacteria stacks up though...

To take it one step further, I contacted my local health food store chain (I live in a population of 1 million...), and they have plenty of probiotic yogurt starter options, including the yogurt maker! So now, it just comes down to cost, features (on the maker), and the strains/concentration

I am a new member having just joined. I have MS and was reading the forum and felt I needed to have a say. I was diagnosed 6 months ago and have been taking progurt now for a month. I was very keen to get to the bottom of why I have this condition, rather than simply taking drugs which only treat the symptoms. Progurt is not simply buying yogurt. To me Progurt is complete access to an amazing Nutritionalsit named Robert Beson. Robert has studied the anatomy for 30 years and knows what makes us tick. Since being under Robert's guidance I have spoken to him every day (except weekends). I feel very privildged to know him as he has totally changed my life in 4 weeks. I have lost 10 kilos, my symptoms have halved, and I feel more energetic than I felt for a very long time. Everything Robert says makes total sense. Eating his progurt is only a part of the deal. The biggest part is the diet. Basically nothing should go into your mouth unless it is good for you. It is very strict and if you don't show the necessary discipline then Robert will not waste his time on you. What he is asking me to do has meant a complete lifestyle change. Robert is not a person who sells yogurt, to me he is my treating specialist. My attitude is that I don't want MS. It scares me. And I will do anything to rid myself of it. Cuttiung down on fizzy drinks, caffeine etc will not cut it. The fact is - yogurt alone will do nothing. You need a powerful pro-biotic like progurt, you need sunshine (vitamin D), you need to exercise and you need to keep to a very strict diet. In addition he has meon daily salt drinks, and epsom salt drinks. And doing all of this day in/day out is not easy. But then how bad do I want to get better? Robert is not advertising what he does. He doesn't need to. I get the feeling he is struggling to cope with the demands from people he is treating as it is. I am not promoting progurt. I am simply telling my story and I felt there was a clear lack of undrstanding on this forum as to what progurt is.

Hi Tom and welcome. You nearly slipped in under the Radar there!

 

You live in a wonderful place too, having visited Perth in 99 as we have friends in Canning Vale. As MS is Geographcally relevent, I guess you are a bit of a rarity in Oz having MS?

 

Thanks for your input re Progurt. It's aroused my interest and I am now off to see what I can find out more for my wife.

 

Hope to see you on here again where your input could prove invaluable to other users of this Forum.

 

Kind regards...


If you ever read this my darling Prishpresh. I love you dearly and will always be there for you.

Thanks for the welcome Hercules. As it so happens I live in Canning Vale myself.

 

I am far from a rarity. I attended the newly diagnosed seminar at the Perth MS Society late last year and was surprised at the number of people there. I think I read the other day that there are 2,400 people in NSW alone with the condition - so I am not alone.

 

It seems to be on the increase. Whilst we do get a lot of sun here, we are taught from a young age to avoid it because of skin cancer. I basically never go out in the sun without covering up or using sunblock. Lack of sunshine appears to be just one contributing factor. Along with diet, lifestyle and genetics.

 

Anyway right now I am feeling good about where I am going. I feel I am tackling this thing head on rather than hoping drugs will take care of it. By changing my lifestyle completely I am confident I am doing more to actually treat the root cause of the problem, rather than just the symptoms. Only time will tell if the path I have chosen is the right one.

 

Robert at Progurt is quite confident I will be symptom free by the end of the year - so I periodically will let you know how I am going - either way.

Robert speaks to MS sufferers all over the world - including the UK. His time is scarce and his manner can be abrupt - but he knows his stuff. If you listen to him and follow his advice, then he will make himself available to talk with you on a regular basis.
