SARAPIN FOR PAINFUL CONDITIONS
A Natural Way of Dealing with Pain

Sarapin is an aqueous solution of soluble salts from the plant

Serraceni Acaeae (Pitcher Plant) commonly used for the treatment of many painful syndromes including but not limited to Sciatic Leg Pain, Back pain, Occipital Headaches, numbness and/or tingling into arms and legs and even Fibromyalgia.  It is believed that Sarapin’s effectiveness arises from its ability to initiate the body’s own natural healing process.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why are insurance companies approving treatment with Sarapin for neck and back painful conditions?

• Because it works.

What are the advantages of using Sarapin instead of conventional anti-inflammatory therapy with corticosteroids and/or NSAIDS?

• Minimal adverse effects from Sarapin (transient if at all present)
• No accumulation of Sarapin in any organ such as the liver
• Your body excretes it without your liver processing it (water soluble)
• No gastrointestinal side effects

Am I a good candidate for Sarapin Treatment?

If you have a painful condition such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, sacroiliac joint pain, muscle pain or occipital neuralgia headaches you might benefit from treatment with Sarapin.

Why didn’t my family doctor inform me about Sarapin?

Unfortunately, Sarapin has not gotten the attention or credit it deserves.  It has been used successfully for over 50 years in the treatment of various painful conditions.  There is much more documentation of patient pain relief than literature from clinical research trials.

Can Sarapin be used in multiple areas at the same time?

It is best to treat one area of the body at a time such as the neck, the lower back, upper back, sacroiliac joint, knee, etc… When one specific area is isolated, it helps both the patient and the clinician evaluate the benefits of Sarapin treatment.

See below are actual clinical cases.

Female. Age 32.

Complaint: Pain in the right lower quadrant and right thigh. Examination revealed a 3/8 inch shortening of the right leg with a scoliosis. The heel was raised. Following injection of only the 1st lumbar nerve there was marked improvement, and after 2 injections there was no further need for treatment.

E.W. Female. Age 52.

Complaint: Very severe pain, right shoulder and back. Duration 6 weeks. Three months previous to the onset she was treated as a case of involutional melancholia. She received 8 electric shock treatments following which she developed very severe pain in the paravertebral region, right side, at the level of the 1st and 2nd dorsal roots. She was injected with procaine and obtained relief for 2 hours. Examination revealed marked tenderness to pressure over the region of the 1st and 2nd dorsal roots, right side. Tenderness to pressure in the region of the triceps and a small band of tenderness in the subclavicular region. Injection of the involved trunks gave relief for 5 days. Following her third injection she was discharged free of pain and without tenderness. Three weeks later the patient reported that she was free of pain and tenderness.

W.S. Male. Age 21.
Stevedore. Struck in low back and thrown to ground. Since then he has complained of pain in the right groin, stating that it hurt “in the crease.” Duration one year, during which time he was examined several times. He was treated throughout this period without relief of pain. He was finally labeled a neurotic and his compensation discontinued. It was claimed that he presented no objective evidence of any kind. The patient claimed that walking, bending or lifting aggravated his symptoms.

Examination revealed a definite zone of tenderness involving the 12th dorsal and 1st lumbar nerves, and a ¾ inch shortening of the right leg. No muscle spasm. Inguinal ring intact. X-rays of dorso lumbar spine negative. A heel lift plus paravertebral infiltration of these nerves caused immediate and complete cessation of pain. In this particular case only two injections were necessary. They were followed by applications of diathermy to the dorso lumbar spine. Several months later there was no history of recurrence.

G.R. Male. Age 40.

Complaint: Pain in low back, right side, following attempts to lift heavy object. Duration 4 days. He was unable to continue with work. Segmental tenderness of nerves indicating dorso lumbar sprain. Paravertebral infiltration of this area caused cessation of pain and tenderness. The pain returned the next day, but was decreased in severity. Following his 4th treatment he was able to return to his duties.
