Double Wood - Cissus Extract

I don’t usually write reviews but I’d like to say this supplement has really helped me out. I broke my arm in December and found this supplement recommended in a blog and thought “why not?”. I’ve been taking this for about 2 1/2 months now and would like to credit a fast recovery from my humerus fracture as well as some surprising weight loss. I gained 20lbs after starting a medication and couldn’t seem to lose the weight. I hardly exercised for 2 months after I broke my arm but I’m somehow 10lbs down from where I was in December. Could be partially muscle loss but I’d like to say the supplement keeps me from overeating. Placebo/environmental or not, I’d like to credit the supplement! I will continue taking this.

Because I use a lot of supplements, it’s important for me to pay attention to cost and value and side effects. This is a brand I use often because there are fewer side effects and they usually carry a strength and effectiveness that works for me.you won’t be disappointed if you buy this brand.

Seems to be giving my husband I some relief after only taking a couple days. DO NOT TAKE WITH FOOD. Take 2-3 hours after eating or before eating with cup or more of water and you won't have stomach upset. This seems to be the main issue with the negative comments.

My wife had fallen down the stairs in front of our resident. She was in the hospital for two and half months the neurosurgeon was talking about operating on her spine which was high risk surgery. I told the doctors that she needs therapy first, can she be put in traction that could help her. Then she was sent therapy hospital for month an half. Which she had no control of her pain that she was going through. It's like the pain killers that Doctors had prescribed to her was not doing anything but making very,very uncomfortable. I purchased Cissus Quadrangularis for myself but since my wife was in serious pain that killing her so bad. I couldn't help her so I gave her two capsules and glass of water. The pain disappeared in less than [5] five minutes. I kid you not this stuff really works my jaw dropped on the floor when she was able to fall asleep with ease. She stop taking all those pain killers.She took my bottle of CQ to her dr an told her that my husband save my life. With these pills he purchased on Amazon. And it took some time to do my research on Cissus Quadrangularis has alot to do with bones. Atleast her pain is in more in control than before.

Part 1: Car crash in mid-April tore my left rotator cuff. Been on Alleve/Ibu/XS Tylenol ever since, in steadily declining doses. Got the CQ 2 weeks ago, and was able to get fully off those other products by taking 2 pills of the CQ in morning and 2 at night. Have been continuing gentle isometrics on both arms.In just two weeks, my range of motion has noticeably improved. Before CQ, I could not swing my driver's side car door fully open, but for the past 4-5 days, that has been no problem. Also, changing in and out of a t-shirt has become slightly easier. Again, this is in just two weeks.Unfortunately, my MRI from mid-July shows a FULL tear in the cuff. I have surgery scheduled for mid-October. With that being 2 months away, I will continue to take the CQ and see how it goes. It would truly be a miracle herbal supplement if that surgery and long rehab can be avoided! I'll circle back here and update my review later this fall.(Added 12-8) Part 2: Though the CQ helped, I proceeded with the surgery. I continued taking the CQ with a dose of 2 pills am and 2 pills pm right up until 10 days before my rotator cuff surgery on Oct 12. The surgery was successful, and I began the normal PT routine the next week. Two weeks after surgery, I started back up on the CQ. 3 pills in am and 2 pills in pm. Extra strength tylenol and icing as needed.I want to stress in this next section that all of this is anecdotal and non-scientific. Also, I should stress I've been doing PT sessions twice a week with a very competent therapist and also I feel I am a good patient...I've been good at doing my home exercises and icing as needed.For about 3 weeks now, my physical therapist has made comments about being impressed with my range of motion and has also made comments that I am "ahead of schedule" as to most people with rotator cuff recovery. I also visited the surgeon's office last week for a follow up, and the PA was also impressed with my range of motion. He found himself rechecking the date of the surgery when I was able to raise my arm level with the shoulder and could reach fully behind my waist. His comment was "Wow, keep doing what you're doing."I want to emphasize, I did not take this product for ten days before and two weeks after the surgery, sticking with my pre and post op instructions NOT to take supplements. My gut feeling is the CQ is part of why I am ahead in terms of recovery. However, as I said above, I AM a good patient...doing all else that has been asked. Take from this what you will, but if ever had to do this again, I would take the CQ in exactly the same way.
