2 elderly women with osteoporotic lumbar vertebral fractures have both benefited from
Xylaria polymorpha, the multiform wood club. Both are 85 years old and marked by a hard life. They both have not had it easy and have experienced poverty and hard work. They are both "old bones" whose lumbar bones, however, have become so brittle that they have collapsed without corresponding trauma. They are well aware that they have reached the last phase of their lives. And although death is already reaching out its fingers to them (the mushroom is called "dead mens finger" in English) they bear the severe pain with dignity without complaining. One patient had previously taken care of 40 goats and 20 chickens on her own. After Xylaria, she was able to stop taking all her painkillers and now only needs a crutch. Her whole attitude is much more upright. The other patient can sleep at night again and finally has confidence again, after she had not felt any improvement before, despite a stay in hospital, intensive physiotherapy and strong painkillers. During the trituration of Xylaria, the broken spine came to mind and in connection with the old age and the brittle bones, I simply tried Xylaria. Both patients had also taken Symphytum before.
