What is Lomatium Used for Today?
Lomatium is currently regarded by some herbalists as an effective treatment for many types of viral infection, including HIV , viral hepatitis , colds and flus , acute bronchitis , sinusitis, and herpes . However, there is no meaningful scientific evidence that lomatium is helpful for these conditions, nor indeed that it has any antiviral effects at all. The story mentioned above about the great influenza pandemic of 1917/1918 cannot be taken as meaningful evidence of benefit; like all other great plagues, the influenza pandemic gave rise to innumerable rumors of cures, none of which have held up to scientific testing.
At most, there is exceedingly weak evidence from a small number of test-tube studies hinting hint that Lomatiumspecies might have antiviral properties. 1 2 However, tens or hundreds of thousands of substances have shown antiviral effects in the test tube; very seldom do benefits hypothesized from preliminary test tube studies hold up when human studies are performed. Only double-blind , placebo-controlled studies can show a treatment effective, and no studies of this type have been performed on lomatium. (For information on why such studies are essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies?)

My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never think I will be this satisfied again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV). I never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their doctors report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease. I was so depressed that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved. She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real. I went back to my work a month later with another HSV negative test result and they carried out another test to be very sure and they found out I am negative. Finally, the initial test was replaced with a negative result and my position was restored to me with an apology letter and a salary increment. Beware of impersonators, Dr. Utu can only be reached at: drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
