    I am not seriously considering this...however I would be interested to see if other SM members have tried it and what their experience is.  If any naturopath or holistic people would care to way in, that'd be great!

    Here is a link to one of the MLM sites:

    I'm not thrilled with some of the information I'm finding....that and it's not FDA approved...we all know how well that turns out!

    Thanks for your input.

    NOT helping @Sanityseeker!!  The mother of my bonus kids is giving this to them.  I have been looking into it and am now concerned that it's possible it could cause cancer.  It's a new product.  Not a lot of info on it.

    They are OTC.  She's giving the pills to the kids because of their awesome powers to make a person better.  Health wise anyway.

    I wouldn't give my kid anything like this at all.

    I don't care if it says it's all natural or whatever. I wouldn't take a chance.

    I saw a show recently that suggest most pill forms of "naturopathic" remedies are just sugar anyway.

    I've been doing research all afternoon on one of the ingredients.  If I am understanding all the medical abstracts correctly, fibroblast growth factor actual progresses cancer and/or causes it because of having too much!  Being as Laminine is a new product, there are no long term studies done it.  My husband and I are concerned.  She's also suggested that I take it for my MS.  Will not even think about something unless someone in the MS Society mentions it.
