Placebo study with King Charles Spaniels and ALS
04.07.2012 21:22
Many people ask whether the well-known placebo effect can also occur? – That is impossible. To illustrate: In the Netherlands, several hundred King Charles Spaniels are now being treated for serious pain syndromes. It is known that this breed of dog suffers from syringomyelia sooner or later due to overbreeding. Within a week of starting treatment, the dogs are feeling significantly better. They no longer whine, are more lively and no longer have inflammation in their eyes. If treatment with PEA is then interrupted, these symptoms will return. Dogs “speak the truth” and are insensitive to placebo effects and such significant symptom reduction and return says enough.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) for osteoarthritis pain, intervertebral disc and back pain, diabetes pain and shingles
We have primarily treated patients with chronic pain, such as pain after a herniated disc, diabetes pain, osteoarthritis and shingles. Many of our patients talk about their positive experiences with the active ingredient on YouTube. The pain usually decreases within two weeks, and after 4-6 weeks the pain has decreased to more than 50%. In recent years, many clinical studies have appeared, all of which show that a dose of around 1200mg per day (60mg twice daily) is most effective. Many studies have been carried out by Professor Dr. Jan Keppel-Hesselink, one of the pain specialists at the Neuropathy Institute in Soest, Netherlands, has been summarized in an international publication.

Palmitoylethanolamide: Also valuable for rare diseases
In 2011, some patients with the fatal disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, briefly ALS, treated with PEA been done - with good results. Some patients have been published in a medical publication and some patient statements are also available on the Internet. Immediately after taking PEA, muscle strength increases, salivation decreases, and breathing becomes easier. The patients feel better. We quote a patient:
“Ten days of normast (tablets 600 mg x 2):
Early May ALS had taken over: my breathing got worse, I needed my Bi-Pap almost 24h/24, I had no more appetite, my voice got weak, my speech was no longer understandable, excess saliva…
Normast not only put a hold but I've been experiencing some improvements:
- Breathing: slightly better, I can breathe again 20' without my Bi-Pap, I eat a little more. My voice is stronger, my speech is better.
- Excess saliva: I've got a small window in the morning, and another one of around 2 hours in the afternoon during which my saliva is back to normal
- Arms: a little stronger I now hope that it's only the beginning."
Many MS patients have also noticed that PEA reduces spasms and pain.
Treat pain with PEA and pain-relieving creams
The difficult-to-treat pain of post-traumatic dystrophy responds positively to treatment with PEA, especially in combination with the pain-relieving creams that the Institute for Neuropathic Pain has developed, the so-called INP creams. These creams are often used with PEA for many types of chronic pain. These creams can be used by doctors for their patients [email protected] and www.stopdepijn.com be ordered.
