Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 It is called Shilajit in sanskrit, if you search for that, you can find it online from many sources. It's used often similar to a TCM kidney tonic in Ayurvedic medicine, and extensively in Tibetan medicine as well. Hope that helps.... eric On Dec 17, 2009, at 3:41 PM, yehuda frischman wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > Many years ago, I was told of a tar-like paste from Russia that is used as a folk remedy to heal dental infections.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I am Russian we used mumiyo (that is how we pronounced " мумие " ) for all kinds of diseases but mostly as a tonic for someone recovering from a long illness. From what I remember мумие was collected from the walls of some caves and it's a fossilized substance, resulting from a combination of some animal excrements or other organic matter combined with minerals from the cave walls. This is a precious and expensive substance and I have never seen anything like it in the USA.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yes, it is a mineral-rich resin found in mountain caves, called " Mumio " sometimes spelled " moomiyo " or " moomijo " . A few of my elite athlete patients take it for enhancing sports performance and report good results. Unlike other adaptogens, one is not supposed to take Mumio continuously. For sports performance, one is supposed to cycle through in very specific ways based on the periodization cycle of the training programs. For example, they will take it during the peak volume or high-intensity training week and leading into the recovery week of each cycle of training. This is designed to help the body adapt more readily to the high-intensity stress of the training period and bounce back more quickly. not sure which internet website(s) they purchase from. but hopefully this points you in the general direction? ~edith On Dec 17, 2009, at 3:41 PM, yehuda frischman wrote: > > > Dear colleagues, > > > > Many years ago, I was told of a tar-like paste from Russia that is used > as a folk remedy to heal dental infections.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Dear colleagues, Many years ago, I was told of a tar-like paste from Russia that is used as a folk remedy to heal dental infections. I believe that it was called " mumiya " or something like that. Is anyone familiar with it and where it can be purchased? Spaseeba!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 My Russian friend knew right away what this was. Yes- Mumiya. She said it is made from guano from a specific bat that lives in Central Asia. She said it is very well known and very popular. Has antiviral, antibacterial and maybe even antifungal properties.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 No concerns about rabies? Interesting, perhaps since they do not have a CDC spreading rabies through a wildlife oral vaccine live rabies virus baiting program leading to our current wildlife endemic problem with rabies and the creation now of a species jumping mutant strain of rabies spreading through aerosolization like the common cold.
