Christopher's Original Formulas Complete Tissue and Bone Syrup – Traditional Herbal Blend to Support Bones, Tissue & Cartilage, Liquid Botanical Formula, 16 oz

I broke my tibial plateau and had surgery a year ago. This has good reviews, so I got thru a bottle after my surgery. I also used the salve, because of the comfrey to help heal my bone. I noticed the salve gave me knee a lot of relief from swelling and pain. I'm now on my 4th bottle and 4th salve that I'm now using for some deep painful body work into my upper back, torso and under my shoulder blade. I can feel it working immediately to ease pain, so I know it's been helping with some pretty heavy duty healing processes. It tastes like strong herbs..... Because it IS strong herbs.. with some sweetness. I just chug a gulp out of the bottle and chase it down with water. Kinda tastes a bit like black liquorice. I've def. Tasted worse!!!! About comparable to the grossness of cough syrup. I REALLY appreciate Dr. Christopher's product line. The cayenne pepper salve also works really well. Nice and hot, absorbs well and can re apply often, to keep your tissues warm and flexible and ease pain.

I have been taking CTBF for just over two months now and I must say it is a God send to my RA. When I take it, my inflammation subsides and diminishes the severe chronic pain I experience (those of you with RA will know exactly what I mean). Before taking CTBF, when I would run out of my very expensive prescription meds, the inflammation came back with a vengeance. Now I don't flare up so much. I am trying to wean myself of the drugs for fear of the numerous side effects that they say may come with the drugs. Its not a cure all, as everyone is not the same, but personally I have no more debilitating pain, especially in my wrists. I can now use my hands and can move around freely. Even though CTBF seems to be safe, please tell your doctor first if you decide to take CTBF, especially if you are on prescription meds. Taste does not bother me too much, except I find it overly sweet, which I can understand if the organic herbs used are bitter. As always Amazon rocks.

Tastes bitter, but that’s herbal medicine; it doesn’t always taste great. This has been helpful for healing from injury and also my teeth. Many of the herbs are also beneficial for the lungs, so good be good for lower respiratory issues, too. It is more cost effective to take this syrup vs capsules, plus you can swish it over your teeth for direct application if you are having teeth issues.

Seems to be working. Wish the taste could be masked though.

It works! Take a couple of days maybe a week to kick in it works drink plenty of water

A year ago, I was helping my brother moved household items to the truck and I strained my back and cause me serious pain. I took my doctors medications, and it didn't work at all. I decided to try something else holistic. I remembered Dr. Christopher work in herb so I search on amazon if I could find a product that would help me. I came across this product and after three days I was able to walk without limping. The best way to take this medicine without the bitterness is take tablespoon in an 8 ounce of glass and you will be ok. Make sure put the medicine inside the water and stir it and then drank it. If you have severe condition, then spread it by four hours.

This stuff works great. Used it to heal up after a tooth extraction and other dental work instead of pain meds. And call me weird but I actually like the taste. It tastes like a high quality herbal bitters but instead of like you would use bitters in a cocktail I put it in ginger beer, club soda or tonic water. What’s not to love? So good for you. Drink in good health.

I bought the product after reading how effective it is for strengthening bones. I have not had it long enough to comment on its effectiveness but after reading so many reviews about the bad taste I have to disagree. I enjoy the flavor, maybe its because I usually avoid sugar so its sweetness feels like a treat or maybe it's because it reminds me of a liquid vitamin I was given as a child.
