Sarcoidosis and Some Potential Help Art (California ) on 04/25/2018
Sarcoidosis can go after many areas of the body including, but not limited to the skin, lungs, heart, eyes, brain and other organs. In this sense it has some similarities to Lupus. Obviously when sarcoidosis goes after the major organs, it can be life threatening and though steroids can be helpful, you can not take them indefinitely because steroids themselves can create new health issues which can also be serious, so some type of alternative would be very useful for people living with sarcoidosis. Studies into sarcoidosis are very limited as anyone who has researched this disease is acutely aware of!
On that note, the following abstract of a study suggests just such an alternative that may be useful for sarcoidosis based on the study results!

Although this is not a huge study it does shine some light into an area of current day medicine that is very poorly lit or understood and it offers hope for a disease that has been pretty much hopeless for patients.
Melatonin is a favorite supplement of mine and it has a very good safety profile, as it should, since it is naturally produced by the body and the body has multiple melatonin receptors suggesting the bodies potential to utilize melatonin effectively. Melatonin is also readily available at the effective dosage used in the study. Melatonin has many health benefits well beyond the scope of this study making it quite useful in the area of health improvement. Melatonin is relatively inexpensive.
One very good thing about this study is that, at the dosage used in the study, it should be practical for you to show this very brief abstract to your doctor to get your doctor's approval and supervision for its use. Given the increased mortality rate associated with this disease, this could be life saving information for some people living with sarcoidosis!

My dad has sarcoidosis, a chronic, inflammatory disease/respiratory disorder, characterized by granulomas and scar tissue. The doctors say it is irreversible, but I believe that the cure may be out there in the form of an herb.
I've read that the Native Americans and Spaniards smoked Yerba Santa for respiratory conditions?because
"Toward this end it was also smoked in the belief that the smoke went exactly to the place it was needed---the lungs."
I believe it, but I've asked around and all herbalists tell me that someone with a respiratory condition should not be putting smoke in their lungs.
But I believe that the Indians knew something that we didn't.
There are statistics that people who smoke are less likely to get sarcoidosis, which to me could mean that , maybe something in the smoke (as well as the nutritive properties of the plant itself) kills or prevents the bacteria that (may) cause Sarcoidosis from prospering?
Does anyone have any insight into this or an opinion? I recognize that Yerba Santa can be made into a tea, but perhaps this makes it harder for the active healing ingredient to get to the lungs for healing.
