Sangre de Drago in an Eczema or Psoriasis healing protocol

In my healing journey, I added in Sangre de Drago drops to my protocol. Here's why.

It has been used traditionally in Peruvian and other Amazonian medicine for:

The key active compounds include:

Taspine: Alkaloid linked to wound healing and anti-inflammatory activity.
Proanthocyanidins (very high levels): Powerful polyphenol antioxidants.
SP-303 (Crofelemer): A purified compound derived from the sap that became an FDA approved drug (Mytesi). It is approved for non-infectious diarrhea in HIV patients.

Forms a Protective Barrier in the gut

The sap has a resin-like quality. When ingested in small diluted amounts, it appears to:

This is similar in concept to:

This can be used to support gut healing when consumed in a drink.

Animal and in vitro studies show:

This could theoretically help: • IBD flares • Gastritis • Post-infectious inflammation • Irritated gut lining

Crofelemer (SP-303) works by:

Blocking chloride ion channels (CFTR and CaCC) in the gut • Reducing fluid secretion into the intestines

This directly reduces watery diarrhea.

So if someone has: • IBS-D • Infectious diarrhea • HIV-related diarrhea • Secretory diarrhea

There is actual clinical evidence for benefit.

Most of the “gut healing” claims are extrapolated from: • Its anti-inflammatory effects • Its mucosal barrier action • Its wound healing activity

Sangre de Drago has shown: • Antibacterial activity • Antiviral activity • Some antifungal activity

This is part of why it’s used traditionally for infections.

It is sometimes used in:

It appears in some skin healing protocols where the basis for the issue is gut issues. In my case, this is my leading theory.
