Digestive problems and joint pain
Barbara V. shares her story
Testimonial received in September 2021.
I had digestive problems and, on top of that, because of my profession, I was starting to have pain in the joints of my hands.
Today, I feel much better, both digestively and in my hands, and that after 12 days of using Géomer products.
A few years ago, I had severe abdominal pain: I was found to have necrosis of the intestines and part of it had to be removed. Since then, I very often have digestive problems, and the only solution, when I have a flare-up, is to take medication. But after so many years, it relieves me less and less. It was becoming a real problem: I had tried everything, from herbal teas to naturopathy remedies, without being relieved enough.
One day, I saw an article on organic silicon on the Laboratoire Géomer website. I have been a customer for some time and I have great confidence in their products, because many of my patients use them and are very satisfied. So I contacted Laboratoire Géomer explaining my problem. The manager offered me an intensive programme with Silicium Organique Forté: 25 ml three times a day before meals, or one intake of 75 ml a day, for 3 months. I chose the 75 ml intake before breakfast, as I am out of the house all day. I dilute it in a herbal tea, and the taste is barely noticeable. After 15 days, I was already noticing a difference: my digestion was better and the abdominal pain was easing. Incredible but true.
I took the opportunity to ask for another piece of advice. I am a physiotherapist: in my job, we use our hands a lot and we are on our feet all day. I sometimes end the day with lower back pain, which is ironic for a physio, but I manage it. My concern was something else: since I work with my hands all day, often intensely, I was starting to feel joint pains similar to osteoarthritis, increasingly unpleasant. The Géomer manager advised me to use the organic silicon gel. I apply it every day, and within a few days I felt real comfort; I also apply it to my back when it is overloaded, and the well-being is immediate. I started using this gel during my patients' massages, with excellent feedback.
I am extremely grateful for what these products bring me, and to the Géomer team, who always answer my questions. Once again, a big thank you.
