Agreed! When I worked on parasites, bacteria and then Candida/yeast, my stomach flattened. I also used activated charcoal a binder and hp protease for the biofilm. Parasites: Para Cleanse, Candida Clear for the yeast and bacteria (until Gastro health is off back order if it could be hp pylori).

I totally agree with this.

A lot of people close their eyes toward it. They wonder why their health is suffering. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

99% of the people eating dinner 50 meters away have no idea this place exists.

The Antica Spezieria di Santa Maria della Scala was founded in the late 1500s by the Discalced Carmelites — the "barefoot" friars — inside their monastery. They grew herbs in the convent garden, crushed them by hand, and made remedies for their own community.

Then the popes found out.

The pharmacy was so close to the Vatican, and the quality of the medicines so high, that cardinals, princes, and eventually the popes themselves started coming here. It became known as La Farmacia dei Papi — the Pharmacy of the Popes.

In the 1700s, a friar named Fra Basilio della Concezione turned it into something bigger — a real pharmaceutical school. He developed legendary formulas, including the Acqua anti-pestilenziale (anti-plague water) and the Acqua della Scala, a lavender-based remedy still famous today. Fra Basilio lived to 77 — almost unheard of at the time — and people said it was proof his medicines actually worked.

The most extraordinary remedy still sitting in the room? The teriaca. A formula originally created by Andromachus, personal physician to Emperor Nero. It was considered the universal antidote — a cure-all made of 57 different ingredients, including viper meat. It sits in a marble container in the corner of the room. If the friar is in a good mood, he'll lift the heavy lid and let you smell it.

The pharmacy operated without interruption for nearly 400 years — through plagues, through wars, through the Roman Republic (when it was even used as a field hospital for wounded soldiers). It finally closed in 1954. But nobody ever cleared it out.

That's what makes this place unlike anything else in Rome.
The 18th-century wooden cabinets are still there. The frescoed ceiling with the Carmelite coat of arms. The original majolica vases, the scales, the mortars, the distillation stills, the pill-making machines. Even the medicines themselves — some over 200 years old — are still on the shelves. The wardrobe doors bear painted portraits of Hippocrates, Galen, and Avicenna, alongside records of famous visits, including King Vittorio Emanuele I in 1802.

And at the end of the visit? You can buy products still made by the Carmelite monks using the original recipes — creams, remedies, and liqueurs.

How to visit:

📍 Where: Piazza della Scala 23, Trastevere, Rome. You enter through the modern pharmacy on the ground floor.

You must book in advance. Email the friars. Cost: Around €5 per person.

I have seen improvement in how I feel mentally and physically after an EBPro ionic foot detox. I was feeling a little head cold and pain in my body, so I felt much better after. First picture about 15 minutes in, 2nd after.

I didn’t understand till I was in my early 20s that herbs were created by God to get to the cause of our health problems and help with symptoms.
After that, my whole life changed for the better! www.remedyherbshop..com.

I have a personal testimony of this product Mind Max without making claims of many clients who felt the same. Eight years ago at age 62 I noticed my brain was poorly functioning. I remember when my grandmother was in her 60s that she had similar problems where we thought she had dementia.
I got on this product, taking three every night and noticed a big difference within a week. I continued through two bottles and felt like I noticed dramatic improvement! Felt I have power over the deterioration of my brain. You can read about it (and order) using the code NSP for 25% off by going to my website www.remedyshop.com - clicking on M for Mind Max. Commercials are always promoting Prevagen, I have no idea if it’s helpful or not, but has some questionable ingredients:: Prevagen’s main ingredient is apoaequorin, a calcium-binding protein from jellyfish, alongside other ingredients like Vitamin D, microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, casein peptones, lactose, magnesium stearate, modified corn starch, salt, soy peptones, and sugar. While the manufacturer claims it supports memory, federal agencies and scientific reviews have challenged these claims, citing a lack of strong evidence and misleading advertising, with a court ordering disclaimers.
