My German doctor is affiliated with Klinghardt and strongly recommended that I start consuming cistus tea. I just brewed my first batch yesterday (from Ki Science) as per the instructions at the link below, but I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can help me with.

Link: https://klinghardtinstitute.com/articles/sardinian-cistus-incanus/

1. Has anyone had the miracle results that Klinghardt says are possible? He describes it as "the least invasive yet most effective treatment for Lyme disease and many other modern chronic illnesses."

2. Is it possible to have too much? I was thinking I might just prepare two liters and sip on it throughout the day instead of water.

3. Can it be drunk at the same time as binders like charcoal? I generally have charcoal first thing in the morning, so I'm assuming I should wait 1-2 hours before having my first glass of cistus?

Thanks!

I have not tried cistus incanus yet, but from what I have read, it's best to start very slowly, with just a sip, or with very weak tea. People definitely herx hard from it sometimes.

I would keep it away from charcoal.

Hi, I've tried cistus tea and I used 2 tbsp per 16oz. And it was too much, stomach issues, diarrhea, and Herx symptoms. So I reduced it to 2tsp per 16 oz and dilute that in water and feel really good with that amount. It's really helped me have my energy back. Hope that helps.

Thanks guys. It was actually delicious so I may have gone a bit overboard... I drink over 1 liter yesterday, and then had horrible diarrhea. I hadn't attributed it to the cistus tea, but after reading your comment Kackery I think I may have found the cause. I'll take it easy today and slowly build up over time.

I'm glad to hear you've had good results with it.

Perhaps add probiotics. Cistus is like an antibiotic an could didrupt the normal flora from GI.

Cistus Tea has only been tested in petri dishes. It's never been tested in human trials. I tried it an experienced nothing....positive or negative. I'm always suspicious when a doctor is making a lot of money off the product that he/she is recommending; especially when they're one of the only ones recommending it.

Man you Herx on Cistus tea myself included so I do believe it’s doing something.
