Hi,
in his book, Healing Lyme, Buhner wrote about cat's claw that "If taking a liquid extract, the lighter the color of the tincture, the more potent it will be." Why is it like that? I always thought that the more intense the color of the tincture, the stronger it is.

I always find his sourcing, protocol and dosage information to be ridiculously ambiguous and sometimes contradictory.

I just go w the green dragon botanicals capsules

Oh, if you are supplementing with Cat's Claw it's best to take it as a powder or in capsule form. It needs to dissolve in stomach acid to be of any use. This aids absorption and breaks down the tannins.

Tincture's work well but it's definitely there in the books that it works better when it's ingested as a powder.

Cignet, after removing the salvia the headaches, dizziness and upset stomach went away. I am now only one week into using the Chinese Skullcap and am noticing my nerve pain feels materially better

Really? Excellent. I might have to get some for myself. It's just sourcing it in small amounts is difficult.

I'll try order some next month.

Good to hear it dcd2103.

Just found this article, that makes sense. Shame it's not in Buhner's book. I hope it works for remyelination which is the main reason for the salvia. Are you using the Gou Teng?

I'm gonna give the Skullcap a go as well. I have some on the way this week. If it helps with the pain then I'm sure it'll do me some good. It's good for brain inflammation as well.
