80% gone overnight OSHA ROOT

So is anyone still taking Osha root? If so is it helping? It seems like the osha root talk has died down.

I’m using it. Two drops. Can’t remember why I decided to try it. Going very low and slow.

I guess it definitely didn’t pass the Buhner taste test then. I find it neat that you have such a good instinct on this WalkingByFaith.

Mine has a taste of celery and a warm taste I can only describe as incense. I have to say though that I haven’t met an herb I didn’t like.

Have you tasted Cryptolepis? Yuck!

Mmmmm... I seriously like them all. I’m not sure what that means lol.

I’m not taking osha right now although I feel that it’s potentially a good herb and would try it again later. I don’t think it’s the one-and-only though.

I’ve recently determined that mould is a much bigger part of my picture than I thought. When I’m somewhere clean I can substantially reduce what I take to feel almost normal - I was down to just astragalus, arginine and a small amount of two tinctures for joints and immune for a month while clear. I’m home again and feel awful.

I’m starting remediation in two weeks and then I’m going to try to restart my protocol and figure out where I’m at then.

===================
Do you like bitter tasting foods etc?

I don’t like anything bitter - tonic water... grapefruit ... even some lettuce - some of the tinctures I shudder when I take them

“Lyme has been dormant for me, for the last 10 years.
I have Raynauds, problems of circulation, infections in the hands and feet in winter, plus some arthritic pains (light, specially in fingers due to Raynauds probably).”

You don’t think that the Raynauds/arthritis are symptoms of Lyme?

yea - i don't claim this but the guy inthe video does lol - it has triggered herxheimer reaction and caused pain within knee joints i think its working

I suffer from cold hands and feet since my youth. I grew in South America.
It's not a favorite place for lyme.
The moment I moved to Europe and got bitten by a tick, got the EM rash, in weeks I was bed ridden, with arthritis, neuropathy, encephalitis, paralysis on and off, air hunger, light sensitivity, vomiting, my hair got grey in a matter of months, I lost weight, lost teeth, began to be extremely electro sensitive, some of my finger joints opened due to infection... and the list goes on.
I got better after several natural treatments, until the next tick bite.
Then fell ill again. And again, and again.
Now tick bites do nothing to me. I get bitten every single year. No more CFS, no more extreme joint pain, extreme brain fog, extreme EHS, air hunger etc. No one even remembers I even had lyme.
It's been 10 years I'm lyme free, in the sense that I can get bitten by ticks and do not fall ill.

That's why I say I'm lyme free.
I still control my diet very strictly, still do my exercises, but my health is better than most of the people around me, I think.
I believe lyme is a condition that runs parallel to others. It's not a condition that is isolate.
It comes due to a very weakened immune system, probably due to excess of toxins. The tick is just what makes the condition be seen (well, only now I can say that, before I was terrorized by ticks).

Osha though works multisystemic, I feel. I really like it.
It's like acting in my left knee (the worst joint during active lyme), in my right shoulder (that was unaffected during active lyme), in all my fingers and toes (that suffer from raynauds / chilblains / joint infection).

I even feel my uterus or ovaries being treated, it made me sleep VERY DEEP.
But I made a 2 day pause, as I got pretty tired 2 days ago.
Today I'm taking it again!

Picked up Osha tincture drops today from sprouts plus oregano oil. Mixed 30 drops of Osha plus 4-5 drops of oregano with water. Taste was very strong. At the time, my daily headache was stronger than usual. After about an hour, I got extreme exhaustion and slept for about 2 hours then woke up with hangover symptoms but my headache was gone. Within a few hours my normal symptoms were back (headache, ear pressure, achy etc). I plan to do another dose tonight to see if I feel any different tomorrow. Hoping the exhaustion and hangover is related to Herx but skeptical at this point since by normal Lyme symptoms returned almost immediately.

hi guys, it's my first time trying OSHA root - its specialty is cryptic bacteria/parasites - such as lyme i suppose

Wow, this is amazing! I lived in northern New Mexico for many years and was well aware of Osha. We used to dig it in the mountains outside of Taos, to use in sweat-lodge and for other medicinal purposes. I learned that it's referred to by Natives as "bear root." Supposedly Apaches had noticed how bears will dig it up and eat it in the spring. Some of the local Hispanics referred to it as "Chuchupate," and have used it for generations. I wonder, for myself, if my use of Osha while I lived in NM kept my Lyme symptoms at bay, because my Lyme symptoms slowly got worse after moving back East (to the mountains of North Carolina).
We always knew it was good for the lungs/congestion, and I always used to take it if I felt a cold coming on. Most of us Osha users would just put a chunk of the root in the side of our mouths (like a plug of tobacco). Very strong taste, at first--somtimes I would sleep with a piece of it in my cheek, esp. if coming down with a cold. A friend of mine used it for years and swore that it helped his (very serious) COPD. We were aware of its antibacterial and (supposedly) antiviral properties. Taos Herb Co. is a good place to get it or mail-order it, tinctures or dried root. https://www.taosherb.com/cgi-taosherb/sb/productsearch.cgi?storeid=*14884f2aaa5d50f60834c661 Rob Hawley (owner and local herb expert) is very knowledgeable about Osha, and I hope I can contact him and see what he knows about its use for Lyme.

I forgot about this. I got a small 2 oz bottle of tincture and took it until I finished the bottle. I can’t remember now what dosage I worked up to. I don’t remember what my impression was, but I didn’t reorder any. I will have to check my notes.

I spoke too soon. This morning’s dose produced a very strong herx for me. I rarely herx and haven’t in maybe a year now. Strong fog, fatigue and muscle pain. It’s clearly hitting something and hard.

Not good that u herx bt good because at least now.we know.it is targeting something hard
