Hi Tickled!!

I was wondering: how is the Houttuynia tea going?? Is your derrière being kicked too? :-)

Hope it's going well for you. I have doubled my dose meanwhile, very slowly, drinking 2 cups a day. When it's too much, I go back to 1 cup.

Hope you'll have a good weekend - summer is definitely over here... starting to feel like a fish...

Thanks,Marie,

Well, I started on Monday and I'm only taking half your dose because I wanted to take it very slowly.

So far,so good :-)

I upped my detoxing before I began and actually I'm feeling OK,no added symptoms,just a painful left foot and twinges in my wonky thumbs but that could be due to this very damp and changeable weather here in Germany.

I'm planning to double up to 1 gramm next week,when I started with Teasle at the start of my saga, I over did it and paid for it dearly.........this isn't going to happen this time if I can help it.

Herbs are to be respected! They can be very powerful and are not to be trifled with.

I'll keep you up to date,but how are you? You sounded very rough,is it getting any easier?

Thanks Trav smilewinkgrin

Tickled,
good to hear it's going well! All in moderation :-) . Forewarned is fore armed...

It was just horrible that first 1,5 week. It's still doing it, but easier. I can handle it, used to - lol. It doesn't feel like I'm plowing through a thick liquid anymore when moving.
Taking Ceftin now too, I manage so far, although my heart is reacting, and the usual herxing. It feels like a walk in the park after that Houttuynia. Well, so to speak - lol.

Hope you had a nice weekend!

Marie

Of course, Marie! I was skimming through posts trying to help make sure they all had gotten at least one answer and saw your post. Knowing what I know about treating with Houttuynia, I wanted to be sure that Tickled saw your post!

I hope that both of you have gain as much as I did using this!

Thanks Trav :-)

I thought that if it worked for you after so many years,it was well worth giving it a go!

I'm a tad nervous after Marie's experience,but as the saying goes........no pain,no gain.

Hi Marie,

Are you still "walking through treacle"? ( in the park)

Tickled
Posted 9/16/2013 2:41 PM (GMT 0)
I'm sorry I made you nervous Tickled, it wasn't what I meant to do...

 

lol... the park wink

 

No, that feeling is over. I sometimes feel it a tiny bit, but not like before. A huge relieve!

Posted 9/16/2013 7:32 PM (GMT 0)
Well, thank you for the vote of confidence! LOL! wink

I do hope that it works as well for you as it did for me! I know that both of you understand very well that just because it worked so well for me in no way means that you will have the same results. I only wish that was true!!! Then we could all be done with this nonsense right away!

I've been following your and Marie's conversations so far, just so that I can see how well it's going for both of you - I hope neither of you minds! LOL!
Posted 9/16/2013 7:48 PM (GMT 0)
Of course I mind smilewinkgrin

Seriously, I find it very touching and soooo kind that you spare your time to "watch over us" It's very much appreciated,thank you,kind soul.

TickledPink...hi there! How did you do on Teasel Root? I'm on it now and had to back track a bit because of the car accident but I'm going back to two drops. I can't do the whole 9 drops like most people...trying to get to six but we will see what my body can and can't take.

Let me know...and yes these herbs are NO joke! Whew! My herbalist wants to see how I do on this and I'm also drinking 2 1/2 cups of sasparilla. She is looking into "H" for me or Artemesia (however you spell it). But getting through Teasel first.

Trying to stay encouraged.

How is it going Marie?

I'm up to 2 cups every day.

Strange things are happening........hot flushes,just like the menopause all over again, UGH!!!!!!!!

Feels like somebody has turned on the heating, LOL

Tickled

@ Wryter,Teasle really knocked me for six,it's unbelievable how potent it is,but I truly believe it played an important role in my healing process.

Hi Tickled,

I'm at 2 cups daily too.

One day I don't notice any worsening of the herxing, but on other days it's pretty hard. Had a bad week: soles of feet, overall pain, feeling very absent, and THE mood (ahum)...

But continuing.

I haven't felt an increase in hot flashes... maybe Traveler had this going on?

I've read before that H is considered a herb eliminating heat and toxins from the body (in chinese medicin)...

Hope you are still doing well, except for the strange things happening? going on walks with the dogs?

Marie

Thanks for the info,"heat eliminating" that makes sense,thank goodness something does :-)

Sorry you're still in so much pain, but yes,still going for long walks with my horrors and my friend and her 2 horrors.LOL............2 wirehaired Dachshunds and 2 Jack Russells,not good when there are birds and little animals about.

Tickled
Posted 9/30/2013 11:00 AM (GMT 0)
2 Jack Russels? Oh my... the energy.... I don't know about Dachshunde..., but Jack Russels are a handful...
Posted 9/30/2013 11:08 AM (GMT 0)
Dachshunds are the canine version of mules....tell them to do something and they either go deaf or do the complete opposite........a bit like men smilewinkgrin
Posted 9/30/2013 11:15 AM (GMT 0)
ROFL!!! Tickled... tongue

sounds like my man for sure - lol.

Posted 9/30/2013 2:48 PM (GMT 0)
Y'all are cracking me up!

Hey Tickled I told my herbalist I can't get to 9 so she suggested get to six...so this week I'm back up to 4 drops...next week..5 and the week after 6.

God those little drops do something! But I know it's doing something in there! I have a consult with my herbalist next week to see if she wants to start me on the Hout...however you spell it!

So if she does I will need you and Marie's superpowers to help a sista out!

Hi Wryter,

You can count on us yeah Although "super powers" I THINK NOT speaking only for myself.

Tickled

Actually, I did have hot flashes while I was still herxing from the Houttuynia! I have now discovered that it isn't anything like my hot flashes from menopause though!! At least not for me - the ones from menopause are worse!!!

I also had a horrible increase in my pain levels at first. Actually a lot of my Bart symptoms increased at first, but settled back down soon after I got up to the full dose. I hope that it works the same for all of you!

We have one Jack Russell and two Rat terriers and our yard stays clear of all kinds of birds and small critters! LOL! But we love our puppies (they are actually almost 9 years old now).

I don't know if any of you suffered from the neuro symptoms of Bart but if you did...did you see a difference? Trav let me know since you're a graduate of Houttuynia lol.
Posted 9/30/2013 10:36 PM (GMT 0)
Well that horrid leg/foot pain of Bartonella that kept me from standing longer than 10 - or 15 minutes is gone!! That's not to mention the emotional/psychiatric side of Bart that's resolved as well!
