Hi,

I bought some pinella lately and start with 1 drop a day. I took it 3 times now and I notice that every time I take it about half an hour later or so I'm developing a shortness of breath. Is this common with pinella? Or may I be a little allergic to it?

I have been taking Pinella for 7 months now, 15 drops twice/day. I have not had any strong reactions to it other than some help with cognition… but are you experiencing "air hunger"? This is a common Babesia sx. Perhaps you're herxing a bit?

I haven't had any reaction like that, but I agree. It could be a herx.

My son has been on for about 2 1/2 months now, I started him full strength, he was a mess.. not from the Pinella, that seemed to help - he was overloaded after 5 weeks of doxy and no cleansing. Has helped him A LOT. I have him 15 drops 3 times a day. Was trying to get him well enough to get back to school.

I think Pirouette and sarahm620 seem like they have it right, but I'm no expert, they have more experience than I. Feel better and take is slow, but it's a great herb.

I've started pinella again past week and took 3 drops a day.
I noticed from the beginning that I had a sort of a cold feeling when inhalating air, but thought it was because of my anxiety.

Today I took 2 drops in the morning and after about half an hour I was noticing that I was feeling a bit more depersonalized. When I came home at around 1pm I felt a bit strange but decided to take another drop of pinella after the meal.

Then suddenly something felt really wrong in my head and I couldn't hardly breath any more. This took a few minutes to recover a bit. Despite that I decided to go for a walk with the dog which went fine with regards to my condition. Still felt a shortness of breath, depersonalized, dizzy but nothing too extreme. But then about an hour after I came home I did get an enormous headache which got worse and worse. When I fed my fishes and bent a bit I saw 100 of stars in my eyes cause of the pain and pressure :-(. I had to lay down and my headache went at a point I almost couldn't handle it anymore! Since then the headache is a tiny bit less but I still feel with every small breath as if I'm inhalating ice cold air. I feel this in my throat and around my heart in the chest area. I had this feeling already in the weekend for a bit, but nowhere near as cold as now. Sometimes it feels as a cold burning sensation.

I think I'd better stop the pinella?

What could be wrong with me to have such symptoms?

Are you drinking plenty of water throughout the day?

Yes about 2-3 litres

I had to stop taking Pinella for that same reason. My herx reactions are nothing like what I feel like when I take this herb. I think some people either have a mild allergy or are more sensitive. Anyways, thought I'd let you know that you aren't alone.

I started the pinella once a day (10 drops in 4oz of water) 3 days ago and it is making me so depressed. I stopped yesterday and today I am not as bad. Has anyone else had this reaction to the herb? Thanks and be well.

Hi bikergirl517 - welcome to our community.

I take Pinella and burbur every day...often a few times in a row when I'm herxing.

I haven't had that reaction to it.

You could try it with just a couple of drops and see how you feel...or just not take it.
There are other detoxes you can do.
You could try Dr. Jernigen's Neuro-Antitox II CNS/PNS.

bikergirl - do you have a LLMD to treat you?

I decided to add pinella to my burbur. Last two days, bad headache! I’m sticking with the burbur and other ways to detox. Everyone is different, but for now, my dr. Told me to not take it. He was right!
