I have have a few people recommend Japanese Knotweed for my son to help with inflammation

This week I have tried tumeric with black pepper from Whole Foods.

I see on Buhners it says get Knotweed from Green Dragon. Another suggestion was to get one pound powder from Amazon and pack capsules myself. I like that one :) saves $$$

There is a very big difference in price from sellers...

www.amazon.com/Japanese-Knotweed-Rhizome-Root-Polygonum-Cuspidatum/dp/B00LFV13I6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451858122&sr=8-1&keywords=japanese+knotweed+powder

www.amazon.com/Nature-Organic-Japanese-Knotweed-Resveratrol/dp/B015JWKYVS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1451858429&sr=8-3&keywords=japanese+knotweed+powder

This concerns me and I don't know which I should purchase.

any advice from the pros? I considered making my own like cd is doing, but I KNOW I am not ready for that yet. I have Buhner's new Bartonella book on the way from Amazon now, but since I keep hopping up
the A Bart, I thought (advice from a special friend on the blog here) that the knotweed would help my son a lot.

Thanks everyone, always appreciate your time, care and attention! ei

I agree with what Mister Mike said, I just wanted to point something out:
"and JK passes the blood brain barrier." So do please be careful! I know that Andrew has enough psych issues as it is. Introduce it slowly and stop it if he starts herxing too much.

Lovemychildren Mom your son must be old enough to take a capsule? If not you might want to do the tincture and give him a nice tasting "chaser."

I got mine on Amazon.com from Montana Farmacy at first just to make sure I could handle it. Now I get it from SageWomanherbs.com. I love how fast they get me my tinctures and they have large bottles which I will need when I begin making my own.

In an effort to get started and not wait for shipping, I got Gaia Resveratrol 150 from Whole Foods at dinner time yesterday . 372 mg Japanese Knotweed root extract with 300mg Resveratrol

I gave him 2 capsules and one this morning along with Tumeric yesterday.

I did not read this until just now, all your posts.

I did not think it would cause herxing, just reduce the inflammation! OH NO!

Did I do the wrong thing? Yikes!!!

I'm just getting so frustrated, not getting him well and plodding on and on. I'm kinda pushing more, but I don't want to hurt him. Since he doesn't tell me anything or discuss anything, I can only judge what is going on by what I see him doing....

Treatments are best done low and slow LMC Mom.

No matter how frustrated we are, rushing the process just doesn't seem to help.

I'd wait on more Japanese Knotweed until you see if your son reacts at all....and you might want to consider buying the tincture.

I started with 5 drops of Japanese Knotweed and slowly increased. Once I got up to what I thought was a dose that was equivalent to what is in the Green Dragon Botanicals capsules, I switched to one capsule....and then slowly added tincture drops again until I was able to take 2 capsules, etc.

Herbs can pack quite the punch - supportive or not. Low and slow is always the way to go.

hi lovemychildren mom - I started my 12 yo daughter on JKW last month - I am giving her the tincture, made by Woodland Essence, as recommended by Buhner.

yes, be careful with introducing it slowly. I gave her 2 drops of the tincture three times a day and increased it by one drop daily until i reached the correct dose. I cannot tell you - Christmas eve and christmas day, I completely forgot to give it to her, and when I went back to the dose, it was too strong (made her stomach ache and heart palpitate), so I had to go back to a lower dose and titrate it up again. It is mighty strong stuff!!

in the begining of the treatment i used green dragon jk, bark capsules. very good stuff, i could actually feel the effects 2h after each dose. ive since switched to Paradise herbs, extract. fewer capsules and about 3x cheaper. But not as good, or maybe because my health improved i dont feel the difference when i take them.

turmeric also is very good for lowering inflamation and especially joint pain

We don't know that it will cause herxing - I just know your situation with Andrew and didn't want you to have to go through any more herxing than necessary. Get him detoxing as soon as you can and use the detoxing methods most effective for him to help ease things.

Thanks everyone - you are always invaluable to me and I heed your advice tremendously!

What would I do without you????

I got the NuHerbs organics brand from 1st Chinese Herbs. It looks like it's out of stock there, but you might be able to find it elsewhere.

I just started mixing the powder in some apple sauce, and it doesn't taste too bad. Oatmeal also works. It's a little unpleasant in water or juice.

Oddly, I had no reaction to it as far as herxing goes, but we're all different.

Just another thought on neuro issues....have you looked into heavy metal toxicity for Andrew?
