I just learned about this herb and apparently its all the rage in the weight loss world right now. I do have a a lot of issues that resemble metabolic syndrome and I could probably benefit from it that way but I am more interested in what this herb can do by stimulating the hypothalamo pituitary axis. I have secondary low T as well as low bone density and this herb seems to help with both of those. Does anybody know if this herb will help or hurt what I am trying to do with Bruhner's protocol? Thanks Greg
Here is a little info about it.

This was a huge fad from Dr Oz a couple of years ago. I never heard anyone losing weight on it. I did ask about it at my health food store and they said that anything Dr Oz puts on tv is bought out right away and not able to keep it stocked on the shelves. The woman rolled her eyes as if it was a dumb thing.

I put this right up there with garcinia cambogia, green coffee extract, and raspberry ketones.

So far Dr Oz has found over 15 weight loss pills and yet there is still an obesity problem in America. Makes ya wonder, eh?

Oh and you won't find Dr Oz making claims about how "magical" a pill is for losing weight ever again.

Well like I said I am not really interested in it for what it does for weight loss. There are research articles stating it helps the CNS with repair particularly the hypothalamus and pituitary and for balancing hormones and that is something I do have a problem with. I saw that it does have an affect on the immune system so I am concerned that it may not be a good idea to use while trying another protocol.

If you are looking for an herbal to take for CNS, etc., I would turn to lyme herbalists that are in the know.

There are doctors that have put a lot of research and time into finding proven things that work.

Just my 2 pennies.
