Yes, I've asked this in different ways, because there is more talk about HH than people using it maybe (?)

So I might get different reponses- obviously a good thing .

thanks

I did Houtt tincture. I did one drop and slowly went up until I was at a full dropper full, 3 times a day.

Absolutely no problem with it.

I started taking Hout last May. I could have had some increase in sx in June then gradually improved.
I also take ACV, GSE, Cat's Claw, Jap Knotweed, and CSA for a good length of time. Just added Takuna last month and see more improvements. I can't say I've experienced any dramatic changes (good or bad) from using herbals. But I keep taking them and experimenting with new ones since they have worked well for many folks.

I currently pulse Ceftin and Bactrim 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off.

Whenever I add in Houttuynia, it kicks my arse!!! The first 2 weeks, I'm a little "herxy" a few days each week, but week 3, I better have my detoxing up to the right level or I'm completely miserable with the herx from he//!!

I may be in the minority on this, just as I am with my Lyme treatments, though.

Tickbite666 how many drops of Takuna are you taking? I'm on that too and have had to ramp up slowly. I'm now taking 5 drops, 3x a day.

I actually started a post on this last weekend, right after I started taking it. I'll put the link below. basically, it's kicking my arse (as Traveler said). I started Saturday morning at 1 drop. It is Wednesday and I am only at 2 drops. By *far* the slowest I've been able to increase an herb.

I was super tired, sweating profusely when i shouldn't, saw some bart. scratch rash stuff, and felt it in my head ... turn but it is subsiding now after days of detox and I will be ready to increase again.

Krimpet,

First dose of Takuna I did just two drops to test it. I then went to a full dropper 2x day. Now up to 2 droppers 2x/day. The rest of my herbals are also full droppers, except Hout that I do 3 droppers per dose.

I have a real hard time getting any of my herbal tinctures mid day, because that's when I took my probiotics just before lunch.

Ok. I'm officially jealous 😊.
