It's first time for me, but I do think this stuff is causing me some type of herxes.

Recommended dose is only 1/2 cup for sensitive people. It tastes almost nothing, so I took 3 cups yesterday.
I gave one to my husband, one to my daughter.

After some hours, my husband was complaining of knee pain, and truly, I was also with pain on my sinuses and in my right elbow.

Later in the evening, I felt my liver getting heavier.

I got some stinging pains in my head, nothing bad, but that was strange.

I'm taking it again today, just to see. I think one cup does nothing, two a bit, but from three on, that is when I started feeling something.

It could be a coincidence, though, as I was taking some homeopathic antimicrobials until yesterday (but they were feeling like doing nothing, so I stopped them today).

Has anyone got experience with horsetail?

I have used it because of the silica for my hair.

It is also used for fluid retention - like kidney problems, UTI's.

I only used it for my hair.

No problems for me.

Thank you Daisies and PeteZa.

Were you on teas, decoctions, tinctures?

I'm sure this is causing me and hubby to have stinging joint pain.

We do not have lyme (he never had, and my lyme arthritis did not come back in the last 7 years, but I do have some candida arthritis that comes and goes), I think our joint problems are from candida or other pathogens...

We are clearly reacting, not immediately after intake, but a couple of hours after.

I'm taking tea (from fresh horsetail)...

I did capsules.

silica is good to chelate aluminium out of the brain and other organs... possibly other metals too.
Look up Professor Christopher Exley research. But start slow to avoid large redistributions...

Thank you guys.

I guess Dmitri is right somehow, it could be some heavy metals chelating...

But funny thing is that I take Diatomaceous earth, that is EXTREMELY rich in selenium and never had any such reaction. It feels like almost nothing, I can take 2,3, 4 spoons a day, no reaction.

It could be that the type of selenium there is better than DE?
That my body is indeed taking that selenium and then chelating stuff like aluminium?

I'm needing chlorella, for sure, that binds to heavy metals.
Chlorella is solving part of the headache problem.

I read that Horsetail is very much used for arthritis. I do have bits of arthritis, that is probably from candida.

so it could be herxes too...

Horsetail is making my cheekbone hurt a bit (I know I have some candida in there, because I reacted to candida nosodes recently), it gives me a very strange headache (like stinging my brain), it loads my liver (I'm upping my favorite liver supplement)..

On the other hand, when this all is cleared, I feel I am more energetic.

One thing is right: I'll take maximum 2 cups a day and watch.
