Houttuynia and other herbs long term?

Depends on the herb. Do you have Buhner’s books? He includes this information on most of the herbs.

I don’t know of any issues talking houttuynia long term

I've been taking Hout for the past 2 to 3 years. Other herbals like Cat's Claw and JK have been for much longer, and approaching 10 year mark for abx. As far as I can tell I do better when on it than off.

If it works keep taking it. Maybe take a month OFF trial to see how you react. Some of us here will need some minimum level of herbs and/or abx for the rest of our lives until a cure is finally found. At my last appointment I handed my list of herbs and supplement to my LLMD and asked what she thought I could eliminate to save some $$$. She responded with "Nothing". But if I needed to withdraw items, do it one at a time and slowly to see if any reactions. It's also good to rotate several expensive herbals and supplements to save money. This is different than pulsing abx, and should not build up resistance.

I was running low on IHA blend in February which I take 3 or 4 dropper fulls twice a day. At this dose it gets pretty pricey, so I decided to hold off re-ordering. After a month I had some neuro issues flare, so I'm back on it again. Maybe I try lipo OoO, but its also real good for Candida control so its a hard choice.

Hey Girlie.... doing pretty good, and maintaining at a 90 to 95% plateau. I still get occasional neuo sx flares when under heavy stress at work. Also been pretty much "homeless" since I demo'd my cottage last November just before Thanksgiving, and in process of re-building a larger home on same spot. Talk about stress !!!
