Anyone know of one?

Just read a study by Mayo Clinic that showed a large dose of 2000 mg daily of American Ginseng showed little advantage after 4 weeks BUT at the 8 week mark showed a great advantage over placebo for cancer fatigue.

I think its worth trying it. Has anyone done this? Of course will discuss with MD and pharmacy first.

Looking for reputable, economical source.....

Krissi,

I've emailed you a link to the company I use to buy my "snake oil". At your 2000mg dose their house brand American Ginseng costs $0.75 a day.

Or you could find someone here in the midwest who has woodland and knows how to find wild ginseng root in the woods.

Would that be you Halbert? Do you really know how to do that? Seems like it would be very labor intensive.

Kukukajoo, I know guys who hunt ginseng in the woods around here, usually in the fall. These are the same guys who go after Morels in the spring and hen-of-the-woods in the summer.

Do they charge a lot for it, or do they even sell to the public or buyers of ginseng?

I always wanted to get a huge patch growing in the woods of NH by my old house but never had the chance. from what I understand it can take a few years to establish.
