Hey! There's no kink at that link.  
There is some really good information, though.  LOL
Thanks to everyone who made themselves guinea pigs to test this treatment.

Hi, After reading all these posts about Kudzu, I thought I'd give it a go.
I am 2 weeks into a new cycle and I am desperate for anything to help break the cycle. I do use Oxygen to help abort attacks. I am off to france next week and can't take the O2 on the plane and can't arrange for O2 in france because of the cost.
So I have bought some Kudzu from my local health shop and it comes in 500mg tablets. It is a mix of extract and root with 1% dia... something? Instructions say take 2 tablets daily and not to exceed dose.
My question is, what is the best dosage? I see most of you the US can get 750mg tablets and are talking about taking 3-4 tablets a day. Can I safely ignore the max dose... and take 4-6 tablets a day? I had 3 yesterday - my first day and seemed OK.
Thanks

Hi Max. Welcome. Sorry it took so long, but I've been off the board or a few days.
You can probably increase the number of tablets you are taking without ill effects, but go cautiously, just in case. Here's a link to a kudzu FAQ:

Keep us posted, OK?
pain free wishes, nani

Hi Nani,
Thanks for that info.
I was getting 5-6 attacks during the eve/night before I started on the Kudzu on Sunday this week, the first night was no different, then Monday night only had 1 attack before waking up, then Tuesday completely PF and last night had two mild ones, aborted with O2. I am taking 4 tablets a day, later in the day and before bed. So there's a chance it could be working for me??? I'll complete the survey next week.
Max

After reading this tread, I'm going to give Kudzu a try.
Yesterday was my first day off verapamil and I got a k7 around 10:30 last night. Verapamil worked great for my CH, but due to edema I had to decrease and stop all together.
Today I started taking Taurine and a Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc Supplement. Will adding Kudzu to the mix cause any interactions? I've read that some have tried this, I just want to make sure there are no negative interactions taking all at the same time.

i'm back, so that means i'm in another cycle. it was about 6 months PF.
do you think the kudzu can lose its effectiveness after taking it regularly? after my last cycle, which kudzu helped me out of thank you very much, i started taking 2 planetary full spectrums every morning as a preventative. so i've hit another cycle, and i started eating kudzus like crazy (maybe 8-16 a day). i haven't had any super serious headaches, but they're there everyday. the past 2 days they have gotten a bit worse. is it possible i'm building up a resisitance?

Been taking Kudzu for a week now and I don't think it is working. I am getting slammed hard. 
How long before it takes effect?

midwestbeth, when i first started taking it, it took 1-2 weeks (can't remember exactly) before it really had a strong effect. but i did notice it taking the edge off within a few days.
on another note.... has anyone experienced a rash breakout due to taking kudzu? this is my second cycle using kudzu, and i'm getting quite the lil rash. the first cycle i used it on, i had a similar reaction, but wasn't sure if it was the kudzu or not. still not sure, but it seems like a strange coincidence. am i possibly allergic? taking too much? right now i'm taking about eight 750mg pills a day (although i was taking about sixteen a day there for awhile).

I started taking Nature Way kudzu two capsules three times a day the first week in June. After two days I started getting some relief. On Wednesday of the second week of June I was PF and have been basically PF since. I have had a couple of breakthroughs and some shadows, but nothing higher than a K3, and then only when I forgot the meds for a couple of days. I haven't had anything for the last three weeks. The first week in August I cut my dosages down to two capsules twice a day and had no more attacks. For me Kudzu has worked better than Verap and Lithium combined, and without ANY side effects. After being chronic for over three yrs and episodic for almost 25 I say Kudzu is a Godsend. Nani, I owe you a BIG one, and can't wait to meet you personally to thank you in person for what you have done with this.

Sorry to dash your hopes, but it was not the kudzu that killed the beast this time. It is a preventative, not an abortive. Fromthe timing of your posts I would gather that it just ended. It took about two days before I started seeing improvement, but them the improvement was rapid in the reduction of hits and the reduction of severity.
You will need to get on aregimen of dosing, and stay with it pretty regularly at least to start. I took 2 in the am, 2 midday, and 2 in the evening. It helps too if you take it on an empty stomach. It seems to be absorbed more quickly and fully. The price seems a bit high to me, even with the exchange rate difference. I only pay $10.00 US for it. If you will look back on this tread I believe you will find where you can order it online at a substantial savings.
I hope your success with it is as complete and striking as mine has been.
Jerry

its 1:40am I woke up about 5 mins ago with some more pain I should have taken it the second time today but for the first time in 4 weeks I had a good couple hour sleep 
I was looking around online and most places even within canada said $6-10 but I was in a hurry to get some.....if I payed shipping from the states it would probably be another $10 and if I went to toronto thats $28 but I am going to toronto on oct 4th for the big Intel/Microsoft Channel Conference
tommorow I will call around and see if I can get it any cheaper but well well well was the only place I could find that was not to far and open sunday
and thanks jerry and lisa
