Title: Anyone using Kudzu?
Post by kev on Feb 22nd, 2013 at 4:38pm
I have not responded to shrooms, seeds or vitamin d regimen, so now I am trying Kudzu.

Thankfully, I haven't had to use it in a while, but I believe there are some people having success with it. How are you using it? (dosage, etc)

Hey Kev,

Sorry you're having a rough time.  Please shoot me a PM with what you've been taking along with the vitamin D3 on the anti-inflammatory regimen.  It would also be helpful to know about any other medical problems and any medications you're taking because of them.

Perhaps we can figure out why this regimen is not working for you.

Take care and hang in there.

V/R, Batch

And that goes back a couple of years  ;)

Doing well, I trust?

Kev,

I have not been on it for several years.  It worked very well for me until I had to go off of it for about 3 months due to conflict with another medical treatment.  When I started it again it didn't work for me.  I've been considering restarting again if I go back into high cycle and give it another try.

I used Nature's Way Kudzu because it is standardized at 613 mg, so you get a consistent dosage every time, unlike others that I tried.  I started purchasing it locally, but had trouble getting it consistently as the store I bought from ordered infrequently.  I started using START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE and was blown away by their service.  I ought to buy stock in their company as many people as I've sent their way! ;)  One weekend I found I had mixed an empty bottle in with my full ones and I ran out.  I called them on a Friday afternoon after their shipping cutoff, and the young lady who took my call ran out to the warehouse and personally boxed and shipped my order just before UPS picked up to be sure I would not run out.  She even shipped it for Sat delivery w/o extra charge.  Get it where ever you want, makes no difference to me, but I like to share the good experience I had with them.

I took one capsule with each meal and when I was in high cycle (I'm chronic) I would take an extra one at bed time.  It worked as well as Verap and Lithium but with out the side effects.

Hope this is helpful.  Shoot me a PM if you have questions or want to talk about it.  I'll PM you my phone number.

Jerry
