Hey kids,
I am one of those episodics that get out of the loop cause we feel so dam normal for awhile.
what brings me back is a question about another fixer. This one my mother gleaned from something she read or saw on TV.
It is called Kudzu. I read a wee bit about it, but I always get the real scoop here.

If you will go to the Meds and Treatments section of the board you can find a couple of good threads on Kudzu.  Nani had one up some time ago that was quite extensive.  

I've been using Kudzu for the last couple of years instead of Verap and Lithium because I get about the same preventative action without all of the bad side effects I was getting with the others.

Research it extensively before you try because as with all herbals there is little or no regulation for quality or strength.  You can find some recommendations on the above mentioned thread.  Personally, I'm using Nature's Way Kudzu Root.  I was getting it at a local health food store (organic), but recently started getting it online for about 2/3 of the price.

PM me if you would like any other help. (No, I do not sell it or have any interest in it)
