Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 As far as the licorace, doesn't it raise your blood pressure? Doesn't DGL licorace lack the ingredient that raises your blood pressure, but still help fatigue? Thank you!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Licorice root supports adrenals and is antiviral. Taken excessively, it can raise blood pressure, but for me that is a good thing. Dr Baschetti uses it in his successful CFS protocol. DGL helps with digestive issues only. Doesn't affect fatigue. mjh Posted by: " sb2boys " _sb2boys@... _ (mailto:sb2boys@...?Subject= Re:%20What's%20good%20for%20fatigue?--Wendi) _sb2boys _ (sb2boys) Fri Jan 12, 2007 6:19 pm (PST) As far as the licorace, doesn't it raise your blood pressure?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Wendi You are confusing licorice root and DGL. DGL does not raise blood pressure, it helps the gut only. mjh Posted by: " Wendi Carrillo " _tres_gatos87801@... _ (mailto:tres_gatos87801@...?Subject= Re:%20What's%20good%20for%20fatigue?--Wendi) _aerobaby87801 _ (aerobaby87801) Fri Jan 12, 2007 7:58 pm (PST) Hey Sue - DGL raises blood pressure if you have a tendency for high blood pressure, but I, like many other CFS'ers have low blood pressure. Not a problem for me to take. I've heard that DGL won't do much for adrenal fatigue, but again, just what I heard. -Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I use DGL licorice for digestion sometimes. Never noticed a boost.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 No, DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice) is deglycyrrhizinated precisely so that it WON't cause a rise in BP.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Some researcher said that if you have high BP, then you don't have CFS-maybe Cheney but not sure. So regular Licorice should be OK for most of us. I am one of the few w/ 6 different 'CFS' diagnoses who has/had high BP, but I found regular licorice (Biasatti brand) to initially make me feel much better.
