Re: goldenseal / was Re: REALLY desperate for some help! Screaming fits,

December 28, 2006

I find my son (42 lbs) needs WAY less than the doseage on the bottle. It comes

in capsule and liquid. We use the liquid. I think the instructions say up to

15 drops, 2x/day. We do 5 drops/1x/day (in the a.m.) and probiotics in the

afternoon. It really seems to be keeping his yeast at bay longterm. This is

the 1st time anything has done this for him. FYI: It tastes terrible - very

bitter. You will probably need to mask it w/juice, honey or something.

appear to be under control, it is clear that he retained the gains

that he made on the Valtrex. I'm undecided if we are going to go

back on or not.

also really concentrating on getting a high count of probiotics in

him because his latest lab showed an absence of any good bacteria.
