Re: Dosing andrographis. INTERACTIONS

[Guest guest]

hola, my experience is that i always have to be alert to interactions, not

just with certain protocols. i raised this issue a few times in the past on

this list. for instance, Message #885, which has a long list of possible

interactions with sasaparilla and mentions this resource for checking

interactions between prescriptions and some herbs and foods:

www.drugdigest.org but it has very few herbs.

and in my intro, i mention that doc prescribed melatonin (for insomnia) and

herb withania somnifera--i had severe reaction to the combination, almost

comatose. i had to discover on my own that it was these two causing it--doc

was no help at all.

so i've become very cautious about mixing herbs, otc, and/or prescriptions.

if others know of good resources for checking interactions between meds,

herbs, supplements, and foods, i'd appreciate suggestions.

gratefully,

kendra

You do have a really good point here about interactions. But maybe we

need to worry about it only if we are mixing certain protocol ...
