warning about sarsaparilla(smilax)

[Guest guest]

My acupuncturist is from China and is very knowledgeable about herbs.

he said to be careful with sarsaparilla, because it can be toxic. Some

of you said you were herxing on it. Is it a herx or is it toxicity?

Just want people to be careful. Annie S.

My LLMD has me taking a tincture of sarsparilla for detoxing purposes.

I put a dropperful in my Yogi detox tea each AM. It seems to be

working well.

Buhner is not from China, I don't think, but he IS very knowledgeable about

herbs. He states in his " healing Lyme " book that it can cause Intestinal Upset

IF taken in very large doses. Otherwise it is an excellent herb to take whether

you have Lyme or not. As it is good for MANY things besides Lyme healing.

HI, Anne, I'm bunni, I'm actually taking a break from my 'killer'

herbs. I wasn't sure whether to take a break from the sarsaparilla or

not. the reason I'm doing this is because I got alot better for

awhile, but then I got really sick again and have not been able to get

better since. I have been thinking about seeing an acupuncturist for

awhile. Does yours mix your acupuncture with his own concoction of

herbs (like a really bitter tea)? i known of some that do that and

then some that don't. i was wondering if one would even need to do

buhner's herbs if they were already doing acupunturist's herbs. Have

you had much success from acupuncture? My main problem is very

profound fatigue. I've always kind of assumed that acupuncture can

help pain, but not fatigue, at least not the ridiculous kind that I

have. AM I totally wrong about that? thanks, bunni. PS I'm going to go

ahead and take a break from sarsaparilla just in case.

I can't understand WHY some of you people STOP Buhner's recommended herbs when

you feel worse. I would think, and certainly would myself, take MORE of them

and add his expanded protocols too. I would hate to think where I would be IF I

had stopped. Ugh!

I think about cutting down more almost every day but am scared to as i know I

am not cured yet. I sure don't want to ruin all I have gained the past 15

months.
