Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Thanks for this insight! It makes sense and is reassuring. judy On Sep 2, 2010, at 1:51 PM, Robyn Polashuk wrote: > I recently learned something interesting, about which I'm not sure if the group is aware.

Of course, the same goes for many other medications (like ABX and supplements). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 How your digestion is working and overall body burden/toxic load can effect how you react too. I notice I am very sensitive to medication - slow detoxification I think, but I also digest poorly, so although I'm over the 170 rule of thumb I'm not sure full dose would be tolerable for me. > > I recently learned something interesting, about which I'm not sure if the group is aware.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 So in your opinion... what would someone who is 140 lbs do? 3x3? 2x3? > > I recently learned something interesting, about which I'm not sure if the group is aware.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 > > So in your opinion... what would someone who is 140 lbs do? > > 3x3? 2x3? the idea is to average out over the day as good as possible. So if instead of the maximum of 4 pills 4 times a day, you take 3 pills (or 2 pills) 4 times a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 According to our LLMD you can take the full dose if tolerated. You may need to take longer to increase the dose (e.g., bump it up every 2-4 weeks, instead of every week) My daughter is 100 pounds, she took this road and has been taking the full dose for more than 3 months. She is doing much much better (started the protocol in mid-March). She also takes adrenal and liver support and probiotics. Good diet is crucial too.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 And do you guys takethe herbs with any other of your supplements? Magnesium, minerals, vitamins? at 1stchineseherbs just told me, " absolutely you want to stretch the dosages out all day. Makes sense. I was just taking everything at breakfast lunch and dinner(supplements included) so I'm sure this did a number to my stomach. But I stopped the herbs 2 days ago and am still having constipation? How long does it take for the effects of, say stephania, to leave the body? Thanks again guys. Between you guys and lymenet... Life becomes a lil easier : ) > > > > So in your opinion... what would someone who is 140 lbs do? > > > > 3x3? 2x3? > > the idea is to average out over the day as good as possible.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I can't get it right. Between work and taking herbs, abx, supps and probiotics I can barely fit a meal in. I am def herxing hard right now. On mepron and constipation so bad makes me crazy. I would love to write a book " the power of poohing. " Hands hurt so bad hard to type. Finding keeping my chin up exhausting. Nice to see other people get challenged by this. Keep trying to live large!
