A woman at the health food store recommended these for my fatigue and sleeplessness.

I'm not sure about this. Are you??

Be careful of astragalus with chronic lyme. It stimulates the Th1 cytokine pathway and can result in an increase of lyme symptoms (Buhner).

We use it, but only at low doses - 250mg 3x weekly. When used as suggested on the packaging huge herxes were the result for both my daughter and myself.

I found siberian ginseng to be estrogenic, causing breast swelling and heavy periods. This is probably not the case for everyone.

13 yo DX PANS/Tourette's/Asperger's/ADHD treated for Igenex positive bartonella/IND lyme with 2 years of abx treatment. Weaned off abx April 2013 at 80% improvement. Continuing with Buhner bartonella/babesia protocols. Aug 2014 99% improvement.

Astragalus triggered an auto-immune response in me. I avoid it.
