Thanks for this link. It's nice to see someone go beyond the few most common herbs.

The herbs listed can be very helpful support - I've used all but one. These will not at all address the infection, however, just to be clear. Still, without the help of many of these I never would have made it this far. It's best to work with a LL ND (naturopathic doctor) or LL L.Ac. (acupuncturist) as individualized treatment is best.

Astragalus is not to be used by those with chronic infections, unless as a small part of a balanced formula.

No problem Keebler. I would responded sooner, but have been off the computer since I posted this. Haven't had a very good couple of days.

Curious - where do you find the herbs to buy or did you get them through your doctor?

It is best to have professional LL guidance in this. Several sets of links over here explain more about that:
