- I've been studying this for while and it's next on my list.
There was a thread a while back - someone said it really helped them. You may need to spell Rain-Tree with and without the hyphen but you'll probably find it here:

Polly, how long did you take that combo before stopping? And did you improve on it?
Thanks!!

I think i took it for several years. (I could check my notes.)
When i started, i also needed Artemisinin and Artemisia annua, to keep the symptoms down. A few times, if the symptoms didn't respond to all of those, i took Cryptolepis as a last resort back-up.
After half year or so, i stopped taking the Artemsmisinin and Atrtemisia annua.
I only took those herbs once day, as far as i remember. I took 1/4 teaspoon Coptis chinensis extract drops (i put it in hot water for 15 minutes to drive off the alcohol), and 1/2 teaspoon Elecampane drops (in hot water for 15 min to drive off the alcohol), 1300 mg of Noni pills (which i took 3x/day), plus the Raintree Amazon A-P--- i forget if i took it one or 3x/day with meals; could be 3x/day.
The Artemisinin and Artemesia annua of course are on an empty stomach, 2 1/2 hours before food. Your iron level should be high, for the Artemisinin to work well. Dr S says your ferritin level should test at 45. I doubt mine was ever that high!
Yes, it worked fairly well, it kept the symptoms down. Not a cure, though. That's how my body works---- not very sick, but never get well. It could be a result of how i take treatments---- enough to keep the symptoms down, but not aggressive enough to cure.

PS Now i remember that i took 1300 mg Raintree Amazon A-P , 3 x/day; that's 2 pills at each meal.
At one point i started taking 3 pills instead of 2 and thought it worked better; but people aren't supposed to take that much, because of some harsh herbs like Amargo which might be rough on your GI tract.
