If I could tolerate creptolepis, it could kill three birds with one stone, keeping the parasitic/protozoan/c. diff. infections I struggle with suppressed until that magical, mysterious day when my immune system decides to work right.

Does anybody know, or know of an information source that would say, whether cryptolepis loses its antimicrobial punch over time, and if so, how much time?

Cryptolepis has really helped my day and night sweats.
After I finished my 1st bottle, I went without it and my sweats returned within 1 week. I've been on it for 3 months now.

Really nasty tasting, I hate taking it but it works for me.

I don't know the answer to your question but you might be able to find it on Buhner's archived cryptolepis site;

according to Buhner herbs do not lose effectiveness due to bacteria developing resistance in the same way that they can in reaction to antibiotics.

he also believes it's safe to take long term
as its taken long term in malaria-endemic areas of Africa without ill effects
