Any thoughts, anyone see improvement? I am waiting for mine to be shipped as it's in stock now....and wondering what's been your experience with it. I did a search but not too much response, I guess because it's new.

I tried it before I got my script for malarone...

I experienced die off after only 3 days; (and I was only on one drop!)... but it seemed tolerable.

I'm interested in learning others' experiences and if it took long to titrate the dosage up.

From what I've read and seen in some of the ILADS videos, one of the doc's (Dr. H) had success with

a patient he'd been treating for several years after treating them for only one month on it.

But that was at 1 tsp 3X/day.

I did very well on it. I've taken 1 tsp 3 times a day for a couple of months now along with malarone, and zith. THe first time I took it, was last year. I took it for two months and it really helped a lot. It totally cleared my light sensativity.

Any symptoms it did help, came back after a few months off of it. I don't think that by itself, it will eradicate babesia but I think in combination for extended periods it can support the killing off of the infection.

blinkie.. did you have to titrate up or did you just "go for it" with the 1 tsp 3x/day?

Always start slowly with any herb. One DROP is a good place to start for some herbs, some people but you'd have to get up to speed before too long so that a therapeutic dose can be achieved.

Buhner suggests 1 tsp. 2 x day, but I've heard of others who needed more for it to work for THEM.

Look over his answers at his website for some gauge.

You can only order three 4-oz. bottles at one time, IF in stock.

As it is hard to come by and is often out of stock, before embarking on a certain dose protocol, be sure you will have the amount you need on hand for a few weeks, at least, maybe longer. I'd hate to see success shopped short.

Just posted over at the thread: Where to buy Cryptolepis?
-------------------------------

http://www.woodlandessence.com/herbal.htm

WOODLAND ESSENCE - scroll down to find:

CRYPTOLEPIS sanguinolenta (as an alcohol tincture, the only form of this herb)

They are the only supplier at this time. (There used to be another source but they no longer carry it.)

It appears to be out of stock right now but do check back concerning availability - or call to get on the waiting list.

They have excellent customer service.

See the note explaining more about the maximum order for each customer on the order form - AND also a bit more detail of supply here:

(Cryptolepis is not discussed in his book "Healing Lyme" but that book is also very important for so many reasons.)

Well, I started at 20 drops two to three times a day. For me , it was to make sure I had no adverse reaction.

Then, I just went for it. But, I think I'm the exception to the rule because I've always tolerated all meds very well. I've rarely herxed hard enough to stop meds or any kind nor had bad side effects.

And...I'm hardcore! [Wink]

Thanks for all the info.....sounds encouraging so far. And thank you so much for your posts Keebler..Im thinking i should have ordered more than one bottle, but i intend to start slowly as I react severely to alot of things I've tried.

Money is so tight also. hopefully it will be back in stock when I need it.
