Paradoxical rxn

[Guest guest]

Speaking of paradoxical reactions, why besides having a luetic miasm,

do people react opposite to herbs etc. I was treating a slightly

neurotic patient expressing with high stress, nervous reactive

symptoms. " stressy feeling " as she called it, felt creepy crawly. She

had tried calming herbs and sleep herbs in the past but they had the

opposite affect. Revved her up or no affect. She is also very

sensitive to many rx drugs. I did an ASI and her night time cortisol

was very high, with suppressed morning cortisol, after being on

Rhodiola for years

(high potent brand as well) I had her use Seriphos and it completely

revved her up with insomnia and palpitation and high blood pressure

(which she was normally medicated for the BP) to the point where she

went to the hospital. Just curious as to why people react this way. It

has to be more than a liver issue. I tried her on NS undas 2 drops 2x a

day, but after one dose said she couldnt tolerate the alcohol.

Just curious as to these type of reactions and how others may proceed.

Thanks
