Re: Bugs vs. Immunity -- Mike

[Guest guest]

Hi Mike,

I take it orally. Have tried opening capsules and holding them in my mouth --

very

puckering, sour quality, but not too bad. Interestingly the triphala really

stains the tongue

-- seems to stick to the thrushy coating and hang on for dear life. Also stains

the teeth,

so I'm just swallowing them for now.

No side effects except if one takes too much the stool can get a little loose.

There is a lot of information on triphala on the net. It is one of the main

ayurvedic

medicines, and yes, I do believe it works both in the gut and systemically. It

also has

antioxidant properties.

Hope this helps,

d.

Your describing staining? This is used in microbiology as a tool to

actually see bacteria under the microscope. When staining you may

have the ability to stop bacteria multiplying puttiong a wedge in

there mechanisms of reproduction.Iodine is a staining material that

also kills bacteria.
