Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Re message below from Donna. How many berries should one eat daily in place of the tablets as a preventative? I have access to them at home. I remember eating them as a child and pretending they were cheese! Jillymeg Jillymeg123@... From: " CountryGirl " <ruthful@...> Subject: Re: The Heart and Blood Reports Hi Wayne. Personally I would take as much hawthorne as I could tolerate for about six months. This is what Schulze did and was cured. He chewed the berries all day long ----- You can also make your own easily for alot less money. You can chew them but they have tiny little pits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hi Jillymeg. I am not an expert in this. I only know from personal experience that hawthorne makes me sleepy and so I would do the bulk of it in the evening. But Dr. Schulze said he chewed them all day long. I don't think you can really overdose on them because basically you would realize soon enough that you were sleepy and you could just back down. I suspect it is a very individual thing. Some people are so hyper adrenal that they can probably take huge amounts and not feel tired or sleepy. Others will tolerate much less. Which puts it into the scarey self responability realm. Smile. You just have to try some and figure it out for yourself and basically take as much as you can without feeling drugged all the time. Not a doctor and not prescribing, just sharing what I have done and what makes sense to me. Warmly Donna http://www.excellentthings.com Re: hawthorne berries Re message below from Donna.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 In connection to the hawthorn Berries. It is written on the label not to take it along with prescription medication digitalis..such as digitoxin,lanoxin and all other medication that are under this group. Digitalis is a heart medication that has a positive ionotropic effect, that is it increases the contractility of the heart muscles and is a drug of choice in conditions such as CHF(congestive heart failure) where the cardiac output is low. Digitalis also has a negative dromotropic effect, that is it decreases the conduction of the electrical impulses in the heart and overdosing on digitalis may lead to a heart block where the impulses no longer pass beyond the AV node into the ventricles, a life threatening condition. Hawthorn berries also have a similar effect and are good as it has a positive ionotropic effect but also decreases conductivity and may have to be taken in moderation. I am not an expert on the effects of Hawthorn berry, but Iwouldn't try to overdose on them. Reza CountryGirl <ruthful@...> wrote: Hi Jillymeg. I am not an expert in this.
