Re:andrographis- short term only & not w/ MS

[Guest guest]

I think that do not take for more than 10 days is one of those manufacturers

safety warnings, like just in case, kind of like the drug warnings on

prescription drugs. As for not taking it with autoimmune issues, I think a lot

of

the people getting chronic long term problems from Lyme do have prior immune

system problems. I had asthma , allergies as well as rheumatoid arthritis

years before the much worse Lyme arthritis. A lot of the herbs react a lot

more volatile. Andrographis as well as cats claw (smilax) had to be started

slower for me then Buhner recommended. I got very bad joint pain when I first

started taking the herbs, possible Herxheimer reactions, but I stuck it out

and after many month they do not cause pain and misery anymore, they actually

help. As for me, i will probably stay on them even longer than recommended,

since I started slower, so I personally would completely disregard that labe

and listen to the herbalists like Buhner instead. Just my opinion.
