Re: buhner herbs / abx

[Guest guest]

I was told NOT to take Samento with Flagyl, as it has alcohol in it and

could get very sick from it, shouldn't even use cold medicines or

mouthwash??

Does Teasel have any alcohol in it?

Samento is an alcoholic extract from catsclaw, you could use bulk catsclaw

powder or encapsulated pills instead. I guess Teasel also exists both as

powder/pills and alcoholic extracts.

I'm not aware of serious problem when using a little bit of alcohol when on

flagyl. If you take e.g. 30 drops of samento, the amount of alcohol is pretty

low. Most Lymies have trouble with alcohol, but for me about half a glas of wine

is OK usually. As long as you stay below that I would not expect real trouble.

Not sure about that though ...
