Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi I have been taking Maca for 5 years now, and think it has helped me tremendously. I had a hysterectomy when I was 50, and of course, this sent me straight into the menopause. This, coupled with many problems I suffered due to Hashimoto’s disease, made for a very difficult time! I found that Maca helped me to sleep. Before taking it I would wake up around 2am and only be able to sleep fitfully for the rest of the night so, consequently, I was desperately tired. Maca helped with this enormously and also relieved the severity of my hot flushes. I would not hesitate in recommending that you give it a try and hope that it can help you as much as it has helped me. If I can give you any more information please feel free to ask.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Margaret here. What is Macca ? What is it for? Where do you buy it? How much is it? Is it natural?

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I had a horrible reaction to maca. Some people with mercury problems (which was/is my problem) cannot take maca at all. So be careful if you have amalgams. Val I haven't tried it(yet), has anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 My first order came from tree-harvest.com. I have been taking it regularly for some time but can't say I've noticed any effect. I'm persevering, however. Mayber it's a matter of taking it with the right things -- see Dr 's Dynamite.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi Miriam, It made me feel absolutely awful. I gave it away to someone else so they could try it. I have heard that mercury affected people (such as with amalgams or had amalgams) may find this unsuitable. I had had mine removed some time before (maybe a year or so) at the time I tried it.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi All I've just been reading this thread about Maca, which goes back quite a while. Does anyone else have any experiences with maca? Sheila, i think you said you tried it - how did you get on with it? Was it any good? Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 > Does anyone else have any experiences with maca? Hi I have given Maca a fair try about a year ago. I took it for several months - and I can honestly say, I did not feel anything ... good or bad.... - maybe it's just me. I also gave it to my hypothyroid dog - same results ... I could not detect any change in him either. Best wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I also took Maca - with the same results as . I was not sure what to expect exactly, but nothing whatsoever changed that I noticed - but then, who knows, if I had not taken it, I might not be the cheery happy human being that I am - but then….

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi I found it quite horrible. It made me feel very ill, but I was having trouble with mercury at the time (soon after removal of amalgams), so bear this is mind if you have fillings or any chance of mercury poisoning. Val Does anyone else have any experiences with maca? Sheila, i think you said you tried it - how did you get on with it? Was it any good?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 My husband has it every single day on his oats and my sister also took it for a couple of years to help her through the menopause - both have found it to be exceptionally good for their particular needs. Wolfe a health guy on the net says that Maca is absolutely essential for someone with thyroid problems and I am beginning it myself so that I can do whatever it takes to get myself healthy again, since they messed with armour and have set me back 2 years at least. I am now up to 4.5 grains from 3 grains just 2 months ago and feel less well than I did then. Think perhaps today is the day to order something else, perhaps the generics that Nick recommended.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thanks everyone, it seems like people have mixed experiences with maca. i didn't read the replies until last night, by which time i'd bought a small amount to try. i tried it in the afternoon and did feel better. I will see how i go on it; i feel i need something in addition to cortef because i don't really feel like my adrenals are getting that much better. they are better but not as better as i would like. Maca supposedly acts as a tonic on the HPA system. Shomon interviewed an expert in maca and other south american herbs - she has some interesting things to say about it: http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/macaq & a.htm and http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/viana-muller-herbs.htm thank you chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 > > Hi Bee, > > I was wondering what your thoughts were on the root maca, it is from peru. Is it something that can also be taken alone with all the suppliments. Hi . No other kinds of supplements or treatments are needed, nor helpful, on my program. The reason is explained here: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php#s25 All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
