zooii,

First let me say that I am no expert in the field of bloodroot. However, I started taking black salve tablets about 2 months ago (which has bloodroot as one of its main ingredients) and received quite a bit of helpfull advice from a local vitamin store owner. He said that if you get sick, queazy, nouseous etc...from taking it, it is a very good sign. He said that means you really need it and that you are killing off a lot of bad guys. If you need to drop the dosage and slowly work up to a more standard dose than go ahead and do that.

My personal experience was I immediatly had a huge flare up in my skin problems and got extreme flu/cold symptoms with fatigue for 2+ weeks. I would be nouseous for about 1 hour after taking each dose. After 2 weeks everything got a lot better and I had 4 weeks of extreme healing. I'm 5 weeks out now and am recovering from a few days of more flare up. I've been told that it's normal for the body to heal itself in layers and not to worry if symptoms return like this a few times. I no longer get nouseous at all from the pills.

My advice to you is stick it out. Reduce the dosage if you need but don't give up on it.

Good luck!!

When I first started taking it, a tiny little bit would make me really nauseaus and give me diahhrea. But it also relieved the itching and the arthritic-like pain that was preventing me from turning my head, so I decided to endure the nausea and diahhrea because I was told that they were die-off symptoms, and feeling bad was an indication that my system was toxic.

The more I have continued to cleanse, the better I feel, and the milder reaction I have when I do a bloodroot regimen.

I have read there are people who take some once a month, just to be sure their system is still clean.

If it makes you feel sick, it is apparently because it is cleaning you out. But of course, there isn't enough Science for anyone to be sure, exactly, what is happening. We can only go by our personal experiences.

If it hadn't relieved my itching, my cough and my neck pain, I doubt I would have kept taking it because it made me sooooooo sick.

When I first began taking it, I had to endure terrible nausea with every dose. I went through this for over a year. I can now take 4 times the amount I was originally taking, without any nausea. I still feel a little tired and sluggish, however. And I can tell it is still working on getting rid of some toxicity that is in my lungs because I cough stuff up. One the tired sluggish feeling passes and the coughing subsides, I have a lot of energy, feel very good, clear headed and vibrant.

Bloodroot has a reputation for being an effective remedy if you have viruses or cancer. I saw on the parasite forum that you have taken wormseed oil, and felt no ill effects. What are your symptoms? What made you decided to try bloodroot? It sounds like it is definitely cleaning up something in your system that needs to go. Bloodroot made me horribly ill, but it had no ill effects on my mother. I had die off symptoms from wormseed and from bloodroot. It sounds like you may have found the remedy that addresses your ailment. Bloodroot is a difficult protocol. I also believe it saved my life and it was worth it. Can you take some time off work, or cut your hours in half for a while? It would have been very difficult for me to get through the past year, if I'd had to work full time and go through it. Mornings were the worst. I cut way back during the day because it made me so sick. I could take more at night, so I slept through most of the die off fatigue. Lying down made the nausea go away more quickly during the day. I'd get up several times in the night and take more. Keep water by the bed and drink it. Keep eye drops by the bed in case your eyes itch or get dry. Breathe deep and pray. Pray Pray Pray. It really helps.

To help mitigate the effects of bloodroot when taken orally, I would suggest taking less then 1 gram or 1,000mg most people seem to tolerate about 750mg with no adverse reactions, this is archived by eating a heavy meal when taking the herb, eat about half of the meal take the bloodroot eat the other half of the meal one should not feel any side effects from the herb, but if in fact one does eat more food.

Contraindication

Contraindication from internally use: bloodroot should note be used if one is pregnancy, has high blood pressure, esophageal varicis, hiatus hernia, gastritis of peptic ulceration, and recent consumption of central nervous system stimulants. Use of emetics for more than three to four days can produce a serious medical condition if the assimilation of fluids is disrupted. This can lead to dehydration and severe electrolyte imbalances. Continual retching action from chronic emesis will strain the abdominal, gastric, and diaphragm muscles causing severe cramping and potential development of hernias.

Bloodroot used internally should not be administered to unconscious or deeply sedated individuals or in the event of convulsions, since bloodroot may cause aspiration of the gastric contents resulting in obstruction of the air passages.
