Re: I am alive thanks to Bloodroot!
I took it for a month, felt much better, thought I was done and stopped taking it. About two months later my symptoms came back very quickly. Almost over night I was wheezing as badly as before I took it, and the pain was back. I immediately started taking it again, and stayed on it for 11 months.
It was difficult to find good information about how to use it, especially internally. The best advice I was given was to trust my body, because it would tell me what to do. I also heard that some people would slowly increase the dose over time, and it does not make you feel sick unless you have a toxic system. I needed to drink lots of water. When it stopped giving me diahrrea and nausea, I increased the dose again. Increasing the dose causes me to feel grief and fear. Sometimes the fear would be so intense I couldn't sleep and I'd pace the floors, stopping every so often to look in the mirror to make sure I was really OK.
I used homeopathic eye drops because it made my eyes dry.
I haven't tried the tea. I use it powdered and make my own capsules, mixing it with tumeric, goldenseal, milk thistle,
Wormwood , etc.
