Re: Dear HV, please help

  Hello hv! Your one of the few people on here whos opinion i trust and ive found no help in the actual sarcoidosis forum. Was wondering if maybe you could tell me some herbs i could use to treat my condition of sarcoidosis? Mine is all in the chest area of my body. (lungs heart lymph nodes) I was hoping you knew anything about this disease that could help. Thanks in advance!

Sarcoidosis is an autoimmune condition.  Doctors often mistake autoimmunity for an overactive immune system when it is actually related to immune suppression through the adrenals.  I have more details in my Autoimmunity write up:

Sarcoidosis often elevates prolactin levels as well leading to other issues.  Dopamine is an antagonist to prolactin so I recommend supplementing with tyrosine to help increase dopamine levels.  I recommend 1g three times daily at least 30 minutes before meals.

For the inflammation involved I recommend focusing both on licorice root and yucca root.  Both also help support adrenal function, which is essential in autoimmune conditions.
