Q: I was wondering if you could supply andrographis paniculata, glycyrrhiza uralensis and forsythia suspensa?

A: Yes, you can go to www.eastearthtrade.com and order them in extract powders which is probably the most convenient to use and easiest to ship. Please

see the following links:

Reply: Oh my goodness, thank you so much, I can’t believe I missed these items.  Thank you so much.  I’m so excited by this medicine as I have MS and research on the PubMed website suggests these herbs are the most powerful anti-virals which seems a great way to tackle this disease.

Thank you again!

Best regards,

Q: Hi...Are there any side effects of Thyro-Forte? My Naturopathic Doctor wants me to take it even though my blood work shows no problems with my thyroid.  I have been taking it for about 1 week and I do have to admit feeling a lot better.  I actually have been having problems gaining weight, have skin problems, am in and out of depression, have had gallbladder and adrenal issues.  My naturopath feels very strongly that my thyroid is what is throwing everything out of balance.  I have tried everything else and nothing has helped me, therefore, I would like to continue the product.  However, if there is any side effect  I would really like to be made aware...thank you so much! J.M.

A: Thyroid tests indicate a range of normalcy. You can be high or low within the range and still be considered normal (to MD's). But the problem is that you still may have thyroid symptoms. I think this is why your naturopathic doctor wants you to try this formula. There shouldn't be any negative side effects as long as you take it as directed.

Q: Please send me information on product you have to relieve the intensity of Tremors.  My mother-in-law has had tremors for many years and no one has helped her.  I believe there must be a chinese herbal solution - I am certain you can help me.  Her tremors are so increasingly bad that she cannot hold her tea in a mug steady enough to drink it.  I hope you can help me.  She has tried beta blockers and that has not helped. Please respond as soon as you can.

 

A: Tremors is very difficult to treat whether with modern medicine or Chinese medicine. There are herbs that treat it but generally not in over-the-counter formulas. I suggest going to an acupuncturist who is also trained in Chinese herbs (most are) and seeking specific treatment there. They can create a formula specifically for your mother-in-law's condition. Please note though that treatment may take months or longer.
