Hi ladies,

Does anyone else get electrical like pains? I have a couple different types I get and they have not changed so far yet in treatment - almost 2 years.

One is I get the leg into foot buzzing when I am having a VV flare. Like my vag, leg and foot have an electrical current running through them on top of the buring etc.

Another type is the quick short shock almost like a bee sting or a zap - this can occur anywhere on my body - hand, finger, butt, toe, foot and it will zap then zap a few minutes later on and on.

What brand of rhodiola is everyone using at the moment? Having a difficult time with reflux and wondering if could be related to the rhodiola I'm using and I can't find EI in stock anywhere. Thanks for your input!

I need to order and don't know what is safe or recommneded. Lost track of the brand names. I think I remember GNC which is easy for me to get. Any news on Eclectic Institute?

Hi everyone!

I'm 39 1/2 weeks pregnant (due this Saturday, August 30th!), and my midwife just suggested that I begin using evening primrose oil (capsules either taken orally or inserted vaginally or both) to help my cervix begin softening. I looked up reviews online and found that 9 out of 10 women who tried this swear by it, so naturally I am eager to try it as well!

I've had this question for a while and keep meaning to ask Boaz during my appointments but always forget! Can someone offer some insight as to why we take the probiotics at the same time as our cleansing herbs? I remember reading, way back, from some patients from several years ago that they took theirs a few hours away from the herbs, so as not to kill the good bacteria in the probiotics. But now we're instructed to take everything at the same time. I've always heard this is what you should do when taking antibiotics, even from Western docs.

SF causing chest pain and burning feeling in chest. Not heart burn but almost like I just ran a couple miles... That burn feeling from working out. Has anyone else experienced this? I am sort of freaking out bc I work in cardiology and these are the same symptoms of a PE (pulmonary embolism) but I am really low risk for that. 

Hi, all. Firstly, this is the first time I've posted in a long time on the forum and am so happy to see all thte activity on here. This site, forum, and the success stories are the reason I chose this path to healing. It seems so cool to be an active part of it now during treatment and makes me smile thinking that someday, down the road, someone who's looking for help might read one of my old posts or even my success story and be encouraged (I'm not there yet....just daydreaming!)

Feel free to add your own!

1. Always have bags of frozen veggies- i particularly use broccoli and broccoli rabe and kale. You will be more likely to throw some of them in with eggs, meat etc if you have it around. Less waste I find.

2. Buy lots of extra pairs of gloves to wear while doing dishes or cleaning- mine get holes easily and it is important not to let stuff touch your hands. Also keep a large box of disposable gloves for putting sunblock on your kids etc.

I've been on oil of oregano for some time but have a question about what you all use.. super strength or the regular? I used regular since forever, but bought super strength during my last order without paying attention. It's time to order again and I am just wondering what others use and does it matter? I don't notice a change in symptoms but wondering if there is a big difference?
