Jason - my husband uses a lot of NOW brand supplements...and feels they are good quality. But, with supplements, we can't always tell if they're working.
For lyme and co's - treatment herbs - I do prefer to stick with the ones on Buhner's recommended list. I have used Woodland Essence and Sage Woman Herbs from his list of sources...both seemed to be quality tinctures.
I posted recently in a thread what he said were his top six sources:
Woodland Essence
Montana Pharmacy
Green Dragon Botanicals
Zack Woods Herb Farm
Healing Spirits Herb Farm
Pacific Botanicals.
I recently ran out of Hawthorne...didn't need any other tinctures...so not wanting to pay for shipping for one tincture.
Went to our local Health Food store and bought one that is a small company...thinking it would be good.
I knew right away it wasn't good. It didn't have that kinda sweet, berry/flower flavor.
It was bitter.
