I've read this on Buhner's site and the comments are quite concerning. Anyone had problems with Crytolepsis? http://buhnerhealinglyme.com/herbs/cryptolepsis-and-cipro/

A while back I posted a link from the NIH in which Crypto was very effective in treating Maleria. Maybe these symptoms these people were having are just herxes and Crypto is safe?

Thank you!

I've been taking 30 drops 3x/day for a few months and no issues at all. I am having issues with Alchornea it's giving me diarrhea at 15 drops 3x/day so I'm backing off and may stop.

I started Cryptolepis in August of last year and have had no problems. Yes, I herxed on it quite a bit in the beginning and it took 4 months to titrate up to the full dose because I didn't want herxing to impact my life too much.

I've been doing fine on it since with no herxing and never had any adverse effects.

I have no idea... I just started taking the CSA 5 days ago, and 2 days in I was getting my immune system kicking in hard, feelings of burning all over and kind of fluish. Then I felt better since.

I misread the instructions and quit taking it after 30 days. I had problems then!! Now I am back up to 1 dropper 3x a day and doing fine. I will continue taking it for the next 4-5 months and who knows, maybe longer. But definitely for the 4 month life cycle of a red blood cell and then 30 days after that point.

I think the problem with ciprofloxacin is that it is a fluoroquinolone. It is the fluorine molecule "...floxicin" which causes the more toxic side effects, not the fact that it is a topoisomerase inhibitor.

With higher doses we started to find some hair loss.
