I have been taking Houttuynia and Cryptolepis for almost two months and only up to 11 drops a day of each. I take 4 drops in the morning and at lunch and then 3 drops at night. Every drop increase makes me sick for three days before it subsides. At this rate it will take me forever to get up to 1/4 teaspoon 3x a day. I was wondering if you reach a point where you can increase and no longer herx but just start to heal?

Loutucky - it is different for everyone.

It depends on several things - how much you detox, how well your body can detox, how high the bacterial load is...etc.

You do not need to get to the maximum dosage. If you're herxing, you're killing. Why not stay at one dose for a bit longer...to give your body a break.

Girlie, I think I will take your advice and stop trying to increase for a while. That makes sense to me because I do have a horrible time detoxing. Thanks!

It took me a while to increase those two. I started early June and I now take 30 drops of Houtt (sometimes 31) a day and 27
(sometimes 28) of the crypto. I seem to be better at increasing the houtt than the crypto, although both I feel when increasing.

Krimpet, that gives me hope. I can't even imagine right now at reaching even 20 drops a day with these two herbals.
