I had 2 weeks of feeling better that ended Friday night, when I started having intestinal pain and inflammation again. Still feeling bad with inflammation pain, anger/rage, feeling overwhelmed, OCD/ADD.

I had to switch from Plum Flower knotweed to Nuherb knotweed, as I couldn't find any Plum Flower powder. I started the Nuherb sometime late last week.

I noticed the Nuherb was lighter in color and had a smoother taste. I'm wondering if it's not as potent and could be why I'm worse again.

That's one of the things I can think of that changed.

Has anyone found Nuherb to be weaker or ineffective?

Lol this is interesting. I find nuherb phenomenal and plumflower total garbage. Did plumflower make you feel better?

Plum Flower made me herx. It took forever for me to get up to 3/4 tsp.

I had to back off everything a couple weeks ago and have just been taking 1/2 tsp twice a day. I felt better after backing off until Friday. about the same time I switched to Nuherb.

The Nuherb looked and tasted different - lighter color and milder, smoother taste.

I've been through 2 batches of Plum Flower. This is my first try at Nuherb.

What differences did you note between them?

The taste definitely. I found nuherb much more consistent with the flavor of other batches of knotweed. In fact I was so worried plumflower was not knotweed that I threw out the bag. However this was a while ago and so I don't know that they have the same batch. The one I got from plumflower almost had a slightly numbing sweet taste to it whereas all knotweed I've had had been likened to "smoked bamboo". I'll admit nuherbs latest batch is a tad mild tasting but it is still working alright for me. You've got me tempted to test a third brand for comparison but I don't know anyone else who sells bulk knotweed

So weird. I'm getting the exact opposite. I tasted the Nuherb again just now. It has a sweet taste that the Plum Flower did not have. I wonder if they get their herbs from the same suppliers. If so, maybe that's why.

Something's definitely going on with the supply. I suspect it's in much higher demand as Lyme is growing and so is people's knowledge of Buhner.
