I finally started taking the houttuynia tincture I have. The first few days were fine working up from 1 drop a day. I’m now up up to five drops and I’ve noticed within a few hours of taking it my heart will start beating really fast out of nowhere. I’ve stuck with the five drops for five days now and every one of those days I’ve had this heart thing. Today I fell asleep in the afternoon and woke up with my heart beating really fast. It will beat quickly for a few seconds then slow to normal and it will repeat this a few minutes later. In all I think my heart sped up 6 times in an hour. After that hour it didn’t happen again.

Is houttuynia know to do this? Could I be having a reaction or is it die-off?

I forgot most of what I knew about Houttuynia, but if you're treating bartonella, I can tell you that my experience has been that any time I've treated bartonella I get heart palpitations etc.

Also if I recall correctly Houttuynia increases nitric oxide in the blood, so that's another thing to keep in mind.

Here's a study on that: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25923355

I’m thinking it’s dieoff/herx (Bartonella)
