Hi there,
The CFS has been flaring again lately and with this recent flare I've been encouraged by a friend (who is a chiropractor and naturalist) to try taking black walnut capsules for its anti-parasitical and anti-inflammatory properties. Has anyone heard of this?
I'd never heard of it, and in the research I've done lately on it makes it sound like it's okay to take for a short while but not for more than 2 weeks or 6 weeks max (depending on who you're talking to) because it could damage kidney & liver. Makes me leery about trying the stuff.
Has anyone heard of taking black walnut? Do you take it? And if so, how much and how often? Does it interact with other supplements or medicines? Should I only take it when I'm flaring? Or should I stay away from it altogether?
I'd love to hear whatever you have to say on the subject.
Thanks so much!

Black Walnut is a good anti fungal. It also kills off Candida infection.
I don't think it would be something to take all the time, but safe for a cleansing process.
Other good cleanses are olive leaf extract and oregano extract. I think the tinctures are better.
Good luck!

Interesting question. I agree with Jonsparky.
Actually, I take all 3 in tincture form. I use the Gaia Herbs sold
at Whole Foods. That's because I am challenged by candida and
have been treated for parasites in the past. I didn't know about
the limits in how long to stay on them. They seem to keep me
feeling well and I'll check into how long to take them.
I add them to warm water on the stove
and let them steep for a while
to let the alcohol steam off since I'm not keen on adding
alcohol to the mix.
