Ayurvedic herb mixture

Dear Stephen,
I have followed the muscle, joint and nerve protocol mentioned in the book for the past 3 months. I have experienced good results but my muscle cracks and pops are not reduced completely. I recently visited an ayurvedic practitioner and he has suggested me to take yogiraj guggulu herb mixture. I would like to know your opinion on this herb mixture.
Stephen’s response:
Well, the combination is primarily guggul and triphala. Triphala is a pretty good synergist combination used for millennia in India. It’s made of ginger and black and long pepper. It helps move more of a substance into the body and helps it circulate more widely while also enhancing the activity of other herbs. Guggul is primarily known for lowering cholesterol but it does have some fairly good anti-inflammatory actions. It’s used mostly for lowering inflammation in arthritic conditions. You might try it and see if it helps. Nothing wrong with it at all.

This protocol was incredible. After only a few weeks most of my symptoms were gone. After six months all my symptoms were gone… it has given me my life back.

    Triphala is high in Vitamin C, has immune system activating properties, similar to astralagus’s effect on chronic lyme. Be careful if you have late stage lyme.

    Thank you for this comment. I’m very ill at the moment and I was about to take Triphala to help my body to detox ?
