Taking knotweed as a powder in juice

Dear Stephen,
In response to your reply to the Ayurvedic practitioner in France, I’m very curious about taking the powder in juice that you spoke of. Would you recommend mixing the cat’s claw with it as well in a larger glass of juice 3 x per day? Any particular juice? I’m thinking natural cranberry diluted with water and some stevia to avoid the overload of sugar? I’d appreciate your thoughts on this as I make my own capsules and don’t like taking so many.


Stephen’s response:
Sure, you can mix any of the powdered herbs in water or juice. I usually used apple, cranberry is fine.

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.

    Dear Stephen

    I have read your book and recommendations of Japanese Knotweed – the wildcrafted powder from the whole root. As we have plenty of them here in Denmark also, I collected the roots, but they are just like wood.
    Is it possible or appropriate to cut or blend these woody pieces, or would I have to wait for another season to collect them, where the roots are more sappy, e.g. before they start growing?
    Thank you very much.

    I use a stainless grater with the dried root and it works great, the pieces too small to hold I put in a blender and break down as small as possible and then everything goes into an old spice jar.

    I was wondering, I have harvested a few Japanese Knotweed roots and in one of them a millipede came out of the root. I’m thinking about waiting for the root to dry up, and grinding it anyway, but is this really a good idea? lol.
