Food/herb interactions with sida and cryptolepis

by | Jul 21, 2012 | cryptolepis, Herbs, interactions, The Basics | 2 comments

Dear Stephen,
I am currently doing a metal detox with cilantro, chlorella and sodium alginate. Can I use the sida and cryptolepis with cilantro? I also take a product that has black cumin oil in it, is this okay?


Stephen’s response:
Sure, to both questions.

  • Julie Genser, founder of Planet Thrive

    Earthwalker is the username that PT founder Julie Genser created for her online interactions so many years ago when first creating Planet Thrive.

    Julie's (Earthwalker's) life was derailed over twenty years ago when she had a very large organic mercury exposure after she naively used a mouth thermometer to measure the temperature of just-boiled milk while making her very first pizza at home. The mercury instantly expanded into a gas form and exploded out the back of the thermometer right into her face. Unaware that mercury was the third most neurotoxic element on Earth, Julie had no idea she had just received a very high dose of a poisonous substance.

    A series of subsequent toxic exposures over the next few years -- to smoke from two fires (including 9/11), toxic mold, lyme disease, and chemical injuries -- caused catastrophic damage to her health. While figuring out how to survive day-to-day, and often minute-to-minute, she created Planet Thrive to help others avoid some of the misdiagnoses and struggles she had experienced.

    She has clawed her way over many health mountains to get to where she is today. She is excited to bring the latest iteration of Planet Thrive to the chronic illness community.

    In 2019, Julie published her very first cookbook e-book called Low Lectin Lunches (+ Dinners, Too!) after discovering how a low lectin, gluten free diet was helping manage her chronic fascia/muscle pain.

    Thank you, Mr. Buhner for your informative, life-saving book on Anti- Bacterial Herbs. I have been exposed to C-diff, and having symptoms. With already being diagnosed with IBS, I guess I was susceptible to the bad bacteria, cause its pretty bad. I even had to use barley water at one point, though I normally avoid all gluten, grains and starches (the SCD or specific carb diet).
    I’ve so been hoping to heal my gut, not make it worse…
    If i get the cryptolepis for the C-diff, what other herbals should I for sure use to go with it? Do they have to be in tincture form? I have limited means to get these needed herbals right now. How many weeks or months do I need to continue taking herbs to fight this? My elderly mom needs to move in with me and I so need to get rid of this before she does.
    Any help much appreciated!

    I have recurring MRSA. Are there any known interactions
    to medications if I begin to use Cryptolepis? I was just on 3 consecutive Dalvance infusions for a bad toe infection. Now it appears my pinky finger has MRSA spots in it.
