I'm glad to hear the water retention is gone. I'm not sure if this will be of any help, but here are some herbs recommended for the entire intestinal system (colon health)...
Single Herb - Detoxifiers
- Dock Family
- Slippery Elm
- White Oak Bark
Single Herbs- Strengtheners
- Mullein
- Chickweed
- Dock Family
- Marshmallow
I can't remember if I told you already, but goldenseal has accumulative properties so it's only for short term use. I believe the other berberine containing herbs like Oregon grape root, barberry and yellow dock(?) don't have this effect so they can be used for extended periods.
For your temps, if you find that adding more Cynoplus doesn't help, maybe try herbs that target all your endocrine glands, including herbs that target the adrenal glands specifically? This is what I've been doing and it seems to be helping.
I mentioned the adrenals because they produce the steroidal hormones and neurotransmitters and you say you feel better moods with preg. I'm wondering how yours are doing. Do you happen to know what your average blood pressure is? Your top number (systolic) will tell you how well your adrenals are functioning and your bottom number (diastolic), how well your kidneys are functioning.
My daytime temps have been consistently 98.6 since the switch to all fruit, but I started taking endocrine and adrenal formulas and my temps shot up to 99 degrees. It did drop to 98.4 all of a sudden and I was disappointed until I went to the bathroom and found I started my period.
One interesting thing is I didn't get my usual "the world would be better off without me" depressive episode right before break through bleeding. Because of this, I was completely unaware that I was about to start. This makes 6 periods out of 7 months; a record for me.
For an herbal abx - I'm currently taking an anti-parasitic formula for two weeks and an anti-bacterial/anti-fungal formula for a month. The anti-bacterial formula includes pau d'arco, black walnut hulls, cat's claw bark, goldenseal root, olive leaf extract, usnea lichen, thyme leaf, butternut bark and barberry root.
I only have a small list of herbs that Ray has either recommended to me personally or he mentions in interviews/his articles so I'm not sure if he'd approve of all the ones above.
Out of curiosity, what is in the LiverCare?
