Title: Kudzu - Cycle Review
Post by Frank_W on Apr 7^th, 2005, 9:14am

I am very pleased to report that I am out of cycle.

Every cycle I've had, in the past eight years has been, at a minimum, eight weeks long. My longest cycle ever, was thirteen weeks long, while I was taking Verapamil, and used Imitrex. (I only used the Imitrex four times during that cycle)

This year's cycle began in late February, at which time I began taking kudzu, and ended at least a week ago, and possibly, as early as two weeks ago.

At most, this cycle lasted six weeks, which is the shortest cycle I've ever had.

I got hit a total of eight times. ONLY EIGHT TIMES!!

None of those hits went beyond a Kip-6 or 7.
None of those hits lasted longer than 30 minutes.
None of those hits were accompanied by the usual host of symptoms like elevated body temperature, hanging eyelid, pain radiating to the jaw/molars/back of neck, or any head-banging.

I quit taking the kudzu last Friday, and am pleased to report that I have been 100% pain-free for at least the past two weeks.

By far, this was the most pain-free, tolerable, and shortest cycle I've ever had. I attribute most of this to the kudzu.

Thank you.

-Frank

I'm ordinarily such a skeptic, and I was skeptical that the kudzu could/would work. I'm a believer. :)

That's great news, Frank! I'm really happy for you, and I hope that others can report all kinds of stories similar to yours! Ordinarily I'm a major skeptic too (especially about vitamins and herbs), but the more I read what people were reporting, the more exciting it seemed!

Maybe I'll get to report in the near future that I'm not a chronic CH'er anymore! Fingers crossed!

Hugz,
Carrie/Lizzie2 :)

Thank you, Carrie. I hope you (and everyone!), are able to get some pain-free time in the very near future. [smiley=hug.gif]

Way to go

I am a skeptic as well about all this natural stuff as I am a medical profesional but I purchased kudzu yesterday for my wife in mid cycle and she slept well and woke with no pain I am a believer.

Great news Frank. I will be trying Zu the next cycle. Being PF is a beautiful thing. :)

The question is what are going to do with all that extra $$$ you saved?

LOL! Buy dive gear and book a trip to Cozumel. :)

I hope it works well for you, Tim. Good luck! :)
