Is this an over-the-counter herb? Sounds like my wife and I need to do some research on this...

Edit: Yes, in fact, it is over the counter. Seems GNC, Walgreens, etc has this on the shelf. Thanks for recommending it!



Sure, as another poster wrote, be careful with MS it seems, there could be an immune stimulating effect. For stress in general it's very good though. Also it can be taken infrequently and you can still see a lot of benefits.


> be careful with MS it seems, there could be an immune stimulating effect.

If you know this, then why are you bringing the herb up as a response to somebody explicitly saying they have MS and are desperate for help?

It's like somebody screaming their house is on fire and you recommend trying a bucket of gasoline. And deep in the comments you'd mention "oh by the way, rhe gasoline could make the fire worse, and also, I make money off the gasoline-ordering-links that I sent you"


If you read this whole thread, you can see that OP recommended to try the treatment before they knew about this MS specific risk.


I didn't know it at first. Also, as pointed out, the risk is theoretical.


If that's the case then isn't it time to edit the comment and remove the harmful information or at least put a fat warning along side it, instead of keeping it up there together with your affiliate links that are still up and still earn you money?
