Do mushrooms count as herbs? I would think so even though they’re not exactly the same thing. I’ve been hearing a lot about chaga (sp?) and lion’s mane. I was actually going to try lion’s mane, but the order got lost and refunded. I’m debating about whether to order it again. I’m having difficulty coming up with words in conversations, and it’s driving my husband and teen boys crazy. My daughter is awesome though. She knows how I think and just fills in the words for me. (Who knew that a teen daughter would be more laid back than teen sons? I expected the opposite!) Here’s photo to make you drool if you like wild mushrooms like I do. I miss hiking and hunting for morels!

I miss hiking and hunting for morels! Yes, mushrooms are considered herbs(but more like natural medicine), when you are dividing up things into either allopathic or holistic medicine. I use several mushrooms in my protocols. Love them!!! BUT, they can be powerful medicine. I've never tried chaga, I'm concerned about ramping up my adrenals. Not sure that it would actually do that, but I"m being super cautious. Now, lion's mane, I'm in love with and recommend it to anyone that believes they have myelin sheath damage (damage to the protective covering of the nerves). "Modern medicine" has no answer on how to help repair this damage, but holistic medicine does!! The one caution I have about this in my own experience, is that it can cause an increase in the amount of nerve issues a person experiences if they try to get on too high of a dose too quickly. Basically a herx, although I don't believe it fits the real medical definition of a herx reaction. Oops, forgot to include the link. Demyelination symptoms I like this article better, but I want to include another one that may be easier to read for some: Demyelination symptoms My daughter and I are the same! When she lived at home, and during my worst of the word finding issues - she would finish many of my sentences for me too! Although, there was always time for the "Let's all guess at what Mom is trying to say" game daily as well. Thanks kids! LOL! But, they were trying to make me laugh - and they did do that!!

I think I’ll definitely have to re-order the lion’s mane. I loved seeing the online Merck Manual. Thanks for the help and links, Traveler, and God bless our daughters! I wish my sons and husband were trying to make me laugh. Instead, it’s too much testosterone and grumpy attitudes. Yikes.

Trav, Do you have a recommendation for a place to buy lions mane? I don’t want to order from the last place that screwed it up. Thanks!

I got to where I liked Samsara herbs, which can be found on many online stores - but it's pretty concentrated, so you may wish to start with a brand that is not concentrated and find your dose first - then switch over to the Samsara. Here is a link to Samsara herbs Lion's mane, concentrated at a 20:1 ratio - for those with brain fog, that means that taking 1 ounce of this would be equal to taking 20 ounces. When I switched over to Samsara herbs Lion's mane, I only needed to take 1/8th of a tsp twice a day. I'm now up to about 1/4 tsp twice a day, but I've been using Lion's mane for years now - and it's still improving my nerve function. Link to Amazon's Samsara Lion's mane But to be completely honest, I think I started out on Swanson's brand of Lion's mane!! And I started out on just one cap a day for about a month, nearly stopped it, but chose to up my dose slowly that way and then switch over to the Samsara brand. That worked great for me!
