minimizing side affects of Lampit
I recently ( 3 weeks ago) began to take Lampit to kill the chaga parasite. Prior to this situation I have enjoyed almost perfect health.I do not take drugs of anykind.

I would like suggestions as to what I might do to reduce my extreme discomfort. I also am confused about dosages and length of time required to take the medication. I was told by the Dr two months. The package indicates lower daily doses for three months.Any suggestion...
