Hi, and welcome to the testing grounds. Herbals such as PM are untested and unregulated by the federal government; so other than the odd study or two, what we can offer is our own and others experiences. In a sense we are all our own research projects. A high dose such as the one you suggest has not been attempted very often so there isn't much advice we can give you on that, but from what we do know is that some people have experienced side effects from going on a higher dose. Does that mean that you will? No not necessarily. I personally have attempted a much higher dose than normal once, around 5000mg just to see what would happen, I had no side effects other than tender breasts and nipples, but I discontinued because I was worried about the potential effects on my liver. With an unregulated market however there is the 100% possibility that what you are taking is not 100% PM or even PM at all. So my 5000mg dose could very possibly been a 500mg dose. It is a chance you take and the phrase is "Your mileage may vary" for a reason.

So I say go ahead and try that 8000mg if that is what you want to do, it's a brave move for a scientist experimenting with their own body. Be sure to post often because I'm sure it would provide lots of interesting data. Just remember that slow and steady with careful precision almost never gets people killed.
