I'm mostly still on it. I've removed the licorice already to allow it to fully leave my system before I start on the Chinese Skullcap because the two of them can interact in seriously negative ways. Basically, both glycyrrhizic acid in the licorice and baicalein in the skullcap act on the pathway to allow the reductions to both aldosterone and cortisol on two parallel branches. This can lead to a condition called pseudohyperaldosteronism even with licorice alone. The two of them suppress the pathway in slightly different ways, so instead of competing, they aid each other... so a "can lead to" suddenly turns into an absolute.
Otherwise, I'm still following the rest of it until I get everything ordered and it gets here.
