My Kudzu Story

[lukalee]

I am a flipping idiot. Two days after finding this site, I went 30 days AF. During this time it was pretty easy because I had two weeks off of work and I could focus all of my attention on taking the million and one pills a day.
After the 30 days, my goal was to be AF 95% of the year, so I took the advice of what I read on the boards that just taking the Kudzu when the cravings hit. This was not working, so I upped the Kudzu. Still did nothing for me. So when I ran out, I did not buy any more.
Why did it work so well the first 30 days and now all of a sudden it wasn't? Was I more dedicated and serious before? I couldn't figure it out.
Although I am drinking 1/3 of what I did before I came here, I am not going to reach my goal if I do not put some serious AF time under my belt. So I decided to give Kudzu another shot today.............and this is when I realized my big boo-boo. The second time I bought Kudzu, it was not the same one as the first because I had gone to a different store.
That was not really the problem though. The problem was that the first one was 750mg, and the second one was only 150mg. Ok, I think I am bright enough to figure out that I was originally taking 4500mg, but then I was only taking 300-600mg a day. Uh..no shit Sherlock, no wonder it wasn't working; you're an alcoholic, not a rabbit.
So, I guess I am going to give this a good shot. I have the next 10 days off so I should be able to commit to taking all of my supps.

Thanks for letting me share.

Hey Lee - first off, WOW on the 30 days right out of the gate! Keep in mind - you did it before you will do it again.
Just wanted to say that many members here have reported that L-Glut is much more effective for them in curbing cravings than Kudzu. I've seen people write that Kudzu helps with drinking less (sometimes due to it making them inebriated more quickly). So you might want to add l-glut to your regimine, if you're not doing it already.

Luka, that stinks. Life's a bitch, eh?

Glad you solved the mystery. That's a plus!

Hang tough. You can do it!

Love, Me

IMHO the only Kudzu to take is the one sold here. You will not find one anywhere else that matches the levels that were used in clinical trials. It is great stuff and taken along with l-glutamine it can really help take away the cravings.

Congrats on all of the AF days. Awesome!!!

Great detective work, lee! The Amino Acids from MWO are great too. I think they really help putting back all the shit we've depleted from our brains from drinking years on end. And when you have a happy brain, you have a happy liver.

WELL DONE on 30 DAYS AF!!

The kudzu I bought from a health food store worked for me... so it's a bit unfair to say only the ones from here work...when others on here might not have a credit card to buy online.

I don't want others to be put off getting it if they can't buy it online.

well, my experience is that the MWO kudzu works, and the others I tried didn't. But of course, as Heavenly says, don't be put off by that. But I will mention also that since the MWO stuff is so potent, it actually ends up to be cheaper than anything else I have found.

Also, as soccermom says, amino acids help a lot, as does eating well and taking lots of supps. I feel so good now, a bit over 2 weeks AF, and finally eating well and keeping my supp regime (which includes amino acids and enzymes and herbs and what-not) religiously, that I really have had no cravings... yet anyway.

Luka, I only take kudzu on an as-need basis (which hasn't even happened yet this time round) because I think you develop a tolerance to it. That might be what happened to you..

I too had great results with the Kudzu that I purchased through MWO. I wanted to use the exact formula that had been used in the clinical trials.

A word of caution about supplements in general. Supplements are virtually unregulated by the FDA or any other watch dog organization. There is truly no guarantee of any sort that you are getting what you think you are. It truly is important to do your research when it comes to purchasing supplements. Health food stores like Whole Foods and others whose reputation lies in the quality of the products they sell can be a good starting place for your research.

I do trust RJ and the store here. RJ has done and continues to do her research. I also believe that one can purchase from this site with a check by phone. I agree, no one should do without supps due to a credit card. But, if buying elsewhere, do your homework, buy for quality and not just price, you might not be getting what you think you are!

Hi Lukalee,

That's awesome that you did 30 days right off the bat. Amazing......sure wish I could have done that.

I started Kudzu about 4 weeks ago for the first time which I ordered from this site. I only was taking 3 a day....one with breakfast, lunch & dinner. It did not work for me I guess because I was not taking enough. But after 3 weeks, it started "repeating" on me, and I could not stand the taste that was coming up.....I know disgusting So anyway to cure the bad taste, I washed it down with a bottle of wine 2 nights in a row and that worked....hmm...what's wrong with that picture ? So I have decided no more Kudzu for me.

Actually, any kind of vitamin capsule also repeats on me, so now I only take liquid vitamins and that works great. Anyway, I'm sticking with the L-Glut. I like to believe that it works and it's good for your muscles too.

Initially I bought kudzu from this site and it didn't work for me. Then I added L-Glut and the two together worked great! Unfortunately when I ran out I decided to buy from another site and I'm not getting the same results. It was a waste of money because now I am purchasing the MWO kudzu and L-glut.
