Hi David! My last question for today! I have a question about using a Chinese formula alongside a triune in place of bitters. I wanted to do this for the latest case history (AG), but wasn't sure if it would be too much. I personally have not responded well to bitters - they caused stomach irritation, and I didn't notice improvement. For this reason, I have wondered if you have seen someone not respond well to bitters, and what alternative you would use. I have seen the Chinese formula, StomachVigor, worked well for myself and others (will link below). If I wanted to add StomachVigor to a protocol, would you suggest not addressing low digestive fire in the triune? Or would having the triune and StomachVigor together be too many complex formulations at once?

Thanks! - Hillary

David said: Bitters can be too strong for some people, you can use milder bitters, a lower dose or try something else like a TCM formula as extract granules. I don’t suggest pills they are hard to digest.
