I got my yerba mate at Whole Paycheck food store - oops, I mean Whole Foods.

It was this brand: http://www.guayaki.com/

I have read that drinking it as tea is probably best because the liquid is more readily absorbed into your system. Makes sense to me.

I am just a couple of days into experimenting with it, so I hate to say too much, but was able to reduce my medication right away. Quite significantly. Its effects are very apparent to me immediately. But I'll see how it goes. Fascinating material about it, though. Even if all it does is help heal your digestive system, how huge a benefit is that for PWP?

Irp1, when I left the US for the first time in search of other ways to heal myself, I went to Brasil for what I thought was going to be one week. The people of your country (I'm assuming you are Brasilian....) were so warm and loving and reached out to me so beautifully, that it was four months before I left again. I saw magic happen there every day. I still feel their loving arms around me. Obrigada.
