Summary
On oxymatrine following Dr. Chia's protocol, prescribed through Dr. Montoya, had a "HUGE uptick in strength and stamina" in the first month, followed by "2 solid, life altering months." After about three months, though, she crashed back to pre-oxymatrine fatigue levels or, in her words, "possibly worse," with the gains not holding.
