Question
Dear Milan,

I researched neem online and its properties sound too good to be true.  Anti-viral, antimicrobial, anti yeast, and anti-parasitic--are there any harmful effects you've notices, allergic reactions, or cases where no benefit was found by supplementing with neem?  I've suffered from chronic fatigue and candida for quite some time and my lab results show a constant lowered white cell count.  Do you think neem would be beneficial to my situation?  Does it affect beneficial bacteria in a harmful way?

Thanks for your help!

Answer
Dear Ben,

Neem shall certainly be good for you.

Neem is not harmful to beneficial bacterias inside the gut of the human body same way as it is not harmful to Farmer's friends in the farm, like the earthworm, etc...

Neem does increase the immune system

Regds.
