Butterbur: European Herb

I am investigating the herb butterbur because it is suggested that the allergies that I currently have may be helped. Mold is one such allergy.
Here, from Web MD are my notes:
Other names of herb:
Blatterdock, Bog Rhubarb, Bogshorns, Butter Bur, Butterburr, Butter-Dock, Butterfly Dock, Capdockin, Exwort, Flapperdock, Japanese Butterbur, Japonica Petasites, Langwort, Pestwurz, Petasites, Petasites flower, Petasites hybridus, Petasites officinalis Petasites leaf, Petasites rhizome, Petasites root, Petasitidis Folium, Petasitidis Rhizoma, Petasitidis Hybridus, Petasites Japonicus, Petasites Vulgaris, Plague Root, Purple Butterbur, Tussilago hybrida, Umbrella Leaves.
It can cause liver damage and should be labeled PA-free to be safe in taking the product. PA's are chemicals called pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Take these nasties out and the product is good to go. The herb is good for the following
Butterbur is used for pain, upset stomach, stomach ulcers, migraine and other headaches, ongoing cough, chills, anxiety, plague, fever, trouble sleeping (insomnia), whooping cough, asthma, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), and for irritable bladder and urinary tract spasms. Butterbur is also used to stimulate the appetite. So watch out to not gain weight on this one.

Notes from Doris Rapp's Brain Allergies: Is this your Child?

The following sentences are notes from the book Brain Allergies: Is this your child?
The note in blue especially pertains to me. 
Allergic fatigue syndrome.
Ionic air purifier
Women and environmental illnesses have problems with thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, pancreas ,& possibly pituitary gland. Branch of study is psycho-neuro-endocrine-Immunology. 
9/3/11 Notes on symptoms as I go to work. This is in the process of locating a mold, or environmental allergy that is causing the depression.
Enter mousecafeteria and face itches. Right leg is off balance.
3:40 on location. Knuckles itch. Skin around mouth itches.
5:30 headache
6:30 migraine depression
Go off stage air conditioned area
7:10 return. No depression no headache.

Delayed food reactions can cause otitis (ear fluid). IgE RAST blood test of some foods that cause delayed reactions may not show the foods to cause allergic reactions. Because the foods require time to cause the reaction or more food amount to cause the reaction. There is also a IgG test as well.

Stachybotrys, Chaetomium look up these works.

Reaction from New level

My incision area started to hurt yesterday, as did the area that the lead attaches to the Vagus Nerve. The sensation lasted about half an hour and then a head ache on that side of the head. The next stimulation period the same pain, but much less, with no headache. But I am up again. More motivated to paint, sculpt, and to move about, as in yard work.
The hospital has not billed me yet and it has been since Feb. 26th. I did contact them and apparently they are resubmitting it to the insurance company and that takes about a month to six weeks to do.
Meanwhile I notice that I can think around problems better. I can see them as less threatening. I can move off the ruminating thoughts and on to other, more creative ones. I believe that it has helped in my OCD. I am not locked into certain behaviors as much.
