Does anyone take Kyolic garlic supplements? I've started taking them for my blood pressure but I find that I herx an hour or 2 after taking them, like when I started the doxy a few weeks ago. Makes me wonder if garlic has been found to help with Lyme?

Garlic is a natural antibiotic as well as an antiviral and antifungal. So it makes sense that you could herx from it. I'm thinking of adding it to my regimen in a few weeks. Started Amoxicillin just a few days ago so I want to see if I herx from that before adding something else.

Biopure freeze dried is one of the most POTENT,and recommended by top LLMD's.

Buhner suggests in his book Herbal Antibiotics that the best two herbal antibacterial/antiviral supplements are raw crushed garlic and oil of oregano. I take both at bedtime because they do give me a herx reaction of a couple of hours or so. I crush the garlic and then swollow as I would any other supplement. It gives me stomach pain for 5 minutes or so, but that quickly subsides.

I'm pretty sure Zhang's protocol relies heavily on garlic along with another antibiotic as their primary anti-spirochetal strategy. If you're herxing, can you lower the dose, or maybe split it up more? Or you can always up your detoxing strategies!

Just saw this interesting study in UK about garlic and lyme

I had to bump this convo back to the top. I started using Garlix (garlic supplement/pills) through Xyomogen. I'm up to 1 capsule twice a day and will bump up to taking 3 a day by the end of the week and then 4 next week which is the goal. The first day I took it I felt some old symptoms return (the soreness in the shoulder blade), some soreness in the soles of my feet, jaw twitching. Mind you I just started taking it on Saturday (with the advice from my herbalist). So it's not making those nasty buggers and parasites happy.

They are getting their eviction notice. Anyone else use garlic pills or supplements or just plain old garlic for their Lyme? If so how are you doing on it???

I changed my diet almost 2 months ago. My spice of choice is garlic to make the veggies taste great!! I haven't noticed any herxing but I can say I've had a rash on my body for over a year that is gone. Could be the diet change but I think it is the garlic!! My grandfather who is 85 yrs old and in great shape has eaten garlic reguarly for yrs, he is in great health and swears by it! It does tend to drive others away but I brush my teeth often!!

LOL!!! I was eating raw garlic and still will...I did notice it once on me and I was out at dinner (oooops). It definitely does clean your internal house!

Yeah I will see how this goes...I do get the garlicy burp too but I don't smell like garlic thank goodness.

We've taken Alimed since we were diagnosed. My daughter has had some herxing, especially the day she accidentally doubled her dose, which was 20 drops. She had worked her way up to 10, but forgot that she had taken it that day. She hasn't done that since! I feel it a little when I up my dose. We use the drops.

Kyolic has an immune mix that I've considered. I got it for my college kid since she seems to pick up every bug that comes around and it seemed to help her. I told her to just take it every day this year since she'll have harder classes.

I use garlic in cooking a lot, but I need to add some when we're about to dish up since it's best used raw for healing purposes.

Have some parsley after eating it raw if you're concerned about odor.

I know a couple a long time ago who ate a lot of raw garlic every day and they did reek of garlic odor. Maybe that would repel the ticks! smilewinkgrin
