hello friends!

i need to pick y'alls brains-- I was recently diagnosed with lyme and have been on almost all of Dr. B's supplements for some time now.

but, I recently started the step 1 (burbur + pinella) and had a think a herx reaction-- mostly anxiety-based. i'm a 24 year old professional that works on wall street, so anxiety was never, ever, an issue for me. however, even after day 2 and taking a break, i'm having severe anxiety. any ideas?

thank you!

ps-- i like this board because everyone seems to have a positive outlook on things-- we're going to get through this, in due time!

Hello and welcome to the forum! It is a great place for us Lymies. Someone should be able to assist you. I don't have any experience with that protocol, other than what I've read on here.

Have you read the "New to Lyme?...Start here!" thread at the top of the page? If you haven't done any detoxing, there are instructions there for several ways of detoxing. You need to do that to clear out the toxins left from the die off.

I wish you the best!!

Hi Garden Peace,

Thanks so much! I have read the detoxing: I've been taking several epsom salt baths, drinking lemon juice, etc, etc, milk thistle and dandelion root, etc. to try to get this thing out!

Thank you!

Hi there,

I've had experience with Burbur and Pinella,I took them together with Cumanda/Banderol and Samento.

May I ask what dosage you're on at the moment and how long you took to work up to this amount?

In my experience, you've got to take your time and increase the doses very slowly if not then you're bound to herx,I would start again with small amounts and see what happens.
The chances are,you've been doing too much,too soon.

Hi WWJD and Tickled,

Thanks for your help! I started doing 5 drops of Burbur + Pinella in the morning (last Friday), then 10 of each that night, then another 10 the next morning, then herx reaction later that day (Saturday).

I stopped for a couple days, then did just 2 drops of Burbur to give it another shot, and same thing happened (not as severe). Maybe my body isn't doing a good job of detoxing either, but I'm trying to support my system with Milk Thistle + Probiotics + Fiber among other supplements.

Glad to hear you both are feeling a bit better!

Please, start with one drop,do this for 4 days,then 2 drops for 4 days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,until you've built up to 5 drops.

Stick with this,believe me less is most definitely more smilewinkgrin

I speak from experience,I never got past 5 drops and I'm doing really well.

Hi Tickled,

That's great to hear! Thanks for the info. To make sure I have it correct...did you do one drop once a day of both Burbur + Pinella then add it in, or do one drop of say, Burbur, then add Pinella in later?

Thank you for your help! This makes me feel so much better.
