I'm SO Sensitive to ALL Meds, Please Rec. Herbal Protocol, Byron White Opinions?

I found a Naturopath that is somewhat local that says she treats with Byron White herbs. In doing my research I've seen some really great success stories and other horror stories that make very fearful of trying them.

I have always been very sensitive to medicine, even herbals, which has only increased since being diagnosed with Lyme.

Pros/Cons to Byron White? Is there a protocol out there that's gentle enough for those of us that are super sensitive?

I have a horror story from byron white, but that is just me. I switched to the jernigan protocol instead and I can tolerate it better, so far only low doses. I still herx from it, even though he said no herxes. I think I'm allergic to something in the byron complex so I got like severe reactions, you might be fine.

I would suggest that you call and ask the NP what happens if you don't tolerate the Byron White protocol? Do they have an alternative that they recommend or are you out of luck if you don't tolerate it?

Starting off very, very slowly with detoxing almost always helps, and then when it comes time to start the Byron White, or any other protocol, you will want to start of on very, very low doses and titrate very, very slowly upwards - possibly starting with just one drop a day.

I'm very interested in the Jernigan Protocol. I don't know much about it, but are they herbals? Do you take other supplements in addition to the protocol itself?

I wanted to be under the care of at least a Naturopath (can't really afford an LLMD right now, they want thousands for blood work), maybe I can find out more about the Jernigan protocol and explain it to the Naturopath that's local to me.

Hi Denise,

I was just mentioning the protocol to my mom, who reminded me that we purchased his book a few years ago. I had completely forgotten it. I'm not very good at reading and comprehension these days, with what seems to be nearly constant dizziness. Do you think if I emailed the Hansa center, they could tell me what I needed to order to start out? I'd like to start slow if possible, that way if I have a reaction to something, I'll know what it is.

Also, I found a website that says Sara Jernigan. Is this the same protocol as Dr. J?

Hi Grace,

The biological medicine is very simple, start off with 1 bottle of Borrelogen and going by your symptoms, I suggest taking the Neuro-Antitox CNS/PNS Formula. You can order it from the Hansacenter.com website or call them up.

The Borrelogen targets the lyme bacteria (IgeneX tested Borrelogen and found more dead lyme bacteria compared to conventional abx) and the Neuro-Antitox Formula binds up toxins. Most pain related symptoms as well as brain fog and neuro symptoms are caused from toxins (the worse toxin is ammonia which is a die-off from lyme bacteria).

I had really bad joint pain, lost the use of my legs for a long time (I used crutches), brain fog, etc.

I took 1 dropper 3 times a day (you squeeze the dropper to fill up the dropper) which equals about 30 drops for each product. I never heard of anyone having a reaction. Dr. Jernigan tests all of his supplements before letting them be sold. He also grows his own plants and harvests them in Kansas. What's interesting is Dr. J. traveled and still does all over the world finding plants that work and if he approves of a plant that he feels will be beneficial (after testing it, etc.) he will grow that plant in Kansas.

It's also important to detox (detox baths, dry skin brushing, etc.) as well as a healthy diet. When I was sick I needed to look at the stressors in my life and find a way to reduce that stress which I did. Stress plays a huge role in any disease.

Oh, Dr. Sara Jernigan is Dr. David's first wife (he had remarried). From what I heard I do not recommend using her protocol. She basically handles the orders even though you can order from the Hansa Center Clinic.

Hope this helps!
Denise

Denise,

Thank you so much! I also have a lot of heart symptoms (pulse skips, bad tachycardia), are the formulas ok for that, too?

Are we supposed to herx on them, or just not feel anything?

Hi Denise,

I am detoxing with epsom salt/hydrogen peroxide foot baths twice per day. I also drink as much lemon water as possible, but it does bother my stomach, so I don't drink as much as I would like.

I can't remember where I read it, but I thought I had read something about Wobenzym or Serrapeptase (I may have the wrong names here) that was supposed to be taken along with the Jernigan Protocol, but I can't find that on the Hansa website. I know it was something for inflammation, which I am sure I have a lot of. Is that something that may be purchased elsewhere?

Hi Denise,

So sorry for the late reply, it's been a rough (dizzy) couple of days. Just to clarify, the Molybdenum is Wobenzym? Sorry if I misunderstood that, just want to make sure I'm taking the right things.

Hi again Grace!

Not fully awake yet, still adjusting to Daylight Savings.. Yuck!

This is what I found out since I posted last night: I don't think you want to take Wobenzym because it is a combination of enzymes extracted from pineapples and papayas, natural pancreatic enzymes and flavonoid rutin (an antioxidant).

Since the lemon bothers you, you don't want to take more fruit enzymes.

I also found where to order the TPP-Protease (it was the TPP that I was not breaking down when I researched it). www.Amazon.com has it!

Here's the link:

www.amazon.com/Transformation-Enzyme-Protease-120-Capsules/dp/B008JHYI1S/ref=sr_1_1/185-7160004-8978544?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1415098903&sr=1-1&keywords=transformation+enzymes

So either order the Molybdenum or the TPP-Protease (I didn't take any of these)..

By the way, TPP-Protease does contain Bromelain:
