Good idea to contact them directly. They are the experts.
We used both A-Bart and A-L. I didn't question our LLMD when she said to use them together so that's what we did (but initiated them at different times to get a handle on herx symptoms).
A-L did nothing - no herx, no improvement.
A-Bart caused huge herxes (shin pain, foot pain, headache, Tourette's-like motor ticcing) 20 minutes after dosing, initially at 3 drops so we dropped back to 1.
A-Bart caused herxing every time we increased, but I did manage to get our daughter to 25 drops 3x daily for 6 months. At this point she was on multiple combo abx for bart as well. We weren't prescribed any of the BW detox formulas, which might have made a difference with herxing.
When we weaned abx, I also weaned A-Bart because I wanted to start Buhner's protocol without interference.
After we got going on Buhner's herbs I reinitiated A-Bart and our daughter once again got an immediate herx with 4 drops. So for us, obviously 6 months at high doses did not cure. A-Bart along with abx may have helped to decrease our daughter's bartonella titers from 160 to 80 over the course of treatment, but she was still symptomatic.
It wasn't until we added Buhner's babesia protocol that our daughter became essentially asymptomatic.
