I started Dr. Buhners core protocol a couple of months ago and I've been noticing a much lower sex drive and I guarantee that it is not because of my sexy wife. I also started eleuthero a couple of weeks ago. From my research, it seems that andrographis could be the culprit.
Has anybody else experienced this?
Thank you, Dan

Have you tried adding Ashwagandha ? It is part of Buhner's protocol, he says it is good for sleep, but the truth is it is an adaptogen and helps your adrenal glands function properly. Adrenal support is important during treatment, to restore a normal life, energy, libido, etc...

Mitochondrial support is also essential, you should be taking CoQ10, i am taking 2x100mg every day. it DOES work, my fatigue is gone.

Buhner is the master herbalist, but treatment means a bit more than just herbs (he says this himself somewhere online but i cant find the page). CoQ10 is not a herb but it is i believe crucial in lyme treatment...

i am unfamiliar with the side effect of that herb. you could be right, or it could just be the infection coming out since you are treating it.

what happened with me was, my libido skyrocketted, not bc of lyme, but bc of the vitamins i was taking when i had lyme. i gave vitamin b12 1000mcg Sublingual the credit. may be worth a try for you! I took it once in the morning. it also helped tremendously with the fatigue.
