So I've started the Buhner Protocol about 10 days ago only up to 25 drops of JK and started Cats Claw 2 days ago. Feeling fairly crappy and now when standing still I feel definite imbalance??? Not dizzy but somewhat like I'm rocking??? Is this normal, what the heck is wrong with me???? Just want some relief please.....

I've had the "swaying" even before treatment...and its a lot better.

If it's new to you since starting treatment - then it is likely a herx.

Focus on detoxing...and lower your dosage - how much CC are you on?

maybe drop the JK down 10 drops?

I did move up with the JK drops from 4-5 up to 26 three times a day in only 10-12 days. Along with adding Goutang and Sida Acuta 5 drops 3x daily now. You think I should stop all and just do JK and work up a lot slower, then start adding CC again?


I also have neck pain now which I have not had in 18 months.

My opinion is that you added in too much, too many, too fast.

Cut back on all and start over with only one at a time.

I would back down some on the JK, sida and goutang - and stop the CC.

When you have a handle on those at lower doses...then add the CC in at a couple drops daily only.

Then you can slowly titrate up each herb one at a time.

Thx PeteZa and Girlie,

So you both think moving up 1-2 drops per day of just one herb is appropriate???

I think I might be in the same boat. I added gouteng and just upped it 5 drops, upped chinese skullcap a few drops and added ashwaganda and cordyceps all in one day. Now I'm fatigued and my legs are hurting, unsteady feeling, and my eyes are being funny again.

I'm constantly questioning if the herbs are REALLY the cause of the return in symptoms or of it's something else (period, Lyme cycle, abx herx,etc.) Argh.

Reduce your doses back to what they were previously, when you were "stable". And then raise them back up - very slowly and only one thing at a time.

This is a very common mistake made by many- and not with just herbs. We get in a hurry to heal - and while I fully understand it (I did it too!!), it is NOT helpful for us to be in a hurry, as we often end up further 'behind' than when we started if it goes on for long.

I now only up my doses one herb at a time (even if they aren't for treatment), and only once every 3 - 5 days, even if I feel fine and no sign of herxing. If I'm herxing, I force myself to wait it out before raising my dose of anything and increase my detoxing.

Couldn't agree more jLESVA. I can't tell if I'm herxing because it lasts a long time, 3-7 days sometimes or if it's new symptoms???? Just wanna heal please....

I hear you Drez... Guess this is an ultimate test of patience!!

Thanks Traveler. I think I might need to stretch it to 5 days. I was doing it every 3, but then I got my new herbs and got a little increase happy. I was taking ashwaganda in caps and ran out, then re ordered in powder. I'm guessing I need to reintroduce it slowly as well.
