Hi, was wondering what others experience is with these drops.. I'm only taking three drops a day but also along with some Buhner herbs.. sida Acura, houttynia and skullcap, was on more but took a break for a few days because of painful herxs for weeks..

My question is, when you take a break, even for just a few days, are you supposed to start back up slowly? I just took them again today and am not feeling good, emotionally or physically.. sharp pains and my head feels weird, ringing in ears, numbness in Limbs, lots of anxiety and prickly feelings everywhere, even in my head :'(

since things are always up and down it's hard to tell sometimes what's going on, would like to hear how others do this, or if "breaks" are not good at all, like maybe I should of just lessened my dosage instead of stopping completely? Thanks in advanced!

Hubby and I had no problem with Beyond Balance products. We both did BB-1 but we did it along with Tox Ease GL. Neither of us ever herxed. But we are the all time detoxers and have been detoxing for years before we ever got lyme.

We both ended up doing 2 dropper fulls of BB-1 and the Tox Ease GL. We slowly went up to the dosage, one at a time.

We also did the Core Protocol of Buhners.

I can only tell you what I would TRY if I were in your shoes. I would start over and slowly go up. But, since you are off all herbs right now, I think it would be a good time to detox before you start the herbs back up.

Detox one thing at a time and slowly add in more methods of detoxing before you start back on the herbs.

Just my personal opinion. I'm certainly not a doctor. The thing about treating lyme is there is no correct way to heal. It is all a guessing game and trying this and trying that.

Thanks for your suggestion, what do you mean by "detoxing one thing at a time"?

BTW I can't believe you and your hubby were in 2 full dropper fulls! Wow! I read most can't handle a few drops even like me, and I've been taking them for months now :-/

Whenever I had to back off of herbal tinctures due to herxing, After a few days I would start again but slow ,not my previous dose.

Yes it takes time to build up again but you can gage how much you increase the dosage by how you are feeling/herxing or the reaction you are getting.

I would only re start the herbals if the increase in herx symptoms went down.

Our bodies can get to overloaded with the die off of the toxins.

Make sure to detox it really does help. Epsom salt baths, milk thistle, dry brushing, and I also use activated charcoal to get me through.

The only real breaks I took up to this point in eight months was just the small ones when I had to back off for a day or two.

However I just had an appt with a wonderful Lyme literate NP, and she did advise me to stop Sida acuta and Andrographis for a month and reevaluate those then.

Sida was a game changer for me with neuro symptoms.

Well I hope you get some relief soon. Take care, Jo

Oh, I also was one who could only take a few drops at a time. We are all different. Over 8 months I have only built up to 25 drops of almost all of my tinctures. Just a few are still at 10 drops.

They are effective for me so far at those doses. Over time you will see how much you need and how to adjust the doses to suit your symptoms and healing.

Sincerely, Jo
