LOL! So sorry about
the stars appearing instead of letters! This happens automatically in order to censor certain words - this is a "family friendly" forum. I'm still not sure why it censored those particular letters though!!
According to the Buhner protocol site: "I (Buhner) used to be able to obtain B-I-S-M-U-T-H capsules without too much trouble, however that is no longer possible. If you have a friendly physician, I would highly recommend the use of ranitidine B-I-S-M-U-T-H citrate (see e.g. Brorson O and Brorson SH. Susceptibility of motile and cystic forms of Borrelia burgdorferi to ranitidine B-I-S-M-U-T-H citrate. Int Microbiol 2001; 4(4):209-15).
Borrelia are highly succeptible to B-I-S-M-U-T-H and the good thing about
GI tract involvement is that the B-I-S-M-U-T-H can directly interact with the organisms as it moves through the GI tract."
