For those that are taking iha and are on his protocol, do you have to cycle iha. For example, 3 weeks on and 1 week off? If you do, when your off do you replace with just houttuynia?

I didn’t know the protocol called for pulsing of the IHA.

I can check my Buhner bart book later

I don't cycle it. I've been taking it for many months, but I take tiny doses (4-6 drops). He says, if I remember right, that long term it can cause deep chill.

If you're taking full doses, you could order each of the herbs separately and take breaks from the isatis.

Okay girlie thanks I thought I saw that somewhere on these forums awhile ago. Okay thanks wbf your doing buhner's bartonella protocol too am I right? I'm taking iha , Japanese knotweed, sida acuta. I really can't afford the others because I'm in college full-time and only have a part time job. Also doing purslane instead of milk thistle for liver support. Do you think it's absolutely necessary to have supportive herbs though?

I'm the one that mentioned pulsing the isatis but I think that may only necessary if you're on full high doses of it which I am and have been for a few months. Buhner doesn't mention it in the description of the bart protocol but he does mention it else where in the book and in his other books on isatis. I like to be extremely careful as I have no medical support for getting basic blood work done.

FWIW I like the idea of including as many of the supportive herbs as I can. I think of it as essentially making the natural state of my body strong enough that it is inhospitable to the bacteria. Having said that they are the ones that I am sometimes inconsistent with.


okay - I guess I don't remember that - I was just looking at the protocol section.

So it's for safety reasons? You mentioned blood work...does it affect the liver?

Yes, the tidbits - particularly ones relating to “safety” should be with the protocols.

I read the entire book, but don’t even remember that - it may have been a part I read in late evening before going to bed which may be why it didn’t register.


Getting kidney function tests regularly could be a problem for some - particularly people who are self treating with the herbs.
And abnormal kidney and liver function tests often don’t equate with symptoms.

I couldn’t “feel” my liver enzymes rising.
