Does anyone have any experience with them? My acupuncturist has started me on a super low dose of Lightening Pearls and I am herxing pretty badly. I have been on Abx since December and full Buhner's protocol since March/April.

Yes!
I started these three weeks ago. First, Thunder. Now I am on day 9 of Lightning.
I am sorry you are herxing. How low of a dose?
Are you seeing an improvement in any other symptoms?

I am seeing improvements in how I look at things. I am much more joyful and hopeful.
But there have been two days that my body has just felt so very heavy that I did not want to move.

Hi,

I just started a few days ago. I was doing 1 pearl once daily at night. Last night I took a break from them and the herxing stopped. I'll reintroduce again this week and slowly build up. I haven't noticed any improvement since I've just been herxing every time I take them

Sorry that the herxing has been so bad.

How are you feeling?

Sucks these can only be gotten through a practitioner. I've been interested in them and would love to hear your experience as you continue on with it.

When i 1st got diagnosed w/Lyme & Co's, I used herbs than the 'pearls'. For the year of 2015-2016> but then my ND switched me to pharma abx saying that noone gets healed/remission w/herbals alone. I had actually done fine on the herbals. The pharma Abx give me BAD herxing. But the classical pearls not-so-much(execpt when i used the ones for leaky gut)= which did work in restoring my guts flora!

I recently started with Serpent Pearls. A lot of mental herxing going on, and crushing fatigue. I am also having acupuncture to help move things along. I’m in a horrible depressive brain fog roller coaster that I am assured will clear but it takes a few months to get going.
It’s a different philosophy than most Lyme advice I’ve read so I was told not to “back off” when herxing, but to keep adding a pill a day to full protocol. It’s tough. Hopefully other herbs can get you through the herx.

There are many different varieties of Pearls and you must have a knowledgeable practitioner getting you on the right dose of the right combination. It is tailored to your exact needs. Making them available to anyone could be quite dangerous.

Perhaps, but I've self treated with many herbs

Just at a seminar today discussing that Classical Pearls are Class C pharmaceuticals- regulated and only dispensed by practitioners because it is possible to overdose.
They are also only made of herbs specifically grown and harvested in very precise locations and methods for maximum potency and synergy. Making them available to the general public would surely deplete the resources and/or send the demand and price sky-high.

They are chosen for you based on ancient Chinese medical observations, patterns, and symptoms; you can’t just learn this on the internet or go with your gut. Personally I don’t think anyone should be self-treating with such awful pathogens and multi-system imbalance at stake, but I absolutely understand the need - Lyme is just too d*** expensive.

It’s too bad we aren’t raised with basic knowledge of herbs and immune function.

I know this is an old thread but there is not much on this out there-- I am 2 weeks into this protocol and for sure feel worse so far ( breathing difficulty is my worst symptom). for anyone who used these how long did your herx last and did it ease up eventually? did you get better?
