I went to see a new LLMD and was so confused when I had two strains of Lyme and Bart show on my testing.

June will be 5 years of treating ☹️ Countless abx. Supplements. You name it. Mepron and all the nastiness that comes with this disease.

So we looked closely at my gut health (thankfully not in the tank with abx use!), my organic acids, mycotoxins, Lyme testing (and waiting on adrenal & hormones). I’m officially on Cowden with no abx. If after 3 months I’m not seeing improvement he doesn’t want to waste extra time & money and to move on.

I like his approach of being targeted and really looking at this from various angles.

Anyone else seen success on Cowden? I’ve only done a couple of the tinctures with abx but realizing my old LLMD didn’t have me on close to the correct dosing to see benefits.

Current issues are the two Lyme strains, Bart, slightly elevated mycotoxin (down from previous exposure), and some vitamin deficiencies.

What have you liked and not liked about Cowden? Especially if you’re working and have to travel with the concontions?

I haven't taken the Cowden protocol....but we do have many members who have. Hopefully, a few of them will post here.

How are you feeling after 5 years of treatment?

Yup I'm one of the members who did it. I got pretty far after 5 months treatment, I would say about 80% better. After that I didn't notice any improvement. I did it in conjunction with a keto-like diet where I cut out all carbs so I don't know which of those pulled more weight but my markers did go down for Lyme after Cowden, though I guess from what I hear that test is unreliable.

Did you ever use Cowden in conjunction with abx ?

I felt a solid 75% better on abx over the years but I truly have a goal of kicking this things ass for good.

Did you do the full workbook and kit, or only selected tinctures ?

Funny enough I was herxing a little on day 3 of the detox ! But I never detox well.

I’m just excited to see how this goes.

I did not do Cowden with antibiotics no. I'm thinking I'll have to go the antibiotic route now.

Also wondering for folks who tried Cowden - how many followed the book or added tinctures to other protocols ?

What worked or didn’t work long term?im so new that I’m strict on the book

I followed Cowden by the book but my timing was different. I choose to start after 2 months of abx. Abx got me to 40% and Cowden got me to about 70%. My big gains came in months 4-5 when it introduces the parasite herbs. in month 6 I also started the Dr K Parasite protocol and had a reaction and that led me to Heavy Metals/Mercury. I bought month 7 but I stopped after month 6 to focus on ACC protocol. My intent was to start back up on month 7 after I settled in with ACC but after it's been 5 months now and at this point I still don't want to mix anything with ACC,.

I feel I had good success with it and it did a lot for my brain fog and muscle fatigue. I also traveled with it in a shallow plastic tug with a snap lid. If flying, you just need to check your back. No issues there. Also when your brain challenged , I found the book and program to be great.

Knowing what I know now I would not take the Sealontro for HM or any HM protocol or supplements outside of ACC.
