Hi everyone I’m into month six of treating with antibiotics. I just started Rifampin last week. I have the first month of the Cowden protocol as well. I’d like to do both together to kick this thing but time wise I’m really unsure how it’s possible to do both treatments at the same time. The people at the Cowden office said I can take their stuff with my antibiotics as long as everything is taken two hours apart from on another. I feel like all I do now is pop pills all day so adding in a bunch of tinctures seems overwhelming. Has anyone done both at once? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm just starting Buhner in addition to mino and Ceftin. My doc thinks it'll be a good idea. Just have to start slow and see how you feel. I could already feel the herbs kicking in after the first dose.
I totally know how you feel with the schedule being so rigid. Honestly I didn't even follow it when I did Cowden and I still noticed benefits (when combined with a healthy low-carb diet). And the tests agreed. The two hours apart thing is just for safety measures just in case stuff interacts but it shouldn't. I'd take the herbals/antibiotics away from other prescript
ions like thyroid though because they might inhibit absorption. But I don't even do that honestly lol. Treatment is already complicated enough.

You'd be crazy not to. Throw everything you can at it.
