I have buhners book treating lyme and co-infections 1st edition and I still can't seem to find any good herbs to treat different strains of rickettsia or TBRF?? I'm kind of baffled. Has anyone else had any type of tick borne relapsing fevers or rickettsia any type?? I hvnt met many ppl that hv so advice is a little hard .

I have TBRF and have been told by two LLMDs that it is treated the same as Lyme ... at least as far as antibiotics are concerned. Perhaps the same is true of herbs.

buhners Healing Lyme second edition ( his last Lyme and co book ) gives the following main protocol for spotted fever rickettsias

Japanese knotweed
Salvia miltiorrhiza
Chinese skullcap
cordyceps
milk thistle

along with NAC, vitamin D, b vitamins, and selenium

TBRF is a borrelia organism unless i am mistaken so i would assume the usual Lyme herbs would be fitting there also.

thanks I have these herbs already assuming I HV whatever it's targeting. I've never tried the salvia as I was scared it had to do with the salvia plant that ppl smoke.

it's just one of the Sage family - it's not hallucinogenic as far as i can tell and i haven't noticed any extreme herx symptoms from it - just some mild tingling right after taking it - and i am now on quite a large dose of 3ml of tincture 4x a day - so 12ml in total per day - and think its helping me

a little in the brain - where I used to get focal headaches - and in the soles of my feet.

It's really not a big deal though. a noticeable sensation - but not very intrusive or limiting in any way - just unusual.

I take it as a good sign that it's doing something - but in an entirely tolerable way.
for me anyway.
