Is there anyone uses or currently using Resveratrol, that can share any results? I am taking 1 capsule, 500 mg daily.

sdarrah - Are you using resveratrol in the sense of it being a concentrated form of Japanese Knotweed and as part of a Buhner-like herbal approach? If so, many of us here have probably had some form of experience with it, myself included. Or if you are talking about a generic resveratrol supplement, which could be made out of grape skin, etc. for some other purpose, that might be a different story.

If you’re doing Buhner protocol - he suggests JK

I have only taken Japanese knotweed. I have always bought the 1 lb bags of powder from 1st Chinese Herbs. I have used it non-stop since 2017. Will probably use it for life. I tolerated it well, but I did have some herxes when increasing dosages - usually increased joint stiffness/pain.

I use powder Japanese Knotweed, usually Nuherb brand. I never noticed a herx from it and take about 2 tsp. per day and have for quite some time now.

Walkingbyfaith….curious why will you use Japanese Knotweed for life? What co-infections did you endure? I’m new and currently being treated. Trying to learn more as I’m finding out this disease is a lifelong journey.

Buhner says it’s a good herb to take indefinitely. It protects the endothelium. Lyme and bartonella both affect the endothelium. There’s kind of an assumption that it’s nearly impossible to completely eradicate these infections. There are also other infections that affect the endothelium. If I am not mistaken, COVID does. Japanese knotweed is easy for me to tolerate, safe for long term use, and very affordable in powder form.

I have been unable or unwilling to treat full on with antibiotics for a number of reasons, so I remain on a maintenance protocol with herbs and experiment with other supplements or drugs that I suspect might be useful for me.

Just noticed I didn’t fully answer your question. I had a positive test from DNA Connexions for Lyme and Ehrlichia and have had signs of bartonella and possibly babesia since childhood.

Walkingbyfaith -Thank you for sharing about the Knotweed. I am learning so much from everyone on here, truly takes a village. Wow, possibly Babesia since childhood, same here!
