Stopped Treatment - what do you think?

Hi all,

I ran out of abx over the weekend, and also got lazy about taking my herbs. Didn't do my regimen Sat or Sun or today. Woke up feeling pretty decent on Sunday. Today I feel ok too. This is the best I've felt in over a month. Thoughts???

Is this a coincidence, or could it simply be that I was just on an endless herx and this is a nice break for my body? I'm not planning on staying off but it does make me wonder.

I welcome any ideas here...

I took a break because my body needed it. Within four days I was having severe anxiety, couldnt go out into a store without being completely overwhelmed and was losing my memory. It came on very subtly. I felt great the first couple of days but it was downhill from there. My doctor said you can try to cut off them and see how the symptoms are. I think it depends on how long you have been on. Also I can usually start to tell when I am due for the next dose of abx bc I start to feel terrible. My body tells me.

We aren't waiting for a relapse, but we do take breaks every weekend.

Our daughter pulses her herbs 5 days on 2 days off. I think her body needs this break to help it detox.

We had good luck with pulsing while she was taking multiple abx plus tindamax. At this point, only stopping abx for a couple days could bring her out of a herx, continuous didn't work well for her little body.

On the weekends she has no symptoms, but when we start the herbs back during the week she has a few. I know when she isn't herxing with the start of herbs on a Monday, that it may be time to increase A-Bart.

At this point we are holding the Buhner herbs steady (and discontinuing everything but japanese knotweed on the weekend) and slowly increasing A-Bart. I am in no hurry because she is doing so well.

When she discontinued abx I was too scared to quit everything. She and I are both maintaining great health with herbs.
