I am presently newly diagnosed, haven't seen a llmd yet, taken it upon myself to begin supplments. I am dealing with chronic lyme (from birth probably, activated 6 yrs ago during severe mulitple life traumas, and with co-inf.)

My question is, I am presently taking nine (9) different tinctures. It would take me three (3) hours to take each one individually, and with the 20 minutes apart from each one.

All of this on an empty stomach, meaning whenever I wake in the morning, I have to wait three hours taking these things, before I can eat. Is this right? That can't be helping me, having to wait to get food iinto me.

I understand we are not doctors, nor able to give advice, but any suggestions are welcomed.

Rhodiola

teasel root

olive leaf glyderite

wormwood

clove

milk thistle

black walnut hull

cat's claw

banderol

Thanks to all

Most herbalist do not think you need to space tinctures out at once. 9 at one time is a lot so I might split it into two doses.

That being said if they are 'tinctures' as in alcohol based and not glycerite or ACVinegar - you don't need to space them out that far away from food. Tinctures are absorbed into your blood stream because of the alcohol. I would say 45 mins before food or 1 hour after food. That is being very conservative - I think you could cut the times down on both of those.

I combine 5 tinctures at once.

you should be okay on the liver side of things taking milk thistle...

Many thanks for the info. I'll look into everything and keep myself aware of how things are going inside.

Sometimes I am smart, sometimes I am smrt. Right now, I'm smrt....on that note....

countrair ~ when you say 'get ono your complete detox protocol for a few weeks,' exactly what are your refering to as my complet detox protocol?

Also, when you say, 'prior to starting treatment,' are you refering to doc meds?

Thanks for spelling it out for me. My brain is yet to be free from the confusion.
