green dragon botanicals protocol

Hi at20148,
Any updates on your symptoms with the GD core protocols? What do you think is the dose that you started feeling significant symptom reduction?

thanks for letting me know Girlie, well it looks like they had good results with GD core protocol.

No adverse reactions but Buhner herbs did nothing for me.

While improving very much on doxycycline, azithromycine and ceftriaxon IV antibiotics.

After quiting those antibiotics I had a relapse and now my Bartonella infection does not respond to antibiotics anymore. I retried herbs. They don't cure me but do lower inflammation quite a bit and that actually helps symptoms.

Which abx did you try for Bart?

K07 & Lymebasics, thanks for sharing this. I am asking about GD because i was in lyme-based tinctures (alcohol based) that had Buhner's herbs in it for about a month and half and i really didn't feel anything (either good or bad). I got busy with life and now want to get back to a lyme protocol seriously. It seems that GD supplements seem like a good route since everything is combined and there seem to be somewhat positive reviews.

I took the GD Botanicals Japanese knotweed, Cat's Claw, and Eleutheros.

What I found after I ramped up , is it was a lot of capsules to swallow. (I was taking other support supplements as well) Just the GD capsules - I think I was taking close to 40 per day of just the GD capsules.

So, then I decided to switch to tinctures.

The amount of pills is for sure a disadvantage for the capsules and iam not sure how my stomach will handle all of those broken down capsules if i do go with GD. I've always thought that tinctures were better due to the pre-dissolved herbs and this is indeed why I went on that route from the beginning. I may just combine the two once I get up to 20 pills a day; best of the two worlds (that is if they are different...)
