LOL Mr. Mike, what are you buying?

LOL Enjoy your latte! Let me know what you think of the book. I've got 3 of his books and I didn't read them yet, just broused through. So, I'll be busy with these 3 for a while and making tinctures :)

Well, I'm still experimenting and didn't read his books. I don't fall in love quickly, I need to know the person before I invest emotional feelings. LOL

My kids already make fun of me because I said I love Dr. K, so maybe soon I will love Buhner, too. Who knows?

If you see this, depending what alchohol you use, you may not need to add water. Buhner adds water because he is using higher proof. The highest I could find was 80, or 40%, so that means it's 60% water (according to Mountain Rose Herbs). They actually recommand NOT to use any water. So I am doing it your way now.
I did:
Cat's claw
Ashaganda
Echinaccea
Anise Seed (For Pinella)
Red Root
Jap. Knotweed
Eleuthero
Howthorn
Houttuynia
and one other--I can't remember

I ran out of vodka and glasses, so I ordered more and waiting to come on Tuesday.
In the meantime, I will do some infusions and teas.

I love the folk method! One has to start on low dose anyway, so I figured, it doesn't matter if you know the dossage and do it right, if you can only tolerate a drop or 2 of something

LOL Ok, so you are hard to get! LOL I haven't heard the word floozy in 10 years! Ha ha

I am curious how I will do my teas, too. That's why I didn't make them yet. LOL
I got the instructions from a fellow poster for infusions and I think it was the powder herbs, but not for whole herbs and I have a coffee grinder. Sounds like we each have the opposite of what we need LOL

It must be in one of the books, I just have to find the info. I'll let you know what I can find. I also bought tea bags made of fabric that are reusable in case I will need them. To be honest, I have no clue what I am doing, but reading, it comes to me. I usually don't screw things up because I am reading a lot before I do something I've never done before.

Just wanted to let you know that from what I am reading, it does depend on the plant. Some can be done overnight in the rice cooker and some in 15-20 min infusions, and some will lose properties if you do it either way. So that's why I didn't rush. I will read about each herb and then find the right way to do it (hopefully) in one of the 3 books I have. It seems it's not a one size fits all, as I understand it so far. I'll be glad to change ideas as they come and please do the same.

Mister Mike,
This is not a tea, but see if you want to try it?

"Dear Stephen,
Do you think it is possible to make a tea with all the capsules that you need for your day except for andrographis and sip it all day? Would it be as powerful this way and would the taste be bearable? Sipping a tea all day is quite nice and would relax more the GI track from all the capsules. Just a thought. Also what do you think about the smilax in the liquid form and what would be the dosage?


Stephen’s response:
If you want to, you can try combining ¼ cup of each of the herbs you are using and then adding one quart of hot water to them, cover and let steep overnight. Strain (and squeeze the herbs to remove all liquid) the next day and drink throughout the day. See how that works for you. I am not much a fan of smilax these days but I would suggest 30 drops of tincture, 3-4x daily."

I had preordered the book, like 1 year ago now, and can't wait for it to arrive. I will probably get the Kindle edition as well.

In reading the Herbal Antiviral book over the last couple of days, I notice that for a few of the herbs Buhner says that some constituents are extracted better in water than in alcohol. So his recommendations for these herbs include infusion in the water fraction over night, with the inclusion of the alcohol fraction the next day.

I think this is his reason for using water/alcohol.

@ Simela - you are experimenting - good for you! I have learned so much since essentially heading out on my own with treatment. It is so empowering not having to depend on someone else to tell you what to do.

Research, use intuition, experiment.

Thanks, rowingmom! You are a big part of my herb craze LOL I started and now I can't stop! I wish I knew about it when I first got infected. I could have used it for myself and then on the kids.

Simella, where are you getting your houttuynia ?
Is it fresh herb or dry herb?

To anyone who has thick blood or coagulation issues- do not use red root as it acts as a strong coagulator, as per Buhner.
Poke root can be used instead.

I delayed initiating red root for just this reason. However red root decreases rouleaux across endothelial tissues, a problem caused by bartonella, as per Buhner. I have found that at low doses (7 drops 3x daily), it works well to significantly improve circulation to extremities.

We do not have genetic coagulation issues.

So babesia, Erlichia, anaplasma is his new book. But aren't Erlichia and anaplasma the easiest co-infections to eliminate? Seems 6 weeks of tetracycline alone will completely eliminate the majority of these cases.
