Beyond Balance tox-ease

Just wondering if anybody has taken this - if so, what dosage? My doctor suggested trying these but didn't tell me the dosage and it's not on the bottle. I am no longer using that doctor so I can't call and I have tried looking online to no avail.

Thanks guys!

Thanks Lymie Girl. I have capsules. A "serving" is 4 capsules, and I am wondering how many times a day you take them. I will definitely start with 1 capsule.i am curious about the tinctures. Are they by prescription?

Here's the tincture called Tox-Ease GL. At first glance, the price seems high (not sure if it has more liquid?):

I was on the Tox-Ease GL for quite a while. I started with just a drop or two and worked my way up to about 20 drops a day over time. I found it wasn't too difficult to increase. I don't know about the capsules.

Honestly, it's kind of hard to tell when taking so many different things. Sorry, I know that's not much help.

Hello Lymie Girl (I love these names, lol)

I found this thread while trying to find out more info on Beyond Balance products. I've been on Samento and Banderol for over 7 months now. Not up to the proper dosage because I wasn't tolerating more than 15 drops/day of each. Previously I had been on Amoxicillin for about 11 weeks when treatment first began.

I was doing well on them until March of this year when I began having chest pains and dizzy spells as well as heart skipping beats and flutters. Also experienced some shooting pain in my upper back after coughing, sore for 2-3 days after that. Had complete cardio and pulmonary work ups and only thing found was a heart arrhythmia, so I am attributing this to Lyme which was my first suspicion.

I was thinking that my llmd would recommend that I get back on abx but this time for a longer time period, but instead she recommended both BB-1 drops (starting w/ 1 drop twice a day and gradually increasing to 20 drops twice/day) and also the ToxEase GL drops (3 drops/daily as needed). They certainly are pricey! If my calculations are correct, Beyond Balance estimates there are approx 500 drops per 1 oz. If this is the case, I would eventually need to purchase one every 12 days? At about $60 each?

I'm sorry to be long-winded. I guess I just want to hear about people's experience with these products to see whether they are worth the investment. I know every one is different and we are all affected by the bacterias in different ways, so what might work well for one person may not for another.

But for how long should one remain on BB-1 for example?

I appreciate any response - thanks so much.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for responding! Interesting that the chest pain and fluttering could be herxing, I hadn't thought of that. I forget that you can herx even after being on a certain med or herbal for a long period. My LLMD has been nice enough to communicate with me through brief e-mails since I am a 4 hour drive from her, so I haven't seen her in person for over 6 months. So far I've ordered the BB-1 drops but haven't started taking them. I will have 2 weeks of vacation (staying home) beginning next week, so I thought it would be best to wait until the end of this week to begin BB1 in case of herxing.

When I wrote my doc I was also wondering if I should try increasing the amount of Samento and Banderol since I never did get up to the recommended dosage. She didn't explain why the change to BB1, I think she was just addressing the fact that I was asking for advice on going back on abx or not and maybe she thought that the Samento and Banderol weren't working for me? Hmm.

On another note, I purchased a bottle of Serrapeptase (40,000 iu) on my own several months back but had never tried it. After reading up on it again recently, I started taking it on Friday. Probably not a wise move without consulting my doc, but I did. Today is Monday and I am definitely herxing. Neck and back pain and feeling off balance. I'm going to have to stop since I need to get through this week of work before vacation starts.

Your input is very helpful - so you had some muscle pains with BB-1? Do you think you were herxing or did they not go away?

I'm updating my notification so that I'll see responses quickly, btw!

Thanks again!

Thanks Sarah, will do.
