I want to know if anyone has ever had a herxx like I am having now from byron white A BAB. I have been on it for a week. I started at 1 drop for 1 day then went up to 2 drops the next day. when I hit the third drop twice a day, it is like I was whammed with the most awful herxx, feels like i have pneumonia.

it mainly hit my lungs. I became congested with loose mucous being coughed up frequently lots of coughing. my chest is sore. I am aching all over stiff, headaches, stopped up ears, pressure on my head, feel like i want to die. It has been a week now, and it doesn't seem to be easing up. I know you are not supposed too, but I took 5 mg of prednisone just so I could breathe better. I have dropped down to 2 drops twice a day but today I am decreasing it back to 1 drop daily.

this is the strongest herb I have ever taken!!!

I have had some crazy herxing on A Bab. My sx were different but definitely due to the A Bab. Your best bet is to maintain the lower dose until sx start dissipating and increase detox as much as possible. You just need to slow down your treatment for a little while until the infection load decreases, your toxin load decreases, and/or your immune support improves.

Good luck! A Bab is powerful stuff. ;)

A-Bart did the same thing to our daughter. Herxes brought on within 20 minutes of increasing by 1 drop.

When you start up again start low and stay there for a week or so before you increase.

I also take ABab and it does cause bad herxes.  My LLMD states that it can sometimes take a couple of weeks for 1 drop to really kick in.  I take ABab twice a day and up a drop in the am for a week and then up another drop in the pm.  I will continue to stay on the increased doses for 2 or 3 weeks and then up again.  It will take me quite a long time to get to 15 drops twice daily.  I am in a constant herx with maybe only 1 day every other week of feeling halfway decent.  I, too, have a lot of mucus with constant coughing......drives me crazy.  Hang in there.  I am so glad this topic was mentioned.

I didn't take A Bab but I take A-L complex and my LD had me start much slower. He had me do 1 drop twice a day for 4 days then move to 2 drops for 4 days and on and on. If you start to herx drop back a drop or two till you feel better.

Remember to detox a lot to help get it moving out.
