I decided to switch LLMD's and change directions on my treatment. I'm going to start Cowden, but now have tons of other supplements he wants me to start:

Lumbrokinase
Interfase
ImmunoPRP colostrum spray
Colloidal silver
MRS mushroom formula

I am hesitant to take all this and wonder if it will be too much for my body to handle. Is it normal to be taking this many supplements? I'm still doing probiotics, turmeric, fish oil, and magnesium. I just feel like I'm loading my body with so much and I want to be able to determine what works and what doesn't. He also pulses abx, but wants to give my body a break until he gets some bloodwork back.

Should I just introduce one supplement at a time and see how it works? The supplemental doses are huge quantities too...like 2 capsules 2x a day. I guess I'm trying to approach treatment w/ as minimally as I can, but in this a case of more is better?

Gosh, Sniogra,

I'm sorry you didn't get any answers sooner. I bet a lot of folks are posting tonight.

It's not abnormal to be taking a lot of supplements when you have Lyme.

I would be careful with the biofilm busters until you're on a fairly high dose of antimicrobials. Serrapeptase made me get really sick once, but that's bc I'm on such low doses of antimicrobials. Once the cysts are busted, the spirochetes come out, along with their toxic mess.

I don't know anything about the mushroom formula.

Silver is an antimicrobial, so go slowly with that one.

Colostrum shouldn't be a problem at all.

Other than the colostrum, I would say, yes, proceed with caution.

Thanks Margaret- wow I realized I have a lot of typos in my post. Lyme brain.

Although my new LLMD is offering many ways to tackle the Lyme, I feel like he's throwing them all at me at once and I have to sift through it all and figure out what would work for me. He also mentioned bee venom.

Another question I had was he started me on his modified version of cowden and I noticed that he left out banderol in his treatment plan. Is it a problem if I leave out banderol? He's also starting me out on samento 8 drops 3x a day.

Any cowden people know more about the protocol? I'm hesitant to follow my llmds plan instead of the actual protocol on nutramedix website.

Many of us need to take a lot of supplements in order to help balance out and support our body because of the dysfunctions that Lyme causes and the need to help our bodies heal. And once you start taking them multiple times a day, it can really add up!!

I don't blame you for being hesitant!! I would encourage you to call your doc and ask why you aren't supposed to be adding in Banderol, since the study done on samento and banderol being as effective as Doxy requires for both herbs to be used. Lyme doesn't heal with a lot of things, it's always best to stick to protocols that we know work - unless they just don't work for you, then you and your doctor have to get creative.

Lumbrokinase is to help break down blood clots - so your doctor is likely thinking that it will help to thin your blood slightly so that the medicines/herbs can get further into the smallest of veins.

Interfase is for breaking up biofilms, and as Margaret suggested, I would be cautious introducing that into your routine as it will open up the biofilm and release the Lyme bacteria that has been hiding in there so that they can suddenly be affected by the abx - which can result in herxing.

The M/R/S mushroom formula will boost your immune system to help fight these infections. I would suggest that you start this right away, but start off on a low dose and build up to whatever dose your doc wants you to take.
