It's been 2 weeks since my last A-Bab dose. I needed a break because I think it hit me hard (increased fatigue, heaviness on the back of head, nausea). I'll be starting up again soon, but will be focusing right now on detox (incl. taking BW Detox 2). My fatigue has impacted my daily tasks and the ability to detox in other ways. I've been wondering about taking Eletheuro so that it can bump up my energy.

I hate being so inactive.

Have any of you taken this on its own or with other herbs? Any significant impact in decreasing fatigue? I don't have Buhner's book with me nor am I on facebook to check the latest info he's released.

Where is a reputable place it can be bought?

Any and all suggestions are welcome! I need to get out of this rut. It sucks. mad

P.S. before Lyme was even in the picture and my fatigue was still a symptom, though not as bad as it is now, someone suggested ginseng which I brought up to my ND and she was against it. Is Eletheuro the same? Will it make me crash as soon as I have a boost?

I have taken Eletheuro and it's actually my favourite herb. It gives me lots of energy. I made my own tincture and bought the herb from Mountain Rose. Some days I wouldn't make it without it because I am not a couch person, I have to keep going on, I don't sleep enough and I get tired some days. I am super active, always doing something, but I am not as sick as I was at one point, just some remaining stubborn symptoms.

When I take it with other herbs, such as howthorn, it does not have the same effect. I take Howthorn just at night because it makes me very sleepy. It is an immune modulator so if you are still full of these bugs it may give you a herx. That's why maybe your ND advised against it, but if you don't take any other abx or antibacterial herbs, I think you will be ok.

You could give it a try, just be sure to start off on a very low dose. As Simela said, it's an immune modulator, so it will bump up your immune system and could cause a herx.

I buy my tinctures from Woodland Essence - and Buhner recommends them.

Thx all! Right now options are Woodland Essence and iHerb. From what I remember when reading Healing Lyme, Buhner suggests the brand Herb Pharm however there are two types of Eletheuro, one that is 2:1 ratio and the other is just a regular one I guess, less potent.

Which one should I order? Woodland essence only sells one kind and they don't specify the ratio.

My ND (not LLND) said no to ginseng, not Eletheuro. She said if she was to have me take ginseng, it would be the same as drinking coffee: immediate stimulation and then it wears off very quickly.

Eletheuro - or Siberian Ginseng - is not a stimulant like other ginsengs.
