I'm doing a small portion of the Cowden protocol to treat my Lyme. The doctor told me to increase by 3 drops until I herx and then hold steady. What are some of your early symptoms of herx reaction?

What are some die off symptoms that you've experienced upon first starting your treatment?

Without Burbor for detox, I have shown a significant decrease in mental function, memory recall, and reaction times. I already had an extremely significant amount of fatigue, so it's hard to tell if the fatigue has gotten any worse. My eyes are red and watery, and every now and then I have the sharp shooting joint pain. That's not constant at this point. What are some other symptoms I should look for? Just not really clear on when I should level the dosage out.

Thanks!

I am on Abx. but steep decrease in mental function, memory recall and action times are very prominent with my herxes.It goes away and gets better after each herx.

I was like an Alzheimer patient and now regained 75% of mental function.I mean do not get scared that this stayes like this and detox.

I certainly feel like an old person. I'm 23, so it's pretty scary when I'm driving down the road and suddenly forget where I am.

Wow - This is exactly like I feel. I'm like an old person. I walk so slowly. I talk slowly. Everything is slow. I even think slowly. I'm glad I'm not the only one with these symptoms.

I'm hoping this goes away once I get off the abx. I was taking the cowden protocol too, but had to stop because both abx and cowden is too much herxing.

Oh yea. For sure. Antibiotics by themselves is bad enough, and vice versa. My doc told me that I could do triple antibiotics, or I could take the herbal route. Nothing sounded good about triple antibiotics. Haha. Good luck!

Glad I'm not alone in this. If you haven't already tried, Burbor has been my friend.

Ya, I'm on doxy, rifamprim, azithromicin, nystatin twice a day. It pretty much destroys the day, cuz you get sick feeling 2-3 hours after you take the pills. Altho I think the sick feeling was the same on herbs.
