Trying something new... "Bulletproof Bartonella Drink"

So my new years resolution is to finally get rid of this blood based infection... And it might even involve doing more testing... For example, maybe I don't even have bart anymore allthough my remaining symptoms are all strongly indicative of bart. Maybe I have that haematropic mycoplasma (a kind of mycoplasma that likes red blood cells and causes symptoms like bart), or who knows maybe I have a low intensity babesia.

I will something that treats pretty much all 3 anyways.

I decided to combine the concept of bulletproof coffee and buhners herbs to sustain myself. Because otherwise I'm simply not consistent enough in taking the buhner herbs, especially since I work full time. I am hoping that this will work for my lifestyle.

So what I will have in the morning is the "Big Bad Bulletproof Bartonella Beating Beverage".

I will include the following:

Bart Drink To start the Day:
Half Cup Pomegranate Juice.
3000 mg L-Arginine
Milk Thistle 600 mg
2 droppers CSA
2 droppers Houttuynia
ecgc 400 mg
Japanese Knotwed 2 droppers
2 droppers Hawthorne
Mixed In 2 bags of Hot Green Tea
L-theanine
Curcumin 250 mg
1 scoop Grass Fed Butter
1 Cap Brain Octane Oil
Xylitol or Stevia if needed sweetener
All in 1 liter of double purified water from my fridge jug mixed with lemon and cucumber.

So I tried making it just now... And it tastes really good! I think I can have this everyday for my breakfast, and drink it until 2 when i will have my lunch. I will have another one when I get home.

Anyways when I first started drinking it I thought it was pretty good. But I didn't drink all of what I made so we will see if my stomach can tolerate the rest of it.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this kind of way to treat bartonella?

Peteza... I went right to maximum dose right off the bat! I am getting impatient and I want this illness gone!!! Lol while I don't advise treating like I do... I also got my microbial load down very very low. I'm mostly normal but I haven't been able to finish it off yet. As of now I feel pretty good though!

I think this drink might work for getting off abx and finishing this illness off! I was able to drink a morning drink of this, and an evening drink of this today, and it tasted pretty good

So you have Babesia or Bartonella?????????

My Bart keeps popping back up after I kill it. That Houttuynia dropper wasn't strong enough for me to get a herx. Does it for you???? Trav's tea knocked my hat in the creek. I herxed too strong. I have used a couple of rifampin combos on abx too all producing some herxes.

I am kind of beating a dead horse but did you try high dose Arteminsin for Babesia? It put mine into remission.

I wish these things were that effective for me, or rather I wish I could find out what's preventing them from being that effective. I don't know if it's the methylation, thyroid and/or adrenal connection, myco, or, like you said, some low grade Babesia, or even one or more of the less pronounced infections, viruses, protozoa, etc. I'm kind of thinking out loud here, sorry. It just sucks. Maybe it's a combination of those things?

I just can't help but feel like, if I could just figure out what that first layer is, the rest would come a little easier.

Anyway, yeah, I can take 3 tablespoons of knotweed powder in infusions. Granted, tinctures are supposed to be stronger, I think. Still seems like a lot though.

*shrugs*

If that concoction you got cooked up there doesn't do it for you, I don't know what will - that's the whole weapons stockpile you're throwing at it.

BIOFILM?????????? It stopped my treatment cold in its tracks. So did MTHFR problems. Just ideas.

Good for you for taking recovery into your own hands! And coming up with a way to take the herbs that is convenient and makes sense to you.

Buhner does say that the herbs can be mixed in any combination, as well as taken with food, so this course is as good as any and may be an alternative for those who can't mix/dose 3x daily.

The doses you list are quite high so be prepared for a reaction within a couple of days if you haven't previously gotten yourself to those dosages.

If a herx does happen you will have to try and find out which herb is responsible - the only drawback to starting everything at the same time at high dose.

Hi, question: have you actually purchased the "mycotoxin free" coffee from Bulletproof diet? I have been doing the coffee at home. I am using just a very good coffee.

Mpost- I only use bulletproof sweeteners such as xylitol, stevia. Turns out they are also good for infections lol! I heard about the xylitol biofilm busting capabilities.

Jackie- not even sure if I have babesia too be honest, I would have had a bad babesia herx and I don't get one. Who knows maybe I do have it.

Rowingmom- thanks! I need something sustainable that I can actually follow and comply with daily! This might work for me. I do believe I herxed last night. I felt fluish with body burning a bit, and had vibratory symptoms come back, but my body temp is normal not low like it was when I was sick. I think the bartonella is being forced out of the cells, or smallest capillaries by the l-arginine. I think the l-arginine forces it out of hiding sort of speak. But i feel good? An increase in symptoms but I feel good overall, I think it's a good sign considering it's been just 2 days.

CD- to be completely honest I doubt I have even have babesia. Both my LLDs said I don't have it based on symptoms but who knows, I was just saying maybe it's a possibility? Maybe just adding in artemisin to this combo should take care of the babesia info have it? The powerful herx from babs... I didn't experience that so I doubt I have it.

Creative girl -- yes I did purchase the bulletproof coffee, both in coffee bean form, and the pod form (for when I'm at work). I like it actually and feel like it is good quality coffee. Not sure about the mycotoxin issue. It has been proven that mycotoxins are an issue in coffee but not always, and usually not the case in some higher quality brands... But this BP coffee is good quality coffee and I don't in the slightest way ever feel sick or any negative health affects from it.

So far I feel pretty Good! But I have noticed an increase in bartonella symptoms last night, I believe it's a herx and forcing the Bart out of hiding.

I didn't think I was dealing with Babesia, either and neither did my LLMD.

He had no explanation for my inability to break the plateau I'd hit on abx that was maintained after almost 6 months on the full Cowden protocol (despite herxing).

It was due to a few hot flashes I had on Cowden's Babesia-specific Enula that I got to wondering about Babesia.

Healthy people walk around with asymptomatic Babesia and Bartonella infections. Even the CDC acknowledges this on their website:

www.cdc.gov/parasites/babesiosis/

"Although many people who are infected with Babesia do not have symptoms, for those who do effective treatment is available."

www.cdc.gov/bartonella/clinicians/index.html

"Most cases of cat scratch disease (CSD) resolve without treatment", although some patients may develop complications from disseminated disease.

You may know that cat scratch disease is the henselae strain of Bartonella

If healthy people can have no symptoms of Babesia or Bartonella and still be infected, it's entirely possible that those of us dealing with any of these infections could also be infected with Babesia and/or Bartonella....and not necessarily have any symptoms...or have mild symptoms...or just one symptom (mild or not)

As we all know, these bugs form biofilm with each other. Well, treating for the various infections makes the others more vulnerable to treatment.

I herxed with Lyme symptoms on Artemisinin. And, following Buhner's full Bartonella and Babesia protocols along with his Lyme protocol brought me from 90% this past August to my current 98%....and I only got up to the full doses (1/2 tsp 3x daily) of the Babs/Bart herbs in mid-December - I'd only been taking 8 drops each in the beginning of the month.

There are many more strains of Babesia (and Bartonella) than tests available. New strains are being discovered every few months.

It seems the various strains don't always respond to a singular approach and resistance is common.

As you probably know, herbs work synergistically - they enhance the actions of each other. I'm very happy you are taking the various herbs you're taking - especially CSA because that combination has helped many people with Babesia.

Adding Artemisinin further down the line might benefit you.

Still, I wouldn't discount Babesia as what might be holding you back from full healing.

You've got a powerful treatment crafted for yourself. I hope it brings you to the finish line.
