supplement advice

If it were me, I would buy the alkaseltzer gold, probiotics, epsom salts, tumeric, GARLIC, organic lemon juice not from concentrate, apple cider vinegar and a dry brush.

Start with the detoxing. You don't want to go all gung ho and have your llmd have something entirely else planned for you. After you gently and slowly detox with each thing a little at a time (except the lemon water can be done immediately and so can the dry brush and probiotics with so side effects) then add one new detox item slowly to your routine. If it takes you 2 weeks and you still haven't got all the detox items in that is FINE! It means you are going low and slow and that is how you win this game of kill lyme.

about the 3rd week of detoxing then buy some Japanese Knotweed. NOT resveratrol. You want the real deal.

I absolutely love Sagewomanherbs.com because when I had a question I could call them and they were so extremely helpful and super fast shippers!! The fastest I found.

When you buy the JK, it would be best for you to also buy the CC, Eleutheros and Ashwaganda. You can get the all from the same place.

When you start them, start with one at a time - one drop a day.
If after a few days, everything is okay, go to one drop twice daily.
After few days, go to one drop three X daily.
Continue until you are on 3 drops three x daily.

Then add in the next herb - again one drop a day. (You can add it to your first herb in the same glass)
After a few days, do one drop twice a day. Continue until you get to 3 drops three X daily.
Then start the next herb until you are taking all herbs at a low dose.

It's best that you get all herbs in at a low dose...they work synergistically.

Then you can start increasing one by a couple drops, and then the next one, and so on.

I started transitioning to Buhner's Lyme, Babesia and Bartonella protocols in early August of last year....and I followed the advice that Girlie shared.

Probably because my earlier treatments targeted Lyme mostly, I was able to get to full doses of the Lyme herbs rather quickly.

And, you are right - it took 4 months to get to the recommended doses of the Babesia and Bartonella herbs. Why? Because I didn't want herxing to impact my life too much and, boy, did I herx on those herbs.

Obviously, herxing means the herbs are effective.....not everyone needs the full recommended doses to heal.

Buhner writes extensively in his books that his dosing recommendations are just that - recommendations. He writes of tiny women being able to take teaspoons of tinctures and 250 lb. men being leveled by 5 drops.

The biggest takeaway from it all is listening to your body and finding an effective dose.

And, it just makes sense to take advantage of the synergy of the herbs.
