I'm taking the advice of some very educated and knowledgeable people on this site and trying a Babesia challenge with Buhner's protocol. I'm Igenex positive for Bart and Lyme but Babs negative. I'm doing a challenge with Cryptolepis but cannot find dosing info anywhere. I did read at one point that it should only be taken for 5 days but I can't find where I read that now. I'm on full Buhner's protocol for Lyme and Bart and was wondering if anyone had the dosage info for the Cryptolepis for Babs. Also, what might I expect from a "Babs" herx if indeed I do react? Thank you!

I have made just about every mistake you can make taking Buhner's herbs. I did not know if I had Babs and so I also wanted to take Cryptolepis just to cover that base. Somehow I got it in my brain that you only take it for 30 days (brain fog and being my own herbalist was not fun). I went low and slow starting with 1 drop, 3x day and slowly worked up to 2 droppers and then started counting the 30 days. When I reached 30 days I stopped and boy did I feel horrible. I went back to reading and re-read and it said CONTINUE to take Cryptolepis for 30 days AFTER the life of a red blood cell. Sheesh!! Live and learn. Red blood cell can live for about 4 months.

All my symptoms really overlapped and I can't tell you exactly what was lyme, babs or bart.

The site I'm linking below has a comprehensive list of Babesia symptoms:

Here is where I got my 30 day info from:

I like how this woman writes and it is so easy to understand her.

Great insight into Babs

I think I will add Goldenseal into my protocol. I generally take it when I am sick and can handle it very well except for the burp taste. Just another precaution to make sure I am well.

Buhner mentions a 30-day treatment period for Babesia in his new coinfection book that includes that particular infection.

He does go on to add "repeat as necessary".

Suzy Cohen's words about length of treatment are quite humbling.

cd I did not like her doom and gloom about babs. I am way too positive of a thinker to stay with her but I do like her take on treatments and she is so unbiased. She puts them all out there.
