I am doing Buhner's protocol. I'm also working with an energy practitioner (Donna Eden), doing biofeedback/Rife every few weeks, and seeing a DO who does osteopathic manipulation.
I've never taken antibiotics. I started feeling better within a week of starting JKW... I was amazed! I didn't expect to feel better so quickly.
I had a big nasty herx when I started with Japanese Knotweed (2 capsules from Green Botanicals), so I backed off, started 1/day and have been very slowly adding the others.
I had Buhner's newest book but I was following the recommendations from the website, so I went out of his current recommended order, but it's still helping.
I'm now up to 4 JKW 4x daily, 4 Cat's Claw 4x daily. I was doing collagen protection already (bone broth, selenium, Vit C, gelatin.) I added Skullcap and red sage, which I'm now up to the recommended 3x daily.
I just started Andrographis...once a day for now.
Question: Are all of these immune remodulators necessary? Are just a couple acceptable, or should I be taking all of these?
Immune remodulation (pg 215) - Unicaria tomentosa (Cat's Claw), Cordyceps mycelium (a mushroom), withania somnifera (ashwagandha), Eleutherococcus senticosus, Glycyrrhiza (licorice)
I'm taking cat's claw, some ashwaganda in an adrenal support supplement, and I have some eleuterococcus (which I haven't started taking yet).
