I had been using the Buhner protocol for lyme since February, and good progress. I'd say 60% symptom reduction. I stopped having a herx reaction beginning of May. Things seemed to just get at a plateau and my intuition and words from a Dr. prompted me to mix it up a bit. So.... decided to flow with trying the Zhang protocol....
holy mackerel.. I thought you weren't supposed to herx for a few weeks with the allicin. Only taking two a day rather than the three recommended (I only weigh 97 lbs.) Relative to the herx reactions when I was REALLY sick, much better, didn't keep me up all night, but a herx is a herx is a herx and I just have to say... so happy! Cause, herx means progress. I don't think it is from the herb that treats bart...my guess is... the allicin.

I also had this vision/image when in a lot of pain last night - asking for wisdom from within- my body asking to take little breaks from the herbs that kill bacteria/viruses, and give it a chance to breath a bit.

I am going to experiment with this. Maybe 3 weeks of herbs, then 5 days rest. Not sure. Anyone else try this?

I remember Dr. Han saying, the one time he met, if I would be willing to experiment a bit.

He was a brilliant Dr., and although I don't have him here, going to flow with the notion, to mix it up.

Progress I think, progress.

turn YAY!! Yes! Progress!! Congratulations!! yeah

You've learned to listen to your body well, it seems, and I'm sure that will be a real asset as you continue on in treatment. I know it has sure been a blessing in my life.

While it's not at all necessary from the stand point of herb resistance, since you are doing this as you feel your body needs this, at least for now, then in my opinion that's exactly what you should be doing. Knowing how to avoid overloading your body and what to do when you do, can be a vital turning point. I've managed to learn how to support my body (well, mostly blush) in times of increased stress now - a benefit of reinfection????

Buhner also suggests experimenting some as well.

Traveler - thank you for the affirmation - I tell you, if it hadn't been for your counsel along the way I sure wouldn't be where I am now! Gratitude!
