Botanifuge / intestinal health

When I know nothing about something I turn to the reviews on amazon. I don't find many on there for this, but the ones I did read where positive.

So very sorry Marigold that you are having trouble. The ingredients in this Botanifuge are herbal and maybe that will be more gentle on your gut.

Have you tried bone broth? I have known a couple of people that had horrible gut issues and turned to bone broth, a cup a day, and have wonderful success stories.

Available at health food stores.

Hey Marigold!

Sorry to hear you're still struggling. I have not taken this product, but a look at the ingredients shows some well known and effective healing herbs: black walnut, quassia, oregano, artemesia, clove, garlic, plantain, pumpkin, barberry, goldenseal, etc...

I would just go slow, detox lots and listen to your body. Are you taking probiotics? If not, I'd definitely add those in as well.

I just started a product called CandiBactin BR for similar reasons and so far, so good!

Completely agree with you about the unhealthy gut being key to ill health and until that is in better shape and your immune system is working properly, everything else may be futile.

Hang in there and hope this stuff helps you!

MM- what made you start this product?

Peetza, thanks for the thoughts! Yeah, maybe it will be easier cause it's herbal. And thanks for the rec about bone broth... I did try that for a while a year or so ago... I think my body appreciated it... I remember initial die-off and then it seemed supportive. I'm vegan-ly inclined, but maybe I'll go back to it for the medicinal benefits..

Mr. Mike! It's been a long time!! How are you?!! I've slacked on the probiotics but will be more regular about it, thanks for that suggestion. That's cool the candibactin BR is going well! I believe I tried candibactin AR, way back at the beginning of my lyme treatment, and similar story as nystatin... Got too sick on it to continue... I guess further evidence that gut invaders may be a real issue for me. It's why I'm so nervous to start another such treatment.. But of course that's why it's so important, too.

I'm definitely having effects from doing this Epstein Barr treatment... But alongside that, yeah, I think I'd better focus on my gut.. I know you're supposed to hit parasites hard, but maybe I'll start with a single capsule.

As it turns out I'm still working with Dr. M. It's been a good fit lately. He has me on the DESBIO series remedy. It's homeopathic... Idea being your body activates its own defenses against the Epstein Barr. I think it's working because all of these symptoms I don't think about much (sore throat, swollen glands, exhaustion (as opposed to fatigue if that makes any sense)) have gotten very intense. I'd recommend it, based on my experience so far. From what I've heard, anti-virals aren't as effective against Epstein Barr as we'd hope!

I just got my Botanifuge in the mail. Trying to decide whether to start it tonight. I'm already pretty sick from the Epstein Barr treatment... But it's hard to put off treatment! I'm not good at delaying misery!!

So glad to hear you're working with Dr. M again! Interesting, I'll have to look into that DESBIO remedy. I tried the DESBIO Candida one and it did didley squat for me, but have heard great things about the DESBIO remedies in general.

Good luck with the Botanifuge whenever you take it. Hopefully it will help!
