1. Protecting endothelial structures (pg 214) - Polygonum cuspidatum (Hu Zhang or Japanese Knotweed)
2. Cytokine remodulation (pg 214) - Salvia miltiorrhiza (Red Sage or pinyin: dānshēn) and Scutellaria baicalensis (Skullcap or Huang Qin)
3. Collagen protection (pg 214) - Great lakes gelatin, Vit C, Selenium, etc - My personal recommendation for collagen is Protein Essentials Hydrolyzed Collagen.
4. Immune remodulation (pg 215) - Unicaria tomentosa (Cat's Claw), Cordyceps mycelium (a mushroom), withania somnifera (ashwagandha), Eleutherococcus senticosus, Glycyrrhiza (licorice)
5. Antispirochetal (pg 215) - Andrographis
Step one: Stop the inflammation brought about by BB, breaking down the collagen throughout the body.
Step two: Support the formation and strength of collagen.
Step three: Design specific herbal interventions for the unique symptom picture of the person.
Step four: Strengthen the immune function.
And only in step five, use herbal anti-spirchetals to control the infection.
On step three: Design specific herbal interventions for the unique symptom picture of the person. -- this is where you address the most horrible symptom you have. If it is racing heart you would try for some heart healthy herbs (Hawthorn, motherwort, etc). If it is lymph, at this time you would address that (try Red Root). This is why Buhner's books are important.
I had great success following Buhner's ways. I did not try and reinvent all the work he had done. I stuck to his ways.
However, I also listened to my body and when something was not agreeable, I put it aside and moved on. I always knew I could come back later and try it again.
I detoxed like my life depended on it.

The above is why I love Buhner's book versus his website. It is way more complete and explanatory.
I am SO "High" today on day 2 of 100% FULL dose of Stephen B Protocol...I keep forgetting to ask everyone about
this. I add 1 heaping teaspoon of Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade 10 Lb
by DiatomaceousEarth from Amazon to each of my 3 doses every day. Anyone know if this is a good or bad thing? I use it to make my own ant poison and thought if it sliced up an ant, MAYBE it will piss off all my squirmy lil buggers in my body too? So am I gonna die or have I done a good thing?
