I am currently treating what I believe to be Lyme Disease with the Cowden Protocol, as well as some additional detox methods and vitamins. How long does it take to feel better at all on average with the protocol? My biggest symptoms that bother me is costochondritis chest pain, constant hunger for air and it takes a lot of effort to breathe, and swollen glands. I ordered some of the drops on their own from the Cowden Protocol at first, but didn't start herxing at all for a few days, then it came on strong. Since I had to take a slightly higher dosage to see any reaction at first, is that a good sign that I can treat this faster than many? I ordered month 3 since it was the best value for the money and I am following the regimen now, since month 3 has all the things the first months did anyway. I am just following the instructions for the 3rd month now even though I have been on it less than a month since I needed higher dosages to react. I am still taking all the herbals from the early months plus additional ones with the month 3 protocol, it was just better bang for the buck. Any success stories and timelines for the protocol?

NebulaShadow - I'm a little concerned that you jumped to month 3. Even though you're not having horrible herxes...you could be setting yourself up for one.

Over time the toxins can build up if you do too much at once...and you could be hit hard.


I hope you are doing lots to detox. - multiple methods daily.

Reaction is not the goal.

Slow and steady and detoxing is the goal.

Less and less symptoms is the goal.

Reaction is telling you that something is out of balance. Either too much herbs or not enough detoxing.

You want a nice healthy balance. Hurting and pain are not goals.

You mentioned air hunger. Does Cowden have a protocol for babesia? I do not, nor have I ever, done Cowden. I have read of many that had great success with Cowden though.

I have used that protocol but I am familiar with the herbs and the monthly schedule. To be honest there is really no set timeline for feeling better. As Peteza stated the goal is to have less and less symptoms. You will get there eventually, but rushing things may not be the best. If you get more and more symptoms (and hopefully you won't) but that may be your body telling you that you've gone too fast.

Samento and banderol brought lyme to the surface ..like literally saw the ketes in blood stream and had a positive absolute test .but it felt like candy in comparison ti some things...not to knock cowden..i love sparga and burber and pinella ..but cat claw is cats claw and there are way better antispirochete herbs

It depends on your load ,coinfections and how soon you got it ...?i have been sick years @nd 9 months in i have some ok hr out of a pretty horrific day. .
it sounds like you may have babesia ..you can do yournown giemsa stain with regular light field microscope
