Help is this Samento Herx??

I ran out of cat claw and Japanese knotweed yesterday (new shipment comes tomorrow from green dragon botanicals). In the mean time I substituted with Samento 1/4 teaspoon last night and this am samento+ Euleothero .....I am barely able to type as it is. As the day progress I am getting worse. I am extremely nauseated, lightheaded with weakness all over my body (like drunken person weakness) MS type....What is this?

I also had a kombucha smoothie with fresh fruit BURBUR drops, milk thistle and Q-10. Then added liposomal glutathione. OMG....

Any take on the way I feel? I still have trouble distinguishing an herx from neuro lyme symptoms.

PS I am also progressively getting very thirsty!!!! WTH!!! this feels so much like when I was bitten by a tick and they gave me one dose of doxy at the ER.....I felt like I was going to die 3 hrs later.

As far as I understand things, a herx is any new symptom (or exacerbation of symptoms) after a change in treatment (even detoxing).

Sorry taking Samento instead of Cat's Claw brought on a herx for you!

Without a doubt, you'll want to increase your detoxing.

30 days of abx is rarely enough to heal these infections. They probably did something but it's clear the herbs are hitting areas of the infection(s) not previously hit.

You'll get there.

I don't think the 30 days was a waste. I think you may have begun to kill some bugs. Of course, there is no real way to tell. And, because you did herx, that means you have more buggers to kill.

It is a long, slow process and there is no quick way to deal with this.

Don't be discouraged artermix, you will get there!!

Cats claw and Samento are similar. Were you thinking of doing both?

Buhner says that all of the herbs he recommends can be used with all of the herbs of all other herbal protocols.

He also writes about the questionable benefits of TOA-free Cat's Claw (Samento) vs. regular Cat's Claw.

Still, people herx on Samento as can be found when searching threads on here.

If you also take Banderol, please be sure to space that away from Samento as indicated by Nutramedix, the manufacturer of these products. Unfortunately, I'm finding that I can no longer link the Nutramedix Product Compatibility Chart to illustrate this for you.

Bottom line, Buhner suggests taking any herb you think will help.

You'll find that no one is doing the exact same thing as anyone else. Everybody's body is different and it makes sense that we'd all be doing different things for treatment.

Good luck no matter what you decide!!
