starting buhner protocol advice needed 😊😊

Start with the Knotweed, as little as you can. After 3 or 4 days, monitor how you feel, then add in the 2nd herb. 3 or 4 days later add in the next.

Once you're on low doses of all herbs, start upping doses of one herb at a time, then wait several days to check for a reaction.

Doing it slowly like this seems can seem frustrating, but I've learned from experience it's a lot easier than adding/upping a bunch of stuff, feeling crappy, and then trying to backtrack and guess which herb gave you the reaction.

I agree with Mustard Seed's explanation of starting the herbs. I would even encourage you to start off with breaking open the capsules and only taking about half of one to start for the first few days, then raise it up to a full capsule for a few days, then move on to the next herb.

Japanese Knotweed is a good place to start usually, as it's anti-inflammatory as well. Astragalus will raise up the immune function areas that will fight the Lyme infection, so it could be the hardest to start, so be sure to start with the lowest dose possible.
