Second day on Banderol. Within 15 minutes of taking it I am really tired. Is this a herx? I was energetic this morning. Not bad, makes me feel relaxed. Just curious if anyone else experiences this.

I have never taken this.

It could be. I know I've had a "sudden" episode of serious fatigue hit me as an early herx symptom. Be sure you are detoxing well so you can avoid other herx symptoms in case this is the first of a herx for you on this herb.

Thanks! I am detoxing but not eliminating much since stopping the abx (sorry for TMI). I look like I have a beach ball in my belly. I think I'll go have some magnesium. I definitely think it is a herx because I wake up pretty energetic and once I take the Banderol I feel tired and a little foggy. Possibly a coincidence. Tomorrow will tell for sure. Whatever it's doing I'm guessing it's supposed to be doing that.

It doesn't sound like a coincidence. It sounds like the Banderol is effective for you!!

I would encourage you to increase the amount of detoxing you are doing though - remember, you are going to raise the dose and you don't want to be herxing horribly.

Trav,

At this point you should just send me a bill. Sorry for all of the questions.

This is what I am currently doing for detoxing:
-Yogi detox tea
-Dry brushing
-Water with lemon
-Spirulina
-Mostly plant based diet
-Probiotic
-Banderol
-Lots of supplements but they are support/not detox

What else can I be doing? Going to take magnesium now.

Fiber!!! You should not be "backed up" or look like you have a "beach ball in your belly." Elimination is super important. So since it sounds like you have not gone in awhile, a fiber item would be the best at this point.

For me?? I would go get a couple of pears at the health food store and a melon. Gosh I just bought a piel de sapo melon and it was so sweet - just like eating candy.

But this is my "go to" favorite when foods don't work -- /thrivemarket.com/organic-india-organic-whole-husk-psyllium?utm_source=google&utm_medium=pla&utm_campaign=Organic%20India&utm_content=801541107612&gclid=CN225rqU6s4CFY9efgodR4kAgQ

You really need to keep things moving in that direction.

I just ordered "flaxseed meal" today to go with my keto diet. plan to mix it in with unsweetened yogurt for breakfast. has fiber..

but, must importantly, good source of alpha linoic acid, which helps detox via Gluthatione :) It doesn't have the husk, blends in supposedly with smoothies etc.

Thanks guys,

I have eliminated fruit since I am on the candida diet. I made gluten free oats and had that this afternoon - so that has a lot of fiber. I do have flaxseed meal and will start adding that to my smoothies - thanks, forgot about that!

Excellent suggestion caramba!!

Do most of you eat fruit, gluten and dairy? I have been being very strict maybe I don't have to be that strict.
Posted 8/30/2016 11:29 PM (GMT 0)
While doing battle with lyme I did very little fruit. I mean maybe a little once a month. Gluten was done rarely. I had gluten free sourdough bread - Rudi's. Dairy, I did yogurt about once a week. Oh my gosh, I did cottage cheese often. I forgot about that one. oops

So I did not overdo those but I was not super strict.

Peteza,

Thanks. Oh good - I will keep being strict. I think diet helps a lot, or at least it cannot hurt!
