Buhner herbs - for how long?

I am just finishing one year of Green Dragon Botanicals LB Tonic Protocol (3x3) and was ready to stop it. And suddenly started to get cheek and jaw tension in addition to increased cases of dizziness and shortness of breath. During this year period which followed a 3-month abx treatment I would get rare cases of dizziness, shortness of breath and prostate discomfort but would consider these minor symptoms.
Do I have to continue with the herbs and for how long? Or do I have to get back to abx?

PS. Another new symptom - slight Bell's Palsy on the left side of the face

I was tested negative for Babesia 2 years ago. Also they said that the symptoms are quite obvious and I did not have them.
Maybe I was conservative with the dosage. I will continue and will add Gou Teng. I got used to the routine anyway. My fear is that the infection will progress in the meantime beyond repair. I would be happy if things stayed as they are now if not improve.

It is more common to have a co-infection with lyme than not. I couldn't find the exact statistic. Just info stating that it is common. /www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26613664
If you are still having symptoms after a year of treating lyme, it might be a good idea to question your Dr.'s evaluation of not having co-infections. Have you checked this symptom list which compares lyme and co-infections? Does any of it sound like you? www.lyme-symptoms.com/LymeCoinfectionChart.html It would be relatively inexpensive to at least give some of the co-infection herbs in and see if you have a herx reaction. If you do, you know you are on to something. With this stuff, to me, it makes much more sense to navigate treatment off of symptoms and exposure.
Quoting Burrascano's work "In Babesiosis, no single test is reliable enough to be used alone."

You may not be taking enough per the conversation in the above site.

Powdered herbs last 6 months.

I keep mine in a cool, dark place.

I agree that you need to be taking higher doses. If you still have symptoms that might indicate Babesia, it would be a good idea to trial treatment for that as well.
