Help! Need suggestions on how to support my spleen. It is very inflamed (I believe it is from the bartonella). I got acupuncture this morning and he put in a lot of spleen points but it was so inflamed he couldn't even get some of the points in without too much pain.

Red root helps lymph to move and also helps spleen.

Any particular brands? Is it okay to take red root with antibiotics?

Snarf,

I use Red Root and do castor oil packs with a drop of Fennel and Geranium essential oils. Only use a drop. I learned this the hard way. I had a herx that lasted a week the first time I did this.

Feel better.

I used Red Root tincture and it helped me. I got mine on Amazon, HawaiiPharm brand and I was happy with it. It is a stronger quality than some others, 1:3, so make sure you only take a drop to test and see if you can handle it. Then slowly move up in the amount of drops and times per day. Low and slow - I'm sure you have read this here many times.

You can use Red Root with antibiotics.

Snarf the spleen is your largest lymph node and must be supported so good question! I have similar issues from Bartonella and I'm doing Red Root along with Splenetik by Soluna. I think you can only get Splenetik from a doctor but there are other botanicals that are specifically for the Spleen I would look into doing red root and one of these.

I take Red Root with lots of abx no problem.

Huddie I'm doing the castor oil packs every night. It just can't seem to keep up with the pressure on the spleen. Starting to wonder if I should back off antibiotics for a week. I already pulse 2 days on 1 day off though.
