Sally has three antiobiotics she needs to take 3 times a day. She also has to take probiotics 3 times a day. She needs to take the probiotics 30 minutes before or 2 hours after any antibiotics. Sally also needs to take a binder, but it can't be taken within 2 hours of anything else. When the heck is Sally supposed to eat or take the binders?

LOL! You weren't kidding! Poor Sally!!

If you take the first dose of abx as soon as you wake - and the last dose with dinner - then, depending on how many hours you are up, you should be able to fit it all in.

So, let's say you get up at 7 am - take your abx. Then at 9 am, take your probiotics.
Eat lunch at noon and take your abx, then at 2 pm, take your probiotics.
Then eat dinner at 5 pm and take your abx, then at 7 pm take your probiotics.

Yep!

I think some people take it in the middle of the night, but honestly, I have no desire to do that for me or the kids - especially with a kid who already has sleep difficulties.
More power to you if you do it in the middle of the night... seems like the best timing! But I couldn't do it for my family! LOL

And FWIW - I am so tired of this daily schedule for all four of us - especially when the kids are in school. Summers are much easier for their insane daily schedules.

Having said that, I'm deeply frustrated with most supplements lately and have stopped using most of them. I was noticing that one kid seemed worse after taking his supplements, so I stopped most of his... and he seems better without them. Still trying to figure that out because it doesn't make logical sense (perhaps I'm wrong)! : |

Daisies, go with your instincts! Momma Bears know best. There is not right or wrong in lyme treatment. It is all guinea pig style for each individual.

Gosh, we have identical twins that don't even use the same protocol.

I'm one that usually takes binders in the middle of the night, particularly if I have slept lots during that day and don't hardly have enough hours to fit in all I need to do for treatments.

Daisies - check the binders and inactive ingredients in those supplements. I'm allergic to soy, and have discovered that all too many supplements will use soy in them.
