What brand is best to get and how much should I take?thanks

I have taken Green Dragon Botanicals (capsules) and Woodland Essence and Sage Woman Herbs Tinctures.

All three are on Buhners list of recommended sources.

You should start low (a couple drops if tincture) and increase slowly.

Well hopefully you will get your shipment quickly - it takes about three weeks for me to get my orders (west coast of Canada)

I live in Mass. and Woodland Essence delivers to me within 2 days so I think you should get them quick. I have had very good experiences with their shipping and the quality of the products.Take care, Jo

No, you're fine.

Matter of fact, let us know how you like their product, prices and their customer service.

Nu herbs is getting a great reputation! Another new company that is joining the herb market. They sure sell a lot of bulk items and that is a huge price saver.

There are lot of new companies selling herbs that I am sure Buhner would recommend if he re-wrote his book today. His book came out in 2015 and surely it was written at least a year before its publication.

I do look for organic when buying my herbs.

1st Chinese Herbs is another Buhner-recommended source and they are a distributor of a large number of herbs made by a large number of manufacturers.

NuHerbs and Plum Flower are two of the brands 1st Chinese Herbs sells.

I, too, look for organic when buying my herbs but many are wildcrafted. I've learned to look for verification that the herbs have been tested for contaminants.

Thank you guys for the reassurance. This is all new, and I have so many questions.
Posted 3/31/2017 6:08 PM (GMT 0)
Sage Woman Herbs is now Sage Consulting and Apothecary. Their grand opening at their new store is tomorrow. They are passing out herbal jello shots! I so wonder what those are like.

I don't recommend you doing that much right off the bat.

How about a couple of drops to start and see how you do.

The general rule of thumb for all new meds is LOW and SLOW. Meaning take a very low dose and slowly go up until you reach the desired maximum dosage.

Now for some, 5 drops will be their max and for others 1 tablespoon is their max. This is where listening to your body is so important.

If you find you don't feel well, back off for a day and get back on track before you start upping again.

Ok thanks

That is a tincture?

That is way too much. that would be approximately two dropperfuls 3X daily.

Those are general doses on the bottles...not just for lyme specifically...
We need to start lower because of the potential to herx.
Posted 4/3/2017 8:33 PM (GMT 0)
Yes it is
Posted 4/3/2017 8:35 PM (GMT 0)
I took half a teaspoon already I won't take anymore

Don't feel alone in doing this..... it isn't the first time, nor will it be the last, that someone has taken the dosage on the bottle.

It can cause a herx. www.tiredoflyme.com/the-herxheimer-reaction.html

This is when the medicine causes toxins to rush to get out of your body and the pathway is not clear enough to handle the load.

So, we recommend detoxing. www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html

I do at least 6 of those a day and always have. When I had full blown lyme symptoms, I was doing at least 12. They too need working up to. You don't do all of them at once.

The general rule is be gentle on your body. Your body so wants to be rid of lyme and you need to find a way to help it get strong enough for your immune system to take over.

I'm on foxy and ceftin and haven't herded in weeks so maybe I will be OK. I hope lol
Posted 4/3/2017 8:52 PM (GMT 0)
I think you mean doxy. I did ceftin and biaxin for a month and did not feel anything. Well, eventually I got sick to my stomach but I did not herx.

Just be careful with doxy and sun exposure. Doxy can make your skin more sensitive to sun and you can burn or get a rash.
Posted 4/3/2017 8:54 PM (GMT 0)
Ok I will and yes doxy I got my first cell phone and it automatically changes what I write lol damage technology
