Herbs advice please

Hi all so this is what I’m taking at the moment

Not at full dose yet going slowly with it:
Cats claw
Japanese knotweed
Andrographis
Have ordered Eleuthero (spelt right?)
Have ordered Chinese skullcap
Have ordered Sida Acuta
Have ordered pasqueflower flower (for anxiety)

I have been diagnosed with lyme babs bart and ehrlichia.

I want to start a herb for bartonella, which is the best one? Just realised it’s not in my healing lyme book. Do any of the above also cover bart/ babs?

WalkingbyFaith gave you some good information! Here is a bit more to help you:

From buhnerhealinglyme.com:

This is the basic protocol – please refer to Stephen’s book Healing Lyme Disease Coinfections: Complementary and Holistic Treatments for Bartonella and Mycoplasma for the most up-to-date expanded bartonella protocol.:

Sida acuta tincture (from Woodland Essence or [email protected]) ¼ tsp 3x day for 30 days

Hawthorn tincture, same

Japanese knotweed, (tincture, same dose (from same sources as Sida acuta, above), or capsules from Green Dragon Botanicals 2 capsules 3x daily)

EGCG 400mg +- daily

Houttuynia (Yu Xing Cao – 1st Chinese Herbs, powder – use “LYME” code at checkout for 10% off) 1 tbl daily

L-arginine 5000 mg daily in divided doses

Milk Thistle seed, standardized, 1200 mg daily

All for 30 days. (although Buhner says for 30 days, you need to take this for a minimum of 30 days, most often it's for a lot longer though - he clarifies this in his book).

PLEASE NOTE: If you have active herpes, chicken pox, or shingles DO NOT USE L-arginine.

I have just ordered the book and will get the herbs ordered tomorrow will go slow with them, I’m quite nervous about the potential herx and have been avoiding adding anymore herbs in but putting it off is making me nervous too!

Will try and up the detox

Great advice so far.

Please note, give daily herbs at full dose several weeks to see noticeable improvements. Don't give up on them 1, 2, even 3 months in.

It is helpful. Just don't be too anxious. It takes a long time but you are doing great! Don't give up and don't expect to see quick results. It can take 6 months or more to see changes. In my opinion.

I'd recommend using those herbs you mentioned with herbs John Hopkins recently exposed as persister cell killers, two big ones were oregano oil and artemisinin (Artemisia).

As well as using herbs and supplements that treat biofilms, such as stevia, xylitol, turmeric. Maybe try some enzymes to like nattokinase, serrapeptase, EDTA, or lumbrokinase.

You don't treat biofilms and persister cells, the infection will keep coming back just like persister cell bacterial infections like Leprosy, Tuberculosis, and MRSA.

I didn't have much luck just using herbs, using herbs and antibiotics worked well for me, good luck with treatment.
