I'm planning on leaving out astragalus and going reallyyyy light on the cats claw. Any experience to share with chronic lyme? I want to properly rebuild my immune function but I'm so afraid of having extreme inflammatory response- I've had really bad reactions to pau d arco, anti fungals, even 1 lions mane tablet gave me nerve pain in my finger. Thinking of taking small amounts of eleuthero, reishi and adding astragalus later on if tolerated

Don't forget the Japanese Knotweed...it's a core herb that is in both the lyme and bartonella protocols.

Some properties of JK: Anti-bacterial, antiviral, immunomodulant, CNS protectant, anti-inflammatory
JK is a strong inhibitor of the cytokine cascade - making it a good herb for reducing herx effects.

It also penetrates the blood/brain barrier well.

Interesting that the lions mane gave you nerve pain.
There's been discussion here on the forum about lions mane being a healing agent for the nervous system.
