herbs versus orthomolecular treatment

Hi y'all, I've been using natural remedies (coconut oil/monolaurin, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, oregano, olive leaf, etc...) and have been getting good results slowly.

I basically only have a few minor symptoms left but I wanted to try some other treatments to see how they worked.

Recently I've tried what some call orthomolecular treatment and it seems pretty darn good so far.

Basically, it's just using minerals and vitamins to treat yourself. The most common would be the salt/vitamin C protocol (which I haven't tried although i do take vitamin c).

MSM is the main one I have used the most with good results. Also, i will start with a vitamin b complex soon.

I've used niacin briefly but the herx was more intense than any other I've had and I stopped although I will start again in a week or so.

Boron/Borax would fall into this category as well.

All of these are seemingly beneficial to the body but also kill bugs/infections to some degree.

I know that many on here use some of these but they seem to be considered less powerful than herbs but I disagree.

I have to say that even small doses of these things made a big difference to me.

It seems that many who try these abandon them when they herx due to the thought that it's making them worse.

I still use the other natural remedies along with these minerals and vitamins but it's pretty obvious that they are very strong.

I'm not saying one is better than the other or that everyone should try this but it seems like we should explore these things a bit given how sick some of us are.

Does anyone have any input on this?
