Molecular size of houttuynia?

I’m thinking that because Killing the bacteria creates toxins and with treatment we are killing more all at once compared to the lifecycle die-off - resulting in higher levels of inflammation.

Anyone knows what's the molecular size of HH? Less or more than 500 daltons? Thank you! It's important to know it if we want to adress the neurologicall symptoms.

Houttuynia extract contains many things. It's not entirely clear what the active ingredients are. One possibility is decanoyl acetaldehyde. The molecular weight of decanoyl acetaldehyde is 198.3.

The size of the molecule is one factor in how well it crosses the blood-brain barrier, but not the only one.

The molecular weights of some common medications are:

valproate 144.211
metronidazole 171.156
tinidazole 247.273
dapsone 248.302
pyrimethamine 248.71
sulfamethoxazole 253.279
trimethoprim 290.32
disulfiram 296.52
amoxicillin 365.40
cefdinir 395.416
doxycycline 444.43
minocycline 457.483
clarithromycin 747.953
azithromycin 748.984
rifampin 822.94
rifabutin 847.005

Another question; What's the reason of herx rashes on Bart treatment? If we decreased the amount of bacteria... So pyrogens can ellicit an inmune response (dead bacteria fragments), but why dead bacteria fragments create more inflamation than alive bacteria?

My guess is that live bacteria have ways of actively evading the immune system, and dead bacteria can't.

I think you're right Girlie.

Girlie, have you had herx rashes on Bart treatment? I mean flare ups of rashes... more prominents...

Yes I had several different rashes during my lyme and mostly my bart treatment.

A few I remember:
One was red lines across my back (thoracic area) and also in the front of my body below the chest (at same time) but didn’t really look like the typical bart striae.
One was isolated raised spots all over my back.
One was a solid red patch covering my mid and lower back on both sides of the spine.
One was isolated lesions - that occurred when on bactrim - thought I might have SJS so stopped taking the med.

I feel very very toxic on HH-2... I'm starting to worried if it's a toxic reaction. And a lot of nausea.

Yes Girlie. But houttuynia have me concerned because i've read that it when administres by injection can cause deadlly anaphylaxis...

But you’re not injecting it right?


Why not just do the Rifabutin and mino for a month or two and then add in the Houtt?
