Last week I started Buhner herbs for mycoplasma, sida Acuta and then skullcap up to 20 drops Twice daily. On Saturday started combo with rhodiola, Eleuthera and schizandra, went up to 8 bid. On Monday started houtuynia, up to 8 drops bid today. Also I took cholysteramine only 2 oz Monday and Tuesday , had low bowel movement. Yesterday did big physical effort, almost like 8 mins on treadmill. Today I woke up feeling horrible, foggy, no stamina, pain all over.
Also since last eek when stressed my myofascia pain in my chest, between my breasts gets horrible, have had pain in between ribs, Dr did x ray and fine.
I want your opinion if I should blame the herbs, or as Dr R says in his book, herbs almost never make u herx; and blame it on my effort and stress yesterday.
Thanks for your replies,

in my opinion you ramped up the herbs way to fast. Some people cant handle 2 drops of Hout. I would drop the hout and rhodiola/Eleuth/Schiz combe and go back to just Sida and SkullCap. Buhner now likes Hout better than Sida, so make a choice and use up the sida first. Using the two together may cause to much die-off. I would suggest Jap Knotweed as part of the first phase. Its good for a lot on things and may help with inflammation.

Get stable on a few items for a couple weeks increasing the dosage by a few drops every other day should help. Then introduce Phase 2 items one per week rather than all at the same time

Agreed - that sounds like high doses too quickly. Especially the cholestyromine, which can cause very intense herxes.
