So I looked back thru old threads before posting this in hopes of finding some info.

But I started Cistus Incanus Klinghardt protocol tea for Babesia and Lyme, per instructions of my LLND. I took 1 cup a day for 3 days (2 loose tablespoons of the loose tea steeped for 10 minutes in a litre of water).

I had significant decrease of neuro symptoms initially. Then 3 days later began waking up nauseous and hanging out on bathroom floor for hours trying to throw up and having horrendous diarrhea.

I also got super crazy sore neck and upper shoulders and my head is hot and throbbing, I just lay around with ice packs.

Next day (today) I woke up puking my guts out at 3 AM. I also have spleen and kidney and liver pain, but it is not very severe.

LLND says I need to take a 3 day break from Cistus and detox and then reintroduce with only 1 tsp of loose tea a day.

I am wondering if anyone else has herxed on cistus tea? Or if it caused digestive distress? I can barely keep bone broth and lemon water down today.
I was really hoping it was a “normal person” flu but I am not fevered or achy all over like I usually am with a flu. Just my neck and exhausted and brain fog like a herx.

I appreciate feedback

Sounds horrendous so sorry you are feeling so aweful.
I have never had any issues with cistus tea although there are people on the forum - Traveller - I believe, who have. It is supposed to have no known side effects. You dont really have to take it so strong it is very effective and you can use the tea leaves from one cup again. Even thought it dosnt effect me at all such a strong dose I think would make me ill too.

I am very allergic and I have reacted to almost half of what I have tried to take. Stop the cistus tea for a while and if symptoms go try a small amount later and see how you go. My best bet is that you have picked up a stomach bug very easy to do. But you will only know for sure in time. It is trial and error unfortunately for most of us.,

Sounds like a horrific herx. So sorry. Hope you’re able to detox and feel better very soon.

Are you only taking cistus? I got herx from cistus my symptoms got lot worse. Did you had that symptoms before taking cistus. Cistus is also a heavy metal chelator of sorts.
