My new ND put me on Japanese knotweed, Cryptolepis and Sida Acuta. Which microbes would this particular combination be targeting? ( I have Lyme, Bart, mycoplasma, no Babesia)

Knotweed - Lyme, and Mycoplasma ( but mainly used for its anti-inflammatory properties)
Cryptolepis - all three
Sida - Mycoplasma and Babesia - poss Lyme as well - (not seen any scientific papers on Sida and Lyme)

Tku. And would you say this is enough? I’m only 6 weeks in with this combo... don’t I need more herbs to hit all forms of Lyme ( active, cyst, biofilms,etc)? And don’t I need more for bart?
( meeting w ND again in 2 weeks , but just questioning if this combo makes sense.)

Sida - bart and babs

Crypto is for babesia.

Why no houttuynia with the sida for bart?

Idk. I’m able to tolerate what I think is a lot of each of these, so I’m wondering if they are doing much. I’m at 3/4 tsp each of sida and crypto and 16 drops jk ( still titrating on all 3). Having just a bit of what I think is mostly bart herxing( shin, foot and hand pain, anger issues ,plus Rapid HR, very tired)

Wow! That’s interesting. Sida acuta is by far the most potent of the 3 and most difficult to tolerate, and you’re taking 3/4 tsp.

Japanese knotweed is the most tolerable of the 3, and you’re taking 16 drops.

Cryptolepis can be hard for some, too.

How long ago did you start the protocol? I used to get bad herxes around the 3 week mark and would have to back off for a while, and I was only taking 3-4 drops.

sida is the toughest for me too - followed by cryptolepis
but I can step up over time if I take it slowly - currently on 60 drops of each per day

knotweed is pretty easy - i take 20g of powdered root per day
