How long should it take to get to full dose Buhner Protocal

buhner says around 4 weeks as a guide going 25%>50%>75%>100%

i think i did exactly that when i first started a few years ago - but that was just taking knotweed, Andrographis and cats claw - was doable but did give me aching bones - which i now recognise as herx like reaction

this time around i felt i was more sensitive as had been ill longer and built up all sorts of odd symptoms - and this time i also did a more comprehensive protocol based on his 2nd edition of the book - healing lyme - so i went much slower -

there were also some herbs i had never taken before - so i introduced those one at a time to make sure i understood how they affected me - but while i was doing that i didn't increase the others as that would have confused things -

think it took 6montsh or more to get to max dose of all of them - i may have been able to do it quicker - but i was making small improvements along the way - and not suffering too much herx so i didn't mind

there is quite a bit in his 2nd edition - including expanded protocols dependent on symptoms
the main new ones are Salvia M ( Dan Shen) and Uncaria Rhynchophylia ( Gau Teng)

my selection is below - mainly focussing on immune modulation and CNS inflammation -
numbers to the right are dose in ml - 4x per day

Uncaria Rhynchophylla - 4
Cordyceps Mycelium - 3
Salvia Miltiorrhiza root - 3.8
