Starting xylitol and lactoferrin, any experiences?

Has anyone had benefits from these? Like you herx and actually feel that it helped maybe a few weeks later? Did it make a dent in your treatment?

It was part of an extensive protocol - so difficult to decipher how much it contributed to my healing/remission as I was taking abx with it.

i was experimenting with bromelain as a biofilm and fibrin dissolving agent

i had reacted noticeably to bromelain and had to build up slowly from 1/2 a 3000gdu capsule per day to 2x 3000gdu per say

at that point i tried to move up to xylitol - and found even 2g a day of xylitol way too strong for me to handle - for me it was many times stronger than bromelain - strong herx symptoms - sleep disturbance, headaches , body aches, pain etc - i had to stop after just a few days as just could not function

i plan to use it again - but will need to work up to it slowly

Thanks Garzie, that's helpful to me as well. I was thinking about starting Xylitol today or tomorrow.

Have you taken it before? If not - be close to a bathroom.

Thanks for the heads up Girlie! Never took it before.
Just took 500 mg as we speak. I know that's pretty low but wanted to be safe the first time.

Is yours’ in capsules?

I took mine in water (a tsp or two in a glass of water)

Thanks for the dosage Girlie!

hahaha it was pretty affordable so I figured I might as well 😂

RainyCloud said...
Girlie did you take the 2 tsp's several times a day?

Nope - just once in the morning.

Ok yeah so it took a while to kick in but now I'm definitely feeling it.... My skin is also flushing now

Thanks Garzie. Slept 14 hours last night, woke up and went back to bed again. It's very strong!

For reference 2 grams appears to be half a teaspoon of Xylitol. Might indeed be a lot for the first time. I was already on biofilm busters that's probably why I *somewhat* survived. I'm skipping today's dose though.

It's almost a month later and I still feel bad after taking the xylitol. It's not necessarily a herx (although that too in the beginning) but I think now it's just that the xylitol dissolved too much biofilm at once and now I'm dealing with the bacteria that were inside.

My lower back is so stiff, it's almost like a brick, hard to walk. My neck, shoulders the same thing. Also feel really strange all day long and out of it. And then there's the fatigue as always...

So be careful taking high doses right from the start like I did, lol..

I'll just add that I recently chewed Xylitol gum for about a week (not even thinking about the biofilm effect). I started slowly having symptoms increase in a seeming abnormal way like chills, fatigue. Finally realized it could be the gum and stopped. It affected me for awhile though. My mom chewed on one piece of the gum several days back, and she felt worse for several days. The only thing I know of to contribute her feeling worse was the gum. It is quite strong no doubt.
