So I've been on Bryon White Formulas (A-Bart, A-L, A-Bab, A-P, NT-Detox, A-Inflam) for between 6-9 months. I went to a new lyme doctor today who wants to do a stool test which I feel is of great importance as well. Anyway before the test you need to stop antibiotics for 28 days and antiparasitics and probiotics for at least 14 days. This practitioner doesn't have experience with Bryon White so I'm not trusting her to give me correct info and I don't dare call my old practitioner who prescribed them.

My question is do I stopped the Bryon White Formulas abruptly or do I taper down? I know they are strong herbal antibiotics so I assume I should stop them for 28 days prior to the stool test. Wondering if anyone has experience with this?

The Docs plan is to super-charge my immune system with supplements I can take without test interference. I know many of us have been there but I'm hoping I don't come crashing down.

Thanks again for the collective wisdom that has been gathered and shared here. Thanks to all of you!

he is probably trying to do a provocation of sorts . the herbs really shouldn't affect test much . is stool test?
i had a absolute borrelia test come up positive after bw tinctures - they are strong how many drops are you on a day ?
it may he personal preference as some docs believe pulsing is good ; gives them a chance to uncyst and change from lform but my old doc said when i wanted a break " do you think the bacteria takes a break?" keep us posted

I appreciate your response. I was on 30 drops each of the BW Formulas. I decided to stop them abruptly along with all my other supplements. This is day 2 now and I am surprised how much better I feel. There is more ease in my body (less stiffness) and I am able to move better. Much less pain raising my arms. I still have inflammation but it is more normal/fluidy. So I think diuretic teas might help with that.
The test I had to stop all for was the Metabolomix test https://www.gdx.net/products/metabolomix. As far as I can tell it is an extensive nutritional profile. I will be doing a stool test as well in a few weeks.
The next thing on the agenda is a ProLon fasting mimicking diet for 5 days. https://prolonfmd.com/pages/prolon-core-offer?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI24OwkLGi_wIVD1RyCh0ZNg6xEAAYAiAAEgIg7fD_BwE . This I know is needed I've gained 90 lbs in the 20 years of undiagnosed lyme and I need a real shake up. But it will be REALLY rough but it is only 5 days. No supplements during this time either.
