Hi guys and girls,

I am currently on minocycline and artemesia annua but I want to ramp up my treatment.
So I thought about using Banderol and Samento aswell.

Is the Buhner Protocol more recomendable? I thought its quite similar anyway since Banderol = Cats Claw

I do have concern that they shouldn't be combined or so.

I have normal liver and kidney function according to bloodwork and ultrasound.

i think banderol is otoba bark - but samento is cats claw

(why they need to invent new names and introduce confusion i am not sure - marketing probably)

Buhner says all the herbs he recommends can be taken alongside abx

otoba is not on his list - but i dont see why it cold not be used -

Dr MR seems to think highly of this combination - and he tends to be pretty fact based

his article here implies he uses it alongside abx at least some of the time

BTW artemisinin has some unusual pharma kinetics

it seems the bodies excretion of this substance rapidly ramps up in the first few days - so that blood concentrations become a small fraction of those archived on the first day by day 7 or 8

buhner has references for this in his books - but i dont have them to hand

the drug is best pulsed a few days on and a week or so off, for this reason
