no problem
if the sida and houttuynia is of good quality i would have expected a herx within about
3 days
doses seem to be enough / in line with buhner and would defo have given me herx reactions ( i am moderately sensitive to herx reactions - not crazy sensitive to a single drop or anything like that - but say 10 drops 3x a day would be noticeable for me )
i always found sida v strong
houtty a bit less strong in terms of dose required for herx - but doses were typically a bit higher than for sida and it seemed to have long lasting effects
for me if i am going to have a herx like reaction i will normally feel it within around 3 days - sooner if doses are higher
but herx is not well understood- and some do not seem to experience it much - if at all - others have v strong effects from v small doses
for me herx from herbs has always been much stronger than herx from antibiotics
my pet theory for this is that any antibiotic that worked in the test tube - but when tested on mice in the next step and made them lie on their side and look ill ( herx) may well have been rejected as something they probably should not give to humans - ergo most abx have relatively mild herx effects compared to herbs / things nopt tested on lab animals
if the cinnamon and clove products are extracts - not oils - i would not read much into the lack of herx effect as the essential oils were the components found to be strongly antimicrobial by Zhang et al
if they are instead water extracts - they will be very different chemicals and we dont know if they have similar antimicrobial effects
short answer - maybe check the quality of the source and give it a few more days before deciding
