Thanks. Would you do Lumbrokinase instead? Significant difference in effectiveness versus Serrapeptase?...
Thanks Garzie and Running Wild I am trying Arthur Andrew serrapeptase. It is bringing about more powerful Herx than the Doctor's Best serrapeptase I was using. I Herx with increased arthritis pain. I...
Can serrapeptase be taken at the same time that I take antibiotics on a empty stomach? Or do they have to be taken at different times of day? I am trying Arthur Andrew Medical Serrapeptase. It has...
Has anyone found a reliable source for microdosing psilocybin? Interested due to remodulation of brain patterns and possibly immune system....
Thanks Chapelle!...
Thanks, Girlie...
I got up to 2.25ml 3x/day of Andrographis tincture My symptoms were improving up to a couple months ago, but recently as I've increased the andrographis (and other Buhner herbs), arthritis symptoms...
Still taking boswellia. 2.0ml 3x/day. Buhner recs boswellia as anti-inflammatory for arthritis. Chinese skullcap is a huge disappointment, but I can't function on a downer like that. Full dose is...
Discontinued today. I got up to 1.5ml 3x/day and felt drugged, like I had taken a sedative....
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/skullcap#dosage Chinese skullcap has also been associated with lung complications, and other types — including the American variety — may cause side effects like...
Thanks. Interesting study on eliminating encysted Lyme. These essential oils were added directly to the test tube. Have you seen any study on how these essential oils survive digestive system action...
If you have a link for that study Boswellia study, I'd like to read it. Buhner's research is thorough. He makes no mention of boswellia killing anything and no mention of myrrh....
(@JovaLyme) Boswellia: I looked at Buhner's book. If you don't have arthritis from Lyme, I don't see how Boswellia will help. The coming of the 3 wise men (astrologers) is an interesting Middle...
Boswellia has been part of my overall improvement. Not sure what it does outside Buhner's protocol....
Buhner recommends Boswellia for Arthritis, p227 Healing Lyme, second edition, Expanded protocol for Lyme Arthritis....
Thanks potsnpans, walkingbyfaith, and Milocat (Milo and Otis may be the greatest comedy team ever) My current herbal tincture protocol 2.0 ml Andrographis 3x day 2.0 ml Japanese knotweed 3x day...
Buhner recommends Chinese Skullcap to remodulate cytokines. Considering adding to my protocol. Anyone see any benefits from this herb? What dosage?...
I'm doing Buhner's Lyme protocol. No evidence of coinfections. I read Buhner's book. Very complicated at some points, but also very useful. I am going to use Cowden as my back up, but I think...
I've been on Buhner's protocol about 8 months. Doing a lot better until I took Kudzu. Lot's of trial and error in being your own doctor....
Wow, near puke, that sucks. How many mg/day of doxy are you taking? Kudzu is cut back to 200ml/day for me. If arthritis flare keeps up, I'll eliminate Kudzu from my protocol. Big disappointment. Sage...
Thanks, so far I am backing off taking Kudzu after 8pm. It has helped with fatigue, but not with inflammation....
Interesting. Kudzu has been either a herx or a setback for me. I am going to give it a couple more days. Have either of you used Chinese Skullcap? Did it help, if so how?...
Kudzu has me wired. How did it help you and why did you stop taking it?...
I have been taking Kudzu for a few days. I have gotten up to 300 ml/day, a little more than half a teaspoon. The herb seems to help as an anti-inflammatory and to clear the mind, but I have started...
Thanks for all the good ideas. and for sharing your personal experiences. I think it's time for me to back off on the Japanese knotweed and andrographis. Maybe try 10 drops 3x/day and go from there....
Buhner recommends 1/4 tsp 3x per day as starting point. 1/4 tsp is 20 drops with my dropper. I started out at his minimum dosage and have not gone up from there. Do you think I should back off even...
The higher I raise the dose, the worse it gets. I went with the dosage on the sage woman bottle. Maybe, I should call them and ask about dosage....
Thank you for your responses. I am wondering if either of you have any information on how long this pain will last. At least for the time being, it does seem to be getting worse. Do you have any...
I am using 60 drops per day each of Japanese knotweed and Andrographis. Not a high dose. When I take either or both, it exacerbates Lyme disease arthritis symptoms across my body. I'm guessing, that...
Hi Astroman, I have not retested it. I have had no indication of improvement until recently. I was using the Rawls protocol, which I discontinued, because I slowly declined for 6 months. I am now...
Hi Astroman I subscribe to this thread, so I got your note. What do your want to talk about?...
Hi PeteZa. Thanks for the advice. I just don't want any dentist scraping at my teeth to try to get this white stuff off, if my teeth can simply be restored through minerals. So, I was looking to see...
Hi Everyone, I recently got white etching around the edges my 4 lower front teeth. It looks like white vertical lines around the edges. I floss and brush daily. Teeth have always been sensitive, less...
I agree with doxy 100mg 30 days 2/day not being enough to do anything. My personal experience bears that out. From reading his book, Lyme Unlocked , he generally prefers that we be on herbals alone,...
Hi PeteZa and 1000 Daisies, I agree with both of you. Buhner Healing Lyme was the first book I read. It was the middle of winter and I was feeling extremely ill. I was not able to successfully put...
Hi Girlie, From listening to him and reading all of Lyme Unlocked, I would say that he feels antibiotics are a last resort with chronic bacterial infections. At the end of his book, he says that...
I just wanted to add that I scheduled Bill Rawls as speaker for our group in Richmond Virginia on 8-5-17. He seems very kind. He praises Stephen Buhner and readily credits him for the origin of the...
Thanks mm57553 At least according to the Univ of Mich article above, some vitamins are OK with doxy. It's beneficial with vitamin B & C for instance. I was thinking I'd have to do same as you. I like...
My LLMD rotates my antibiotic every 2 months. So now I'm on Doxycycline 100mg 2x/day. Aside from the issue of the low dose, my greatest concern is decreased absorption because of minerals. There are...
Thanks, but I don't want to grow cultures. I had a lady look at my blood with 5000x microscope. A comrade of hers had been doing same. She said that he advertised and the FDA swooped in on his office...
Thanks Traveler. That makes sense. What doesn't make sense is the FDA prosecuting people for looking at and identifying Lyme bacteria in blood under a microscope, when labs are growing Lyme bacteria...
https://www.lymedisease.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Image13-link-pdf-brenner.pdf I got this article from an earlier thread. What I don't understand from this article is how the lab obtains the...
Hi Akreative I'm a 54-year old US male. On losing friends, I can relate to your boyfriend. Lyme disease makes me feel weak and like I can't do anything without falling apart, from a muscle skeletal...
I once had a CN, ILADS member tell me to treat for 6 months after symptoms end, although she was advising me on Chronic Lyme...
Hi Girlie I get hands and feet sweating. Then both get cold really easily. Keep heat pad on floor under my desk, both to dry out socks and warm up feet. Also, foot and calf cramps at night. I sweat...
Hi Girlie, Wish more docs were like yours. In Virginia, at our nurse practitioner office, tick bite is 3-5 days doxycycline. Tick bite with raised bump at site of bite is 14 days doxy. I believe full...
Thank you Tooty. Wish there was a like button for posts on this site. I'd definitely hit it for your post. My tech used a 5000x with a camera attached. After more than 2 years of negative western...
The NHS in the UK follow whatever the CDC spews out. Unfortunately.[/quote] Extremely sorry to hear that, I thought the Brits were smarter than us. And the Canadians too. Talk about the blind...
