For detoxing I recommend baths, on bad herxing days I'll take a 4 hr bath and it takes the edge off. I use 1/2 cup salt and warm but not super hot water....
My EBV numbers have always been off the charts. I had a recent relapse and have managed to keep it mostly at bay with lauricidin pellets (2 scoops 2x day) and lomatium tincture (2 dropperfulls 2x...
Skullcap has really helped with my neuro issues, specifically with memory, thought retention, brain fog, etc. I take 20 drops 2x day....
I'm in the same boat, I've had EBV issues for years. Lysine and monolaurin only help me a little, but I just started taking a dropperful of lomatium tincture 2x day and my symptoms (especially...
I've gone both here and here . Both take some insurance....
I get mine here: https://cascadeintegrativepharmacyofseattle.com/product-category/byron-white-formulas/ ...
The cheapest way that I've found is to buy bulk powder by the pound and make the capsules yourself. It can be time consuming if you're doing most of your herbs that way or if you have a small capsule...
Have you tried cbd?...
I have recently been treating bart and my bladder went crazy, felt like a constant uti for weeks, I was taking loads of cranberry which made me feel worse. My doctor said it's interstitial cystitis....
I remember reading that it's autoimmune related, I have a few friends with different autoimmune illnesses and they also have them. I will try to find the article I read it in. My ridges are like...
I get mine here https://cascadeintegrativepharmacyofseattle.com/shop/byron-white-formulas-a-bart-1-fl-oz-30-ml/ Not sure how much it's actually helping me though, I've been on 14 drops for a while...
Thanks for all the input!! I think I'll keep going with it and ramp up super slow....
I started taking A-Bart and it's producing a very extreme herx. I've been treating bart with Isatis and Houttuynia for ~6 months. I've read past posts that said A-Bart causes bad herxing but didn't...
Yes, this is something that I've recently been struggling with too. I believe it's connected to my cortisol levels/adrenal issues. I've had steroids, ashwagandha, holy basil and alpha lipoic acid...
I stopped taking nystatin and started taking saccharomyces boulardii x2 day, I highly recommend it!...
Thank you for the kind words and invaluable advice! Omg I can't imagine having this long term. I went to the ER Wednesday because I kept throwing up my antibiotics. They prescribed me vancomycin but...
I herxed big time with Andrographis, it is super powerful. I had to start with 1 pill 1x a day and work up from there. Hang in there and keep detoxing!...
These symptoms made me suspect c diff: completely liquid diarrhea with a foul odor, cramping, and nausea for over 5 days. Based on those symptoms and my previous long term antibiotic use, my doctor...
Thanks for the replies everyone. I didn't notice any problems while I was on Ceftin but I have heard that before. I am feeling a tiny bit better so I hope I continue to improve. I wouldn't wish this...
I fill my own size 00 capsules and take 1 pill 3x day, each pill is probably equal to ~500mg. I buy the powder from mountain rose herbs....
It took about 4 months of doing Buhner's for me to see substantial results. Progress for me has definitely been full of ups and downs and not just a straight line. It took me about 6 months before I...
Thanks for the replies. Yes I was on ceftin for a few months and have also been taking a ton of herbs. I stopped taking probiotics which is what did me in I believe. I have some allicin at home so I...
I managed to get a bad case of c diff, I have a 10 day course of flagyl on hand that I'm taking and I'm taking probiotics in between. Anyone have any advice on how to recover from this? I feel really...
Lysine will help keratin production, my hair has been thicker since I've taken it. I take 2000mg 3x day....
I make most of my tinctures with powdered herbs. I find the most difficult thing is straining them when they are done (I use a handkerchief). So far I've had good results with potency and...
Also a good probiotic (take away from antibiotics) can really help too....
My go-to is miralax. High doses of magnesium and vitamin c can sometimes help. My last resort is senna tea, if I make it too strong I will have terrible cramps and diarrhea, but it does the job!...
I was taking a low dose for SIBO, 125mg/day and I had the worst herxing I've ever had, I went to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack! I've also read that it's super effective against...
http://www.dandelionbotanical.com/bulkPS.html expensive at $9.50/oz though. Have you tried Monteagle herbs?...
The only thing I've tried that keeps my EBV at bay is Lysine, I take 1000mg 3x day. If I start to get symptoms I will take 3000mg until I feel better. Plus it is pretty cheap!...
I tested negative through LabCorp for lyme twice (one ELISA, one WB), as well as Babesia and Bartonella, but tested positive through Igenex....
Cool, thanks!...
Ok, good to know, thanks!...
Does anyone have a favorite capsule filling machine? Thinking of getting this one www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/capsule-machine/profile ....
Which Buhner books do you find most helpful? I am treating for Lyme, Bart and Babs (maybe more??). I can't afford all of these right now, which do you think are the most crucial? Do the protocols...
I struggle with this symptom and herx often. Not sure if it's due to lyme or bartonella or both. I've tested negative for bart, but am treating based on symptoms. I've used more herbs than...
Are you taking any herbs? I also had severe mid-day fatigue which improved after I stopped taking Eleuthero and an Astra Isatis blend....
I'm currently taking jk, cats claw, andrographis, csa, and teasel. Is there a herb you would recommend for biofilms? I also take serrapeptase which helps thin out my saliva. I'm starting wheatgrass...
Ever since I've started taking Ceftin my teeth are super fuzzy. I've tried making my own toothpaste and switching brushes but nothing helps. Anyone have any advice on combating this?...
Smoothies! I make a whole pitcher and drink on it for a couple days, they are also easy to travel with. These always make me feel better if I haven't been eating very well lately. I use a ton of...
I was struggling with this same question around the time I suspected lyme but was still undiagnosed. (I had 3 doctors tell me I couldn't have lyme and all 3 said even if I did, it wasn't sexually...
I've only taken it as part of CSA, and that definitely has helped me in the past few months. It makes me herx like crazy, so I had to work my way up from 5 drops to 20 very very slowly. I take mine...
I have been struggling with fatigue recently as well. I do think it has something to do with my adrenals because caffeine does not help and actually makes it worse. I agree with Girlie and Pirouette...
Thanks for the heads up! I ordered some last week and it should be here soon. I will be prepared for a herx!...
Thanks for the article Traveler. I will probably start doing 4x day after I get adjusted to the CSA (it is so strong, it gave me excruciating trigeminal neuralgia for a week). I don't think my ND has...
I had this right when I began treating with herbs (suspect it was the japanese knotweed), deep wrinkles on my fingertips that hurt and my some of my fingernails were lifting up from my fingers, I...
Omg, I have a black splinter and a pitted nail too! I will look up psoriasis. I've had 2 blood work ups recently with nothing abnormal, but I've yet to do any ANA tests. Thanks for all the info!...
Thanks for the welcome everyone! That's good advice PeteZa, I started keeping a journal when I first got sick but have not kept it up, it's always good to look back, especially when keeping track of...
Does anyone else have this symptom? Mine look like lines of small teardrops on my nails. Do you think it's lyme and co related or something else?...
Hi everyone, I've been lurking on this board for a while and decided it was time to come out from the shadows! I got a bite last summer and started to have creaky/painful knees. Then I had SIBO...
