Yes. It only happens now when I have a cold or the flu. Otherwise I’m 100% fine...
Ive been on it for a day and a half and have already noticed some symptom flare ups so something must be happening. I almost forgot what a nerd felt like. It’s been months. Hopefully the herb has...
Sandyfeet- I thought the same thing, I was happy I had a cold. Amused even at the normalcy of being sick with the common cold I got from my 3 year old. Then, after 4 weeks of coughing and runny...
jason have you ever taken any extended breaks off the herbs? a few prominent LLMD's say you need to be symptom free for at least 3 months to declare yourself somewhat free of infection. if you are...
Hello Does anyone know the dose for isatis as a powder? Jason...
I agree, I would start slowly. I would progress weekly by 1 drop. For awhile I was "stuck" on 3 drops of MCBAR2. After 3 months or so, I made it to 7 drops and stayed there as I felt that was my...
Herxing was moderate in the beginning - mostly anxiety/mood swings. At the time I had (other than mood issues), gut issues, burning down my thighs, calf twitching and a tingling on the left side of...
I'm done with MCBAR2, I was on it for 6 months along with Buhner Bart herbs and it made a significant difference - cleared 95% of all symptoms, though it may have been a synergistic effect. I'm only...
I have never had sinus symptoms with MARCONS. And I've tried the nebulizer. BEG1, and BEC1x sprays. BEG 1 worked the first time around, not the second....
This may have been answered, I did not do an exhaustive search, but does anyone have any ideas why when you have a head cold or any other similar sickness symptoms flare? Since January I've had 4...
Thanks. I think I'm just in a pity party mood now. And both annoyed at symptoms and myself for making this out to be a bigger deal than it likely is. Best of luck with Gabapentin! I've never tried...
Girlie- I'm happy you had a good morning! As I think I said in another post, the better we get, the more frustrating set backs are. But that's why I track how I'm doing so I can remember this, too,...
I like to post good news as I think it helps a lot of us...maybe I'll wait longer next time!...
This post is meant to be somewhat humorous, but every time I post on here I'm feeling better (say 98%) for 4-6 weeks, I immediately feel worse (down to 94%). This has happened three times. I think...
I concur with everyone. Every once in awhile I'll drop from 98-99% to 95% for a few days which sounds silly and something I shouldn't complain about, but after dealing with this for so long with long...
Correct. If you find a happy place stay there. The max for abart is 29 drops. I found 7 worked for me. And I started each herb in Buhner a protocol about a week a part. I never reached his max dose....
Everyone is different and responds differently but for me it seems to be working....
I take Buhner Bart herbs (or most of them: sida, hout. Knotweed, and thistle) plus abart tincture (7 drops) and an about 97-98% there. I’ve been doing this protocol since November. I also take...
If it's helpful, mine is whitish. I've tested negative for candida from a stool test and blood work. I've always thought the white tongue was an indicator of something because on a flare up its...
Sometimes I feel dysfunctional. Lol...
I’m my case I saw mold and certainly could smell it. The test was to verify variety....
This is an interesting conversation. Several things that I can relate to. 1. My symptoms almost always stop every evening around 5pm. 2. I am fairly positive my relapse occurred from finishing my...
I know the bottle says shake vigorously before use and that the dropper can clog, so I think its just the viscosity of the tincture. My LLMD said he's seen this knock out Bartonella, so let hope it...
Mine come and go. I'll have weeks with nothing, then a week or so fairly consistent throughout the day. Seems to follow my current symptom pattern of mild to none for a 2 weeks, then 1 week of...
I think the current school of thought is most autoimmune symptoms and or diseases are caused by the inflammation response. So the reaction to the pathogen is worse than the pathogen, though it seems...
Based on my records, I had my biggest jump in wellness from 87% to 97% while on LDN. I was also on MC-BB2 and hemp oil, but the constant was LDN as the others stopped and started during that 9 month...
Yes. April of 2008 to off all meds in apr 2013. But I felt almost 100% in 2013 and the fist few years as I mentioned were filled with ups and downs. Those leveled out and lessened each year. I do...
You will. Just keep at it and keep searching for the combination that works for you. And, of course, stay with in a while even after you feel 100% better (I find this hard because you feel better and...
Thanks for the wishes. I think I will be, but it just reminds me how confusing this illness is. I sometimes wonder if the psychological competent of ill-well on again off again is almost as bad as...
So maybe I jinxed myself. After the 4 weeks of almost no symptoms I've had two days in a row of moderate ones. Guess it's a reminder I'm not out of the woods. But, I had the 4 very good to excellent...
Maybe I wasn’t articulating well. When I change diet what I meant was I was omitting food groups per a candida or keto diet. I continue to eat my normal foods just Remove dairy sugar and gluten. That...
100% mood change, depression, tired, weakness, etc. All from the diet change, think Paleo flu. 100x worse than Bartonella similar symptoms for me. Perhaps it was detoxing something, but my ND and...
Changes in diet only made me feel worse, that is changing to the Paleo and then candida diet. When I returned to my normal, general cross between American and Mediterranean diet I felt better. I...
New to me. First go around was oral antibiotics and shots for 4 years. Second time was the BB1/2 tinctures and other stuff. This time Buhner and ABart....
It has worked well for me. It just has an AWFUL bitter taste. I take 2 grams 3x daily. But this is pure powder, not encapsulated. Jason...
Since I found these inspirational when feeling low, I wanted to provide an update. For two months I have been taking the core Buhner protocol as loose, powdered herbs. I mix them all together then...
Great new, congrats! Jason...
After I started the full Buhner protocol in July, in 8 weeks I was feeling about 95% or better. This is after almost a year of Bartonella symptoms of various degrees from moderate to stronger. Jason...
I took it for about 9 months, starting at 3.5mg to 4 to 4.5 (or something like that). My records suggested I did see improvement overall during that period, though I was also on other things...
I have bought all bulk (1 lb) powdered herbs from amazon and have had significant success in just 1.5 months. mix them all together then usually take a heaping table spoon three times a day with...
Great to hear things are looking up, it's such a great feeling! Jason...
For whatever reason I have noticed no correlation between symptoms and diet. Other than the one time I tried a ketogenic (paleo) diet I felt much much worse for 4 weeks. So I quit it and felt more...
For what it's worth, since I upped my Buhner core herbs (powder) my stomach has been a wreck and herxing like crazy. I attribute some of this to the Knotweed which I just backed off from 1 tsp to 1/2...
I agree some kind of herx reaction. Plus I was rather moody and down this morning, and that hasn't happened for months either (like this current stomach discomfort). More sauna tonight! I've also cut...
Cistus tea update: I've been having two cups a day for about a week and I think symptoms have gotten worse. I know my stomach feels worse and I've felt more "off" than usually with some mood issues...
Thanks all I've felt fine immediately after but I'll keep an extra eye on how I'm feeling and reduce if need be. Jason...
Hi all- I have upped by Buhner core herbs to, in essence, 3 capsules TID a few days ago and seems to have had some herx/flare up of symptoms. I have correspondingly upped my FIR sauna use from 3...
My thyroid seems to be fine when last tested a few months ago. Again, thank all. Clearly I'm having a hero/flare day. I haven't had one like this in months. I had almost forgotten how unenjoyable...
I go back and forth between Bart and Lyme. Symptoms suggest Bart. But my history with meds and being symptom free suggest Lyme. I'll bring it up with my NP. Thanks all...
You can look at http://buhnerhealinglyme.com It may not be as up to date on the protocols as the book, but it is a place to start. Jason...
