Wow that’s a huge difference and the 500mg ones a lot more cost effective. The recommended dose of the 500mg’s for Lyme is 4 x 3 also so I’ve only been taking a tiny dose without realising. Thanks...
Hello, I’m taking Japanese Knotweed capsules which a herbalists makes for me. They contain 20mg of Jap Knot standardized to 50% resveratrol which I take 4x3. I’ve run out of them but somebody has...
Aw thanks, kind of you to post that...
Wow, I didn’t notice it had disappeared. Must be a glitch, I clicked the link on the email and replied to it through that. Thanks Saraeli, makes sense. I think with women hormonal fluctuations...
Thank you, that’s helpful I hadn’t thought of that. I was under the impression it was a weaker one and because nothing happened when I started it didn’t expect it to....
Hi Girlie, No, I’ve been taking Clarithromycin, Rifampicin, Doxycycline and Malerone for over two months. I’ve been on Clarithromycin and Rifampicin for a long time, but had Doxy introduced and...
Hi all, Do you think it’s possible to herx on meds you’ve been on for over two months? I’ve seen a few doctors say that herxing happens upon starting a new med or increasing one, does that mean...
Paul, you’re strangely comforting do you know that 😂 Now on a dreadful head pressure day I’ll think to myself.. ‘hmm what would Paul do’.. 💪 do you treat yourself with herbs? Sorry for being nosey...
Bed yoga, I love it 😂 great ideas, thank you so much for taking the time to write it all out. I can definitely implement the foot soak, lemon water and bed yoga. Yes it was your blog! I couldn’t...
Thank you JMF ❤️ Hey Paul!! Always good to hear from you 😊 I actually have some Stephania tincture but have been too afraid to try it what with everything going on. Is it very herx’worthy? I hope...
My doctor uses double dose oral Ceftin for Neuro, along with 2 or 3 more antibiotics. I have most definitely had neuro herxes and I know of people being treated by him who have recovered from it or...
Cheers Garzie, you’re a star ⭐️ I can’t think logically at the moment, my mind runs away with itself and I become convinced it’s not a herx. I had full cognition back on the Lyme only protocol so...
After 7 weeks on my Lyme + Bart protocol my symptoms started to get a bit out of control, relentless head pressure and inflammation was making me loopy, pain all over in places I have and haven’t had...
The LDN leaflet I was given with the prescription said lyme patients can herx on it and to drop the dose back until it settles and increase slowly again. I herxed on it but very slowly managed to get...
Girlie, I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to read you’re back out there living your life, you deserve it so much and it gives hope to us all. I don’t know you but every time I do a search on...
I’m happy to hear you’ve made very real progress :-) And I’m not surprised what with your determination and positive outlook on the situation. Apple Cider Vinegar duly noted, I’m having some now 🍻...
Hey Girlie and Garzie! I hope you’re both doing as well as the last time I was on, thank you for your replies. Hello Paul! I hope you are well too. I was thinking about you recently and wondered how...
Hi guys, I haven’t been on for a while, I hope you are all faring well. I finally started proper antibiotic treatment with Dr. L in Dublin after attempting to self treat and failing miserably with...
That’s great Garzie! So glad to hear it...
Thanks for the link Walking. Yes, I wasn’t keen on the St John’s, it’s an SSRI I think too and I don’t want that. I’m binning that mix and increasing the one I plateaued on.. slowly this time :-P...
Hey Garzie, That mix you mention was brilliant until I plateaued on it. It wasn’t until I added Doxy to the mix again that I started experiencing problems in the fourth week during a flare. Trouble...
Gotu Kola St John’s Wort Sida Smilax Astralagus Artemisia Annua Milk Thistle This is the mix in question, and in the other that I loved but stopped working because the doses were never raised, and...
Definitely courageous too and both good character traits to have when kicking Lyme in the butt 😊...
Like everything else concerning Lyme, no clear cut answer 🙄 Sod taking that then, the last thing I need is more inflammation....
I agree with everyone else Girlie. Your health should absolutely come first. I couldn’t help noticing in my searches that you’ve been on here battling for a long time. Your courage and strength is...
I’m rummaging through some of my prescription tinctures that I was given previously to combat coinfections, and I’ve just noticed they have Astralagus in them along with Sida, Artemisia Annua and so...
Hey Garzie, thank you. Do you mind me asking what treatment you did/are doing?...
I will. I’m so grateful to have an appointment with him. He worked in America for a long time and with the John Hopkins uni when they were trying to create the Lyme vaccine so is well versed in it...
I won’t, thank you so much ❤️...
Paul, you’re an angel. Thank you so much 🙏 Thank you Calm Buddha and Bailey. I think you’re right WalkingByFaith, I think it was toxins building up and brain inflammation. When I got to my parents I...
Paul.. I was literally just at the multi story car park across the road. I looked at my phone and saw this, your prayer made me turn back. I’m home now and I’m going to call my mum to come and get...
I’m scared to do sauna as I tried doing hot baths and ended up passed out on the bathroom floor :-(...
I’ve seen many different doctors but they don’t believe in Lyme here in the U.K. The infectious disease specialists are just as bad. I’m on a waiting list for a LLMD in Ireland but I have no clue how...
Some of you have advised me in the past due to Lyme not being recognised in the U.K. I’m positive for all 3 B’s along with other things, I used Armin Labs in Germany. My doctors won’t accept it, and...
My herbalist wanted me to reach 10-20 drops x 3 or 4 times per day to start with....
Oh sorry, I just noticed you said bottle says twice a day. 1 x 2 then. I put mine in a small amount of hot water to evaporate the alcohol....
1 drop! I recently learnt the hard way. Do 1 x 3 for a few days and go up by another drop when you feel comfortable. If 1 x 3 is too much do 1 x 2 or even 1 x 1. I’m still only on 4 drops after 2 and...
Thank you Girlie and Bailey. Garzie, that literally explains so much! You guys are bloody brilliant, I don’t know what I’d do without this forum sometimes....
Hey Garzie, I tested positive for all three B’s, Mycoplasma and viruses. I took the Doxy. It’s been a very different experience to last time though. Immediate pain behind one eye and brain fog. I...
I haven’t taken Sida for a few days now but it continues to get worse. Is the Doxy completely pointless then? I was wondering if it might keep me healthy enough just to get to Ireland in a few months....
We don’t have it in the U.K. I’m lucky to have the Doxycycline. We all have to fly to Ireland to see a proper Lyme doctor at Dublin hospital. It’s the only way to receive proper meds. I went to...
Thank you Paul. I do take a good quality mag x 2 and bananas every day. Tons of supplements....
Crypto, Jap Knot, Skullcap Black Wallnut. None at particularly high doses. I tried Sida and almost lost my mind....
Hello everyone, I’m going from bad to worse on herbs, probably because I can’t get the doses up due to such psychological flares/herxing and panic. I was having a lot of weakness and fatigue, brain...
I know this is an old post but Cistus helped this lady with her Bartonella incase anyone is interested —>...
Thank you WalkingbyFaith I appreciate your concern. The herx seems to have subsided somewhat for now. I split the Jap knot in half today and reduced all of the antimicrobials. Chinese Skullcap can...
Oh, she told me to up my dose of Gou Teng to 20 drops as it’s supposed to be great for Neuro, and is sending me Motherwort and a lemon thingymajig for panic 🤷♀️ It’s a nightmare all this, first...
Thank you Running Wild. I’m going to dump half of the pills tomorrow and try it that way....
I’ve had Jap Knot, Chinese Skull and Crypto before but in a mix which was a much smaller dose. I took to that really well, but the problem was I wasn’t increasing on it or adding more so my...
