Re: Buhner's New Protocol-Diane

[Guest guest]

Hi Diane,

She had no problems on the herbs. I do think Tim meant you need to

take 3 capsules to get the full dose of herbs you mentioned in your

previous post. Also, you'll need to work yourself up to 12 capsules 4

x/day (not 12 capsules/day). My daughter is 11 yrs old and had no

problems at all, she was taking 9 capsules 3x/day (she weighs 85

lbs). She recently had to stop taking the herbs, it had nothing to do

with any problems from them. (I'm keeping them on hand in case she

suddenly takes a turn for the worse.) It's always suggested you start

gradually. You could either start by taking the herbs individually

and once you're on all of them, then you could take the combination,

or you can do the reverse, take the combination and if any reactions

occur, then take them individually so you can figure out which one is

the problem... Others in this group have much more experience than I

do with this.

You really should also read the book Healing Lyme by Buhner

so you can better understand what you're doing.

I've been weaning my daughter off the herbs after 3 good months. Her

pediatrician wants her to try stopping all treatments (acupuncture,

massage) and herbs for the summer so she can forget she's a patient

for a while and see if she feels better. I'm pretty wary and

discouraged at this point, but we'll see.

Good luck and good health to you,

Aviva

the dosage information from this and the other post is conflicting indeed. If

the pills really have nearly 2 gram herbs content, taking 12 per day would be

sufficient. But 2 gram is huge for a pill; that sounds very unlikely, normal

pill size is 500 mg - and at that size 4x 12 capsules would be more like the

correct dose.
