Re: New to Lyme and the Herbal Protocol

> I would appreciate any insights you may have on what herbs you found most

effective for your treatment (my symptoms are not severe, but do include

Myasthenia Gravis (mild " auto-immune " paralysis) in left eyelid, distortion of

cornea and vision in right eye, and neuroma in left foot).

In my case the knotweed was very effective (within a few weeks) for severe neuro

symptoms. I didn't notice much benefit from catsclaw and andrographis. Eleuthero

helped against fatigue, but that was temporary and because of the cost I haven't

continued that herb.

I'm from Europe, we have different Bb's and sometimes different symptoms here (I

got the B. afzeli strain and probably B. garini; not the US B. burgdorferi).

> Also, my doctor has recommended the 400 mg tablet (standardized to 50%

Resveratrol), rather than the tablet that Dr. Buhner recommends. I'd be

interested to know if anyone tried this alternate dosage.

According to Buhner it is not just about Resveratrol, you have to take the whole

knotweed (root) product. So he would prefer the tablets that he recommends in

his book (or bulk herbs, but those are not standardized so you don't know

exactly what you get).

Did you ask your doc why he prefers the product with more resveratrol?
