Re: Side Effects of Starting the Protocol(Kathy)

Where did you get that statistic that 70-80% defeat lyme. Is this for the

Buhner protocol or just in general?

I take the Cat's Claw with food and I will begin doing the same with the

Eleuthro tincture. I am only taking the former two herbs once a day due to

abdominal pain and the Eleuthro 1/2 tsp twice a day thus far.

many chronic lymies seem to notice a 4-5 weak flare cycle. For women it could be

tied to hormonal cycle (because hormones influence inflammation and immune

system), but it also occurs in male lyme patients. Some people say there also is

a yearly cycle.

There is no good explanation for what causes the 4-5 weak cycle; the best

explanation I have read says it is caused by interaction of Borrelia with our

immune system.
