Which Herbs do you FEEL the most?

[Guest guest]

Which herbs do you guys feel are making an impact.

Like you just know it's doing something.

For me... the andrographis, cats claw, and eleuthero have made the biggest

splashes.

Stephania I can tell too.

But knotweed.. for whatever reason... I just don't know if it's doing anything.

It's supposed to be anti-spirochetal but I didn't get much of an effect.

Maybe the andro was powerful because it was hitting something else? microbes,

parasites, etc. Who knows.

Is knotweed a slow/over time type herb? I've only been on it for less than a

month.

I've had Lyme for over 30 years and I was diagnosed a few months ago. All I've

taken so far is resveratrol (knotweed) and an hour after the very first pill I

was starting to feel a real difference. Since I have extreme sensitivities to

everything I only took ¼ of a pill for the first couple days and even just that

little bit made a big difference. I've been taking it for 2 months now. I only

take 4 or 5 pills a day to avoid herxing. Any more than that and I'm down and

out for a couple days. I also take supplements. One that's helped a lot for the

cardiac Lyme issues is CoQ10. I'm like a new person and I've been able to get

things done I've had to put off for years. It's been like a miracle cure for me.

I hope you find what works for you.

interesting, your experience is exactly the opposite of mine. I had strong

improvement (within a few weeks) on knotweed alone; I didn't notice any clear

benefit from catsclaw, andrographis and stephania.

for eleuthero I noticed a clear improvement with my fatigue problems, but that

disappeared after I stopped taking it (because of high cost). I'm now planning

to brew my own tincture, still sourcing the right 60-proof alcohol...

The variation is similar to using antibiotics: everyone is different, and there

are many varieties of these bugs. Maybe it also depends on the tissue where the

Bb is hiding. You have to try what works. I think knotweed is first of all

neuroprotective, it is a kind of super-antioxidant that helps protect tissue and

restore nerve damage.

agree that probably some herbs (or ABX, or other alternative treatments) work

because they hit something else, thus lowering the load on the immune system.
