Should I stop Nutramedix Herbs if no results after 4 months?

Hi guys so I'm currently taking 30 drops twice a day [60 drops total] of Cumanda, Houttunyia, Banderol and Samento.

It's been 3 weeks and no herxing or any side effects- as if I'm just drinking water. My main symptoms are sleep disturbance, occasional muscle twitches and finger/arm stiffness.

I was thinking, if none of these symptoms are any better/different in 4 months from now, should I give up on the herbs and try antibiotics or something else? When would you guys throw in the towel as far as saying maybe the herbs just won't do much? 4 months? 6?

thanks!

You are at the beginning of the timeframe during which most people herx after starting herbs (3-6 wks.).

Some people just don't herx.

However, I would imagine that you should experience some type of improvement within 4-6 months.

If you don't, it makes sense to explore what might be impeding your healing.

Are you taking anything to address biofilm? Cowden incorporates Serrapeptase

What about Babesia? Cowden incorporates Enula and Quina. It's not uncommon for people to have asymptomatic Babesia/Babesia-like infections that impede healing from Lyme and other Co's.

I wouldn't necessarily abandon herbs but, instead, look at these other factors...

Hi Floridadude,

I would stay with it and start on a detox regime (dry skin brushing, detox baths, foot baths, infrared sauna, etc. ~ instructions are in the sticky thread on top called New to Lyme? Start Here!)...

Some think if they don't herx that their medicine (whether abx or herbals) are not working. That is not true. What herxing really means is that a person's body is filled with toxins that are not being eliminated.

It sounds to me like you do not have problems detoxing naturally (which healthy people do) compared to others on this forum who do have problems detoxing which is why they take a test called 23andme.

Add in the detox baths, etc. and then see how you feel. It takes time and I think 3 weeks is not long enough to tell yet if the herbs are doing anything....

Edit: Last but not least you sound like you are deficient in magnesium. Symptoms of Magnesium deficiencies are twitches, insomnia, body jerks, etc.

Hope this helps,
Denise
