I had the same experience on the Cowden protocol. It made me feel lyme effects times 10. I wasn't on nearly as many drops as you. Probably 5 of banderol and samento at most.

I have to find my Livewello reports and look into my issues with metabolizing and detoxing. I believe I have several issues there. Possibly, the drops aren't metabolizing fast enough and I'm over dosing because of it? Just a thought. I'm backing down to 20 drops for a while to see if I improve. I'm just feeling so awful right now. I'm not as sick as I was, but I'm having a hard time getting out of bed. Not too fun, especially since I'm attending a Christmas party tonight.

If you have the gene mutations that can interfere with detoxing, then you will need to take the supplements that will help correct that so that your body can detox easier- plus do a lot of things daily to help your body keep up with the toxins. Remember each time one of those bacteria dies off, it's releasing toxins that your body had to detox out.

Lately I have been noticing that if sulfur is an issue for you, detoxing may be more difficult. I am not a scientist, so if anyone out there is, feel free to weigh in on the merits of this. But my heavy metal retention issue is not due, IMHO, to the fact that I am ingesting more metals, but rather that I have difficulty ridding my body of them. Glutathione, which is key in this detoxing arena as well, is also something that produces a reaction for me as when I was getting IV-glutathione, I got a rash. This is all part of the sulfur picture. So the reason that I am mentioning this is that on the Cowden protocol, he uses Sparga, which is a sulfur detox. My guess is that this is an issue for a lot of Lymies and I am just noticing this.

If I remember right, those with a certain gene mutation (but I forget which one, the CBS mutation or something like that??), do have issues with sulfur.

Yes, Traveler. You are exactly right. I have just had the 23 and me done and am hoping to find out if I have that gene mutation.

Very interesting, Londolozi!

I never really understood why I was taking Sparga. Ironically, I plan on starting MSM and I wonder how that would be for someone that has issues with sulfur?
