Need some help with herb dosing (Bartonella and Lyme)

Well, as an avid herb user, I'm so glad that you have discovered the healing power of herbs!! Congratulations!! You now have the means to help yourself even more! Even if you don't rely on them solely for your healing, they will add a lot to your protocols!

As for the resveratrol, you will find this helpful: buhnerhealinglyme.com/basics/dosage-for-ukherbs/

In a study on B. microti, they found that green tea ("the drug" in this sentence) :"The drug significantly (P<0.05) inhibited the growth of B. microti at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight, and the parasites completely cleared on day 14 and 16 post-inoculation in the 5 and 10 mg/kg treated groups, respectively.

I take a larger dose of ALA, although I don't use an expensive brand, so I'll leave that to others with more experience - but I will say this, I won't go without it even now!

I'll let someone with the newly published books comment on the dosages that Buhner recommends.

Are you taking Japanese Knotweed...as in the whole herb...or just a capsuled Resveratrol?

When you order your next CSA tincture, maybe think about buying a JK tincture.

I think you need to back down...you don't want to have continued diarrhea.

Stay at that lowered dose for awhile...maybe a week - at least until the diarrhea stops...and then up it by just a little...and stay there for a few days...then up it again...


The Pomegranate juice I used to drink doesn't have added sugar...are you not doing any fruit because of the natural sugar in it?

You can plug your nose and drink it in water...

hi pardon my ignorance what is CSA is it a herb or tincture form ? Where can I get this? I just tested positive for band 41 and all my doctors don't think I have lyme but I have the symptoms of it.
I"m done with doctors. I need to find a LLMD in NYC or Maryland to help me heal.
I'm tired of not getting answers.
Thank you!

CSA is a woodland essence custom blend of cryptolepis, sida Acuta, and Alchornea. It is a tincture blend.

As for Vitamin D, you doctor can give you a blood test to see if you are low on it. Then he will tell you how much to take. I don't see the description in your post if you are going to a LLMD or LLND. I hope you have someone schooled specifically in lyme disease.

As per Stephen Buhner -- In my opinion at this point in time I see no reason not to use it and have found that it does help considerably in both muscle and joint / bone pain. My personal preference is for the vitamin D3 form of vitamin D, 12,000 IU daily.

As for resveratrol - there are 2 kinds sold in the health food stores. One is made with Japanese Knotweed and the other with grape leaves. What you really want to purchase is Polygonum cuspidatum. Purchasing that herb name will get you the effective herb.

The rest of your items- someone else will have to chime in on.

herb dosages for bart. this is what i take now:

i have two big 250ml bottles of isatis and houttuynia from bristol botanicals. i have an empty 30ml bottle of samento from nutramedix with dropper and i fill it half with isatis and half with the houttuynia tincture. i just pour from the big bottles into the small one and kinda look to make them even in the amount i pour. certainly i do not count the drops when i do this, so it's a very rough estimate...

i shake and take 30 drops 3 times a day of this thing, on empty stomach if i can (sometimes i forget and i take the middle dose after/during meals). when i finish the 30ml bottle i re-fill it and continue. i plan to take all 500ml tinctures of isatis and houtt then stop for a while.

i take many other herbs in non tincture form and lower dosage but these tinctures i wrote about above are i think good for bart (or if u have MCAS).

i also take antialergic H1 blocker, levocetirizine 5mg once daily. MCAS and bart symptoms are very similar. both isatis and houtt are mast cell inactivating. so i really dont know if i treat the bart or keep my mast cells calm... i dont care as long as it works....

my sleep improved enormously after starting the H1 blocker. i sleep 7+ hours a day while in the past i was sleeping 5-6hrs max... i had sleep apnea , night terrors, never able to breathe through he nose at night...

i also take 2 capsules of oil of oregano with carvacrol 55% on empty stomach in the morning after i wake up. i take this for 2 weeks then i take one week break of the oregano as it is quite bad on stomach (i feel it a bit but not as much i heard some people say).

i take one ALA capsule 3 times a day, 200mg each, on empty stomach.
