All right, here goes: My mother really wants me to try the pills that Dr. Rawls sells, in addition to my Buhner protocol, or in place of it. My question is, has anyone here ever used his stuff?

Does it work any more/less than anything else? Do I keep doing Buhner protocol, and add these pills in too?

She is just trying to help me out since I've been so ridiculously busy starting a new full time job and starting treatment. She also wants my Dad to use it since he has Lyme too. So I told her I would ask everyone on here. Thanks all!

Look at the list of ingredients for the pills so you don't accidental double the dosage of one of Buhners herbs.

On a quick look thru, its like reading Buhner's protocols, so you most likely have been taking most of the herbs anyway at probably a better price. Byron White formulas have similar make-up.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the ingredients... but this will BUMP to the top for others to see.

I don't think I would use them both together - there's a lot of duplicated herbs.

I would ask your Mom why she wants you on that instead of Buhner's? There's lots of people with good experiences with Buhner's, but I haven't heard such good results with Rawl's protocol - at least not yet.

Do you feel that Buhner is helping? If so, stick with it. If not, you could always change things up and try Rawl's.

I don't know if anything is working :( I'm tired and achy all the time, I can't focus, I'm dizzy, feel like I can't breathe. My joints hurt, my muscles ache, I still twitch, I'm doing everything I can, but I don't feel like anything is working.

I'm exhausted and I feel very frustrated and at another low point, but at least I'm able to eat and walk and not be at the hospital every 4 weeks!

She wants me to use Rawls because the pills are already made for me, she sees how much work I'm doing, and then to do all of my herbs, with no help, she is hoping the support system to Rawls and premade herbs will reduce my stress.

Then that's an improvement even though you still feel icky. Are you detoxing enough? You may also need to look at your protocol. What you're taking, how much, when? Perhaps some adjustments are needed. If you post your protocol, we may be able to help you sort through it and offer some tangible recommendations.

Simon are you taking the vital plan supplements?

Pantsface, I also received the vital plan in the mail recently and tried it. There are lots of pills to take for it.

I think it's actually an improvement over the Buhner protocol. I see no reason why you would have to take the buhner herbs if you are taking the A-biotic because all the buhner herbs are in A-biotic. It also includes all your essential nutrients, plus adaptogenic herbs to support the immune system, plus detoxification supplements to clean the cells out. He also claims to use high quality ingredients in his products as well.

I don't have much experience with it's results as I've just recently started taking the product, and haven't yet been consistent.

My protocol:

Supps: Selenomethionine (200 mcg 3x/d), L-Glutamine (500mg 3x/d), L-Tyrosine (500mg 3x/d), vitamin D (1,000 1x/d), OmegaGenics EPA-DHA 500 (fish oil pills, 1,000mg 3x/d), melatonin (3mg 1x/d at night for sleep), 1 tblsp 1x/d Great Lakes Pork Gelatin, MetaGenix probiotic 1/2 pill 1x/d in PM

Herbs: 1tsp 1x day in AM of the following Japanese Knotweed, Eleuthero Root Powder, Cat's Claw Bark Powder, Lion's Mane, Cordyceps (stopped this one 2 days ago, hoping it will make my dizziness go away).
1/2 tsp 1x day in AM of the following Salvia Miltiorrhiza Root Powder, Scutellaria Baicalensis Powder, Uncaria Rhynchophylla Twig and Thorn Powder

Detox: the selenium is supposed to be helping detox, i drink over 66 ozs of water a day plus 1 cup of mint tea (Mint Medley, bigelow brand, contains lemon peel not sure if that counts for detox), 15 minute walk outside on my lunch break, spring salad everyday with kale and homemade garlic dressing, broccoli and cauliflower 2-4 times a week, epsom salt baths with dry scrub 3 x a week and foot baths 2-3 x a week, I used to do the clay drink for detox but started having problems with constipation and I am NOT going down that road again. I also do yoga/stretches for 15 minutes every morning.

When I was feeling wonky, and progressed to a point and came to a plateau, I began to ask..okay, what else. I began to treat probable co-infections and this began to move things in a more healthful direction - I also began to consider candida overgrowth and fungus.

With what you are taking, you should begin to feel things shift more towards the land of health within 2-3 months.

How long have you been working your protocol?

Best!
