Hello, I was wondering, i took a break from my abar 1 herbal tincture for a week which my dr. prescribed, did arteminisin, for a few days which helped clear up my yeast overgrowth btw. I retroduced the abar1 and have more symptoms than on my antibiotics which im still on. I curious why this is, would anyone know?

From my understanding herbal treatments can have far reaching impacts in the body and get to nooks and crannies in the body where abx cannot. Also please note that there are some herbals that are just as effective/stronger more so than abx and we must respect their effectiveness. I would say to reduce your dosage for a bit if your body needs to calm down and of course detox more if necessary.

I hope this helps.

Iam preparing to come off abx soon so ill be solely relying on the herbs, I guess ill start the buhner, protocol as soon as I get off the abx, and make adjustments accordingly.

The Artemisinin could be the cause of your herx...if you were taking it just before your herx.

I had a major herx on my first round of Artemisinin - hit me in the middle of the night...

Artemisinin is the active constituent of Artemisia.

It is actually connected with the amount of die off bacteria and herxing. It means that particular herb has a strong impact on your infection and you herx more.

one other thing to add exercising definitely will open up pathways where the bugs are hanging out and allow abx and/or herbs to get at them causing increased/more severe herxing. i did this the other day and the nexzt day i was hit hard with more severe symptoms. if possible everyone should get in some good cardio and muscle conditioning while doing protocols to get deeper into where they hide.
