Hey Everyone,
I just read an article from Buhner that said Japanese Knotweed is the single best thing to take for Lyme. And that if you are on abx's it helps there efficacy bully at least double. He said "if I could get every Lyme patient to do 1 thing it would be to take Japanese knotweed." I'm not currently on abx's but might start soon. I'm on Byron White A-BAB drops and Artemisinin. Thoughts everybody? If yes, which are the best pills I can buy & where?

JK is a strong anti-inflammatory herb. You can buy it at green dragon botanicals. I think you can try it. It can only help.

Drez, I do the tincture for easier dosages. With the tincture you can start with only 1 drop, 1 time a day to see how you do with it. Then you slowly add more drops and more times per day.

I get mine from Hawaii Pharm. If you don't use their site, you can get their brand also from Amazon.

I get my Knotweed tincture from Sagewoman herbs. I love it, and have been having minor to moderate success with it, if I would just stay with my routine!

yes, it's definitely an herb you want to start low and build up slowly with.

Would you recommend taking it with an antibiotic protocol?

My answer would depend on the antibiotic(s).

I wish I had known to take the knotweed at any point during 2015 while I was on either the doxy or the Zith.

It might have helped since I was only allowed mono treatment.
