Hey guys,
I just received my Burbur-pinella supplement from NutraMedix. I just need advice on how I can begin this because im scared to Herx from it. This is the first supplement I have purchased for Lyme and I just really want it to work for me and not have a bad reaction. Can someone tell me how to ease on it, and if it has caused any reverse reactions?

Hi! I just started that a few days ago. I put one drop in a couple ounces of water the first day, two drops the second day, increasing by a drop each day or every other day. No problems so far. Good luck!

Thank you ! Do you have to sip it or can you drink it however?

I'm not sure if there's a right way, but I just drink it. I probably sipped it the first day. Hopefully someone who knows more will come by soon.

Yes thank you! My mind is more at ease.

Burbur pinella is the cowden detox herb that is recommended to take at FULL dosage to help with the side effects of a bad herx. You should be fine at any dose. In fact, it is the only herb combination on cowden that starts in the program at 20 drops. (Which is full program dosage)

agree with Purrsiankitty though i've heard the rare person say it caused a negative reaction in them.

Drat, I could have sworn I'd read to start gradually. I'm way too chicken to start at full dose anyway, haha.

I just began it today at 20 drops ... have been taking plain burbur awhile though.

I started cowden protocol with just burbur for like 3-4 days, then began adding samento 1 drop at a time.

Wanted to make sure things were detoxing before I started killing Lyme! I'm a chicken too!

Never had an issue w/ burbur , and the burbur-pinella seems to suit me as well. I've found the burbur mildly helpful- especially taken at the beginning of a herx.

It probably helps more than I realize overall.

Saw a natural practitioner today ( who was awesome, by the way) and he suggested the switch to the combo product. So far, so good!

I think it's always good to start out slow with new stuff though...

Hi! I’ve been taking both for a long time. Since it’s a supplement for detoxing, I never experienced any herxing from it. It says to take 10 drops. At first I had to take less than 10 drops of burbur because 10 drops gave me stomach cramps. I would take 7-9 drops. Once my body got used to it, I could then take 10. No side effects at all with Pinella though. Took 10 drops right away.

I just started taking it about a week ago.

It so hard to tell what caused the herx or what made a symptom better when you are taking 15 things but what happened to me was I herxed pretty bad for almost 4 days but then felt much better after.

So I was having neuro issues, like head fog, off-balance feeling, wonky legs, vertigo and I took the herb (among everything else) and I felt worse for 4 days but then the symptoms massively improved.

The most noticeable improvement is feeling head clarity. Complete head clarity. Almost everyday after a long day of work and then fighting traffic to get home my head fog would be heavy at the end of the day, so it felt weird to have head clarity after a long day. You almost forget what 100% head clarity feels like until you experience it again.

It's always hard to pin what did what, and what should get credit or blame but I don't think the timing was a coincidence.

I'm thinking that the herx was from the other supplements you were taking and the burbur/pinella helped to clear it out. I've been sick and getting treated for over 5 years and getting tired of taking all the herbs and supplement that I end up taking the detox herbs just once a day. I know when I take them twice a day or more, the pinella especially really helps with mental clarity.

I also take parsley for detox. Big reason I started it was because I retain a lot of fluids and parsley is a diuretic and helps with getting rid of extra fluids.

I am struggling with those neuro issues too! Brain fog, very off-balance feeling. I have been taking 30 drops of Pinella/Burbur once daily but havent seen much improvement in those sx.

What is your dosage and what else are you taking? I have been trying so hard to get rid of this!

The Pinella wears off though. By around 8-9pm the fogginess and off-balance wonkiness comes back a little. But by then it's time for bed anyways.

I take 30 drops twice a day. So a total of 60.

This worked great for me during a herx. I was having migrating pain, heachache, stiff neck, joint pain. Within 15 minutes of taking this, I felt all of these symptoms start to subside.
