Hi everyone. Yesterday was my final day on antibiotics woohoo! Nine long months of treating. I am now going to do six months of the full Cowden protocol. Has anyone done antibiotics then Cowden? One question I had was do I stay on my supplements? I’m currently on..,

Magnesium Taurate
Glutamine
Betaine HCI
Vitamin D3
Vitamin B12
Zinc
L-Methylfolate
Fish Oil
Interfase Plus
ATP Fuel
Probiotics

Do I keep with these?
Is L-Methylfolate safe to stay on long term?

I’m hoping to kick the rest of these illness out of my body!

I have used cowden protocol for my young for three months but we could never finish it entirely. Since, you have been extensively on antibiotics and finishing it up you may want to start from month 7 day 169 that is where he begin pulsing of herbs (13 days) and finish to month 9. If you want to continue further again back to 7 to 9. I dont think any cowdern herb interacts but do your DD. There is magnesium malate so you can drop that.

Oh man I didn’t know this! Maybe I could do the full 6 months and then if I’m not good continue 7-9? Ty!

I did Cowden after antibiotics didn't help me, and I was also suspicious of their effect on my gut at the time. Ive said this many times before but the 5th month is the hardest one. If you get past that you're good. I didn't notice any improvements after that month.

Ok thank you! It’s good to know there are other choices if this doesn’t seem to work. I’m eggar to see how hard it hits me.

Hearts- Cowden did help me while I was on it but I also did the keto diet at the same time so I am not sure which of those was pulling more weight in terms of recovery. Unknown how long I had it but I had symptoms for 2 years prior, and some mild indication of it since childhood in terms of athletic performance. Mostly keto diet has helped the most though. Cowden is supposedly for people who fail antibiotics or other herbal protocols are too strong for them. From what I have heard.

I did Cowden after 6-8 weeks of abx. Pretty sure I did 6 months of Cowden. I improved the most after month 5 which is the anti parasitic months.

I did then go on scrips meds for parasites but stopped after a few weeks due to a reaction.

I no longer treat for Lyme directly and am focusing on heavy metals/mercury.

For me the idea going LT on abx did not make sense and glad I stopped when I did. It worked out for me and I’m doing very well.

Also you’ll get mag with Cowden so if you take more you may hit you your threshold and get diarrhea I would add more to this point and back off a bit.
