I started the Buhner protocol last weekend.  First time of doing any treatment since I was undiagnosed for almost 30 years!

So far I don't seem to be herxing.  In fact today I actually feel a little better than I was before.  Maybe that is just coincidence.

The only problem I have had is with the Siberian ginseng.  Buhner recommends doing tincture only, and not the kind with alcohol.  The other kind has honey in it.  Unfortunately it has been too much sweetness for my body to handle.  I'm going to have to switch to the powder, despite Buhner's recommendations.

Congratulations on starting a protocol and feeling a bit better!! There's never a guarantee that a person will herx - it's all about how well your body handles the toxins and can detox well enough. But, watch for a herx! You don't want to brush off the start of one as you can catch it and get it under control quickly sometimes if caught early.

I wouldn't worry about having to switch things up a bit - it quite common for us to have to tweak some things in order for our bodies to be able to use it due to the uniqueness of each of us!

I bought the Buhner book so am real curious about the success rate. I think if the abx continue to torture then I may explore this route. Keep us posted on your progress!

I have been on the protocol since January, I am doing well on it. I still have some rough days, but I have more good days then bad days now.

I also detox my body daily, and stopped eating gluten, and sugar.

Hope you have success as well.

Kittie,

Its great to hear that you are FINALLY receiving treatment. Its certainly better late than never!

Believe me- You don't want a herx, which is a sign that your body is in distress. Your goal is just to feel better, and I hope that you can take it the whole way.
I wish you the best!

Don
