Sighing/dry cough - Babesia herx?

In another thread Rowingmom posted that her daughter's doc thought her sighing and dry cough (along with a few more symptoms) were from Babesia herxing.

I have those two symptoms now....but haven't taken any Babesia meds - or herbs.
Just been doing the Buhner protocol....could it have an effect on Babesia?

No Louise - just doing Jap knotweed, cat's claw, eleutheros, and have now added Serrapeptase. Been on the protocol approx. 4 weeks now.

But my ND does Byron White formulas...so will most likely be switching over.

The symptoms you describe (the same ones I describe in our daughter's CSA herx - feeling of chest pressure, sighing, dry cough) can be related to babesia die-off.

Cat's claw is an immune stimulant. Improvement in the function of your immune system can produce a die-off comparable with abx or herbal antimicrobials.

For myself, a trial of cat's claw produced elbow/knee pain and extreme skin sensitivity. Any touch to my skin felt like someone was flicking me with a rubber band. Our daughter didn't seem to have any reaction to that herb. I was so uncomfortable I was forced to discontinue it, and haven't tried it since. I have herxed on other herbs, but not that badly.
