Hi guys so I'm planning to start the Nutramedix herbs soon for my Lyme and Bartonella.

I'm supposed to work up to 60 drops a day of Samento, Banderol, Cumanda and Houttuniya and maybe Pinella/Burbur if needed for detox.

Is it ok to mix all of those herbs in the same cup and drink them together? I emailed Nutramedix last week and they said yes but you never know so I just wanted to check with actual patients here! Also, is it ok to be taking these herbs together every day for months on end? Thanks!

Hi floridadude23 - welcome to our community!

I have put the link here for the Cowden Protocol - it includes a schedule:

www.nutramedix.ec/ns/lyme-protocol


I see that Samento and Banderol are taken at different times of the day....and later on Cumanda is taken, but not Banderol. Further in the schedule, I see Houttuynia is added, and taken with the Samento.
It looks like the herbs are changed up throughout the schedule.


I have not taken Cowden herbs yet...so I will leave it to others who are more familiar with it to give advise.

I hope you keep coming back to read, post, ask questions - we're a supportive, knowledgeable group of people here....

Have you taken a look at the thread at the top of the page, titled: "New to Lyme?..Start Here!" It's full of good information - symptom lists, info on probiotics, detoxing suggestions, and much more.

Welcome floridadude23!

Sorry for the reason you're here but glad you found us.

Umm...I don't know what happened but, the information you received from Nutramedix via email contradicts what's published in the compatibility chart.

For example, Samento and Banderol should not be taken together. Here's a link to the compatibility chart:

www.nutramedix.ec/ns/images/stories/ProductCompatibilityChart.pdf

Most herbs are safe to take for the long-term. In fact, they aren't as hard on the body as abx can be.

Since herbs can be quite effective, it's important to have a daily detox protocol in place. You see, toxins are released when the bacteria die and those toxins are what drive our symptoms. An effective detox protocol that employs multiple methods will help you stay ahead of those toxins and minimize symptoms.

We have some great detoxing suggestions in the "New to Lyme" thread that Girlie mentioned, including a link to this site:

www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html

You'll see the 3 Nutramedix detox tinctures (burbur, parsley and pinella) included in that list and I hope you integrate them into your protocol along with many other detox methods.

The more you can detox, the better you'll feel....it's that simple.

Please let us know if you have any other questions. We'll do our best to answer them.

Best of luck to you moving forward!

Yeah, don't mix the antimicrobials. Rotate.

The detox tinctures can be taken with them though.

Samento, parsley, pinella, and sparga.

Banderol and burbur.

I forget which they've got the Cumanda and Houttuynia paired with.

Neglect the sparga - it's just for sulphur detox, something or other. I never got much from it. I guess it might have a purpose for some though.

Other than that, seems the rest got ya covered.

Speaking of that, YES, do stick around the forum. You'll likely be needing more assistance from these fine peoples along your treatment path.

Thanks so much for your post, Ryan!!!

My morning eyes weren't seeing too straight and I obviously erred when reading the compatibility chart in regards to Cumanda and Houttuynia. I corrected my post but you deserve the credit ;)

I followed the full Cowden protocol as published online so I never referred to the compatibility chart until I was trying to help others. (I need some excuse for my lame-brain lol)
