I appreciate all your help as usual.

I cannot find any dosage suggestion for Uncaria Rynchypholia for neurological lyme. I have Buhner book too.
Bad day for me today I also have lyme headache so my ability to concentrate is poor.

I bought the tincture.
Also bought his fatigue formula as aid and activated charcoal for detox.
So at this point I feel I am taking way too much stuff. I am a minimalist and definitely this is not less is more. I am not sure if more is best for lyme.

Any suggestions? I really want to see if the uncaria works.

I just found that as well. Remember you start off with very small doses and work up carefully. It's never recommended to start off with a larger dose as it can easily cause herxing - or if you find out you react to it, it could be one heck of a reaction that will take time to calm back down.

I haven't read through his book yet, can you tell me where you read it's a muscle relaxer?

I can tell you that I have used cat's claw for several years now and I was misdiagnosed as having MS at one point, and I've never had any issues with it. Do you have muscle spasms and twitches? Or muscle wasting?

Please do NOT start with 1/4 tsp!!! That is 25 drops and taking that amount could set you up for a massive herx.

I think you know that we preach low and slow on here.

When herbs are involved, this means *1* drop to start.....maybe 3x daily.

If you have any reaction whatsoever to one drop, it's best to wait a few days before adding another drop at another time of the day.

Slow (turtle slow) and steady wins the Lyme marathon.

During the height of my treatment, I was taking 17 different herbal tinctures, 3-4 different herb powders/caps and so many supplements that they were divided into 4 different pillminders.

My experience is not unusual, unfortunately.

Buhner doesn't have any "fatigue formula" that I know of. Buhner doesn't sell herbal products.

Would you kindly share some details?

@Traveler>>> page 354 t0 360 that is the entire section on uncaria species.
I do not have muscles twitches or spams, only a feeling of weakness like I want to let go. Also feels like I have drunk tons of coffee (without the tremors)

@ cd...ok so too late...I did take 1/4...I will resize that dose from now on. Jesus...I am probably taking too much of everything. I don't know if I have been herxing since Aug 2 so far and just don't recognize it.
Yes I got this Buhner protocol fatigue formula from Montana Farmacy. www.montanafarmacy.com/#!shop/ch8j check it here. I read the ingredients when I bought it....I thought "yeah that's what I am looking for!!".


you should be able to recognize a herx....increase in symptoms? new symptoms?
