What do you mean over treat with the herbs? According to buhner you can combine all of his herbals with cowden.

Ugh I am soooooooooooo confused. I feel like I cant stand another disappointment.
Do you guys think cowden protocol btw is enough to kill my lyme and bart???? He says yes and we could always add antibiotics or switch to something else later.
I just hate the uncertainty. And the fact that he didnt know the temperature dysregulation thing anf the depression thing bothered me a lot. But the other things like medicines n doses are right. I checked last night and his mycoplasma doses are correct for my sister. Afnsidbfufhbdkaifbjfudbduhdbdhdhdndndnnd

Also girlie and traveler i wanted to ask u guys since u have been in treatment for a while and made improvements, what has worked for you to handle lyme emotionally???? I feel like the mixture of herxing, bart anxiety, and being stuck inside the house all day every day makes me so depressed. I feel like i cant keep waiting to get better cuz it feels so bad and i have so many worries and ive only been in treatment for two months!!!! Lol

I have yet to talk to someone that found healing for anything other than Lyme with Cowden's - now this does not mean that it's not possible, but like the herbal protocol that I followed that claimed to treat all the infections, you may still have to treat any co-infections separately.

Buhner outlines a protocol for each infection.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to find a hobby that you can do, even on some of your bad days. It can be painting or anything you feel an interest for. My hobby has mainly been this forum! LOL! But I did quilting, crochet, needlepoint, crosswords, sewing - notice those are all things to not only keep me sitting, but are usually larger projects?

Yes I was planning on adding buhners herbs myself. And my llmd said that if i see no improvement on cowden we would add in other antibiotics. Im just a little scared of them cause of my herxing on rifampin but i later learned it was a detox problem but im still scared.
Also still confused about this llmd. Not sure if I should make an appt with the other llmd in chicago who appears to be effective as well even though shes expensive or if I should just make an appointment with a doctor all the way in wisconsin whose a reputed llmd that my friend sees or if i should just stay with my dr for now.
Ahhh. Im so confused. I dont know what to do. I just want to get better.

jenny - if you go back on the Rifampin - don't start off with full dose.

My LLND had me start on half dose - I think it was for two weeks...before going to full dose.
..and he doesn't usually exercise caution with the protocols.

I actually split the half dose....bought some empty capsules and opened up the Rifampin and split is approximately in half.
