New plan...AGHHHH!

I am supposed to see my LLMD on Monday. I've decided to postpone that for now. She usually likes to see me when I off abx for 7-10 days; I won't be finished with my abx until Sunday anyway. Because of the holidays and my finances, I won't be able to see her for about 3-4 weeks.

In the meantime, I'm going to start treating with herbals. I've put together a list for fighting Lyme and Bart and detoxing...and if anyone can make sure I'm not forgetting anything, that would really help!! I'm a little nervous about treating on my own, but, in all honesty, my LLMD has really only prescribed abx and sent me on my way anyway.

-Ashwaganda
-Japanese Knotwood
-Andrographis
-Burbur
-Pinella
-Dandelion Root
- Houttuynia
-Magnesium
-Stevia Extract (Now Foods)
-Collagen support

I plan to order from either Green Dragon Botanicals or Woodland Essence. My question is about the delivery time. If I am off abx for a week and just detox until I start the herbs, that's okay? How long can I be without abx OR herbals before creating a setback of any sort?

Also, my brainfog seems to be confusing the "A" herbs....one is supposedly not recommended for chronic Lyme but I can't remember which one and I can't find where I read that. As always, thank you!!

My thoughts were the same as Traveler, cats claw. If I were to begin with just a few things, I'd start with cats claw and japanese knotweed. the japanese knotweed from green dragon botanicals can take a bit depending on if they have it in stock. The cats claw you can pick up the capsule forms at your local health food store if you don't want to wait, just to get things started. The collagen support - GREAT! I would suggest investing in Buhner's book on treating lyme and co-infections if you are going the herbal route. You might be able to get it from the library.
