Smilax on Bartonella

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to report on my son's Bartonella rash. It is still the

smallest it has ever been, seemingly mostly from Smilax. We just

switched from Smilax to a high-potency form of Grapefruit Seed

extract and the rash is continuing to decrease. It did shrink upon

Resveratrol and Cumanda, but then it stopped shrinking for many

months until Smilax, which started it shrinking again. We are no

longer on Smilax, but using Grapefruit seed extract instead, and it

is still shrinking, only a tiny bit a day, but it is finally

shrinking. Both Smilax and Grapefruit seed extract are suppose to be

very broad anti-pathogen killers in that they kill most things more

so than herbs in general. I am thinking this must be why they both

seem to work on his rash.

We are not applying anything topically, only relying on oral

treatments to rid it. There is no specific reason for the switch from

Smilax to Grapefruit seed extract other than to rotate treatment. I

will say to use caution when using a high potency form of Grapefruit

seed extract. I did get a fast heart-beat reaction which is actually

quite typical and common for me to get, but even so, I want to

caution everyone that herbs are just as strong as medicine and even

stronger.

The same dose on the next day did not bring about the same faster

heart-beat, which tells me its likely die-off. I have had these

symptoms since age 15 which return if I don't take supplements, but

are usually gone while on supplements. And let me say that my heart-

beat is truly awful without supplements. It beats all over the place

with no steady rhythm. I have seen several doctors, and each one had

a different diagnosis. No medicine that they gave me helped. But

these anti-pathogen herbs definitely make it beat beautiful, except a

little problem here and there with initial die-off from some new

herbs.

Love and prayers,
