Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hi Sally, not sure if your question is for me - but if it is - I was diagnosed with chronic disseminated Lyme. I used Buhner's protocol for 3 months plus a couple of weeks on another immune booster. . After the treatment I feel 98% or so like before Lyme. I still have some pain in my knee when I climb stairs, that could be permanent damage or - more likely - it could be something I could heal if I took the time to deal with it, but for the moment I live with it. I don't quite understand the question you ask- I'm sure there are many means out there to boost one's immune system. regards, ellen > > > > Had to copy and paste it. > > ANTIBIOTICS: Their role in Declining American Health > > > > " It is ironic that this humbled fungus, hailed as a benefactor of > mankind, may by its very success prove to be a deciding factor in the > decline of the present civilization.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thank you Ellen. I'm asking specifically what other than what might be mentioned in the book. Where does one go to find that info? Would that be the Buhner list or are there other resources you or anyone can recommend? Thank you...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Does everyone that does the buhner protocol take all the herbs at once, i looked in the book but did not see, maybe overlooked. I have been taking the herbs three times a day all at the same time, but I figured I better ask just in case.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been taking the herbs three times a day all at the same time, but I figured I better ask just in case.. Buhner suggests taking the catsclaw separately, best 30 minutes or so before a meal. This is because it needs sufficient stomach acid to release the alkaloids from the herb (it is more like wood, actually ...). If you take catsclaw together with food you probably don't get the full benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't take Cats claw with milk and other dairy products. They reduce the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
