If you are still 'herxing' or fighting some remaning infection, it is to be

expected that you feel better when off the herbs/ABX. In this case I would

expect that the symptoms return within a few months of stopping the herbs.

I stopped most of the Buhner herbs 1.5 years ago and was pretty stable for most

of the time, but over the last 1.5 months I got new symptoms (this time

suggesting Bartonella instead of Borrelia; it certainly is not a new infection

so maybe the Barts rears its head now the Borrelia is gone).

they have very different biochemical action, so no surprise for me.
