T_Anna Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Can I put those in a capsule? Can I, should I, mix them together (the integrative neuro said to mix 1 to 1)....or try each separately? DS16 will take almost anything in a capsule, but is more resistant to other modes. Thanks in advance, T.Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowingmom Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Buhner says you can mix all of his herbs and take them together. That taking herbs as a mixture increases the number of anti-microbial constituents, reducing the probability of resistance by the bacteria. Both sida acuta and hawthorne are part of his bartonella protocol, along with houttuynia, japanese knotweed, EGCG, l-arginine (which we don't use), and milk thistle. http://buhnerhealinglyme.com/ See Co-infections protocol. If you are trying to find optimal dosage you will want to increase only one herb at a time (leaving the dose of the other constant) and keep an eye out for die-off reactions. We get sida as a tincture from WoodLandEssence and hawthorne as a powder in capsule form from Nature'sWay. The tincture could be dropped into an alcohol-proof capsule, if there is such a thing.

T_Anna Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Phewy. I bought tinctures of both from woodland essence. I guess I'll test them in the capsule first. T.Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowingmom Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 WoodLandEssence is highly recommended by Buhner. I would trust them above Nature'sWay. We just happen to have Nature's Way in our local health food store and it's too easy to go there to pick up hawthorne when I run out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Buhner also recommends/ suggests putting the tinctures in pomegranate juice, which is pretty flavorful (and sugary) Maybe your DS would drink down 1/4 cup of the juice with the tinctures in it?

T_Anna Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Ok, he's sleeping a ton again and doesn't like the taste of the tincture. Any suggestions other than juice? Also, he is sleeping, A LOT, this may be how his body deals with die off/herx, how long do I let it go before I stop or just give once a day? We are doing 15 drops twice a day. Should I ask to add Doxcycline? Thanks as always, T.Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
