It’s done wonders for me.
I was bitten by a tick with a target shaped rash early July of this year (2018). Due to past history of spinal injuries, and auto immune issues, Lyme Disease set in quickly with very difficult symptoms. After one cycle of Doxycycline it was better for about a week, then it returned with vengeance. Second round of Doxycycline didn’t work and the next step with western medicine would’ve been long term and serious antibiotics in both oral and possibly intravenous forms.<br /><br />I came across this formula while reading Dr. Will Rawls M.D.’s book “Unlocking Lyme” which detailed how various herbs work with both the infections and the symptoms with excellent scientific explanations. The herbs in this formula are all listed (minus stevia) but it’s missing Andrographis if you want to follow Stephen Buhner’s protocol which is also recommended in Dr. Rawls’ book.  I opted to start this formula plus andrographis while I was still finishing up my second cycle of Doxycycline. My body did go through herxing. Started with 1 dose per day, eventually increased to 2, now I am on 3-5 doses per day. When I was herxing, I was sweating profusely all day long. My sheets stunk of sweat that didn’t smell like me. The sweat must’ve been pretty toxic as my sheets also started to deteriorate when I wished them a couple times later. As soon as I started taking this formula, I could feel my brain functioning more clearly. I still got winded easily, but I was not exhausted to the point of dysfunction any more. It was a gradual process to recover out of the fatigue. And my physical pain also began to subside. My flexibility actually increased and got better than before Lyme (I lost quite a bit of flexibity due to my spinal injuries). This is because of the anti-inflammatory and immune boosting qualities of these herbs. But I still had swollen joints and pain if I ate too much starch/gluten/sugar/dairy. After running a test for rheumatoid arthritis and it came back negative, I started a gluten-free, low starch, low sugar and low dairy diet 3 weeks ago. In the past 3 weeks, I lost 8 lb. I have never been able to lose weight this fast my whole life. I have gone on similar food regimen before, and I was lucky if I lost 0.8 lb per week. I can see these herbs are repairing my internal system, and my body is absorbing nutrients differently therefore eliminating the need to store fat.<br /><br />I started with the 2 oz package, and it was okay when I was ramping up the dosage. I ordered the largest loose powder package to follow suit, it looks like I’ll be through with it in the next 2 weeks again. (I am dosing 3-5 days everyday). I dilute it with a small amount of hot water then mixed with a little bit of cold water, and down it like a shot. It’s not pleasant but it’s not intolerable. I also ordered the vegan capsules. For some reason I get constipated when I use the capsules, so I am sticking with the powder. But the capsules are very convenient when I need to be out of the house for a while.<br /><br />I am planning on continuing this formula plus the andrographis for 6 months in the high dosage. I am not sure what I would do after. I am glad my body is healing. Hope this information is helpful.
