I've always found that my herxes with initial recommended doses of buhner herbs have been tolerable. therefore, I started by tx with buhner with 3 tablets/twice daily and have been ramping up from there.
Is there any benefit to starting really slowly or any benefit to small doesages at a time? Do large doses cause ketes to encyst?

Buhner made me herx, which is very rare for me. I wasn't a happy camper. So yes, I would ramp up-- not super slow, but go by your symptoms.

OK thanks. I have been going by symptoms which is why i started high because the herxes were manageable. I was wondering if there was any theory behind how the herbs interact with the bacteria that suggested an incremental increase

Personal experience suggests strongly that one should proceed very slowly and cautiously with the Buhner Core Protocol. I ramped up on the protocol too quickly and wound up in the hospital unable to swallow, eat or drink anything, extremely dehydrated. This was in 2008, and I still have not recovered the ability to swallow normally in 2011.

Sorry to hear that Razzle. I suppose it depends on peoples individual reactions to the constituent herbs
