Gigi, Just wandering if you can tell me if Rechts-regulat is contraindicted with any medicines as heparin is. Thanks for your help, I am currently on Rifampin and Minocycline and pulsing flagyl but wanted to make sure before purchasing that that there are no interactions. Thanks, Robin in Houston

Robin, what doses are you doing how often are you pulsing in Flagyl?
I'm going to start this combo next month and am preparing for the punch. Posts: 2451 | From Lyme Central | Registered: Aug 2001

Foggy, I started out with just Minocycline and Flagyl and did that for about 4 weeks straight i started feeling so toxic from the flagyl so now i am taking the Rifampin and Mino and pulsing Flagyl one week on and one week off. I am kind of doing this on my own which is not a good idea i know.... but there are no good LLMD's down here and i was getting no where. I am also on Samento per my Holistic Dr and tons of garlic so we shall see....I definitely feel worse on the combo but it has not been too bad. Best wishes and let me know how you do.

Thanks Robin, be careful. Rifamp can cause one's liver function to become elevated. I intend to have my liver function tested to be on the safe side. I was OK with just Mino + Flagyl, but I have a feeling the Rifamp may throw me for a loop. Got to kick the Bart in the but. Good luck!

Robin61, if you have high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid, diabetes, high cholesterol where you are taking drugs, or of course blood thinning drugs - you should check with your doctor. If you have too strong a reaction when your body suddenly has a ton of enzymes to work with, just take less. A few drops will do just fine. Also, if you plan to have any surgical interventions, just as you would not take other enzymes at that time, do not take Rechtsregulat at that time.
I notice you have a holistic doctor - why do you not check with him. He should be familiar with it.
Also, I hope you realize that garlic (not just the bit as food) will have a killing effect and of course so does Samento. Don't overdo it. I am not sure it is a wise idea to do abx and all this other natural killer stuff. Nothing is worse than if you overload your body with die-off -- I don't think that's desirable. Remember, your body will do it all in its own time - pushing does not work -- it just backfires and your eliminating organs - kidney and liver definitely do not take well to that.
Remember also that if you force all that die-off you should take chlorella or similar substances - because with the microbial die-off, metals are also being released - whether you believe me or not. If you feel bad with die-off, that is most likely the reason - you are recirculating metals and other substances that the body would like to get out. So, my doctor's rule is, if you are on abx or any other killing substance, you need to detox the other neurotoxins also.
Take care.
