Hi all: I have been doing the Cowden protocol for 18 days, and tonight is when I am supposed to add 20 drops of Samento. This has me somewhat apprehensive, as I am afraid of the herx. Has anybody else done this, and if so, how was it to add the full dose of Samento as opposed to ramping up (which is what you do on Cowden with the Cumanda) Thanks

Ramp up, definately ramp up. Sometimes the instructions aren't that clear.
When I was on Cowden I called them a couple times for clarification. For instance I had already worked up to full protocol but it was time to change from Cumanda to the other one (I forgot which one!) and they told me how to ramp up.
I would advise a phone call to them but if you get too sick go as slow as you need to. Like adding only one drop a day if necessary.
Everyone is different. I also used Samento when I plateaued on Biaxin/Amoxy and was able to ramp up pretty quickly. BUT a year or so prior I had a much tougher time. I think it depends on your germ loan as well as how 'clean' your body is. If you can do some detox - that would really help.
Epsom Salt baths, infra red sauna, Burbur, Parsly (both Nutramedix( lemon water, etc.

I did not really herx with the Cowden stuff; nothing like abx and Zhang. Although now that I think about it I probably did have some herxing from the Cumanda: I'm at 26 drops (trying to get to 30.) But I am not really 'clean' - I know I need a great deal more detox. I think I will go with a few drops tonight and call them in the morning lol. PB4 are you using abx as well or just the Cowden? I am also on the Condensed. It is good to know it helps: God knows it costs enough. Please keep us up to date on your progress. Thanks everybody

I just looked in my protocol booklet, and it starts Samento 1 drop at a time. Up 1 drop each time you take it (twice a day).

Thanks all. I did just do 4 drops last night: I feel kind of energetic and jazzed, but not well. Weird. I am following the protocol to the letter (my husband thinks I am nuts as I mix all the little concoctions at all those times of the day. Where is the support group where members are using Cowden? I wish there was a way to sort out what's the result of Ceftin and what is the herbs. Oh well, guess it will all become clear eventually. I started taking some Vitamin C as well.
