was just wondering if any of you Lymies had [or still are] taken Samento treatment and gotten very good, good, medium, poor benefits from it? In 2002 I went on a heavy regimen of Cat's Claw [from sourse, in purest form] and achieved a good deal of success from it.. [even if the taste was so horrendous it almost drove me over the edge haha]

echorox,
I started TOA free Cat's Claw (Prima Una de Gato) about 3 weeks ago, so it is too soon to report results.
I am working my way up to a higher dosage.
I am also on doxy and plaquenil.

After reading Eva Sapi's June study on that and Banderol, I started taking them, and I wound up having a major relapse. Cognitive function went from around 100% to about 85%. So right now I'm inclined to believe the Swiss Martin Sievers, who concluded that Samento actually promoted Bb growth.
Maybe others have had better results.

From my perception, I feel better from Samento (using Nutramedix brand). It is subtle though, but there. So I keep taking it.
I didn't herx from it. Though when I tried it, I had already done tons of Lyme treatment, so that could be why.

I took TOA free cat's claw, Prima Una de Gato, AFTER I had treated lyme with ketek and was 90% better. I took 1200mg 2-3 times a day. It kept lyme down for several months. I also took grapefruit seed extract.
I do not take it any more. I don't know if it works or not. I wouldn't bet on any of the herbs to take care of lyme and the co-infections without abx support.
Bartonella surfaced after I quit the Ketek. I think another disease will surface and take over when lyme is repressed but not eradicated. I had a lyme flare so I know it is still there.
