I am starting a-bart and when I got the instructions from doc last week, I was very sick, I have an e-mail to get clarification.
In the meantime, would I start with one drop once a day or 1 drop twice a day and when would I increase it? And is it when you start feeling sicker than you hold that dose?

I would start with one drop twice a day. It's not an exact science so you can play around with it a little to see how you feel.
I just keep going up until I can feel its effects and hold it. Don't forget these formulas are based on rebuilding and reprogramming the immune system, so your goal isn't to herx like mad. You're retraining the terrain Posted by didogs (Member # 40101) on :
Hi I had read to start A-bart by using a full glass of water and putting one drop in. Swirl it around-don't mix-and only start with one mouthful. I recently started and that is all I am doing. I am herxing on that one mouthful!
We are all different as I know some have started with a full drop and done ok. Maybe start slow and if you do ok, then increase? My llnd also says to swish it around in your mouth prior to swallowing. She said when herxing stops, it is time to increase.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Pony-are you having any positive results? I am just starting so would love to hear your experience. Thanks

Hey dogs!
Yeah I really like the byron white formulas!! The A-L and the A-BART are definitely keepers in my arsenal.
I also like how you can use them diagnostically. Trying different formulas really does give you an indication of what pathogen(s) you're up against.
But I think their real benefit is when you transition off antibiotics. Not only are they going to keep the bacteria in check, they are also going to reprogram your immune system to have constant surveillance on the bacteria.
Definitely give them a shot! I would imagine you will flare at first, but then level out and feel better
Good Luck!!!!!!

thanks guys..also do you hold the water in your mouth for 1 minute before swallowing like the directions say? I just did that and was gagging.
Can you just put in water and drink?

Just hold it in as long as you can tolerate. You only need a very small amount of water with the drops.

Man I'm starting to sound like a broken record. How is that no one seems to know that you need to detox with those herbal formulas by Byron White. If you listen to his recorded lecture on his blog he will tell you. Herxing is ok for diagnosing but after that you dont need to feel bad. Herxing is your body not able to deal with elimination. TAKE the detox formulas. Feel better. WHY suffer? Listen to the lecture and learn. byronwhiteformulas.com is their website and blog link is on there.

I'm a moron; I just got A Bart and put 10 drops in some water the first day...no wonder I felt like poop.

kaybabalima, I'm a little confused, who doesn't know that you need to detox? I detox constantly I still suffer tremendously every day , if I'm on or off meds.
Sometimes I don't feel well enough to sit at my computer, yes I'm that sick.
And now I will sound like a broken record like I tell others that have the same attitude you seem to have like your above me and make me feel stupid for asking the questions I do, do NOT answer any of my posts from this point on.
I just cannot take these sarcastic answers right now.
thanks

My doc had me start by putting one drop in a glass of water and drinking a third of the glass in the morning of the first day (put the rest in the refrigerator). If I didn't herx on the 1/3 of a glass, then the next day I could drink another 1/3 in the am, and if no herx, then the other 1/3 in the pm.
Go very slowly on these drops (very strong). The key is NOT to herx on these herbs. My doc said that people who accelerated too fast on them failed treatment and warned me to go slowly. So I went super slow. I only added one drop every one to two weeks, and if I herxed on the additional drop, I backed down to the dose I didn't herx at (per my doc's instructions). This is the best way to use these herbs with success.

I'm now on A-Inflam. I started with 1/16th of a drop yesterday and moved up to 1/8th of a drop today.
My body cannot genetically detox. I detox and detox and detox and still always have a hard time with everything. You are not alone shannon. Lots of us have the same problem.
