Below is a list of things to try to reduce herx reactions.

-- Caster oil packs

-- Milk thistle -- standardized best -- dose -- think he suggested 1200 mg daily -- pretty sure this is discussed in depth in Healing Lyme book

-- Powdered zeolite -- dose 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon 3 times daily

-- Chlorella or spirulina -- Same dose as above

-- Epsom salts baths

-- Green clay (edible) -- dose -- 1 tablespoon mixed with water

-- Motherwort tincture -- regenerates mitochondria

-- l-arginine -- regenerates mitochondria -- avoid with active Herpes infection -- more about this in Bartonella discussion

-- pine pollen -- increases testosterone and muscle -- Woodland Essence sells a blended tincture

-- nux vomica -- homeopathic -- 30c -- follow instructions on package

-- fermented wheat germ -- very expensive -- good to put on weight

-- bone broth soup -- if you can stand the smell

-- colostrum

Biofilms -- Buhner does not believe it is necessary to treat biofilms but the things below can be used for this purpose if desired.

-- NAC (n-acetyl-cysteine) -- 2000 mg 2 times daily

-- Greater celandine tincture -- don't believe what you read about the extreme toxicity of this herb -- dose -- 1/2 teaspoon 3 times daily. Note Steve used this as a liver flush when his bilirubin numbers went high. I added between 5 and 15 drops to his herbal mixture 2 times daily. A few times did 30 drops (1 dropper) I think. Pretty sure 1/2 teaspoon would be 2 1/2 droppers.

-- Royal jelly -- dose -- 1 teaspoon 3 times daily
