Quick question?? I started Samento about 5 days ago and I feel like my heart is going to pound out of my chest.

I'm a nurse, so I checked my heart rate at work and it was 110, I feel dizzy, tingling feet and kind of like I'm hallucinating a little.

I can't find any info on Samento and rapid heart rate. This is the only new med for me. Did this happen to anyone?

I started at 5 drops twice a day and I'm up to 10. So not a huge amount.

It can be quite hard to believe these little drops can pack such a punch, I know,

especially if you are new to treating, it's no joke to go 'low and slow' to see how you do- meaning go up 1 drop at a time.

Before I was on any antibiotics or treatment for Lyme/ Bart, first thing I took was just a few drops of a Bart tincture, B. Balance,

within seconds I had a pound behind my left eye, then a zinger in my foot. It was bizarre.

So go slow. 'Detox' is 'real', too.

Sorry you got clobbered with this herxheimer reaction. MAGNESIUM should help right now.

As you are a nurse and at work, I wonder if you might need to take a break (if you can?), get some magnesium and water - and good food in you - rest a bit and see if you feel better.

For Samento, this may sound like "not a huge amount" but it is. I also found out the hard way that, really, it's important to

start with just ONE drop in a full cup of water. Just once a day.

Really. For several days before even going to TWO drops. Increase only drop by drop, gradually. It's really important.

Do NOT take any acetaminophen as that can make a herxheimer reaction MUCH worse. If you have done so, somehow, get glutathione into you (or a precursor to that). Detail in Liver Support set for why this advice.

If there is anyway you could get an IV Glutathione there at work, that could pull you around.

Thanks. I'm going to cut back on it for awhile
