Does anyone know what the treatment is for Anaplasmosis? I believe it is Doxcycline and I am not sure of the length of time. Are there any herbal protocols for this?
Thank you in advance. Artistdi

I found this in Dr. Burrascano's Guidelines pg. 35 (don't know if they have been updated). DOn't know of herbal protocols
TREATMENT Standard treatment consists of Doxycycline, 200 mg daily for two to four weeks. Higher doses, parenteral therapy, and longer treatment durations may be needed based on the duration and severity of illness, and whether immune defects or extreme age is present. However, there are reports of treatment failure even when higher doses and long duration treatment with doxycycline is given. In such cases, consideration may be given for adding rifampin, 600 mg daily, to the regimen

Welcome back ArtistDi
Since you mentioned herbal therapy, this is from The Naturally At Home website;
ANA PLASMA AND ERHLICHIA
Most common symptoms:
Fever, headache, muscle pain, nausea, joint pain, vomiting, rash, cough, pharyngitis (inflammation of the throat), diarrhea, lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes), abdominal pain, confusion. Acute untreated infections have a fatality rate of 2-5% for Ehrlichia and 1% for Anaplasma, and can cause sepsis and septic shock. But, HGA and HME can also cause chronic illness without a fatality risk.
Where to order labs:
IGeneX DNA Connexions Vibrant Wellness Armin Labs (a great option for people in Europe)
Note: Under each of the below herbs, I will include links to the prepared tincture, bulk dried, glycerin extract, and powdered versions. Mountain Rose Herbs has the best prices, so whatever Buhner herbs I can find there, I order. For more rare herbs, I order from Herbie’s Herbs. Hawaii Pharm sells a wide range of glycerin extracts.
Prepared tinctures are best for people who have no alcohol sensitivity and have more money to spend on treatment than time to make their own tinctures.
Bulk dried herbs are best for making tinctures or glycerin extracts at home, for people who have limited funds (this is 90% cheaper than purchasing prepared tinctures).
Glycerin extracts are best for people who have alcohol sensitivity but can tolerate trace amounts of alcohol and have more money to spend on treatment than time to make their own extracts.
Powdered herbs are best for people who have severe alcohol sensitivity and cannot tolerate trace amounts in glycerin extracts. The dose for powdered herbs is approximately 2x the dose for tinctures and glycerin extracts, so keep that in mind as you read the below protocol.
THE CORE BUHNER PROTOCOL FOR NON-SEPTIC EHRLICHIA AND ANAPLASMA INFECTIONS:
Including herbs for antibacterial action, immune modulation, and bone marrow, liver, and spleen/lymph node protection and modulation. (Follow protocol for 12 months, or until infection resolves)
Red Sage (Salvia miltiorrhiza) and Houttuynia tincture combination (equal parts of each), 1/2 tsp 6x daily Red Sage: tincture, bulk dried, glycerin extract, powdered Houttuynia: tincture, bulk dried, glycerin extract, powdered
Quercetin, 1,000 mg 2x daily
Chinese Scullcap, Cordyceps, Kudzu root tincture combination (equal parts of each), 1/2 tsp 3-6x daily Chinese Scullcap: tincture, bulk dried, glycerin extract, powdered Cordyceps: tincture, bulk dried, glycerin extract, powdered Kudzu root: tincture, bulk dried, glycerin extract, powdered
Milk thistle seed, standardized, 1200-2400 mg daily, depending on severity of condition (function: protection of liver)
Extended Repertory
For early, acute Anaplasma or Ehrlichia infection, substitute Chinese Scullcap, 1/2-1 tsp 3-6x daily, for the Ashwagandha.
The core protocol is designed to cover most aspects of a non-septic Ehrlichia or Anaplasma infection, but Buhner also includes an expanded repertory with suggestions for specific problems caused by these two bacteria in his book Natural Treatments for Lyme Coinfections. I’ve included one of the suggestions above. To explore the rest, please don’t hesitate to buy the book.
