I am trying to discern if I have Bart or Babs or both.
My LLMD put me on Enula and then when I recently saw him, he wanted me to try Clinical Response Formulas BLT for what he thinks is Bart. It's his own concoction . BLT is red root, boneset, teasel, black walnut hulls, sarsaparilla and other herbs.
Anyone taken these and herxed?
I have been on the BLT for 4 days no and no real herx, maybe some chills and minor headache the first few times but hard to tell.
I just took the Enula and it made me feel instantly a little better.
Anyone know if they can be combined?
Who has done well on these or herxed?
Thanks!

Myco, I'm curious what your BLT dose is. Mine is 2 dropperfulls twice a day, which seems pretty high.

Hi Myco -- we have the same LLMD. I took BLT also for awhile but quit because I didn't notice much. I may start it up again. Janice, the LLMD works with the Dr T so they did their own tincture together.

I'm taking Omnicef, plaquenil, and zithromax. I don't know if they treat Bart at all. I don't even think I have Bart. I'm about to start Rifampin, which I think is for Bart. I wish I had time to ask my LLMD why he thinks I have Bart, but the appointment was so rushed.

My husband has been taking BLT drops for a couple of months. He has a clinical diagnosis of bart. He treated for babs in the past (lots of Malarone); fingers crossed, I think it may be gone.
Anyway, he felt a very definite herx when he started a very low dose of BLT drops. He slowly worked his way up to 50 drops a day, and for most of that time, had a reaction each time he increased. More recently, he hasn't noticed a big reaction.
He has not taken Enula, so can't speak to that.
Hope this helps. I hope you'll continue sharing feedback on your response to both the Enula and BLT.
