Ok so Ive been treating for a few weeks with biaxin planequil and honestly ive been noticing improvement quite a bit. i herxed at first but then as the weeks went by felt better. i was SO HAPPY. really starting feel more back to my old self. it was great
however I was sensing I had a yeast issue because I was getting lots of bloating. I take Undecenoic Acid given to me by my LLMD but it wasnt doing much. so i bought Olive Leaf Extract Tincture at Whole Foods. Took it the other day and I was alright. then yesterday I took it twice. boiled water and put it in. once almost full dose and one about half dose. and i was fine
however this morning I woke up and had it full dose and now i feel so out of it. and crappy. like a herx. im upset because I was doing so well and now this. I feel like im taking a bunch of steps back. I hope that the next few times I take it, the herxes are less and less
should I wait a few days to take it again?

- You say: " . . . this morning I woke up and had it full dose . . ."
You should NOT be up to a full dose yet. You just started this 2 days ago.
Very clear information on how to start out slowly, with a low dose - and what to expect in regards to OLE herxing - were posted 2 days ago in your other thread about OLE.
Be sure to go back and read the instructions and cautions.
I really think I had a bit of a yeast problem bcuz my stomach was getting bloated alot. but i find that right now my stomach isnt bad. Hope the OLE took care of it
I figured since I was able to tolerate a full dose yesterday and then a half dose last night. that this morning Id be able to tolerate a full dose too. but I ended up herxing
when do you think my next dose of OLE should be. not for a few days?

- I'd see how you feel with one drop a day in 1/2 cup of warm water. Then, if you do okay, up that to two drops a day, then gradually increase. It's important to know that a herx can hit the next day (or even later).
Best not to put this in boiled water. Warm water is okay. See the post at the other thread about how anything that grows above ground and is in a tincture should be in WARM, not hot water.
Below the ground plant matter for tinctures can be put into hot water. Above the ground leaves, flowers, berries, etc. can loose some of their important properties if they are put into boiling water. There are some exceptions but it is just a good idea to be gentle with all plants parts that grow above ground (aerial parts).
Good luck. -
