Perhaps this may discribe someone else too, but:
I am neuro-toxic, I was pulled off all abx due to toxicity and systemic yeast. I take 100mg of Diflucan, can't handle a stronger dose.
I am taking Amitiza twice a day, 800mg magnesium and Aloe Vera juice to try and clear out blockages...only sometimes sucessfully. (I took the med for 'gut bacteria' prior to starting.) I was supose to start CSM (to bind the toxins and yeast and expel) once things were moving well, but since they are not...we can't.
LLMD started me on Banderol this past Monday starting with 5 drops, working up to 20 by Saturday (tomorrow).
THIS is what is going on this week: I have sporadic, but increasing symptoms. headaches, migrains (w/ sound and light sensitivity), some bone pain (especially at the bottom of my heels and in the femur),
sudden weakness and loss of energy (like cutting a hole in a bag filled with sand steady quick drain out), irritibility, sleep abnormalities, double and/or blurred vision, some night time sweats, difficulty with reading out loud, and ear pain w/o infection.
Thoughst welcome, please.

When you start Banderol on the Cowden Support , you build up from 3 drops on day One (1 in the morning 30 mins before breakfast and 2 later on, 30 mins before evening meal. You advance by 2 drops each day until you reach 30 drops, twice per day.
I presume that you are taking it once a day? I found that I had to go more slowly than the protocol suggested and it took me around two weeks longer to get to full dose.
I got headaches , esp. between the eyes,, lots of eyelid twitching, sore eyes, allergic symptoms, extra fatigue and malaise, intensified back pain , extra night sweats, increased blurry vision......so some of our symptoms overlap and my guess is that you are Herxing from the Banderol.
On Cowden, you rotate onto some other herbs after 3 months of Banderol (and Samento with various other herbs, minerals and supplements). When the time came for me to rotate back onto Banderol for a while, I did find it much easier the second time around, so you will probably be able to tolerate it better as time goes on.
In the meantime, if it is too much, I would lower the dose and take your time building it, as there really is no virtue in rushing it. Maybe you could try adding some of the Cowden detox herbs like Burbur andq Pinella to see if they help, but I would check this with your LLMD.
Good luck!

I am taking Burbur and Pinella. The worse thing is having my sleep messed up again! The very blurry vision, that my glasses can't fully correct is not fun.
I was totally sleep deprived, it took about six months of treatment and then sleeping pills (Ambien, the side effects were horible so I stopped), before my sleep went back to "normal".
My LLMD had said it wasn't going to be Cowden, it would be similar though.

Yes, the blurry vision is a pain, and I fully understand about the disordered sleep: I go through phases with my sleep, with several very bad nights, but then it usually improves.
Hope you puck up soon.

I got it, no worries. My spelling often really stinks.
