I am ramping up my treatment, but now I need to know where to stop, because I am reading different things on different web pages.
When I started my Nutramedix drops (the Samento, Banderol, and Cumanda) I was told to increase by one drop per day until herx, then either stop there or even go down by one if having a hard time.
However, I know I will get to the point, soon, where I should not go higher. I have read that some take Samento up to 15 drops 2x per day? Is that correct? And I have read that some drops they say that 10 drops 2x per day is enough? So, and I am not there yet, but do you have any idea where I would stop with each one and just stay there?
I plan to do what my doctor said, but I hope I am explaining myself clearly.
So, for example, say I herx at 18 drops per day and I stay there a while, then when I am ready to go back up, say there is no hexing involved, just for the example's sake, would I then stop at 20 drops per day? 30 drops per day? More or less?
Or is there a web page with some good guidelines for the "therapeutic dose?"
I hope, again, that I am explaining my question clearly, and I thank you in advance for any assistance with this one.

I also wanted to add that I am alternating the Samento and Banderol, too.
But, wow, I am disappointed, because I just read the Nutramedix site's label dosages and they say up to 30 drops twice daily for a total of 60 drops per day? ???
I thought I had read that twenty drops or even thirty drops (depending upon which one) was the TOP dosage for maintenance, so I was really feeling good about being much closer to being there.
Now, if that is true (60 drops!) I am way far away from that, at only 16 drops (total) per day or 8 drops 2x per day.
I will google what you suggest, but I have also heard many positive things about these natural abx, and I know they are being researched and studied by Eva Sapi and others? Yes?

I don't know that Sievers published anything convincing about his assertions though, did he?
I feel the Samento/Banderol protocol has helped. Of course, if you are very symptomatic, it may be more effective to use the herbs in conjunction with abx.
If you're buying from Nutramedix, no need to rack your brain about dosages. They give you a protocol booklet for a reason. When in doubt, just follow the booklet.
I like the herbs. I'm not sure they'll put me in remission but they are helping.

I messaged my doctor, and she said that 30 drops, 2x per day is an awful lot (recommended dose on the bottles). She told me that she believes that 15 drops, 2x per day (30 drops per day MAX) is the most effective dosage and anything higher than that may just be wasting money.
Because it is more manageable for me, I will begin with the goal of 30 total.
I really have to see if this works for me. I decided to "go natural" because of too many horror stories about the effects of the longterm abx. I am trying to keep an open mind. I believe we are all so different. Even the infection inside us is so very different and varies.
This is my first line of treatment. If I do not get well, I can always try the abx. I just did not want to do it the other way around, for many reasons that I will not list.
I try to read and educate myself, plus trust in my doctor, because I believe I have found a "diamond in the rough" and I am very fortunate.
I respect all your advice and opinions, too.
Thank you, friends!

Hi there! I wanted to let you know that my doctors suggested dose is 15 drops twice a day. This is his normal effective dose. My doctor also said that there are patients who had a severe case of Chronic Lymes and could only work their way up to 3 drops per day over a long period of time. They continued to stay at 3 drops a day and were healed of Lymes eventually. Banderol is effective on going after Lymes cysts. It is very important that your body is detoxing properly since Nutramedix drops are a very effective and a strong natural treatment. I did antibiotics but it seemed to drive my Lymes even deeper. So natural treatments have been the answer for me. I hope this helps.
God is faithful and will continue to direct our steps!
