Some background first: I have been on the Buhner protocol for several months. Early in, I tried nattokinase for biofilms. I felt HORRIBLE with a couple of days, so I quit. I have scraped and crawled up to a level of health than I am (barely) able to hold down a full-time job, and I must function at a certain level to do it, and I couldn't with the nattokinase doing it's thing.
I decided to give it another try a few days ago (I think it was Thursday or Friday night). I'm not feeling very good again today (Sunday), so it looks like I'm going to have to stay away or use it differently if at all.
Now the question: can I be sure that the nattokinase is just busting up biofilms, and that the ensuing misery is from immune activity and toxin release, or could it be doing real damage in my body?
I was taking Doctor's Best, 2000 FU, and I use it as Buhner directs one to use serrapeptase in his mycoplasma protocol (one at night on an empty stomach). http://buhnerhealinglyme.com/the-protocols/#MYCOPosts: 9 | From Midvale, UT | Registered: Oct 2011

I don't think you can. As least I'm not aware of a system that alerts us.
Good luck!!

I have exact reaction with serra peptase ! Feels like living hell , which must mean it is hitting biofilm . I literally get close to tears . My advice is to take no more tham half a capsule daily . Usually the worst herxing will die down in a couple of weeks, then you can go to a whole capsule daily . I strongly suspect the enzyme is the cause of the misery and I was shocked at how powerful the effect was .

The serra peptase herxes made me feel like a sleepy dishrag . I can only take a half capsule if I want to function .

It's probably quite variable from person to person. Depends upon your bacterial load and how sick you are.
