Hi everyone,

Is it possible to challenge test on herbals (Byron White Formulas, etc)? My ND wants to challenge test w/abx after my equivocal 40 result. He says that abx tend to provide better results test- wise after the challenge (?), IIRC. I'm wanting to avoid abx if possible.

Thank you in advance!

After a week of Japanese Knotweed (was also on Cat's Claw), I got a severe herx, and a CDC positive Lyme test...

Thank you both.

Is it the same protocol of a few weeks on and then a week or so off before re-testing?

My LLMD would do 5 drops of BW as a challenge test and would have me wait 3-5 days before testing another tincture.

I was off the herbs almost 3 weeks before being tested.
