I just got my parasite test back. Yes a was positive for 3 little critters, Toxoplasma, Helicobacter, and Trincinella. I Asked my LLMD about Enula, be was aware of it, and gave me the go ahead. Didn't know much about it. Also gave me a script for Alinia, and referral to a gastrointestinologist.
I'm currenly on Doxy 400mg for lyme and Bactrim DS 3 tabs a day, for bart. I have only started taking 2 drops 2 times a day as the bottle says. The stuff is making me herx considerably. Just a WHOLE lot of Anxiety. I almost getting panic attacks. The anxiety would almost be unnerving if it weren't for the pinella and burbur I'm also taking.
I have read of people starting way higher like 20 drops! I don't think I have babs, I never had symptoms, but I was on both alinia and mepron w/biaxin previously for about a year and a half.
Are these parasites I'm killing? How should I ramp up. I have an event this sunday I have to goto. I have to make it there. Theres no way I'm ramping up until after that. But how should I do it?
Is it bad to be taking this little?

I can't get my husband past 12 drops because it causes stomach problems for him. I think you basically add a drop every day until you get uncomfortable and then wait a while and try to keep moving once you adjust. Just my opinion.

Foggy,
I ramped up to 30 drops 2X a day of Enula within a week. The only thing I'm noticing is the anxiety and emotional part you mentioned.
Clearly, it's not hitting me nearly as hard as you because I wouldn't have made it up to the max doseage that quickly.
I have tested pos for Babs but have no clinical symptoms (so have never been treated with the regular protocol) so I took it to see if I would herx.
The only other symptom I noticed was some tingling/numbing of limbs but that could be the Cumanda or Mesosilver I'm taking, as well.
I don't "think" I have any parasites that I know of so maybe you're hitting those and that's what's causing your herxes OR maybe you do have some babs in your symptom and it's hitting that, too.
I'm so sorry I don't have a solid answer for you but just thought I'd share my experience. I know a lot of folks take a long time to ramp up, so you're not the only one!
I'm sure others will chime in but in the meantime, you could do a search for Enula and I know a lot of people have shared their reactions or lack thereof.

I, personally, don't know anything about alinia but it may be TOO much TOO soon if you add it in.
That's what my mind would tell me logically but, again, not familiar with alinia.
You might want to consider some anti-anxiety meds to get you through ramping up on the Enula. It DOES increase my anxiety and I'm very grateful that I have xanax during those times.
It alleviates the anxiety (like Burbur) but like DOUBLE.
