Has this protocol helped you?
Can you say if you did the protocol with or without abx?
How long before you feel results?

There have been a few threads that discuss this. You may find more by searching above.
Some LLMDs incorporate parts of this protocol and, even with the whole protocol, sometimes abx are also used.
I did this for several months, twice. Once with doxy, once w/o any abx. If I had had the money, I would have stayed with this as it was working exceedingly well when I could do it.
It is intended for 6 months to a year (or more), depending on how long someone has been ill, how sick they are are and if they have coinfections.
You will actually feel some effects within 30 minutes of that first allicin capsule when your sinuses open up. Really. Does it for me. I could also think better with allicin.
I attended a seminar of his a few years ago and, although primarily for his Hep C patients, dozens of people were doing just fantastic. I talked with many of them and was very impressed.
The only other lyme patient at the seminar had been severely ill and, after a year or two, was 90% better and holding very steady for months. He did have trouble with that last 10% at that point in time.
While the cost is very reasonable considering what it takes to grow, harvest and manufacture top quality products and pay the people who do all the work - and the cost is far less than other paths - I wish I had known about this early on when I still had a little money.
Still, this is the best, in my experience. While I'm doing what I can afford of the Buhner protocol now, and it has certain advantages, I put Zhang's at the top of the list for how much better I felt when on it. The garlic smell is easy for me since I rarely ever even see another human being. However, for most, it's good to feed everyone Italian or Mediterranean foods so everyone has some garlic in them.
While not quite as effective for everyone, there is an alternate protocol that does not use allicin. That can be substituted at times.

I'm wondering if there is a less expensive way to do the allicin by getting the raw product and encapsulating yourself - much like you can do with the Buhner protocol.

I did the whole Zhang Protocol for 6 months straight without ABX.
It was the most expensive of the 3 alt. protocols I tried.
It made me smell so bad my husband would not touch me.
I had no results from it at all.

I am on Zhang since two years,not feeling well but other treatments didn't work either. Instead of garlic you can use coptis.

I was on at last part of the protocol for quite some time (Allicin, HH, Circulation P and a few others that I don't recall) and it certainly did not cure me. HH and CircP are fine, that garlic will make you stink horribly, to the point you will bother other people. You will also go "Nose-deaf" in three or four days, so you don't smell it any more, but everyone else will.
