Among a list of supplements and antibiotics, my Dr. also prescribed Teasel Tincture by Phillip Fritchey, ND.
While I was hunting for the best price, I ran into Phillip Fritchey’s website “hisgoodherbs.com” I called the contact number to ask the question about the price on different vials.
Mr. Fritchey answered the phone by himself and gave me some insight on how Lyme can be diagnosed by taking teasel tincture.
Usually for Lyme Doctors prescribe 1-3 drops three times a day. But if regular dose is taken, it will create herxheimer reaction and will be a sure sign of Borrelia.

- Most "lyme doctors" do not use teasel. Or, if they do, it's in rotation / combination. Be sure to read all you can from the books / website of Harrod Buhner, a master herbalist who is excellent in his writings.
This will help balance out information about approaches with herbal choices.
Teasel can be helpful. You do not need to rely on this kind of "testing" though as you have a positive Western Blot. Looking at his article here, he does warn to take it low and slow.
I can't read his article right now but saw a few sentences that may indicate this was he main helper. It can be for some. In fact, there have been several folks who have reported it was a major help to them. But there is never a real follow up to that so it's hard to know how they did months later.
But others have written that they did not found teasel to be of such great help. I sure did not - I tried it for just two months soon after I was diagnosed but many years after being very ill so I was very chronic by that time.
I used teasel alone (later found out any treatment best in combination and with rotation from time to time).
I see that you have another current thread where you say you are just starting antibiotics. Hope you found a good LLMD. Good luck.
Where can I buy Teasel? -

I think it's interesting what the LLMD said. There is also a woman named "Lady Barbara" ( who died of stomach cancer) who said she was completely healed with Teasel.
What Buhner says is that *sometimes* it works wonders and sometimes people just get no response at all. Meaning -- if you're one of those people the "herx test"might not be reliable.
