There are different herbal protocols you can choose between.

- Cowden
- Byron White
- Jernigan's
- Buhner's

The one i was on (and hope to be back on soon) is Buhner's.
Here is the website if you're interested:

buhnerhealinglyme.com
You can see the 'older' protocols on the left hand side of the home page. He no longer updates that site...but has continued to research and change the protocols. You can purchase his book if you want to learn about not only the core herbs, but the support herbs as well.

For Lyme - the core protocol was Japanese knotweed, Cat's Claw, Eleutheros and Astragalus. (There is a warning about using Astragalus with chronic lyme..but some people have been fine adding it to their protocol)
I haven't purchased his new Lyme treatment book, so not sure of all the core herbs he recommends.

You could get started with the 'older' protocol and see how you fare while waiting for his book to arrive.

Stephen Buhner recommends several different sources for herbs. If you want capsules, Green Dragon Botanicals is one. For tinctures, there is Woodland Essence, and Sage Woman Herbs to name a couple.
You order them online.

Here is the link to the Cowden website:

www.nutramedix.ec/ns/lyme-protocol

Jernigan's:

www.jernigannutraceuticals.com

Byron White:

www.byronwhiteformulas.com

I think you have to buy Byron White's through a Practitioner.

Hi Wtj,
The most commonly used herbal protocols that are used by members here are Buhner's: buhnerhealinglyme.com/the-protocols/ and Cowden's: www.nutramedix.ec/ns/lyme-protocol/292-condensed-cowden-support-program-summary

Detoxing information: www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html

I buy bulk turmeric and make my own capsules because I take too much to just mix into something. I take 1500 mgs three times a day. I had to build up to that amount, and I'm careful to stay at that amount because that's where I find it helps most with my arthritis and other inflammation. We each have our own needs and tolerances though, so be careful.

As PeteZa has said, we kind of need to know what supplements and a bit more about you before we can just start suggesting how much of what. We aren't doctors, but we have talked to a lot of people and can at times help you get started.
