GENERAL SUPPLEMENT INFORMATION

 

 

The information below pertains to most nutritional/herbal supplements.

 

If a supplement is formulated with herbs primarily, it is best to take them with little or no food in the stomach for best absorption.  Taking them with 8-12 ounces of water is optimal, this creates a “tea” in the stomach. Empty stomach means 30 minutes before a meal or 2-3 hours after, depending on how “heavy “ the meal is.

If a supplement contains minerals and/or fat-soluble nutrients (vitamin A, vitamin E, omega oils) it is best taken with a meal for optimal absorption.

Any supplement that causes stomach discomfort when taken on an empty stomach (which would be noticed within minutes of taking) should be taken with a little food in the future.  A little fruit or rice cracker often helps.

 

INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO
LYME-AID FORMULATIONS

 

LYME RECOVERY
In addition to the information you will receive with your order, keep the following in mind.

If you choose to take Lyme Recovery with other killing agents; antibiotics, Rife, other herbs, etc. be sure to adjust the dosage of the Lyme Recovery, or whatever else you are taking, to avoid being in a chronic Herx reaction.  Bottom-line, it is OK to combine killing agents and this can be a good thing as it keeps the Borrelia on the defense.
The affective dosage differs from person to person.  Using Stephen Buhner’s recommendations for Cat’s claw (Uncaria), the daily dosage would be 1500-8000 mg a day.   This would be obtained by taking 4-7 capsules of Lyme Recovery 3-4 times a day.  This can be quite a handful of pills but understand that this dosage also supplies the amount of the other herbs Stephen recommends in his “core protocol”.  The total number of capsules a day will be less taking Lyme Recovery than if one took individual herbal capsules.
To notice a benefit from this formula most people need to continue its usage for 3-6 weeks uninterrupted.
So, as with any other treatments you may choose, don’t be too quick to judge the benefit or lack thereof.

It is important to protect yourself, primarily your nervous system, from the toxins of dying Borrelia when taking any killing agent (including Lyme Recovery) by keeping your glutathione levels up.  Take Enhance Glutathione or the nutrients in this formula.

EDTA

Some people experience stomach upset when this is taken on an empty stomach.  While it is OK to take this with a small amount of food, be sure to avoid taking it with anything containing minerals.  Using this product is very beneficial for many though taking it can be cumbersome if you are taking other nutrients away from food/minerals.  EDTA can be taken at the same time as Lyme Recovery and Parasite Recovery but not with Enhance Glutathione or Enhance the Heart.
EDTA can be taken for many weeks as long as you are replenishing your minerals.

PARASITE RECOVERY

This is a strong formula and again, I would caution you not to take it for more than 3 weeks without taking a break from it.  Taking EDTA with it is especially beneficial for those with intestinal parasites, yeast or bacterial pathogens.

ENHANCE GLUTATHIONE

Given that we are exposed to free radicals daily, I believe that everyone should be taking a supplement that increases glutathione levels.  Glutathione is one of the most potent free radical scavengers in the human body.  Take more of this as die-off/Herx symptoms increase.

ENHANCE THE HEART

Can not be taken if you are taking a prescription anticoagulant drug, otherwise just take it if you have heart symptoms with Lyme disease.
