Ehrlichia treatment

Withania somnifera / Ashwagandha

4 bottles of 100ml with alcohol in a 1:2 dilution

Ashwagandha (Indian ginseng, Lat. Withania somnifera) is a herb which has a very positive effect on the nervous system and is worth supporting in case of neurological problems. Its effect in Lyme disease is multidirectional, as you can learn from the previous descriptions. For this reason, it blends in very well with the therapy.

ALA Herbal Mix

8 bottles of 100ml with alcohol in a 1:2 dilution

The ALA mix is made up of extracts from Angelica Sinesis Root, Licorice Root and Astragalus Membranceus Root:

Angelica sinensis due to the content of coumarin dilates blood vessels, so it is excellent in improving blood circulation in internal organs and muscles. Angelica sinensis is also recommended in the treatment of neurosis, insomnia and respiratory diseases. It is also used to reduce Lyme neurotoxins (e.g. quinolinic acid). It can sometimes contribute to mild diarrhoea.

Licorice (Liquorice) is a herb used for Babesia, Chlamydia, Ehrlichia and Yersinia. It is also a herb with strong antiviral properties and a powerful synergist. Synergistic herbs are those that facilitate and enhance the action of other plants and pharmaceuticals. Licorice should therefore be used in combination with other herbs. The reported side effects relate to the use of this herb in large quantities and as a sole preparation (rather than in a synergistic combination). In this case, do not use Licorice for more than 4-6 weeks. Used alone or in large doses, it can cause, among other things, numbness, oedema, limb weakness, dizziness, headache or hypertension especially in the case of older people. Licorice is contraindicated when suffering from hypertension, hypokalaemia, hypernatraemia and in case of low testosterone levels.

Astragalus membranceus is an immunostimulant herb. It increases levels of gamma interferon and interleukin 2. High levels of these reduce the likelihood of infection and if infection does occur, the effects of the disease will be much less, the development of symptoms weaker and the disease easier to treat. It should be taken by people living in Lyme disease endemic areas. It also increases CD4 titres and the CD4/CD8 ratio. The higher the level of CD4 white blood cells, the better the individual response to infection and treatment. Astragalus membranaceus is contraindicated in the late stage of Lyme disease because it stimulates the already increased TH1 reactions. This may worsen the symptoms of the disease. It is, however, indicated in pre, and early disseminated Lyme disease states.

CKC Herbal Mix

8 bottles of 100ml with alcohol in a 1:2 dilution

The CKC mix is made up of extracts from Chinese skullcap root, Kudzu root and Cordyceps sinensis :

Chinese skullcap (Baikal skullcap, Lat. Scutellaria baicalensis) acts as a modulator of the cytokine cascade, i.e. a regulator of inflammatory processes taking place in the nervous system. The spectrum of action of this herb is wide. In addition to its positive effects on the nervous system, Baikal skullcap has strong antiviral and antibacterial effects. It reduces the replication of pathogens, suppresses the expression of viral genes, interferes with the penetration of viruses, affects the functions of the immune system and has many other health-promoting properties. Chinese skullcap is also a very good synergist. Synergy means that the combination of two (or more) factors gives better results than the sum of the parts, i.e. the effect is intensified. So Chinese skullcap goes very well in combination with herbs but when you want to combine it with medicines, be sure to consult your doctor. Chinese skullcap can affect insulin and blood sugar levels, so people with type 1 diabetes should be cautious. The plant can interact with medications that lower blood pressure.

Kudzu (Lat. Pueraria lobata) has a number of health-promoting properties. The components contained in the plant show anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Puerarin is considered to be a particularly valuable ingredient, which exhibits anti-arrhythmic, blood circulation promoting and anti- diabetic effects. Kudzu has become popular as a support for addiction treatment, but it also has positive effects on the nervous system. It shows anti-inflammatory effects within the nervous system. It is useful for the symptom of feeling “pressure” in the brain or neurogenic pain.

Cordyceps is a medicinal fungi. It is a powerful adaptogen. It protects mitochondria, supports cellular respiration processes and stimulates ATP production. It has an immunomodulating effect, i.e. if the immunological activity is too high, the fungi lowers it, and if it is too low, it raises it. On the one hand, it has an antibacterial effect and at the same time it lowers the concentration of inflammatory cytokines. It strengthens the heart muscle and lowers blood pressure. It helps with a reduced sex drive and problems with memory and concentration and the so-called brain fog.

HS Herbal Mix

8 bottles of 100ml with alcohol in a 1:2 dilution

The HS mix is made up of extracts from Houttuynia cordata herb, Salvia miltiorrhiza root :

Houttuynia cordata is a herb used for Lyme, Bartonella and Mycoplasma infections. It is also a herb with strong antiviral properties. It inhibits viral replication and prevents viral infections. Houttuynia has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Houttuynia has a specific fishy smell and aftertaste.

Salvia (Red sage, Lat. Salvia miltiorrhiza) is a herb that, like Chinese skullcap is used as a modulator of the cytokine cascade, i.e. it regulates the complex inflammatory process triggered during infections, including those taking place in the nervous system. In addition, it protects the integrity of the lymphatic endothelium, limiting cell invasion by pathogens or the harmful effects of cytokines. We have written about the importance of modulating the cytokine cascade in the “Practical Guide – Application of Herbal Therapies for Lyme Disease and Coinfections”. An important property of Salvia is the protective function of the Golgi apparatus of nerve cells. The Golgi apparatus is an organelle found in the cell that serves to chemically modify the substances produced by the cell, sort them and distribute them within the cell. The Golgi apparatus of nerve cells is damaged in the course of Lyme and tick-borne diseases. It is also damaged in neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. If the Golgi apparatus is damaged in the course of a tick- borne disease, symptoms similar to those of the above-mentioned neurological diseases can develop. Please note the great importance of Salvia in the context of tick-borne diseases. This herb should already be added as one of the primary herbs in the treatment of Lyme disease. If you have used the Buhner Protocol as a basic core therapy and you have increased neurological problems then you can increase the dose of Salvia by up to 2-3 times. This herb is safe to use. If you have been using herbs other than Buhner’s herbs as the core of therapy, and you have increased neurological symptoms, then think about introducing this herb as an adjunct to therapy.
