Would you want to take this for three months?

After that last somewhat disappointing test I did some research of what to do next and consulted with both Dr. Bowen and Dr. Keller about the plan moving forward.  First off, no more weed.  Probably a good thing in the short and long term and while my sleep isn’t perfect I am getting about 8 hours a night now at least even if it takes me 9-9.5 hours in bed to get that.  I’m definitely having very wild LDN induced dreams and I’m still waking up and often having to read a bit or listen to an audio book in order to get back to sleep but I do go back to sleep and sleep in a bit more every day.

I decided to stick on herbals again and pretty much the same herbals since I know that I tolerate them.  I was debating on moving to the John Hopkins protocol but felt that the AlliMed and Neem worked before and they should work again plus they don’t seem to wipe out the entire gut microbiome lilke Oregano Oil can.  I did want to see if I could turbo boost these a bit so am adding back in Berberine Complex and a biofilm buster, Interfase.

I also want to address the B.hominis amoeba I’m dealing with and have the herbs for it in hand but have been ramping up the Berberine and Interfase first and want to get some clarity on this stuff before taking it.  The GAST-634 “Purge the Whorl” formula came with a Mr. Yuck poison sticker on the bottle and a somewhat scary warning about the Chinese Rhubarb which is one ingredient in the blend.   The thought of putting down low-doses of poison for 90-days is a bit unnerving so I’m checking back with the company that makes this stuff.

Ultimately here is the protocol I’ll be following:

I’ll do this for at least 60 days, probably 90 days though I may cut out the SIBO-specific herbs after 60 if the SIBO seems to be taken care of.
