I'm getting better, I still don't know what my exact problems are but there is definitely something alive in my (bacterial pathogen like lyme or chlamydia pneumonia, mycoplasma) body and brain that is being killed off by The stuff pictured. At $4.25 per bottle it's a steal:

I'm assuming it's lyme because Cat's Claw seems to be the best herb for lyme. I don't doubt there is a mercury connection. I used to think Candida but perhaps the pathogen is lyme and not candida. Who knows, Cat's Claw is supposed to be effective against Candida as well.

I noticed almost immediately my GI got back to normal. Head was very clear starting at only 1 pill per day. My massive brain fog has gone. I believe the brain fog and most symptoms were due to ammonia and perhaps quinolic acid produced by the lyme.

The charcoal was pulling out the toxins, now that I'm killing what was causing the toxins I am doing much better and feel very good mind and body. The proper use of the binder (charcoal) is important as is liver support. I hope to do a proper write up of this soon.

I have a blog going at http://www.biohazardcfs.blogspot.com

I'm up to 3 capsules per day and not sure if/when to stop. It might be a year. I think one keeps raising dose until one no longer experiences a die-off herx. Every time I've upped I've gotten worse then next day, not so bad the day after and becoming better than before.

I have also herxed from taking 30 mg germanium (http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=207&at=0)
and N.A.C 600 mg. while taking the Cat's Claw. Seems a "pulse" of anything that might be anti-bacterial is causing herxing. I even found Betaine doing that. It helps the methylation (detox) cycle. I imagine B12, P5P and Folicin (or 5-L- Tetrahydrofolate [Folapro]) might cause substantial die off. Anything that increases oxygenation, like germanium, would also.

After ramping up on the Cat's Claw I will probably add Andrographis and Japanese Knotweed. I have taken these before but took too much and it wiped me out (liver and GI).

I think that ramping up slowly is the way to go and one MUST use a binder like Charcoal wisely to expedite the removal of the toxins.
