From what I have read in studies, and my own experience, OLE regulates blood pressure, not necessarily just lower it. Mine has always been very low, but is almost in to the normal range after 6 months of OLE. It may be worth another look.My naturopath had me taking Monolaurin and Maitake Mushroom as natural anti virals. Have also taken oil of oregano in the past. I was advised against OLE (in my case) that it would lower my BP too much.
That is the definition of a herx. You may want to revisit it. I wrote a blog on OLE and in the list of links there is one about herx. It may be a helpful read for you. Good luck!I meant it made me feel so bad, I don't think it was a herx I think it just killed too many bacteria in one hit and the toxins were too much for my body to cope with. I didn't try it again so who knows? I love garlic, not sure it loves me but I do try to eat it regularly.

I think you can grow oregano indoors under a grow light.I forgot that oregano is available as a fresh spice as well as dried. Might try that.

Hi Dan,
I just got a recommendation today from a doctor, experienced in Lyme and co-infection treatments, to read books about antiviral herbs and treatment by Stephen Buhner.

@Slicky I am always so glad to hear about your daughter's improvements on the protocol that you are using. Has she continued to take the Lomatium this whole time, but now with a pulsing schedule?
perhaps those for gram positive bacteria may trigger EBV?I heard that anitibiotics make mono (EBV desease) worse.
This is maybe the one cause of CFS.
