I just noticed your question. Banderol and Samento are both part of the Cowden protocol, but there is no reason why they cannot be used by themselves without following the entire protocol. They are in a liquid form and a specific number of drops are added to 4 ounces of water, which you drink after it has sat for a minute or more, 30 minutes before a meal. Treatment begins with only one or two drops twice a day, increasingy the amount as tolerated. From my experience people very widely in their reactions. Some experience massive die offs with only a couple of drops while some take the full dose of 30 drops. I take the full doses.They can be used alone or in addition to antibiotics.

You can buy the products, made by Nutramedix from several places but I provided a link to a company with very reasonable prices and fast service.

Dr Bonnie Bassler and her team http://sites.google.com/site/basslerlab/v have done some marvelous research on bacterial Quorum communication. Here is a great video from her talk at TED where she described the concept of inter and intra bacterial communication. If you are familiar with the biofilm problem in both Lyme and CFS/ME, you will see the importance of her work.
