Hi Linkadge.
> I continue to experience improvement in my mood, anxiety and obsessiveness with CBD.
I haven't seen you this optimistic before. I hope you continue to make gains. You deserve it.
How is your appetite? Sleep?
Where are you at with the CBD/THC ratio?

I tried eating raw garlic for a few weeks in 1984. I was an exercise instructor at the time. The facility was a big building with racquetball courts. The whole building reeked of me. It didn't help with my depression, unfortunately. Is garlic an antibiotic? I really don't know. I imagine it drives the bacteria out of the body as they try to escape the smell. No Herxheimer reaction!

My sleep is ok. It's not perfect, but ok.
The greatest improvement is in the free floating, anxiety and mood.
I probably take 2-3x as much CBD as THC. The THC has more effect on anhedonia.
I'm no longer taking venlafaxine. I take lithium, and some mirtazapine.

This contains 400mg of total CBD. Many studies use higher doses, but I have found benefit from lower doses 10-20mg a day.
At the moment, CBD is pricy, but I am hoping that it comes down in price and/or moves to a synthetic prescription.

Here's what I know about garlic.
It is a powerful antimicrobial against a wide variety of gram positive bacteria, gram negative bacteria, viruses and yeast/fungus. You can surf the library of science or other scientific study sources and see long lists of microbes impacted by garlic.
The antimicrobial power is in the stink. Odorless garlic supplements claim to work but they don't. If you buy one and try it, you will feel absolutely nothing by the time you finish the bottle.
Dr.Zhang in NYC (a lyme and hepatitis doctor) makes a product called Allicin Capsule. That was my first experience. I took 2 capsules 3 times a day. Within one week I felt better than I had felt in a very long time. There was a long way to go. But the point is, one week in I felt more from garlic than I did from a backpack of medicines. The problem at the time was that I worked in a big box store and I was literally stinking up entire aisles or sections of the store and it stayed stinky for an hour after I was gone!
To metabolize the allicin correctly, raw garlic is supposed to be eaten toward the end of a meal, not the beginning. I don't know how to dose it. If it were me I would probably start with one or two cloves per day and then adjust from there after I see how it goes.
I don't know if there is some way to equate the amount of allicin in the Zhang Allicin Capsules to how much allicin is in a clove of garlic. Maybe.Dr. Zhang uses a variety of herbs against lyme and hepatitis but allicin/garlic is one of his primary first-line heavy hitters.
Bartonella is tough. There aren't any antibiotics specifically effective against it, though various combinations are. For example the combo Doxycylcine/Rifampin is known as a Bartonella cocktail. I am on that right now actually. Doxy 400mg per day - either 200mg bid or 400mg once. Rifampin 300mg bid.
Herbal treatment for bartonella is also tough - it requires cocktails and high doses and time. I'm not even sure total eradication is possible. The goal, however, is not total eradication. The goal is to simply reduce their population to low numbers so that you don't have symptoms - co-exist.
In the Healing Lyme book there are a variety of herbs used in combinations against bartonella. Combos of stuff such as japanese knotweed, houttunyia, Bacall Chinese skullcap, and others.
The most potent anti-Bartonella and anti-Babesia substance I have ever encountered is called C.S.A. Formula, available online only from a company called Woodland Essence. When I finish my antibiotics, I am going to chase them for a few months with CSA Formula just to make sure it's all mopped up.
From naturopaths or integrative M.D.s you can buy a product called A-Bart. My LLNP says she has had good success with it. I think CSA Formula is way better.
NOW brand makes a product called Garlic Oil which I have used and is potent. A serving is 3 capsules which is equivalent to 4500mg of whole clove garlic. Dosing is experimental from one person to the next. I have taken as much as 6 capsules 3 times a day. That gets pretty stinky. :-)
A side benefit is that any of these garlic approaches - or CSA formula - will knock out the common cold or flu really fast.

Hey Jaroen,
You'll have to do some math to figure out how much CBD is in each drop.
Figure out the how many mL are in one syringe (usally 1mL). Figure out how many drops are in one syringe (drop them back into the bottle).
Take Do 400 / volume of syringe / drops per syringe. That will give you how much CBD is in one drop.
My bottle is about 1mg per drop. I take something in the 10-20mg range (currently).

CBD can increase the level of some medications.
This could be good or bad depending on the drug.
If the blood pressure drug interacts, it might mean you can switch, it might also mean that a lower dose will work.

I take 100 mg zoloft
0.1 mg clonidine twice a day (which I'm planning to ween off of)That's about it. I may take 0.25 mg xanax at bedtime for sleep some nights but if I start CBD I would be taking any benzos.

I just ordered Aphria. It's a CBD oil with only 2% THC I'll let you know what happens. I'm tapering off Zoloft by the way it's doing nothing for me.

I am anxious on CBD and MSM. I am depressed on niacinamide. Does this mean i have toxins stored in my brain?

I have been using their products for some time now and am very positive with their service and product. And for dosage I could suggest to start with 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon and evening. At the beginning its best to take just 1 drop at a time.
