Hello everyone I would like to introduce myself.

I am both a sufferer of lyme disease, and a manufacturer of the herbal supplements to help to eradicate it. I am wanting to be transparent that I am asking questions in this post for better products to have, but also I do hope to gain some interest in these products, as I already have many clients with Lyme getting relief with just the Japanese knotweed tincture.

My name is Michael, I have been foraging wild mushrooms and plants since 2016 and I live in Western PA.

As you can imagine with that crossover I have been bit by probably over 50 ticks, many embedded, and many have left nasty symptoms.

In 2021 I had been exposed to black mold and then began to have some severe symptoms that more resembled Lyme. So I got the standard ELISA test and (luckily) got a positive result for B. burgdorferi (sp.). So I had apparently had Lyme disease for some amount of time and then the mold exposure knocked down my immune system and the lyme symptoms came out.

Fast forward to now, I have been running my own mushroom and herbal extraction and foraging business, I harvest my own knotweed roots and many of the mushrooms I use for extraction.

I read Buhners book last year, the 2nd edition of Healing Lyme, and I have read other herbal books and listened to other herbalists about protocols and whatnot.

I have done a lot of research, and while I do not have limitless resources to create a massive suite of anti-lyme tinctures I decided I wanted to create a good core protocol for my clients.

Obviously starting with Japanese knotweed which has been my life blood for the last five years, but now getting into more anti-spirochital herbs and cytokine-remodulators.

Here is what I have decided and I am open to suggestions too:

(some of these repeat as I have them in buckets of categories)

Protecting endothelial structures:
Japanese knotweed

Hawthorn berries/leaves/stems

Cytokine remodulators:
Chinese Skullcap root (Scutellaria baicalensis)

Chaga fungus

Immune Remodulation:
Cordyceps militaris

Reishi, Ganoderma tsugae

Andrographis paniculata

Neural restoration:
Chinese cats claw (Uncaria rhynchophylla)

Lions mane, Hericium erinaceus

Amanita muscaria fully decarbed extract (GABA-A agonist)

Anti-spirochitals/anti leptospirosis:
Andrographis paniculata

Cryptolepis sanguinolenta

Japanese knotweed

Lyme carditis:
Hawthorn berry/leaf/stem

Topical localized pain (muscles, nerves, joints):

Amanita muscaria pine resin salve

Pantherina balm w/ lots of anti-inflammatory essential oils

I am open to suggestions but they gotta be really good ones, I just added like 4 things to my line up and still developing labels and SKUs and all that business.

Thanks for listening and taking the time to read it. I really enjoy this sub, thanks everyone.

New Amanita muscaria vendors getting flagged for BRAM violations — here's the one most people don't see coming.

Payment processors are running AI bots that complete actual purchases from countries where Amanita is illegal.

If your store processes that transaction, it's documented. You've got a violation on record before you ever talk to an underwriter.

This is why new-only applicants get denied at rates that feel random. It's not random. Blocking restricted countries at checkout isn't optional in this space — it's the baseline requirement.

Watch this before you apply.

***If you need payment processing, hit me up, once this ban is lifted I can get you set up with my agent.
