Just a side note, if you eventually can only afford one - take the Lumbrokinase but the three are the best and work together with other herbs and vitamins you are taking. God bless, Jenna Hi Adrian -

I'm currently in my first week and trying both Lumbrokinase (Doctors Best Brand) and Nattokinase+. I was wondering - when using different enzymes, can I take them both at the same time or should I take them separately in order to avoid absorption issues? I'm also currently using Samento as an natural antibiotic. Many thanks Adrian Hi

I can't imagine moving with the fatigue and weakness, I hope you have good help! Thanks for letting me know how much you take of this. I am not sure how long I have had lyme, could be 30+ yrs, I grew up in CT and lived my 18th summer in a pasture with my horse. Ended up at the end of the summer in the hospital with high fever and complete exhaustion, weakness to the point of being unable to stand and swollen liver. That was 1975. They never figured out what was wrong with me and I got "better", but my entire adult life have had weird unexplainable ailments, until this last year when I totally crashed and was diagnosed with MS. Have also lived in KY, VA, ME, FL and MO, and gotten tick bites in all those places! So I might just have a huge mix of cross cultural infection! Thank God for Igenex, that finally gave us a double positive, following at least 12 tests that were negative from CDC labs. Anyway, sorry for rambling, and be blessed!

Anyways, to answer your question (in case I haven't already) I take one Lumbrokinase and one - two Nanno+ 3 times a day depending upon my finances - I'm sure you know how that goes! Hope you're feeling better - remember, it takes time for the biofilms to dissolve and then the herxing will come so be prepared to feel really bad at some point and then take 2 Sarsaparilla 3 times a day. It is the best supplement for herxing! Blessings, Jenna Hi Mary -

I ordered the Nattokinase + because it seemed cheaper in the end than to order it separate from the Serrap. Thanks Jenna, how much do you take of each, if I may ask?

I must say it's killing us how much my being "sick" is costing. My lyme dr does not take insurance, and it's several hundred dollars a month. i keep hoping I'll get to the point I don't need to go every month. Then you add all the supplements. And being unable to work. So saving money in any way with this helps alot! Jenna I love your website, it is one of the few I frequently refer to.

At least two patients have felt more improvement with Lumbrokinase, although Nattokinase appears to have a longer half life. They have been taking 4 Nattokinase 100 mg capsules or 4 Lumbrokinase capsules daily. We are increasing one of our Babesia patients to 6 Lumbrokinase capsules daily after rechecking his Prothrombin time, PAI-1, INR, fibrinogen and plasminogen. Many of our migraine and fibromyalgia patients also have elevated fibrinogen, or thrombin-antithrombin. One migraine patient also had elevated platelets, in addition to high fibrinogen. We gave up trying to refer these patients to hematologists, after hematologists looked at their elevated fibrinogens, fast clotting times, high Lp(a),elevated Factor V or C3a/C4a and denied a need for anticoagulation. Seems hematologists are not interested, unless cancer or aplastic anemia are involved. You can easily lose a month of anticoagulation benefit while you wait for a hematology appointment. A stroke or cardiac could also occur, while anticoagulation is stalled, waiting for a hematologist appointment.

I must admit that there are times when I can't afford the best brands...and that is just for now. I am in the Medicare donut hole (I'm not sure if you know the term but once Medicare has pays a certain amount, then you are liable for a big chunk of copay before the insurance kicks in again.) I am sorry to say that this illness has really crushed me and I am slowly recovering (FINALLY!) If you have any more questions, please don't hesitste to email - my Lyme fog still overcomes me...at time... Thanks again for your comment, and please be well. Blessing, Jenna Smith Hi Mary -
