Protocol Guidelines

from Wm. Lee Cowden MD using Nutramedix Products

DOSING

The dosages recommended in the following protocols are for an average size adult that weighs between 120-170 pounds (55-77 kilos). Adjust the dosage according to weight; ie. a patient that weighs 30 pounds would take one-fourth of the recommended dose.

Shake the liquid products well before each use. To ensure the proper dosage, dispense drops by holding the dropper at a 45 degree angle. Mix the liquid products, of each dose, together in a glass, porcelain or paper cup (not Styrofoam, plastic or metal) then add at least 4 oz. (120ml) of water. Do not use distilled, sparkling, or reverse osmosis water. Let sit for at least 1 minute before drinking (longer is fine - up to 2 days). The products are most effective when taken in water. The products can be taken directly in the mouth without water, but this should only be done when water is not available.

HYDRATION

Adult patients are urged to drink 2-3 liters or quarts of water per day (proportionately less for children based on weight). Drinking 2-3 ounces (60-90ml) of pure drinking water every 10-15 minutes during all waking hours causes most of the water to go into the cells, hydrate the cells, mobilize toxins out of the cells and ultimately mobilize toxins out of the body (mostly through urine & feces). Drinking large quantities of water even a few times per day does not efficiently hydrate the body nor does it mobilize toxins out of the body.

Black tea, green tea, coffee, sodas & alcoholic drinks are not hydrating. Vegetable and some fruitjuices (lemon & lime) are hydrating. While most herbal teas are hydrating, when too much sugar isadded to herbal teas, they can be dehydrating rather than hydrating; therefore, the best choice ofsweeteners for herbal teas would be Nutramedix STEVIA.

STRESS AND DIET

Patients are urged to practice stress reduction techniques (deep-breathing while visualizing with all 5 sense a relaxing vacation spot) for 4 minutes before each meal and before each bedtime. Patients should be in bed resting (whether they fall asleep or not) in a pitch-dark bedroom with minimal electro-magnetic pollution, from 11pm to 6 or 7am each night.

Patients are urged to eat more raw, organic foods that are NOT genetically-modified and to avoid sugars, excessive starches, processed foods and fried foods.  Avoid all known food allergies. If you are unaware of any food allergies you may have, we recommend avoiding all common food allergens – all cow milk and cow cheese products, all wheat products, all corn products (corn oil, corn starch, and corn syrup), peanuts and peanut oil (most oriental foods), soy products (it is a common filler in fast food restaurants), black pepper, white pepper, sugar (may substitute Nutramedix STEVIA), canola oil and hydrogenated oils. Patients who avoid these foods usually improve much faster.

HERXHEIMER REACTION (HEALING CRISIS)

If a Herxheimer reaction is suspected (feeling worse in any way than you were before) take 20 drops ofBURBUR-PINELLA in 2 oz. (60 ml) of clean water every 10 minutes for up to 2 hours and then resume the program. The easiest way to do this is add 4 droppers full of BURBUR-PINELLA to a bottle of water and sip it over a two hour period, repeating it as many times as necessary until feeling better. If the symptoms still exist by the time of the next scheduled dose of antimicrobial products then skip that one dose. If this happens more than once then consider increasing the dosage every 1 - 2 days instead of every dose.
