@Gingergrrl I also have a low bp, but took the chance anyway. So far no problems. I figure that I could easily monitor on my own and stop if there were any problems. If anything it has normalized a bit.

I kept her on the lomatium and the full protocol until 8-16-14, then I stopped the lomatium, and red root. We are taking a break for now from the lomatium, licorice, and isatis. I adjusted everything to fit within a three times a day dosing. We will likely restart some of this stuff later. I want her liver to have a break from the harsher stuff.
She is doing pretty well right now. Not a ton of energy or motivation, but overall pretty good. We are going to the coast for 5 days soon, so I will see how she does there.
The nurses try three cuffs because I should be dead, low. lol My suggestion would be to try it at a moderate dose and see if you get a herx reaction in the first week, while taking your bp a few times a day to make sure it doesn't get lower. If you don't herx the first week it probably isn't going to be effective anyway. From the few people I've talked to who have low bp and take OLE, bp seems to regulate their bp. It seems to do that for people with low and high bp. It is just that high bp is more common, so everyone talks about it lowering.
Hi Slicky, just want to let you know that essential oils used topically or ingested have also seemed to help lots of people with their infections. EOs are powerful though, so may produce a herx. Also have you looked into parasites? Many people with autistic kids (don't remember re PANDAS) have found clearing parasites helped a lot. Kelly Riveira has one protocol, also simon yu, klinghardt.
