Fasting while on protocol

by | Jul 3, 2008 | Columns, fasting, Healing Lyme, miscellaneous | 0 comments

Dear Stephen,
Do you know of any dangers with fasting and taking the herbs for the lyme core protocol, plus eleuthero and red root? I fasted for one day on it and had quite a headache at the end of the day which is somewhat unusual on a one day fast. On doxycycline antibiotics fasting was impossible for me—I had to eat. Is there any danger of the herbs getting too concentrated in some organs? Best to you.


Stephen’s response:
If you are going to fast on the protocol I would suggest lowering the dose and taking the herbs in tincture form in a tea for ease of digestion. If you drink caffeine, fasting will produce a headache that will come on anytime between one day and three. It is unpleasant. I suggest working down to no caffeine if you do use it before fasting.

This protocol was incredible. After only a few weeks most of my symptoms were gone. After six months all my symptoms were gone… it has given me my life back.
