Higher dose for babesia?

Dear Stephen,
I’ve been looking at taking cryptolepis for babesia for a 2 week period at the recommended dose of 1 tsp tid. I’ve talked to a number of people that have had good results with it, but none have been successful at getting rid of babesia. No one has used it at the higher dose that I know of, but I am still concerned that it wouldn’t be strong enough to get rid of it. I know the original study used a tea of 2.5 grams that was probably stronger than the 1 tsp of tincture. The study wasn’t for babesia however, so that could be the reason also. Do you think that it might take a stronger dose to get it? Also I would like to combine crypto with allicin and maybe Artemisia annua tea, or possible Dr. Zhang’s Art…..maybe all 3 together for 2 weeks. Would there be any concern in that? Thanks.


Stephen’s response:
I have heard from a number of people who have cleared babesia with cryptolepis. You might talk with Kate Gilday at www.woodlandessence.com as she is keeping in touch with those who are using the herb more closely than I am. You can go up to 1 tablespoon 2x daily if you wish with cryptolepis.

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.
