with Stephen Harrod Buhner, master herbalist
Hi, I have Lyme Disease and am eager to start the herbal protocol. I did take antibiotics for six months but I know I have not eradicated all of the lyme with such a short course. I would like to try the herbal protocol but I am very worried about taking Resveratrol. I can not take even one sip of red wine or eat red grapes without suffering with a severe migraine. Will the Resveratrol do the same thing? Thank you
Stephen’s response:
The resveratrol I recommend is ONLY recommended because it is in fact primarily Japanese knotweed root NOT resveratrol. Source Naturals resveratrol is Japanese knotweed root standardized to contain a certain percentage of resveratrol. Red wine resveratrol is useless in lyme (comparitively speaking). The substances in red wine that cause migraines are not, to my knowledge, in knotweed at all.
