lyme antibiotics

• Antibiotics and hearing loss
  Dear Stephen, I have some mild hearing loss from lyme antibiotics and would like to start your protocol, but first want to know if any of the herbs could damage my hearing further.
• Transitioning from lyme antibiotics to herbs
  Dear Stephen, My daughter has had eighteen months of antibiotics and has made much progress but I am concerned about candida and food allergies that have recently developed.
• Wheat germ
  Dear Stephen, I have lyme and also mycoplasma and have recently started with your core protocol and am working my way up. Can I add wheat germ to the protocol?
• Weakening immunity with antibiotics
  Dear Stephen, Do you find it effective for people to pulse herbs/antibiotics if they're not able to wean off of antibiotics?
• Many symptoms, including mouth/eye
  Dear Stephen, I want to stop the antibiotics after 3 months and start taking resveratrol, cat's claw and andrographis. What else should I include in my treatment?
• Lyme protocol maintenance
  Dear Stephen, I've heard that it's recommended to stay on antibiotics until asymptomatic for 3 months, which I plan to do. How about with herbs?
• Cryptolepis during antibiotic treatment
  Dear Stephen, Would it be advisable to try cryptolepis to treat babesia during antibiotic treatment?
• Herbs concurrent with antibiotics advisable?
  Dear Stephen, I am just wondering if the protocol is intended to be used only after antibiotics are stopped, or if I can do so concurrently.
• Cryptolepis
  Dear Stephen, I've been treating Lyme for over a year now with antibiotics, and have made 85% progress. Can I take cryptolepis with antibiotics such as Ceftin? What about Flagyl?
• Questions on your protocol
  Dear Stephen, I've been fighting lyme for three to four years. What can I take to help deal with the cognitive issues with lyme? Also I have chronic candida, should I just try the tincture you mentioned?
• Core protocol after antibiotics?
  Dear Stephen, Should I assume that the protocol is for anyone who got Lymes, not just recent infections? If so, should I go on the full protocol or partial?
• Core protocol and antibiotics longterm?
  Dear Stephen, I would like to know whether you have any experience in having patients use your core protocol along with antibiotics long term. Are there any contraindications?
• Andrographis and antibiotics
  Dear Stephen, I understand andrographis contains calcium and calcium interferes with the absorption of Doxyclycline. Is it counterproductive to be taking both at the same time?
• Stephania tetrandra okay with antibiotics?
  Dear Stephen, Is it okay to take stephania and maybe all of the core protocol with cefalosporins and tinidazole?
• Bicillin L-A + core protocol
  Dear Stephen, I'm finally starting to feel a little better, so my thought is to continue Bicillin and your core protocol until I'm at least 2 months beyond symptom free. Do you see any problems with this idea?
• Antibiotics use and hospitals
  Dear Stephen, would you comment on the increased health risks posed, if any, to someone who enters a hospital after years of antibiotic treatment.
• Herb resistance
  Dear Stephen, Do you know if the critters develop resistance to the herbs like they do with antibiotics?
• Use of antibiotics with protocol
  Dear Stephen, is it advisable to use antibiotics for some period of time in addition to or prior to your protocol?
• Emotional symptoms
  Dear Stephen, When on antibiotics one particularly disturbing effect was an emotionally out of control feeling (despair, hopelessness, crying for hours). I get a milder version of this with your herbs.
