Dear Stephen,
My question is what can we do to try and deal with the cysts. I have them in many places and it is getting worse. I have Lyme cysts on my thyroid, several on my ovaries, one showed up on my mammogram and had an abormal pap, which I attribute to the Lyme cysts on my ovaries. So I am trying to treat babesia and lyme cysts before I go full force on fighting the lyme. Would like to share that I did the Neuro protocol this past fall and I had a normal CAT scan & the damage in my optic nerves is gone. Where two years ago, I had lesions all over my brain & was told the damage to my optic nerve would be permanent. Thank you for your work that is making us better. I am eternally grateful to you.
Stephen’s response:
I believe that the protocol will deal with the cysts if people do it for the full year. However, as with all things lyme, more will become clear as people with cysts use the protocol.
It should clear them over time and I have heard from a lot of people that they are fully well after the protocol. Since the Borrelia always do form cysts in all people, it seems to me that the protocol is clearing the cysts, which it should do.

Stephen Harrod Buhner was an Earth poet and an award-winning author of twenty-four books on nature, indigenous cultures, the environment, and herbal medicine including the acclaimed book Healing Lyme: Natural Healing & Prevention of Lyme Borreliosis & Its Co-infections.
Stephen came from a long line of healers including Leroy Burney, Surgeon General of the United States under Eisenhower and Kennedy, and Elizabeth Lusterheide, a midwife and herbalist who worked in rural Indiana in the early nineteenth century. The greatest influence on his work, however, was his great-grandfather C.G. Harrod who primarily used botanical medicines, also in rural Indiana, when he began his work as a physician in 1911.
Stephen’s work has appeared or been profiled in publications throughout North America and Europe including Common Boundary, Apotheosis, Shaman’s Drum, The New York Times, CNN, and Good Morning America. Stephen lectured yearly throughout the United States on herbal medicine, the sacredness of plants, the intelligence of Nature, and the states of mind necessary for successful habitation of Earth.
He was a tireless advocate for the reincorporation of the exploratory artist, independent scholar, amateur naturalist, and citizen scientist in American society – especially as a counterweight to the influence of corporate science and technology.

Hello, I am not sure if this site is still active?
I am wondering if Lyme and Babesia can cause cysts on/in multiple organs? I have them in-my brain (1, plus multi lesions)
lungs ( multi-bilateral plus calcified lesions ; never been a smoker)
Kidneys ( multi-bilateral)
Ovaries ( multi-bilateral)
Thyroid ( multi plus goiter)
Breast ( one)
I have over 65 severe symptoms and am bedridden on some days, I have been sick for over 25 years- I am 56 now.
If I had to choose 5 of the worst I would have to say severe chronic pain ( neuropathies, bone, muscle, and even burning skin pain, severe eye pain, stomach pain and severe organ pain – all of them, severe and chronic migraine,
severe dyspnea, severe insomnia, severe fatigue/flu like feelings, cognitive problems,
balance problems.
The list goes on and on and on.
My blood work is off yet my
doctors do not react.
Highly Elevated D-dimer then again on repeat.
Elevated fibrinogen.
Elevated WBC’s yet no fever, actually I have Wilson’s temp syndrome, my average temp is
96.9.
My BUN has been elevated for at least 6 years.
High albumin in CSF.
Banding in CSF and urine but “not the right ones” according to my neuro?
Thank you for allowing me to post the question.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I also have Afib and several other
arrhythmias, I have been on medication ( beta blocker) since the heart attack, but they are loosing their effectiveness-
The heart attack was around 25 years ago.
I believe this all to be related to the Lyme and Co.
I also forgot to mention that though I have been sick and slowly getting worse for over 20 years, I wasn’t THIS sick until about 8 years ago when I got bit by a Hobo soider.
It bit me 3 times on my arm, I apparently rolled over on it in bed ( I was taking prescription sleeping meds at that time) and crushed it as I found the body in the bed.
I was very sick ( stomach problems, migraines, weakness, flu like symptoms etc..)
for a month or so- had fang marks and a large necrotic wound the size of a baseball 3/4 deep.
To this day that exact area will suddenly burn severely and feel strange- tingling, not my neuropathy.
It’s like the spider bite reactivated
the Lyme/Babesia (or?) I had from childhood- of course my physicians look at me like I’m crazy or completely ignore me but I ABSOLUTELY became much sicker after those bites and have never been the same since.
I would just like your take on things please and thank you so much for considering answering my questions.
I am loosing my will to live, it’s actually been gone for some time as I am not living, I am existing.
If not for my grandchildren, my sons, and my mother- I wouldn’t be here; I also lost my husband 32 years ago.
If you have any suggestions for self treatment, I would appreciate it more than you could ever know.
Blessings to you
H Seairra,
No, this site is not active, as noted on our homepage. Stephen no longer answers questions here. It might be time to find a new doctor. I would find a lyme literate doctor in your area who is knowledgeable about the clinical symptoms of lyme disease and co-infections, as well as spider bites. Spider bites can be neurotoxic and it sounds like yours was. Don’t give up hope! Just find the right doctor who can guide you and treat you appropriately. Best, Julie
I have cysts popping up all over my wrists and hands. What do I do. I’m so tired of being in pain all the time.
Sierra, My Lyme reactivated after cancer. With Lyme if you introduce antibiotics or any healing the Lyme is smart and goes into hiding under a biofilm or in a cyst. When you have an autoimmune response to anything major (like a spider bite or in my case cancer) the cysts bust open and reinfect you. ‘Doctors’ are useless imo. You need an LLMD. All the ‘doctors’ told me I was nuts, but an LLMD got me out of a wheelchair, I was paralyzed. Without an LLMD who knows about cysts, biofilms, etc you will not get better. The info on biofilms has only been around a few years. Best of luck & don’t give up!
Hello Folks, I feel allot with you all and hope that I can give some advice that have helped me.
Besides the Buhner herbs what has helped me was a combination of:
– reduce or eliminate sugars/alcohol. I cannot express this enough.
– Cistus Incanus tea, boiled 2x with the LID on. The tea needs to cool down with the lid still on. Add “stevia powder” to the mix on the second boil. A small tbsp. should do the trick.
This really gave massive relief for certain complaints (fatigue, brainfog). It helped me with cysts but I feel the borrelia might adapt so its key to rotate with other herbs.
– RIFE Machine; biggest effect and fastest by far in eliminating some of my complaints including cysts. I have the “Spooky” machine and use it some days a week. It helped but in itself it might not be powerful enough to get a complete recovery. Still a usefull tool.
– Heavy metal chelation. Research the methods of A. Cuttler, there is a facebook group thats helpful. Its a slow progress.
– Vit B6, something to research if you have enough of it.
– Serapeptase; used by the butterfly to crawl out of its hard cocoon. It has properties against certain cysts. Worth a shot!
best of luck and lots of love. Stay strong!
