Chemotherapy drugs okay with Buhner protocol?

by | Oct 5, 2007 | Columns, Healing Lyme, interactions, The Basics | 0 comments

Dear Stephen,
My husband will be undergoing chemotherapy for colon cancer with the FOLFOX protocol (Oxaliplatin, 5-Fluorouracil, Leucovorin). He has been treating lyme with antibiotics, along with part of your protocol (resveratrol, sarsaparilla, andrographis, cat’s claw). Do you know if any of the herbs would adversely affect the efficacy of the chemotherapy? Any herbs you recommend to boost effectiveness? And, are any of these herbs blood thinners that would impact a surgical procedure (port-o-cath insertion)? With thanks, and much appreciation for all your work.


Stephen’s response:
I do mention in the book under the specific herbs which ones are not suitable to take during chemotherapy and surgery. Please refer to those particular chapters.

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.
