Dear Stephen,
If one has treated very early for lyme do you still recommend following your protocol for at least 60 days? Four days after finding a tick and the bite, I developed a headache and stiff neck. Being familiar with tick bites (I live on Martha’s Vineyard) I started a lyme protocol the next day. I cannot take antibiotics due to prior severe candidiasis and chronic fatigue some 10 years ago (it’s probably as bad for me to take antibiotics as having lyme would be) so I began an alternative regime. I did not include cat’s claw or resveratrol as I did not have your book yet. Instead I used other remedies—Ledum 30C (3x a day), olive leaf extract, sarsparilla, colloidal silver, oregano oil, citracidal and vitamin C. I had sent the tick out for testing and yesterday it came back as positive for lyme. At that point I realized I’d better up the ante—got your book—and got cat’s claw and resveratrol.

After eight days my stiff neck is 90% gone and the headache is mostly gone though I do still have some “insect crawling” sensations in my head (just a metaphor for how it feels). If one has dealt with lyme early, albeit partially, and is improving—how long should one take your remedies? Still for 60 days?
Stephen’s response:
I would use them for 60 days, yes. And I would definitely add 1000-3000 mg of astragalus immediately for at least 60 days. Your response was a very good one and probably helped reduce the impact of the infection considerably. I would add a sublingual B-12 (follow dosage on bottle) for the crawling sensations.
