Simmering extracts in combination

by | Jun 15, 2009 | Columns, Healing Lyme, The Basics, when/how to take | 0 comments

Dear Stephen,
I’m currently on the core protocol, plus stephania, 1 cap 3x a day, working up. I’m also beginning cryptolepis. I’m simmering 1/4 teaspoon x 3 in some water, and drinking it three times a day. I’m including red root in this simmered mix, but wondering if it is okay to combine the red root tincture with the cryptolepis tincture (from Woodland Essence) this way. Is it?
I would also like to try including burbur and parsley tincture (from Nutramedix), and perhaps enula, in the same mix with the crypto and red root, to drink 3 times a day (I need to get rid of the alcohol, and the simmering is what you suggested for that).
Are all these things compatible to be mixed together? The three mentioned extracts from Nutramedix are compatible with each other according to them. Are they also compatible with the crypto and red root, all together? I’m also taking eleuthero, but separately, just once early in the day. Thanks so much for everything.


Stephen’s response:
Yes, you can mix these together.
Stephen

    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.

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.
