Wild-harvesting Japanese knotweed

Dear Stephen,
I just found that I have tons of Japanese knotweed at home. How can I use it – dosage, root only or root and stem (young ones or full grown)? Why didn’t you talk about Japanese knotweed in your book Herbal Antibiotics? Thanks for all of your knowledge.


Stephen’s response:
Use the root only, let it dry, powder it in a Vitamix or similar, encapsulate in O or OO capsules, take 2-4, 3-4x daily. Work up to the maximum dose as in the book. I didn’t talk about it in Herbal Antibiotics because it is not primarily an antibiotic herb.

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.
