Cryptolepis dose too low to be effective?

Dear Stephen,
I have been working up my dose of cryptolepsis for babesia. After two months I am only up to eight drops twice a day. Is it helpful at killing babesia at such a comparatively low dose? Will I need to get to the full dose in order to eradicate the parasite or will a smaller dose for longer accomplish the same thing? Thank you for your book, this column and the help you have given us all.

Stephen’s response:
My recommendation is generally a minimum of 1 tsp 2x daily so yes, unless you are highly responsive to the herb, I would guess the dose is too low.

Stephen
