Lyme herbs lower blood pressure?

Dear Stephen,
Are there any lyme treatments that don’t lower the blood pressure? I am thinking about adding Japanese knotweed to my
protocol. According to your book there is one ingredient in knotweed that can possibly lower blood pressure.


Stephen’s response:
You can try it in a small dose slowly and see if it does lower blood pressure. That it CAN does not mean it will. If it does then try stephania which also CAN lower blood pressure, so try it in a small dose and check daily and see what happens. If it does as well, then the closest thing I can suggest is arabinogalactan powder. Not as good but it will help.

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.
