Children’s doses for liquid astragalus and eleuthero

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Oct 28, 2011 | Children's Health News, Columns, dosage info, Healing Lyme, Lyme & Co-Infections, The Basics | 3 comments

Dear Stephen,
To prevent lyme for my 3, 6, and 9 yr olds, I have the Herb Pharm liquid astragalus and eleutherococcus. How many drops for each kid and how many per day? My husband has lyme – the kids are not yet tested – and my test results are not back yet. My husband is the only one with true symptoms right now. Thank you.

Stephen’s response:
Astragalus – 1/4 tsp 3x day for the young one, 1/3 tsp for the other two 3x day, just before school, at lunch, and at dinner or just after school, just before bed.

Eleuthero – 1/8 tsp young one, ¼ tsp other two, 2x day, am and lunch time- or just after school.

Stephen

Stephen Harrod Buhner

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.

what do you think of live blood analysis and darkfield microscopy. it looked like my two youngest and myself have live bacteria, we’ve had symptoms and my youngest tested positive western blot. im trying to figure out what to do. i am doing clean diet, grain and sugar free. my youngest is a heart patient ( 3 open heart surgeries) i just found another tick on my youngest today ( she was only outside 20 min and forgot tick spray). my youngest is taking amoxicillin 28 days (although its an older infection so i have no idea if it will help but my husband is concerned about her not taking it since her heart issues) shes taking probiotics, im giving her cats claw, samento, banderol, some things for parasites (black walnut, clove, wormwood) collodial silver. some vitamins and i just wonder if theres things a heart patient or 6 year old shouldn’t take??? i was just going to buy cowden whole protocol but i just ordered your books instead. please tell me where to start???

Dear Stephen,

Does Arteminisin really act as a ferritin Chelator ? I mean does it help reduce ferritin levels like how Curcumin does ?

Thanks
