Dear Stephen,
I was diagnosed with lyme disease 2 years ago by an alternative therapies doctor having spent the previous 5 years up and down at my local G.P. who didn’t seem to have a clue what was going on. I took a course of antibiotics (about 3 weeks) and was advised that I was cured albeit that my symptoms seemed to worsen. I am 100% certain that I still have this disease. But having had such a bad time with the antibiotics, I have decided to take a holistic approach. I’ve read your book with interest and Matthew Wood’s book as well. I am currently being treated by a great herbalist and am taking teasel root tincture. In the last week and a half, I’ve increased the dose from 1 drop 3x daily to now 10 drops 3x daily and can’t really see a great effect and haven’t herxed at all. I’ve read that teasel root tincture does not work for everyone and I’m wondering if that might be the case for me or whether it is too soon to tell. My symptoms are predominantly inflammation in the pelvic area and especially my pelvic bone with pain in my abdomen. I was originally bitten on the top of the leg and the inflammation seemed to travel from there to my pelvic area. I’ve also experienced problems with my periods lessening and shock-like pains in my head and neck. When I took the antibiotics I also experienced a lot of hair loss and extreme pain in my head but this seems to have lessened in the last 2 years. I’m from Scotland so unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a lot of information on this disease or a lot of lyme literate doctors. Any assistance or advice would be much appreciated.

Stephen’s response:
I would urge you to try both Japanese knotweed and stephania as well as cat’s claw. Teasel root does generally help with arthritic inflammations; it sometimes helps those with the disease itself though from my experience this is pretty hit and miss. Some people do respond to low dose teasel tincture, many do not. I generally start people off at the 3 drop dosage but if after a week there is no improvement I up the dose and continue to do so for a month or so. My preferred dosages for most herbs are high and I think that up to 1 tsp of teasel 3x daily is fine for most people and often the higher dose is necessary. You might also have GI tract lyme in which case I would highly suggest the use of grapefruit seed extract for a week or two to see how you respond while at the same time taking something like Pepto Bismol as the lyme spirochetes are very sensitive to bismuth.

Hi there:
You need the Teasel at least 10 drops x 2 a day; Cat Claw POA only, Monolauren strong dose to kill, and Serrapase plus Nakitinase emzymes to eat the toxins and strip bio films. Cardio to detox and no carbs. http://www.inspirednutrition Monolauren and Biofibrin are very good.
I am only in the 2nd week of taking this cure, but already I am jogging! After only 2-3 days my energy levels came right back up. This is the actual remedy:
Regional Tincture of Brandenburg – Fuller’s Teasel Tincture from the Root of teasel – 100%, 200 ml
You can buy it on Amazon.de or from their website:
https://www.kasimirlieselotte.de/de/
You can read about this here: https://www.facebook.com/KasimirundLieselotte/
This is an honest recommendation, I am not connected with the producers in any way.
Good health everyone
Well I do believe that the reason why teasel root works for some and not for all is you will never cure Lyme disease if your good bacteria is not right in your stomach. Think that’s why it works for some and not for all. Not having the correct amount of good bacteria in your stomach is just like saying well I put gas in a car it didn’t have oil but the car stopped working don’t know why. Teasel root works you have to find the amount that works best for you. I also found out with treating Lyme disease oxygen concentrator works well while holding CBD oil in your mouth. I believe my was cured from getting my stomach right then taking teasel root then putting myself on oxygen at the same time taking in the CBD oil. How teasel root works it pulls the Lyme bacteria out of hiding the oxygen concentrator will boost your immune system the CBD oil kills the Lyme bacteria . Went from chronic Lyme to a normal life….. I do also believe teasel root gets weaker as it ages
I too have suffered Lyme for many years. I did, catsclaw, teasel,and many other protocols. I found a cure finally!!?research Jim Humble Lyme protocols, everybody wins. Tbis natural medicine has been hidden from humanity. It cures malaria, lyme, arthritis &much more.
Stacey Sweeney, could you Facebook Message me about the protocol you did from Jim Humble? I am suffering beyond belief from this horrid infection. Thank you.
On my goodness I have been having this issues for a few years now I have finally found a doctor who has put me on this track thank God for this Doctor!!!!! He’s a rare one!!!!! I have every classic symptom of this disease and on a severe level! I am willing to try anything to get rid of this and get my life back!!!! I can’t really fiqure out what exactly to start with except the teasel root but honestly I’m scared of I’ve read so many things to do! Is it just trial and error??????? Is there a book I need to get? Went to herb man and he recommended a detox with the teasel root! It comes with 4 tinctures of various herbs mixed in 1 bottle totaling 4 bottles and 5 is vitamins!!!! At this point I’m willing to try anything I am crippled in massive pain sight effected as well as my ears and head rings continuous just fiqured this was the reason yesterday when reading stuff!!! Lightbulb has went off read to fight this any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
Terresa, you may want to try the Dr Rawls Lyme Protocol; he is a real doctor that had chronic lyme for 5 yrs, with nearly every symptom, like you, and after antibiotics failed him, he discovered the Buhner herb recommendations. Now self-cured, and has put all the most effective herbs into one easy to use “kit”. I can send you a referral code for a discount, or just go to his site at https://vitalplan.com/about
Megan – it’s been a year, but if you have not gotten treatment, recommend you do treat the heart issue ASAP! Also read the Dr Rawls book, Unlocking Lyme.
Herbs in general are safe enough to take even if you do NOT truly have Lyme. Better safe than dead with no treatment!

Stacey, please contact me as to where to get Jim Humbles stuff please. swenluv7@yahoo.com
Hi Stacey. I’ve been really ill on and off for over 30 years after getting a bite in Zimbabwe. I was given a 4 day course of antibiotics by a hopeless Doctor which did nothing. Hundreds of blood tests, approx 40 doctors and physicians, 3 Neurosurgeons, 5 MRI scans, Spine taps later, Ive got nowhere and my symptoms have slowly worsened over the years. My joint and muscle pains, neck stiffness, dizziness and tremors are really bad, chronic fatigue is permanent and the scary neurological issues got a lot worse (swallowing and speech issues). I went on a long course of antibiotics 10 years ago and started improving after 8 months, but as soon as I had a major relapse, I abandoned the regime (big mistake). I’m now at a point where I feel like I’m slowly dying and barely able to even walk, dress myself or stand for long and am going to try herbs as a last resort. Are you completely healed from chronic Lymes after going on herbs.?? I am keen to know about your Lymes journey and complete healing on herbs. Best regards. Derek in Johannesburg.
This is a lie. MMS is bleach, it is highly poisonous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement
Mary Beth, There is an MMS protocol by Mel of I cured Morgellons site. He recommends using it differently from Jim Humble.
Terence and Readers, please do your research, MMS is not a poison. http://www.health-science-spirit.com/MMS.html
I have been sick for over 30 years collapsed in 2012. I just learned about teasel. I am sleeping most of the day . Muscle pain is so deep my bones hurt. Could you send me info on the Bob protocol?
Hi Ben,
I have just read your blog on Stephen Bruhners
Website. I hope you are well now! I’m inquiring if you are still using collidal silver and teasel to treat your Lyme? Or.. did it Eradicate this terrible disease.. I have suffered terribly for years.. I’m still fighting the fight. Please share an update!
Or anything that helped you. It would be very much appreciated.
Have you looked at mold?
I’ve got it down quite a lot using Samento TOA-free,garlic, ginseng,echinacea,blood-cleaning tinctures [Bulgarian]etc…but I have a feeling that saunas [infra-red or normal]and Teasel are probably the way to go. Dr. Douwes does this in Germany, and charges a small forune for the privelege, but he uses antibiotics to attack the “woozy” parasites.Antibiotics didn’t help me, and I felt bad on them, so I would suggest the natural way.I’m due for another ELISA test, and if the IGM is there then I go on the offensive! Noni with Samento in the morning,sauna and teasel in the evening! And…exercises to stimulate the immune system [look up Youtube]
Just be careful with this protocol. One of the herbs caused me to completely lose my taste. You do not eat much when your food tastes like cardboard. When I lost down to a size 0, I had to stop.
Hi Jenny,
It would be helpful to know which herb affected you that way. Was it andrographis? There has always been a warning that this herb can cause loss of taste or a rash in some people. Your taste should return once you stop the herb. It might take a while, but should return to normal.
However Pepto Bismol can cause deafness with repeated use, as it says on the package. My own mother went quite deaf with it and a good friend was doing Teitlebaum’s protocol and started going deaf when she read the package. I would like to do more but am now very leary….But thanks so much for all your good ideas.
Yes, it was andrographis. This went on for months and my weight loss was critical. I did not want to stop the protocol because of other benefits I was experiencing, but I had to. My taste eventually came back and I have gained 10 lbs. which was needed. This herb was mixed in with other herbs so I even tried to take it out and take the others individually, but could not make it work.
Hello Stacey. I am responding to you as I saw your reply on the Buhnerhealinglyme.com site. You had mentioned Jim Humble, but I can’t seem to find him on google that brings me to his protocol. Do you have a web site for him? thank you. gael.
We are doing herbs and mms still herxing a lot with everything , my husband is strong and k led to power over it as it’s a good sign. I Wanted to see how you are doing 2 years after post ? And if your doing some sort of maintenance with it .
Hi karen wondering how you are doing we are doing this protocol and wanted to see outcome ?
MMS is NOT bleach. This is the only defense the Pharmaceutical Industry have in making people fear using MMS therapy. It does work, I’ve used it and will say it kills Lyme like nothing else if you can tolerate the smell and taste. If you can’t then there is another version that you can use. It’s thought that the repulsiveness is in some way relate to the Lyme infection and the bugs. You know the food they love is the food you crave. Go to youtube and do a search for G2voice Broadcast. You will have a long list of videos to choose from and more information in each one. Genesis 2 Church, a church for healing, not religious.
It’s a laughing stock that the opposition calls MMS as if it’s bleach when the government approved it use a long time ago for food usage. A lot of uninformed people. Think, research, don’t take my word for it or the people that knowing spread lies.
Hi:
I’m looking for detox info and wondered what was your regimen? Which green drink did you use? Any info will be helpful as I am in the battle of my life like others desperately trying to regain their health. Thank you.
Research it more than the surface propaganda. Why are so many testimonials taken offline? The answer is Big ass don’t cure, don’t care, go for the profit from keeping people sick and tired, PHARMA.
It is not Clorox bleach- for years it has been used to purify water. Propaganda is major ‘fake news’!
Please explain
Hello if you see this can you tell me more about what you did for stomach ? And what oxygen u speak of and cbd that actually works? Maybe can email?
Hi! Just wanted to comment, how wonderful to see action on this website even only today, may 30, 2020. I feel like a “veteran” of Lyme, now having had it for twenty years: trying so many different treatment, some worked, some not so much. Now to my dismay looks like my child got it in utero so I am back to the drawing board. But I am shocked that only little knowledge has changed in 20 years! And still it is barely accepted by mainstream docs. So just saying hi! Please do stay in touch for your journey ahead.
How long do you take teasel root for? Two weeks?
Hi – Just wanted to mention that Google and other big tech sites have banned many many health practitioners, so that they don’t get any traffic to their sites. They are using algorithms that filter out many functional medicine terms and anyone discussing vaccines and other controversial topics.
Try using an alternative search engine, I use DuckDuckGo, one that doesn’t use tracking. I’m not sure what I think about Humble, but I found him right away. jimhumble.org
Jim Humble was found to be a quack. Research this scam.
Sounds like ivermectin!!
