Dear Stephen,
I have lyme, hep C, hemochromatosis, mycoplasma, and ehrlichia. Recent research shows that resveratrol would not be good for hepatitis C and silymarin can cause harm if you have hemochromatosis ( I have genetic iron overload). What would you advise? Thank you.


Stephen’s response:
You can try stephania as an alternative.
Stephen

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.

    Hi
    I had heard that silybum whole herb can be used to treat hemochromatosis as it has iron-chelating properties. See article below:

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3308202/

    I’d be interested to know about silymarin causing harm, what evidence is there?
