Dear Stephen,
Can you let me know what dose you are suggesting for Sida acuta for babesia and suggested treatment time? Can this herb also be taken with cryptolepsis?


Stephen’s response:
I suggest a blend of the two (or with the addition of Alchornea cordifolia) ¼-1/2 tsp 3x daily. You could as well do ¼ tsp of each tincture 3x daily.
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.

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.

    I have had an acute form of Babesia since January and tried everything. I am now on your combo crypto.sida.alchornea. I had taken cypto for six weeks before and the symptoms diminshed but did not go altogether. I am also taking Byron White. How long can I be on the crypto combo? Many thanks.

    Can’t email question on this site so I thought I would try this.
    My wife has a rare skin cancer, t-cell fungal somthing.
    It’s in her skin now and is spreading vary slow.
    I read in your book about sida and cryptolepis and have bought it.
    I don’t know what to do. Buhner’s book was vary good but I would have to read 10 more times to understand all that it has to offer.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks much

    In cancer, propolis helps. I bought it for other purposes (lime treatment), and I do tincture. How do I take I do not know. How to make a tincture:
    30 grams of propolis frozen grate and pour 120 grams (ml) of 70% alcohol. In a dark bottle put in a cool dark place and store 10 days, shaking the morning and evening. Then take drops.
    Dose, check with your doctor. Tincture can be sold in a pharmacy.
    Propolis good fights with the propagation of cancer, sometimes even helps destroy disease or small pockets of her. I wish your wife’s recovery.
