Dear Stephen,
I understand the adult dose for cryptolepis is 1 tsp 3x day. Can you please tell me what the dose is for a 50ish lb 7 year old? Also, how long after babesia symptoms are gone, should one continue to take the herb? Thank you very much


Stephen’s response:
Answer: 1/3 of that. I would take the herb for 30-90 days maximum.

    Harvey, Please see https://buhnerhealinglyme.com/herbs/protocol-for-4-yr-old/ for children’s dosage: “Normally dosages for children are the child’s weight (in pounds) divided by 150. With tablets or capsules you just break them open and divide as best you can for partial dosing.” So for a 30 pound child, the dose is 1/5 whatever is recommended for an adult.
