Can you advise something for neuropathy which is caused by lyme or some other tick-borne infection? Thank you so much.
Depends. Many neuropathies come from demyelinization or inflammation along the nerve caused by the bacteria. So we usually treat the inflammation and demyelinization after we determine which it is and what is causing it; that is one of the functions of knotweed root as is the collagen protocol which helps restore the sheaths. For symptomatic relief: pasque flower, coral root, cannabis usually.

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.
I have peripheral neuropathy, cranial nerve palsy (right eye), drop foot and calf muscle atrophy on left side, all Lyme-related. Started with cat’s claw and knotweed. When I added alpha lipoic acid and B Vitamins per the Collagenous Tissue Protocol in the book, the numbness in my feet, lower legs, and fingers began reducing within 3 days, was improved by 50% in 10 days, and continues getting better although at a slower pace now. I am using a product found on the internet that combines the ALA and B’s.
Cal muscle atrophy on left side sounds a lot like Bartonella.
JB can you reply as to the brand of the ALA with B’s and where you bought~~~thanks,Mary
Can u tell me what the name of the Ala/b formula is?
I have nerve damage after a few more tick bites I just crashed due to exhaustion. I have numbness and tingling in hands that radiates upward, just typing can be a pain. I also have lost the ability to run, and I sometimes walk like an intoxicated person. First symptoms were the physical exhaustion and the tap water felt very cold on my hands. I’ve been taking a host of B vits, and also trying “Limitless” by Evolve. Very expensive on the later.
Can I ask you what the product is on the internet? I have drop foot in both my feet and would appreciate anything at all
Thank you
Bill
ala will redistribute mercury, eventually leading to new disease and ugly agony. if it offers relief your symptoms are probably, at least in part, from mercury. it is a very dangerous supplement.
Can you tell me how to use of each daily
Thanks
