Neuropathy caused by tick-born infection

Dear Stephen,
Can you advise something for neuropathy which is caused by lyme or some other tick-borne infection? Thank you so much.
Stephen’s response:
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.

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 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.

    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.

    Thank you

    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.
