Dear Stephen,
Would it be possible for you to give an update on which herbs to use for bartonella infection, as there is quite some difference and confusion between the information in your book and the questions answered on your website. In your book you do not stipulate whether the basic core protocol for lyme should also be used for bartonella. Then on your website you refer to a new bartonella protocol with sida acuta, but again it is not very clear if we need to use this together with this one from your book for bartonella. If indeed we need to take these protocols together, I would like to know what the experience and/or knowledge concerning safety about taking that huge amount of herbs, especially in light of past serious problems with taking Chinese herbs. Many thanks in advance for clarifying the confusion on which herbs are exactly needed, this will probably help us a lot.

Stephen’s response:
The bartonella protocol has been developing over time as it became clear how important it is to have a very focused treatment for it. There is in fact a book on bartonella and also mycoplasma that will be out next spring going into the whole thing in depth. The new bartonella protocol that has been placed on this site is the one that is most current and is what I recommend. The concern you have about Chinese herbs is in fact due to contaminants in some herbal shipments from dubious manufacturers. The company I recommend is as careful as they can be about making sure that is not a problem and I feel they have a lot of integrity in their work, which is why I recommend them.

Stephen, The protocol on the web page for Bartonella and in your brand new book which I just bought is not the same. Which one is the most current? Actually, they are not all that similar. There are quite a few more items in the new book, and dosages for some of the same items are different. The book also doesn’t provide any information for where to get these herbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated?
Hi Paul,
The info in the new book is the most up-to-date protocol. The website only shares an abbreviated protocol that was published prior to the book coming out. Have you tried using Google to locate the herbs? Best, Julie
Hi,
I also just purchased the Bartonella / Mycoplasma book and have bartonella. Just confirming that the book still is the most updated in terms of the protocol. Also, my only symptom of Bart is intense urinary frequency and discomfort. Should I add any herbs to the core protocol for these symptoms?
