Dear Stephen,
Can oregano oil be taken together with cryptolepis and artemisinin?
Stephen’s response:
Sure.

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 don’t have lime decease. I have yeast (candida problem on my body), itches very badly at night and morning.
I have been taken 5 drops of oregano oil twice a day for 2 months. it helps.
should I be taken this long term ? Should I continue or change to some other herb?? What else ??
Thank you
Vicki I know it’s not an herbal but you might ask your naturopath or doctor about Nystatin. It’s extremely safe and it could help. They give it to babies with thrush.
For the benefit of future readers: among my Lyme complex ailments was an issue with Candida or other yeast/fungus overgrowth. I had good luck with oral Nystatin tablets along with Agrumax grapefruit seed extract, Para-A antiparasitic (wormwood, black walnut hull, olive leaf, clove, citrus seed, and fennel), along with a change in diet (paleo, no alcohol). That treatment worked and as of now it’s been a year and a half with no further yeast/fungus issues. Nystatin, Agrumax, diet change were about 2 months long, Para-A one month. Good luck!
Vicki Bate,
If you are still having this problem, try bee propolis extract. It is antifungal and effective against candida.
