Dear Stephen,
I have a positive PCR for lyme and am currently being treated with antibiotics and herbs. All my tests for co-infections were negative from Igenex. Some of my most bothersome symptoms are pressure in the back of my head, balance problems and crackling and pressure in both ears. Do these symptoms sound more like babesia than lyme? I am taking artemisia, 1 capsule 3 times a day but am not seeing much improvement in those symptoms.

Stephen’s response:
There is an extensive symptom list in the new lyme book, that is the first place to check.

Dear Stephen Buhner,
I have read your books from cover to cover and cannot find any herb that is a potent lyme killer, without, like cat’s claw and Japanese knotwood, also interfering with the warfarin I take. I also have severe afib which is a problem with some herbs. The lyme is killing me.
Dear Stephen,
I have 5 of your books and found them extremely thorough and helpful.
I started your core protocol 2 months ago and I can feel things are improving.
I was told that beside Lyme and confections I have mold and heavy metals.
Are there any herbs that you recommend for treating these or the core protocol will take care of them?
Thank so much for all your work and concerns about people’s well being.
With great appreciation and best wishes,
Natasa

You cannot rely on any one person to give you the answers.
You have to keep researching and becoming your own doctor.
Listen to your intuition, God will guide you, just ask for your next need
and you will receive an answer.
I’ve gone through more practitioners than I can count.
I’ve been searching for 24 years. I have used homeopathic,
Young Living essential oils, chinese herbs, acupuncture.
I kept asking God to show me the next person with an answer.
I didn’t quit. You don’t quit either.
God Bless You.
Hi Stephen,
I tested positive for Lyme on IGENEX on the IGG Western Blott. And positive on the Multiplex B Burgdorferi. Unlike everybody else, I didn’t have a rash, brain fog, flu like symptoms, or joint pain. I’ve had SEVERE NIGHT TIME NERVE ITCH and tingling, buzzing, tickling,creepy crawleys in my body. I am on IV ROCEPHIN now for two weeks. 1) Could I use your protocol with my antibiotic? I feel like I don’t have LYME because I don’t have the common symptoms and the test said it isn’t active but my symptoms are very active. 2) Have you ever heard of anyone with LYME who only has neurological issues like mine? 3) What do you suggest? I had mono a few years back and got a shingles vaccine while Iw as getting over it. That’s when my issues started…
Hi Stephen,
Thank GOD for your book and your being there. I was on two rounds of doxy last fall and all the symptoms came back including loss of mobility in both my knees and lower limbs and terrible pain in shoulder
as well as loss of cognition; then my right eye. I got on your protocol slowly four weeks ago and am now this week up to full blast on all the herbs but the Stephania which is new this week. I am 100% improving and cannot believe the wonderful response. I also added a colloidal silver machine to my regime with low amounts of very fine cs AND the use of electroids that I used from Hilda Clarkes regime to heal from cancer years ago and kill parasites. I have to say by multiple prong approach centered around your protocol is spendid and I am so so thankful for your book and the excellent results combining these approaches. I did not want to do antibiotics again as I am a cancer survivor and my immune system took a terrible hit from chemo years ago so supporting my immune system in all regards has been imperative. I am taking your protocol now 4 times a day 3 caps each and this does has made an effective difference this week. I will stay on this concentrate 60 days as suggested in your book as I am tolerating well.
God bless you many times for helping so many peopl.e
I suggest using colloidal silver in addition to Stephens approach of what you can tolerate. It is not in Stephen’s approach but very fine particles in a small amount each day do not interfer with any prescriptions and can be tolerated very well. Buying the CS machine makes a huge difference when you can generate your own for much less than the health food store brands. I have used CS for many many years personally and with my pets horses and dogs with excellent results; it is excreted within 3 day and if you take selenium and vit E with it it helps the body to pass it through.
Hi Doris,
That is wonderful to hear – so happy you are seeing results so soon! Thank you for writing in and letting us know. Best, Julie (admin of site)
Mary, I agree 100%. That’s a great attitude that takes you a long way on your path no matter what you’re searching for or working on.
I went to the energique herbal website and was unable to find the product you mentioned(Energique HP). Would there, perhaps, be another name or the name of the individual herb/herbs that are the components of this product?
I would appreciate information about this formula.
Thanks!
Emily,
I found a testimony elsewhere last week where a child had similar symptoms to you .. bugs crawling sensation.
Here’s one I just found using google

Good luck
As to the mold and heavy metals, I frankly perceive this is a “latest” finding trend in the naturopath camp. I saw no affect on me whatsoever, and felt like I’d wasted money on a “trend” path. Just my FYI, but I tend to have one eye squinched anytime I’m being “sold” something.
Hi Stephen. I tested positive for Lyme with Igenex in December. I did three months of antibiotics. Which did not really help me except my brain fog seems better. My symptoms are anxiety, depression, muscle pain especially in my neck and head burning. I am a stutterer and I have been stuttering worse. I was doing the vital fx herbals. I had my liver enzymes checked in routine bloodwork and they were high. I stopped taking the herbal protocol and they are normal now. I’m a little afraid to go back to them. Can you give me some recommendations to your protocol for my symptoms.
Hi Lisa Ann,
The Q & A is no longer accepting new questions (we are currently publishing Stephen’s responses to questions submitted earlier this year) but I would suggest you start the Core Protocol as outlined in the second edition of Healing Lyme (see http://astore.amazon.com/healinglyme-20/detail/0970869649) and then add in any additional herbs based on your symptom profile. Start with low doses and slowly work up to the full dosage recommendation, if you are able. I would check the materia medica (found in the Healing Lyme book) of each herb you take to make sure there are no contraindications for the liver, and continue to monitor your liver enzyme levels. Best, Julie
That is so true Doris! I’m using coloidal silver for many years for my lyme and also for my animals and make it myself with the CS machine! I also use a zapper from Dr Hulda Clark !
Hi,recently diagnosed with Lyme and babesia (IgG index 1.29 with a positive range indicating 0.90-1.10)
My fuctional practitioner has me on doxycycline twice a day at 100mg with Pinella brain and nerve cleanse and Parsley detox. I wqs informed my immune system will most likely fight this off since all my blood test came back that Im healthy. My vitamin D levels are low and iodine slightly. On a supplement for D and eating seaweed for the iodine.
I wanted to add to my chance of a full recovery bc I would like to start a family soon.
I was looking at your CSA Formula Liquid Extract and thinking of adding to my regiment. Along with eating no meat and dairy free and making chlorella coconut elixirs. Is there anything else i could do to strengthen my chance of a full recovery?
Also with the CSA extract – what is the dosage? 5’7 145 lbs.
Thank you ??
Hi Micki,
I have the similar problems you list except I am now on eloquis instead of warfarin. I was wondering if you have found an answer since you posted two years ago. I am tempted to try the cats claw and Japanese knotweed at very low dosage and very gradually work higher.
