Cryptolepis = antibiotics?

by | Aug 31, 2016 | Columns, Healing Lyme, Herb Reactions, other, sensitivity | 2 comments

Dear Stephen,
I am very allergic to all antibiotics. Especially levaquin, cephalosporins and sulfur drugs. As well as all erythromycin and penicillin drugs. I can not even be in the same room with someone who has taken levaquin – within an hour or I get hives and shortness of breath. Is cryptolepis the same as levaquin and cipro? My LLMD prescribed it to me and I am concerned I will react to it. Will a person with known allergies to these antibiotics be safe using herbal antibiotics? I have to have them administered in ICU under desensitization. Thanks for any advice you can offer me.


Stephen’s response:
Cryptolepis is not similar to any of those drugs. Nevertheless, start with a few drops to see how you respond.

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.

    Hi Mr. Buhner, thanks for your remarkably organized and easy to understand book, Healing Lyme. I have Lyme, Bartonella, Burella and something in my gut my naturopath has not yet identified. I’ve been infected for 45 years. Now I have Lyme carditis block, so I’m a pretty sick girl. What has your experience been in treating this? I’ve been in treatment for over a year for Lyme and co-infections. At first I began to improve and got better (my kidneys stopped failing) but then I began to decline, and now the carditis block. I’d appreciate any thoughts you might have.

    I hope you are better! Stephen. Buhner is no longer replying here. Your situation is why this Lyme Treatment debacle must change. Prayers for you to find healp and healing!
