Toxoplasma treatment

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Jul 13, 2012 | Co-Infections, Columns, Healing Lyme, parasite infections | 24 comments

Dear Stephen,
Is there any herbal treatment for toxoplasma that could be taken with the protocol, or is the protocol enough to treat that also? Thank you very much for your help.

Stephen’s response:
For toxoplasma:

• Isatis tincture (root or leaf) ¼ tsp 3x daily
• Chinese skullcap tincture ¼ tsp 3x daily
• Torilis japonica tincture ¼ tsp 3x daily (this is invasive in much of the US but you will have to find someone to make it up for you, not commercially available – it is the best single herb for the parasite)
• Sophora flavescens tincture ¼ tsp 3x daily (Five Flavors Herbs carries it)

Take all for 30-60 days. Yes, you can mix them. Yes, you can take them with all other things.

Stephen

Stephen Harrod Buhner

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.

Hello,
earlier this year I was diagnosed with ureaplasma urealyticum infection, in February I took Doxycycline antibiotics for a week, they helped just a little, then it all came back, in April my symptoms got a lot worse and I took the antibiotics for two weeks, it’s been a lot better again, but it’s back. I don’t want to take anymore antibiotics, is there a natural way to get rid of the bacteria ?
I live in London UK, and I have not been able to get some of the chinese herbs you recommend. I’ve been on high oregano oil doses, and it looks promising.
I’m changing my diet, I’m exercising, I just need an advice on which herbs or supplements I should take. I have a strong feeling I will get rid of it naturally.
Many thanks,
Ingrid

What part of the herb do you use to make the tincture of Torilis japonica, Japanese Hedge Parsley?

Thanks,
Inga

Ingred, 1 week on doxycycline is not enough to treat ureaplasma. You would need to take it for at least a month or more. Stephen has a great book out on healing mycoplasma infections. I got rid of the ureaplasma I had by following that. Good luck!
Kristen on February 11, 2015 at 1:10 pm

Stephen, I found someone who can harvest some Torilis Japonica in the spring and make tincture for me. She would like to know what part of the plant to use for the tincture. Can you please clarify what parts of the plant we should use? Thanks so much!

Hi

I have been diagnosed with ureaplasma via an online test after suffering from symptoms. My doctor dismisses that ureaplasma is a problem but agreed to a one week course of doxycycline. This initially treated my symptoms after a few days but then they came back. I would like to try and treat this naturally. Could you help, what book could I read? Ingrid did you manage to cure your ureaplasma? I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

Hi,
Doctors don’t know anything when it comes to ureaplasma. If doxy is not working there are 2 others that could. AZITHROMYCIN and ERYTHROMYCIN. I had both of these back to back and mine is gone. Doctors will also tell you that it can’t get inyo joints or chest but I’m living proof that it is true. I had chest pain for about 3 years before doctos diagnosed me. The only way I got diagnosed was when I fell pregnant. I subsequently miscarried.
The doctors will also tell you the bacteria lives quite normally in most people – bullshit!! Get rid of this bug as fast as you can.

Hi guys, last year I took moxifloxacin, very strong atb, for 10 days, cleared all for about 7-8 months, now it’s all back. I’m starting my research all over again.

Hi simone, what doses of the antibiotics did you use, ive tried erythromycin for 2 weeks and it did nothing. I am still trying to get rid of this ureaplasma and its ruining my quality of life. Ive also tried all herbal remedies and nothing is curing it. Help! Sarah

Krissy on August 13, 2016 at 3:46 pm

Sam, what was your regimen? I also have urea plasma and am feeling worse since I had an unnecessary bladder distention 11days ago. I found out the dr knew I had the bacteria and still operated. I really want to get rid of this and feel better. Thanks for your help
kristen on September 21, 2016 at 10:37 am

For those interested, I was able to confirm the parts of torilis japonica to use in a tincture are the aerial parts of the plant.
Darina on October 10, 2016 at 3:43 am

Which herbs helped you for ureaplasma? I cant find it.
Justin on March 23, 2017 at 3:12 pm

Hi Ingrid,

If you haven’t done so already, have a look into getting a Hulda Clark Zapper. Zappers are extremely effective at removing all bacteria, parasites, viruses etc.
Max on April 2, 2017 at 5:43 pm

Hi Kristen, have you managed to obtain torilis japonica tincture? I see lots of information on the web about this plant antiparasitic power but so far didn’t find anybody selling tinctures. Btw the tincture could be made at home – we just need the plant.
Meri on February 6, 2018 at 4:55 am

Crystal Tripp harvests and makes Torilis japonica and all the other Buhner herbs. Find her on FB in the Dis~Ease Solutions; Allow Nature To Ease Your Condition, Parasites And Lyme group.

Hi, did you get better with Cryptolepis of ureaplasma? I also was diagnosed with ureaplasma and was looking to Cryptolepis.
Yantong Chen on December 4, 2019 at 9:20 pm

Hi, I also have bladder tension and I think it was caused by ureaplasma. What did you do to solve it?
