Why does the brain fog come and go? I don’t want to go to sleep because I know it will be back shortly after I wake.
Recurrent brain fog can occur due to a number of things. Bacterial reductions and resurgences, immune upregulation and then adaptation by the bacteria to that upregulation, general fatigue from just living life which reduces energy reserves enough that the fog returns. It can be reversed, it just takes focused work. The expanded protocol in the new edition of Healing Lyme does have a number of suggestions for helping.

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.
For brain fog, two things might be helpful. Tincture of Lion’s Mane, a mushroom, and Lithium Orotate.
