herbalists in Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina
Dear Stephen, Are you aware of any herbalists with your philosophy in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina?
Root canals and lyme
Dear Stephen, What is your opinion about having to remove any teeth that have had root canals to fully recover from lyme?
Treating neuro symptoms
Dear Stephen, I have severe brain numbness (24/7), failing and blurry vision with floaters, a host of emotional issues, chronic fatigue, migraines, etc. To date there has been no change in my condition.
Persistent lyme arthritis in 3 year old
Dear Stephen, Do you have any specific recomendations for a young child with persistent lyme arthritis (knee, elbow, foot/ankle and toe)?
Can lyme be transmitted from dirty water?
Dear Stephen, My illness started about 6 weeks after I was accidentally submerged in the dirty water of a harbor full of fishing boats and yachts. Is it likely that I could have picked up lyme from that source?
WBC counts keep dropping
Dear Stephen, Before I started your protocol my WBC was 2.7. My labs just came back on my WBC at 2.2, my neutrophils are 0.7. My doctor got so concerned that she referred me to a hematologist. Are there any herbs I can take to increase my WBC?
Treating EBV and mitochondria damage
Dear Stephen, I was told resveratrol is very helpful in preventing replication of the EBV virus – would Japanese knotweed give the same benefits for EBV as resveratrol?
Vitamin D supplementation, Marshall protocol
Dear Stephen, I want to share my story with you to bring to your attention a real case study when vitamin D made a lyme patient worse, not better.
Anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications contraindicated?
Dear Stephen, I am on Lexapro and also take Ativan as needed (depression and anxiety likely due to lyme). Are there any herbs in the book/protocol that are not okay with these medications?
