Dear Stephen, On page 124 of Healing Lyme you recommend starting at 3,000 mg per day and working up to 16,000 mg per day, for active lyme infection. However this website now says 1,000 mg per day. Which is it?
Dear Stephen, I have chronic lyme and stopped taking astragalus every day after reading Healing Lyme. In a few days I went into a tail spin! Tried to go without it for a week with continued deterioration. Back on it now and feel great!
Dear Stephen, Would taking TA 65, which contains an astragolaside compound derived from astragalus membranaceus, be beneficial in chronic lyme?
Dear Stephen, I have been advised by an herbalist not to use astragalus as it seems that I am Th-1 dominant and that astragalus stimulates Th-1 activity.
Dear Stephen, I was diagnosed with lyme and I am terrified for my kids. I am unsure of what to do for them – I don’t want to make them sicker and I don’t want them to fight this disease all of their lives.
Dear Stephen, If astragalus is contraindicated in chronic lyme (which I’m sure I have), what alternative(s) are there for prevention in a lyme-endemic area?
Dear Stephen, I’d love to take astragalus for prevention, but you say not to take it if one has chronic lyme. Is this still true? And if so, why? What does it do that’s negative?
Dear Stephen, The last couple of days the pupil of my daughter’s left eye has not been dilating, and dimming ambient light does not make it move. Have you seen this before as a presentation of neuro-lyme?
Dear Stephen, I have “chronic lyme” plus many coinfections. The description in your book for astragalus seems to cover many of my symptoms. Is it never indicated in late stage?
Dear Stephen, You advise against astragalus for late-stage infection and up to now I have not taken it. At what point after treatment for late-stage lyme disease is it okay to take astragalus?
