Dear Stephen, I’ve been looking at taking cryptolepis for babesia for a 2 week period at the recommended dose of 1 tsp tid. Do you think that it might take a stronger dose to get it?
babesia
Is a shorter course of artemisinin enough?
Dear Stephen, I was taking artemisinin for babesia but in the last week my anxiety and low mood got unbearable and I started to get other neuro effects such as distorted visual perception.
Elecampane for babesia
Dear Stephen, I read that the Cowden protocol may be adding a mixture, including elecampane, for babesia. Elecampane grows terrifically in my garden. How can I prepare elecampane to take medicinally for babesia?
Pulsing cryptolepis / toxicity of teasel
Dear Stephen, Should cryptolepis be pulsed? I am so grateful for the relief it is giving me from the babesia. I don’t want to stop and risk remission of symptoms.
Anemia / poor circulation
Dear Stephen, Is there anything more I can be doing to aid my circulation in the event of fewer red blood cells because of babesia, or to increase my red blood cell production?
Testosterone
Dear Stephen, How can I increase my testosterone levels naturally? Also, why is my immune system not seeing the bartonella and babesia infections?
Artesunate vs. artemisinin
Dear Stephen, Have you heard of artesunate, and if so, what do you think of it? I’ve heard it’s up to 4x more active in the body than artemisinin.
Low ferritin and artemisinin
Dear Stephen, I have heard that low ferritin levels prohibit a person from effectively utilizing artemisinin in the body.
Bad reaction to artemisinin
Dear Stephen, I have lyme disease and tried artemisinin and had a bad reaction. What do I do now and why did this happen?
Staying on your protocol
Dear Stephen, I am usually pretty good at staying on the regimen but once every month or two I take a break for a couple of days. I have had a few bad relapses due to this, and am concerned that the herbs only work while they are being taken.
