The Basics

Lyme protocol

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Dec 11, 2009

Dear Stephen, If one is able to tolerate it, do you still recommend andrographis or are the potential risks greater than the potential benefits? Should these herbs be taken with or without food?

Hypersensitivity to herbs

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Dec 6, 2009

Dear Stephen, How does on proceed if one is hypersensitive? I am hypersensitive to most “chemical” medications I have taken and many herbals.

Clarifications on protocol

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Nov 15, 2009

Dear Stephen, I have several questions on your protocol: Can the full dosages be maintained beyond 2 months and until the infections are completely eradicated?

Healing lyme?

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Nov 7, 2009

Dear Stephen, Can you HEAL lyme with your protocol or does it just suppress symptoms? I have read of people becoming symptomatic again after stopping your protocol.

Mixing prima una de gato and artemisinin

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Oct 14, 2009

Dear Stephen, Could you advise if it is okay to take prima una de gato liquid and artemisinin at the same time (about 2 hours apart) for lyme?

Dear Stephen, I’ve been fighting lyme for three to four years. What can I take to help deal with the cognitive issues with lyme? Also I have chronic candida, should I just try the tincture you mentioned?

Herbalists in northern CA

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Sep 29, 2009

Dear Stephen, On July 8, 2007, you wrote “I know few people in Northern California and up from there, but no one near San Diego.” Are there now more practitioners using your protocol in that area?

Aloe juice and lyme herbs

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Aug 1, 2009

Dear Stephen, I question whether all the aloe juice I have to drink with every meal due to my acid reflux will interfere with your herbal protocol. If I don’t drink the aloe I can’t swallow the pills…

Core herbs dosing

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Jul 21, 2009

Dear Stephen, Can I really shift to a maintenance dose after two months and still get a good effect, or should I proceed symptomatically, i.e., only lowering the dose after die-off symptoms subside?

Core protocol for everyone, or only recent infections?

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Jul 9, 2009

Dear Stephen, should I assume that the protocol is for anyone who got lyme, not just recent infections? If so, should I go on the full protocol or partial?
