The Basics
Ramp up time related to time on full protocol
Dear Stephen, If it takes many months to “ramp up” to the full doses of the core protocol, do you still have to stay a month on the 4-4-4 dose?
Andrographis and aspirin allergy
Dear Stephen, Are you aware of any relationship between aspirin allergy and andrographis, or for that matter any of the herbs in the protocol?
When to see improvement?
Dear Stephen, I don’t know for sure if I have lyme disease. I started your full protocol 10 weeks ago, but am not feeling any different. If I do have lyme disease, should I be seeing some improvement by now?
Samento with acid blocker?
Dear Stephen, I take antibiotics and Cowden herbs, as well as prilosic for acid reflux—is it ok to take samento, cumanda and quina with this?
Knotweed preparation
Dear Stephen, In a previously answered question in your column about “capsule vs. decoction,” you wrote to someone about using the whole herb or whole form, tinctures, and decoctions with regards to knotweed.
De-alcoholizing tinctures
Dear Stephen, Can I somehow cook away the alcohol in a tincture without effecting the herb strength? Can I also add sugar to taste?
Liver support/toxicity
Dear Stephen, Do you see liver problems with boneset? What herbs would you add for bartonella that are more gentle on the liver?
Teas/tinctures darkening my teeth
Dear Stephen, I’ve had trouble with some herbal teas/tinctures darkening my teeth since my enamel is thinning/gums are receding somewhat.
Wasting time and resources?
Dear Stephen, I started your herbal program at least a year ago and have only ramped up to 4 sarsaparilla 3x day and 2 resveratrol 3x day. Have I been wasting my time by not including the other herbs?
