Dear Stephen, Do you think it is necessary to rotate herbs so the organism does not develop a resistance to what you are using?
The Basics
Wild-harvesting Japanese knotweed
Dear Stephen, I just found that I have tons of Japanese knotweed at home. How can I use it – dosage, root only or root and stem (young ones or full grown)?
Biopure tincture dosages
Dear Stephen, I was given andrographis and Japanese knotweed as Biopure tinctures from my doctor before I was aware of “Healing Lyme.” I was wondering if you could provide a number of drops to be taken per day.
Encapsulating Japanese knotweed
Dear Stephen, I have decided to encapsulate the Japanese knotweed myself…if I already have “0” caps, how many of these would be comparable to the recommended “00” dosage?
Herbalist in Fairfield, CT
Dear Stephen, I would like to find an herbalist to work with, using your protocol, in the Fairfield, CT area. My daughter is struggling with lyme disease.
Do you have to herx for the protocol to work?
Dear Stephen, Does everyone have to have herxheimer reactions as a sign that bacteria is dying and treatment is working? If you don’t react, does it mean what you’re doing isn’t working?
Almost symptom free – what next?
Dear Stephen, I’ve been on antibiotics and your core protocol for nine months and am now almost symptom-free. How long do you think one should continue these herbs?
Hearing issues
Dear Stephen, I can feel sensations in my ears- slight transient pains, congestion, stronger tinnitus…any recommendations?
Weakening immunity with antibiotics
Dear Stephen, Do you find it effective for people to pulse herbs/antibiotics if they’re not able to wean off of antibiotics?
Astragalus and cryptolepis
Dear Stephen, I found another deer tick on me 4 weeks ago. With my past history should I add astragalus and what is the adequate dose for cryptolepis?
