Dear Stephen, I know there are other people that have this issue and that I am not crazy, but it seems like I have forgotten how to breathe. Have you heard of this and is it solvable?
heart/lung
Stephania and beta blockers
Dear Stephen, I am currently on a beta blocker, which you say is contraindicated with stephania. The blocker allows me to sleep more soundly without heart palpitations, so I am afraid to stop it. Any thoughts?
Sarsaparilla maximum upper dosage
Dear Stephen, Is there a maximum dosage for smilax? I’ve worked up to 10 grams a day in a decoction and would like to go higher.
Carditis and warm/cool herbs
Dear Stephen, I noticed that stephania, houttuynia, and artemesia are all “cool” or “cold” herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory. Can you recommend good warming herbs to combine them with?
Treating other stealth infections with herbs
Dear Stephen, I would be very interested to know if you have any experience of treating infections particularly mycoplasma and chlamydia pneumonia with herbs?
Lyme carditis
Dear Stephen, You say stephania root is contraindicated in lyme carditis, but elsewhere in that chapter of Healing Lyme it says you’ve found it effective in treating arrhythmia, angina and myocardial infarction.
