Dear Stephen, I am currently being treated by a great herbalist and am taking teasel root tincture. I’ve read that teasel root tincture does not work for everyone and I’m wondering if that might be the case for me.
Herbs
Is a low dose of cryptolepis effective?
Dear Stephen, I have been working up my dose of cryptolepsis for babesia. After 2 months I am only up to 8 drops twice a day. Is it helpful at killing babesia at such a comparatively low dose?
Alternative for Japanese knotweed
Dear Stephen, I found that the Japanese knotweed caused breast swelling and tenderness, so I stopped using it. Is there another herb you would recommend in its place?
Lyme and depression
Dear Stephen, What do you recomend for depression from lyme?
Finding an affordable eleuthero alternative
Dear Stephen, I’ve found Herb Pharm eleuthero tincture helpful but I find it is so expensive. What is your view on taking it in dry powdered form and how much would be equivalent to the Herb Pharm tincture?
Root canal and lyme
Dear Stephen, I’m worried the lyme spirochetes will hide inside dental cavitations and come back to haunt me. Can the spirochetes hide there? Do the herbs reach into dental cavitations?
Eleuthero for prevention
Dear Stephen, If astragalus is contraindicated in chronic lyme (which I’m sure I have), what alternative(s) are there for prevention in a lyme-endemic area?
Correct dosage for herbs sold in England
Dear Stephen, Being in England the herbs available to me do not have the same dosage as those you recommend. The resveratrol I have bought (Solgar), for each capsule, has root 200mg, reservatrol 100mg.
Problems with Source Naturals brand
Dear Stephen, I wanted to give some feedback since I have read online about many reactions to the resveratrol from Source Naturals. I had tried that brand with a disastrous reaction, but luckily I went ahead and tried Paradise herbs.
Hair loss
Dear Stephen, One of my remaining symptoms is hair loss. With the assumption that it’s an auto-immune reaction and my body is attacking the hair follicles, will Japanese knotweed help slow down this rapid hair loss?
