Reacting to turmeric
Dear Stephen, I discovered that I become quite sick if I take turmeric. The response is not immediate, but more like 12-48 hours after taking the turmeric. I become very weak and sick and feel toxic all over.
Red root and nattokinase okay together?

Dear Stephen, I’d love to take astragalus for prevention, but you say not to take it if one has chronic lyme. Is this still true? And if so, why? What does it do that’s negative?
