Dear Stephen, I have lyme/bartonella and have been on many antibiotic protocols. Some things have improved but the one area that I can’t seem to cure is in my teeth/nose area.
Herbs
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?
