Dear Stephen, Are there any hormonal changes or other side effects of the herbs in your protocol that might affect women’s menstrual cycle, breast tenderness, menopause, fertility, or sexuality?
Herbs
Reaction to low dose andrographis
Dear Stephen, I started andrographis this week and had a rather severe emotional reaction: depression, irritability, and insomnia.
Getting pregnant with lyme
Dear Stephen, I would like to know if you would suggest a maintenance protocol during pregnancy, I mean, herbs that would not harm the fetus but keep borrelia under control.
Herbs for tick-borne encephalitis (TBE)
Dear Stephen, I would like to ask about any good anti-viral herb ‘specific’ against tick-born encephalitis (TBE).
Sarsaparilla with leaky gut dangerous?
Dear Stephen, If one has leaky gut, will saponin-containing sarsaparilla proteins enter the bloodstream and cause havoc?
Blood in semen
Dear Stephen, My question is about the likelihood of lyme being transmitted sexually and specifically if that would manifest itself as bloody semen.
Andrographis inhibiting progesterone
Dear Stephen, I was really disappointed today when I read in your book that andrographis can inhibit progesterone. I’m a male with osteoporosis.
Herbs for muscle relaxation?
Dear Stephen, Do you recommend lobelia for muscle relaxation?
Inflammation Control (stephania extract)
Dear Stephen, Stephania tetrandra extract in Inflammation Control (IC) is the first herb I started on your protocol last August. It has helped tremendously with my joint and tendon pain.
Japanese knotweed and hot flashes
Dear Stephen, I’ve tried both the Source Natural resveratrol and Plum Flowers Hu Zhang and both give me sleep disabling hot flashes. Is that because of their phytoestrogens knocking my stronger estrogens off?
