Helping herxes/rife
Dear Stephen, My question is what can be done for the relief of extremely intense herxing? Can this protocol be used in combination with rife machine therapy?
Oregon grape root
Dear Stephen, I have read that Oregon grape root is not to be taken long term. Some say no longer than a few weeks. Am I to be concerned with long term use?
Herbs concurrent with antibiotics advisable?
Dear Stephen, I am just wondering if the protocol is intended to be used only after antibiotics are stopped, or if I can do so concurrently.
Interstitial cystitis
Dear Stephen, Do you have experience with patients with interstitial cystitis – what herbs can they handle on your protocol?
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?
Andrographis and multiple sclerosis
Dear Stephen, The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database states andrographis (and cat’s claw) should not be taken if you have an autoimmune disease, such as MS. Can you please comment on this.
Lomatium long-term?
Dear Stephen, In your last post on Lomatium dissectum, you indicated that it might not be good to take it long-term. May I ask what harmful side-effects you are thinking of?
Chlamydia pneumonaie and porphyria
Dear Stephen, Have you worked with chlamydia pneumoniae, and do you know of herbal, nutritional or homeopathic treatments? Do you know anything about natural treatment for porphyria?
Vitamin B feeding lyme?
Dear Stephen, My doctor says vitamin B is the only thing I can’t take because the bug feeds off of B vitamins. In your book you recommend taking it though, because generally people with lyme are B vitamin deficient. Which is the case?
