Fasting while on protocol
Dear Stephen, Do you know of any dangers with fasting and taking the herbs for the lyme core protocol, plus eleuthero and red root – is there any danger of the herbs getting too concentrated in some organs?
Elecampane for babesia
Dear Stephen, I read that the Cowden protocol may be adding a mixture, including elecampane, for babesia. Elecampane grows terrifically in my garden. How can I prepare elecampane to take medicinally for babesia?
Oregano and rosemary
Dear Stephen, I’m wondering about the use of other antimicrobial herbs not included in your protocol, like oregano and rosemary. Are they contraindicated for long-term use, or just not effective in treating lyme?
Pulsing cryptolepis / toxicity of teasel
Dear Stephen, Should cryptolepis be pulsed? I am so grateful for the relief it is giving me from the babesia. I don’t want to stop and risk remission of symptoms.
Organic alfalfa
Dear Stephen, I just read your babesia/anemia article with great interest. Would organic alfalfa or Starwest regular alfalfa be more helpful?
Ejuva Intestinal Cleansing Program
Dear Stephen, Someone recommended the Ejuva Intestinal Cleansing Program herbs to me. Are you familiar with these products, do you find them safe and effective?
Diflucan for lyme?
Dear Stephen, What are your feelings on using Diflucan for chronic lyme, and for that matter, to treat systemic mold?
Core protocol and antibiotics longterm?
Dear Stephen, I would like to know whether you have any experience in having patients use your core protocol along with antibiotics long term. Are there any contraindications?
