Dear Stephen, I am a 35 year old woman who was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disease at birth but have never properly been tested for it. Both my geneticist and my neurologist now strongly believe that I have been misdiagnosed with CMT.

Parasite or lyme infection after analingus
Dear Stephen, I am writing from India. I do not have a real diagnosis yet. My WBC count and my eosinophils went high about a year and a half ago. I had a sexual encounter involving analingus just before this.
Lyme underlying diabetes?
Dear Stephen, I had lyme 13 years ago, and got better after one and a half years. Three years ago I was diagnosed with type-1 diabetes. My current nutritionist thinks I still have lyme underlying this whole thing.
L-arginine contraindicated with lyme?
Dear Stephen, You recommend a fairly high dose of l-arginine when treating bartonella. However, I have also read of those with lyme having high amounts of ammonia, and taking l-arginine can exacerbate symptoms related to high ammonia. Your thoughts?
Bartonella protocol explained
Dear Stephen, I am currently on the Sida acuta/hawthorn/etc. protocol for bartonella. Can you please describe briefly what each herb does?
Maca root for adrenal support
Dear Stephen, Of all the adaptogens, I have encountered nothing as potent, immediate
and wide spectrum as maca root in adrenal issues.
Super babesia
Dear Stephen, After trying everything for years I am hoping to get rid of my European and American babesia (B. divergens and B. microti) with cryptolepis.
Burning sensation on face
Dear Stephen, Is there something I can take for a burning sensation that I get on my face? It lasts a few seconds, but sometimes it is more intense than others and more frequent.
Orange blossom water anti-spirochetal?
Dear Stephen, I am wondering if orange blossom water could be the next lyme treating herb? Every time I drank chamomile tea with orange blossom water, I felt immediately calm…and also, wobbly on my feet/feeling like I could keel over. Bartonella herx?
Carnivora (Venus Fly Trap)
Dear Stephen, I was reading on a blog about carnivora (Venus Fly Trap) and it was touted as promoting/supporting resistance to harmful invaders and providing powerful antioxidant support for heart and cell growth function.
