Dear Stephen, I am now symptom-free after antibiotics, but I feel that it is wise to use your protocol. My question is how long would you recommend I use the protocol and should I use all recommended herbs?

Lyme endemic area
Dear Stephen, I live in a tick infested area and cannot really avoid getting bitten at least once from March – November. No matter what I do.
Astragalus and auto-immune
Dear Stephen, I have been advised by an herbalist not to use astragalus as it seems that I am Th-1 dominant and that astragalus stimulates Th-1 activity.
Astragalus as preventative for kids
Dear Stephen, I was diagnosed with lyme and I am terrified for my kids. I am unsure of what to do for them – I don’t want to make them sicker and I don’t want them to fight this disease all of their lives.
Eleuthero for prevention
Dear Stephen, If astragalus is contraindicated in chronic lyme (which I’m sure I have), what alternative(s) are there for prevention in a lyme-endemic area?
Using astragalus
Dear Stephen, I understand that astralagus can act as a preventive against tick embedding. Can I take it and if so what brand do you recommend and what dosage? Thank you.
Preventing lyme transmission through body fluids
Dear Stephen, Our 21 year old son was diagnosed last month with chronic lyme. Is there any herb to keep his future wife from getting infected?
Prevention protocol effectiveness
Dear Stephen, I am wondering about real life examples of the effectiveness of the prevention protocols for both the astragalus and the cat’s claw/ andrographis/ homeopathic borrellia nosode protocols.
Prevention protocol
Dear Stephen, I am from MN, where we have a large number of ticks and would like to follow your herbal protocol to prevent or lessen the impacts of Lyme-disease infection.
Prevention and bull’s eye rash
Dear Stephen, Could your lyme preventive protocol reduce the likelihood of getting a bull’s-eye rash? If a person has gotten the lyme rash in the past, are they more likely to get it again if infected?
