Dear Stephen, I just started resveratrol (half a pill of the one you recommend in the book) and am having TMJ swelling feelings. Do you see an intensified symptom picture with resveratrol?
Herb Reactions
Diarrhea from protocol
Dear Stephen, My husband has been using your protocol for about 6 weeks and is now on the full dose regimen. He has had pretty bad diarrhea the entire time. Do you have any suggestions?
Stephania causing constipation
Dear Stephen, I have one problem with using stephania root tincture that I hope you might have a suggestion for – even a small dose of stephania causes constipation.
Do you have to herx for the protocol to work?
Dear Stephen, Does everyone have to have herxheimer reactions as a sign that bacteria is dying and treatment is working? If you don’t react, does it mean what you’re doing isn’t working?
Hair loss on protocol
Dear Stephen, Last November we started on andrographis and built that up to the 4-4x a day. Since doing that, I have not been able to taste food and my beard which was always very thick developed holes.
Inflammation caused by lyme
Dear Stephen, How do we get better from lyme when all the inflammation pathways are shut down with knotweed – are we essentially starving the buggers by not having them feed on the destruction of the inflammation process?
Will my sense of taste ever return?
Dear Stephen, I lost my sense of taste being on the core protocol, stopped everything a week after no taste, and am now off of the protocol for about two weeks but still no sense of taste.
Ginger root caused herx
Dear Stephen, I recently ate some fresh ginger root that seasoned a Chinese dish I had and had a strong herx afterwards.
Severe diarrhea
Dear Stephen, My wife recently started your protocol and has encountered severe diarrhea, and would like your advice on how to stop it. Thanks in advance for your help.
Core protocol causes insomnia?
Dear Stephen, I have been doing the core protocol for about 4 weeks now and have noticed that since starting the program, sleep has become increasingly difficult.
