Dear Stephen, I was taking artemisinin for babesia but in the last week my anxiety and low mood got unbearable and I started to get other neuro effects such as distorted visual perception.

Herb Reactions
Resveratrol gave me vertigo
Dear Stephen, On knotweed I felt fab after a day or so, and then TERRIBLY dizzy for days until I stopped it. I started out slow. Now what? I have no life.
High blood pressure from herbs
Dear Stephen, I started your Lyme Protocol a little over a week ago. I started with the andrographis…I was then on the cat’s claw for 2 days when I noticed my blood pressure spiked to 139/85.
Sarsaparilla and blood sugar
Dear Stephen, I started taking the basic protocol herbs last week but soon developed bad hypoglycemic symptoms every morning on waking and throughout the day. Is it okay to do the protocol without sarsaparilla?
Strange (good) reaction to andrographis
Dear Stephen, An hour after my first dose of andrographis I had the most amazing reaction: I felt GREAT. I’m normally pessimistic, anxious and introverted; I suddenly became positive, relaxed and chatty.
Pregnenolone
Dear Stephen, does pregnenolone act similarly to cortisone or prednisone – that is, does it have an immune-response suppressant action? Could you describe a bit more how it works in the body?
Plant estrogens
Dear Stephen, I am extremely sensitive to plant hormones or precusors, which makes certain herbs and essential oils impossible for me. I worry about resveratrol therefore. Will knotweed have a similar effect?
Women’s issues
Dear Stephen, Are there any hormonal changes or other side effects of the herbs in your protocol that might affect women’s menstrual cycle, breast tenderness, menopause, fertility, or sexuality?
What’s with our spots and sore mouths?
Dear Stephen, After several weeks on your protocol both my husband and I developed spots all over our bodies, especially the chest and lower leg fronts. Then came painful welts in our mouths, and sore lips, making it difficult to eat and drink…
Reaction to low dose andrographis
Dear Stephen, I started andrographis this week and had a rather severe emotional reaction: depression, irritability, and insomnia.
