Dear Stephen, I was really disappointed today when I read in your book that andrographis can inhibit progesterone. I’m a male with osteoporosis.

Herb Reactions
Japanese knotweed and hot flashes
Dear Stephen, I’ve tried both the Source Natural resveratrol and Plum Flowers Hu Zhang and both give me sleep disabling hot flashes. Is that because of their phytoestrogens knocking my stronger estrogens off?
Intolerance to knotweed
Dear Stephen, My question now is about knotweed. I could take it for a few months last year in low doses but recently developed a clear reaction to it.
Andrographis / order of herbs
Dear Stephen, Within less than an hour of taking the first dose of andrographis, I felt more nervous than I have ever felt in my life.
Andrographis allergic reaction
Dear Stephen, I wanted to report to you another allergic reaction to andrographis – I had a sudden attack of hives that gradually worsened until my whole body was bright red with huge white welts that were extremely hot and itchy.
Emotional symptoms
Dear Stephen, When on antibiotics one particularly disturbing effect was an emotionally out of control feeling (despair, hopelessness, crying for hours). I get a milder version of this with your herbs.
Bad reaction to artemisinin
Dear Stephen, I have lyme disease and tried artemisinin and had a bad reaction. What do I do now and why did this happen?
High liver enzymes
Dear Stephen, I am having a problem with high liver enzymes. I am on the Core Protocol. I have heard a warning about cat’s claw being a problem with the liver.
Red root and hypercoagulation
Dear Stephen, Red root encourages blood clotting—and most lymies actually need blood thinners. What do you think about this?
Low blood pressure
Dear Stephen, Can andrographis make your blood pressure TOO low? My normal BP is 90 over 60.
