Dear Stephen, I have had lyme for two and a half months. I took doxycycline for only 6 days. Should I take antibiotics again or would it be better to start your herbs immediately?
recent tick bites
Equivocal test results twice in otherwise healthy child
Dear Stephen, My son has been bitten many times by ticks and received one equivocal reaction and one ever so slightly positive reaction that the doctor feels is as good as equivocal.. Should we treat?
Four year old just bit
Dear Stephen, My 4 year old son was bit this summer and has been on amoxicillin 2 weeks….do I push for a full 30 days? Also, if I wanted to incorporate astragalus, Japanese knotweed, and cat’s claw…are all these 100% safe for a 4 year old?
Astragalus and cryptolepis
Dear Stephen, I found another deer tick on me 4 weeks ago. With my past history should I add astragalus and what is the adequate dose for cryptolepis?
Recently bitten – help!
Dear Stephen, This morning I found a tick crawling on my blanket and from the pictures, it looks like a male wood tick. What treatment do you suggest for me?
Meningoradiculitis (Bannwarth’s syndrome) and bitten again
Dear Stephen, In 2004 I suffered from severe meningoradiculitis along with seven others in my area. Was this lyme? I recently found a tick on me, how should I proceed now?
Herb protocol for early lyme
Dear Stephen, I was diagnosed with lyme disease about 6 weeks ago and just finished 6 weeks of antibiotics. Can you recommend the top 2 or 3 herbs to boost my immunity given my situation.
Protocol if lyme is detected early
Dear Stephen, If one has treated very early for lyme do you still recommend following your protocol for at least 60 days?
Re-Infection during protocol
I would highly recommend that, if you are not, you begin taking astragalus 1000 mg 3x daily. You are so newly infected that this herb is perfect for you. A new tick should not make much difference in any event (and really should not if you take astragalus) due to the herb presence in your body.
Eleuthero as preventive for small kids?
Dear Stephen, Your core protocol herbs cured my daughter last year of an acute borrelia infection in less than 2 months! Would it be okay for her to take eleuthero as a preventative for about 6-8 months a year?
