Dear Stephen, I tried samento and banderol and I noticed that with this treatment my lymph nodes become swollen. I also tried cat’s claw and I feel some heat in the lungs and in the spinal cord. Are these reactions good or bad?

Red root and nattokinase okay together?

Treating co-infections first
Dear Stephen, Do you suggest also treating bartonella before lyme? Should I stop the core protocol and treat the co-infections first or add herbs for treating the bartonella and babesia to the core protocol?
Bartonella infection
Dear Stephen, I have recently been diagnosed with bartonella infections. I would appreciate your recommendations for attacking these critters.
Bartonella and babesia
Dear Stephen, I have the Fry Labs bartonella mystery bug and also Babesia duncani (Igenex) as well as candida and lyme and ehrlichia. Just wondered if cryptolepsis is still the herb of choice for this BLO.

Dear Stephen, In your research, have you come across any info on how red root affects the liver detoxification enzyme pathways?
Red root tincture or whole herb?
Dear Stephen, I think red root would be useful to me but you state that tinctures are not good in old cases, while dosages of this herb are only listed in tincture. What would you recommend?
Lyme protocol
Dear Stephen, If one is able to tolerate it, do you still recommend andrographis or are the potential risks greater than the potential benefits? Should these herbs be taken with or without food?
