stephania root
Which stephania to use for Bell’s palsy?
Dear Stephen, Which stephania should I use for Bell’s palsy and lyme?
Stephania and beta blockers
Dear Stephen, In Healing Lyme you state that stephania is not recommended for people on beta blockers. Why? What would happen then?
Vertigo, candida, and classic MS symptoms
Dear Stephen, Since the onset of lyme, I have been experiencing very disturbing, constant internal motion, along with all of the classic symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
Stephania tetrandra tincture
Dear Stephen, I want to make a tincture from Stephania tetrandra (powdered) that was bought about 10 month ago. Can I use powdered herbs to make tinctures?
Resveratrol alternative
Dear Stephen, I have lyme, hep C, hemochromatosis, mycoplasma, and ehrlichia. Recent research shows that resveratrol would not be good for hepatitis C and silymarin can cause harm if you have hemochromatosis. What would you advise?
Delayed orthostatic hypotension
Dear Stephen, I have delayed orthostatic hypotension in which my blood vessels dilate when my body is in prolonged upright positions. Therefore I am afraid to use knotweed or stephania, since both herbs are supposed to dilate blood vessels.
Alternatives for Japanese knotweed
Dear Stephen, Even a small dose of Japanese knotweed results in nausea, cramping, and diarrhea. Can you recommend other herbs that may provide the same benefits of knotweed?
Stephania okay to take long term?
Dear Stephen, I have added stephania root as a tincure, 1/2 teaspoon 3 times a day for late stage neuroborreliosis. I can’t find anything in your book about how long one safely can use stephania or how long you recommend on this dosage.
Alternative for Japanese knotweed
Dear Stephen, I found that the Japanese knotweed caused breast swelling and tenderness, so I stopped using it. Is there another herb you would recommend in its place?
