Dear Stephen, I recently tested very low on a test for macular degeneration which checks pigmentation on the retina. I scored a 14/100. (Over 35 is good, 30 is low normal.) Can lyme cause this?
Healing Lyme
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?
Where do I start?
Dear Stephen, I have a lot of infections – lyme, bartonella, babesia, mycoplasma, hhv-6 and ebv. Should I do something broad-spectrum or is there an infection I should focus on first?
Wheat germ causing a herx?
Dear Stephen, I have lyme and babesia. Is it possible that wheat germ could make me herx? I made some whole wheat and wheat germ pancakes this morning, and later I started herxing.
Rotating lyme herbs
Dear Stephen, Do you think it is necessary to rotate herbs so the organism does not develop a resistance to what you are using?
Treating mycoplasma naturally
Dear Stephen, I am allergic to gluten so using wheat germ to combat mycoplasma is not an option for me. Do you have any other suggestions for dealing with mycoplasma infections?
Astragalus – never indicated for late stage lyme?

Where to buy chaparro amargosa tincture?
Dear Stephen, I got cryptosporidium over a year ago in Bangkok and have been unable to get rid of it. I have heard that tincture of chaparro amargosa works well – where can I find it?
Intensified symptoms with resveratrol?
Dear Stephen, I just started resveratrol (half a pill of the one you recommend in the book) and am having TMJ swelling feelings. Do you see an intensified symptom picture with resveratrol?
Astragalus okay after recovered from late stage lyme?
Dear Stephen, You advise against astragalus for late-stage infection and up to now I have not taken it. At what point after treatment for late-stage lyme disease is it okay to take astragalus?
