Healing Lyme

Bruising

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Mar 9, 2009

Dear Stephen, One of my many symptoms has been spontaneous “blood blisters” in my mouth on the mucosal cheek area as well as bruising otherwise.

Andrographis and elevated liver enzymes

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Mar 3, 2009

Dear Stephen, My daughter is on the Cowden protocol and has had slightly raised liver enzymes. She recently added andrographis and her liver enzymes are now even higher.

Ramp up time related to time on full protocol

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Feb 27, 2009

Dear Stephen, If it takes many months to “ramp up” to the full doses of the core protocol, do you still have to stay a month on the 4-4-4 dose?

Loss of taste with protocol

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Feb 18, 2009

Dear Stephen, After three weeks of taking the increasing dose of the core protocol, the collagen support, and arthritis protocols I have experienced a very marked decrease in taste.

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.

Andrographis and stephania for ALS-type Lyme?

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Jan 20, 2009

Dear Stephen, Will andrographis and stephania work well on their own, without cat’s claw and knotweed? I read in your book that stephania inhibits cytokine production and andrographis does as well.

Andrographis and aspirin allergy

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Jan 5, 2009

Dear Stephen, Are you aware of any relationship between aspirin allergy and andrographis, or for that matter any of the herbs in the protocol?

Confused by prior post on pregnancy and herbs

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Dec 29, 2008

Dear Stephen, Previously you advised that cat’s claw, astragalus, eleutherococcus, and stephania show no contraindications for pregnancy but on page 103 cat’s claw is contraindicated for pregnancy.

When to see improvement?

by Stephen Harrod Buhner | Dec 13, 2008

Dear Stephen, I don’t know for sure if I have lyme disease. I started your full protocol 10 weeks ago, but am not feeling any different. If I do have lyme disease, should I be seeing some improvement by now?
