Persistent lyme arthritis in 3 year old
Dear Stephen, Do you have any specific recomendations for a young child with persistent lyme arthritis (knee, elbow, foot/ankle and toe)?
Can lyme be transmitted from dirty water?
Dear Stephen, My illness started about 6 weeks after I was accidentally submerged in the dirty water of a harbor full of fishing boats and yachts. Is it likely that I could have picked up lyme from that source?
WBC counts keep dropping
Dear Stephen, Before I started your protocol my WBC was 2.7. My labs just came back on my WBC at 2.2, my neutrophils are 0.7. My doctor got so concerned that she referred me to a hematologist. Are there any herbs I can take to increase my WBC?

Dear Stephen, I was told resveratrol is very helpful in preventing replication of the EBV virus – would Japanese knotweed give the same benefits for EBV as resveratrol?

Dear Stephen, I want to share my story with you to bring to your attention a real case study when vitamin D made a lyme patient worse, not better.
Anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications contraindicated?
Dear Stephen, I am on Lexapro and also take Ativan as needed (depression and anxiety likely due to lyme). Are there any herbs in the book/protocol that are not okay with these medications?

Dear Stephen, Apparently I am in a Th2 dominant situation with a late stage bartonella infection – do you think in this case it’s okay to use astragalus?
Professor questions bartonella protocol
Dear Stephen, My professor in Belgium told me that bartonella has only been relatively recently discovered and that new info will probably be available for doctors within some months and then other treatments will follow. What do you think of this?
Blastocystis homininis
Dear Stephen, Maybe you have some insight in what I could take for the parasite (orotoze, amoebe, encysted) blastocystis m homininis?
