Dear Stephen, I have lyme/bartonella and have been on many antibiotic protocols. Some things have improved but the one area that I can’t seem to cure is in my teeth/nose area.
Symptoms
Stephania and beta blockers
Dear Stephen, I am currently on a beta blocker, which you say is contraindicated with stephania. The blocker allows me to sleep more soundly without heart palpitations, so I am afraid to stop it. Any thoughts?
Knotweed and estrogen positive breast cancer
Dear Stephen, I was diagnosed with early stage estrogen positive breast cancer and one of my doctors told me not to take the knotweed because resveratrol may stimulate cancer cell growth.
Phytoestrogens and endometriosis
Dear Stephen, I noticed that Japanese knotweed is a phytoestrogen. I have endometriosis in addition to lyme. Could taking this herb exacerbate my endometriosis by mimicking estrogen?
Perforated eardrum and fungal infection
Dear Stephen, I was diagnosed with lyme 22 years ago and also have multiple sclerosis. My latest issue is a fungal infection and resulting perforation in my eardrum. Is there something you could recommend?
Bartonella and infected teeth
I have lyme/bartonella. Recently my dentist caused an infection that spread throughout my whole mouth. I believe I have spirochetes in the remaining teeth causing lots of pain. Help!
Diagnosed with late stage babesia
Dear Stephen, I’ve recently been diagnosed with late stage babesia. My doctor has put me on 3 different antibiotics for this and none have touched it. I need some advice…I’m hoping you can help.
Oregon grape root
Dear Stephen, I have read that Oregon grape root is not to be taken long term. Some say no longer than a few weeks. Am I to be concerned with long term use?
Hand tremors
Dear Stephen, Are there any additional herbs, tinctures, or treatments that can stop hand tremors from lyme? Anxiety makes them worse, but the tremors are always present except when sleeping or during deep meditation.
Knotweed, red clover and hypercoagulation
Dear Stephen, With lyme and hypercoagulation, if one is taking Japanese knotweed, or any of the other herbs in the protocol, are there any contraindications with drinking Sir Jason Winters Tea?
