Symptoms
Varicose veins
Dear Stephen, Over the past year I have noticed both varicose and spider veins appearing between the ankles and calves and seem to be spreading. I wondered whether this could be a consequence of lyme.
Hemorrhoids
Dear Stephen, I have really bad hemorrhoids, I think it is aggravated by the lyme/bartonella/babesia that I have. Is there anything you could recommend to help?
Bruising
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 stephania for ALS-type Lyme?
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.
Cortisol properties in stephania root?
Dear Stephen, I found that very soon after getting to the 2 stephania 3x day, I was able to lower my hydrocortisone dose to about 12.5 mg. I’m wondering if stephania root has some cortisol-like properties?
Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Dear Stephen, I have two ill friends who wish to take more herbs but they suffer from horrible GERD and have not found anything useful. What would you recommend for GERD?
Weight loss
Dear Stephen, I understand that unexplained weight loss is one of the symptoms of lyme borreliosis. I’m trying to understand why the weight loss. Is it due to collagen tissue breakdown?
Chronic muscle pain and spasm
Dear Stephen, What can be done to help with the chronic unrelenting migrating pain and spasms?
Bismacine to kill encysted lymes?
Dear Stephen, A friend of mine said that bismacine is the only known thing that will kill off encysted lymes. What is your perspective on that?
