Dear Stephen, I spent some time living in the South Pacific. A year after returning back to the States, I started getting gastro symptoms. Is it possible that I got a bug overseas and it made lyme surface?
Symptoms
Intractable neck discomfort / choking symptoms
Dear Stephen, I feel like I am being choked and when I move my neck from side to side my sternocloidomastoid muscles feel like they are so tight and ache so much.
Liver support/toxicity
Dear Stephen, Do you see liver problems with boneset? What herbs would you add for bartonella that are more gentle on the liver?
Resveratrol gave me vertigo
Dear Stephen, On knotweed I felt fab after a day or so, and then TERRIBLY dizzy for days until I stopped it. I started out slow. Now what? I have no life.
Herb best for brain fog
Dear Stephen, My lingering symptoms are persistent frontal HA/pressure and waxing and waning fog. Any thoughts on which herb can be used to help to clear the fog?
Skin fungi herbs
Dear Stephen, The only problem that’s still with me, is pre-lyme skin fungi (before only in my toes, now in my fingers). I suffer from that in winter only, for more than a decade.
Anemia / poor circulation
Dear Stephen, Is there anything more I can be doing to aid my circulation in the event of fewer red blood cells because of babesia, or to increase my red blood cell production?
Stephania root eye decoction
Dear Stephen, I am about to start your protocol for lyme but I am unsure how to prepare the eye decoction you describe in your book.
Mercury
Dear Stephen, I tested positive for mercury via DMSA provocation, and I think that’s as big of a problem as the lyme disease. What ways can I get heavy metals down safely?
Bone pain
Dear Stephen, All my bones hurt when there is pressure on them. When I lay in my bed my hipbone and ribs hurt, for example. Can you explain what causes this pain and is there something I can do about it?
