Dear Stephen, Liver testing showed a fast phase I and a slow phase II. Is there anything you would recommend I do differently to address this issue before starting your herbal protocol?
Symptoms
Brain swelling and small intestine help
Dear Stephen, What else can I take to reduce brain swelling? What helps generate tissue for the small intestine?
Re: Your response to my question on hypercoagulation
Dear Stephen, Just for your own information and future reference, I was tested for and was found to have severe hypercoagulation, even after 3 months on andrographis (3 400mg doses, 3x/day).
Insomnia
Dear Stephen, The inability to sleep is a constant and dangerous symptom of this disease for many lyme patients. What can you suggest to those like myself where the problem lies in the brain function itself?
Emotional symptoms
Dear Stephen, When on antibiotics one particularly disturbing effect was an emotionally out of control feeling (despair, hopelessness, crying for hours). I get a milder version of this with your herbs.
Severe muscle spasms and pain
Dear Stephen, Can you briefly explain the mechanism by which lyme causes muscle spasms? I know that low magnesium, calcium or potassium could cause spasms, but I know that there are other factors at work as well.
Treating lyme cysts
Dear Stephen, My question is what can we do to try and deal with the cysts. I have them in many places and it is getting worse.
High liver enzymes
Dear Stephen, I am having a problem with high liver enzymes. I am on the Core Protocol. I have heard a warning about cat’s claw being a problem with the liver.
Red root and hypercoagulation
Dear Stephen, Red root encourages blood clotting—and most lymies actually need blood thinners. What do you think about this?
Chinese herbs
Dear Stephen, My question is about Chinese herbs: forsythia, isatis, gardenia, coptis, phellodendron, houttunya, lonicerae.
