Dear Stephen, My condition is at a new low where I’m having swings in my thyroid from hyper to hypo, hyperadrenalism and what is being described as hyperimmunity (or possibly some sort of autoimmunity).
Symptoms
Herbs to support Th1 and Th2?
Dear Stephen, Can you recommend a source in which we can read about which herbs support Th1 and Th2?
Sleep and weight loss problems
Dear Stephen, I weight 320 pounds, and I’m trying to lose weight. When I work to resolve my blood sugar problems, my sleep problems and all the rest of my symptoms get worse; if I ignore the weight issue, then I can sleep. Any ideas on what I can do?
Numbness in face – cheeks, mouth, jaw and neck area
Dear Stephen, I have had lyme for 1 year and 4 months now. One of my symptoms is that I get an numb sensation that is sometimes bad, other times not so noticeable, in my face akin to the feeling of having had anesthesia from the dentist.
Protocol effective after 18 years?
Dear Stephen, I had lyme disease about 18 years ago and I was treated with 7 days of intravenous antibiotics. Do you think the core protocol would help me today, 18 years later?
Myelin sheath support
Dear Stephen, I have been concerned about issues with myelin sheaths. I have a lot of CNS issues and the biggest worry for me right now is the loss of sensation/numbness on mainly my right side.
Extreme ringing in ears
Dear Stephen, What do you suggest for extreme ringing in the ears from lyme? I’ve tried stephania root.
Sudden onset explosive rage from herbs
Dear Stephen, My 21 year-old male relative has neuro lyme, bartonella and babesia. He tried the Buhner core protocol which caused extreme mood lability during the hour after each dose, so bad that his family had to leave the house for an hour each time.
Tinnitus
Dear Stephen, Is there any report that one of the herbs in your protocol (or taken in combination) might cause tinnitus or exacerbate an existing issue?
Herbs for testosterone
Dear Stephen, Is it okay to combine the core protocol, testosterone raising herbs and niacin? Some of these are powerful, and I don’t want to overdo anything.
