Dear Stephen, It was posted (on another site) that you said andrographis is good for acute lyme but that it wasn’t showing results for chronic lyme. Is this true?

About to go on Cowden protocol
Dear Stephen, I have had MCS for 15 years (along with CFIDS and FM). The last six years I have also had uveitis (iritis) in one eye. Will the Cowden protocol help with uveitis?
Chlamydia pneumonaie and porphyria
Dear Stephen, Have you worked with chlamydia pneumoniae, and do you know of herbal, nutritional or homeopathic treatments? Do you know anything about natural treatment for porphyria?
Aloe juice and lyme herbs
Dear Stephen, I question whether all the aloe juice I have to drink with every meal due to my acid reflux will interfere with your herbal protocol. If I don’t drink the aloe I can’t swallow the pills…
Core herbs dosing
Dear Stephen, Can I really shift to a maintenance dose after two months and still get a good effect, or should I proceed symptomatically, i.e., only lowering the dose after die-off symptoms subside?
Core protocol for everyone, or only recent infections?
Dear Stephen, should I assume that the protocol is for anyone who got lyme, not just recent infections? If so, should I go on the full protocol or partial?
Protocol if lyme is detected early
Dear Stephen, If one has treated very early for lyme do you still recommend following your protocol for at least 60 days?
Vitamin B feeding lyme?
Dear Stephen, My doctor says vitamin B is the only thing I can’t take because the bug feeds off of B vitamins. In your book you recommend taking it though, because generally people with lyme are B vitamin deficient. Which is the case?
Simmering extracts in combination
Dear Stephen, Is it okay to simmer all the lyme herbs together in combination?
Elevated liver enzymes
Dear Stephen, In the past when people have reported elevated liver enzymes, you have leaned toward andrographis as the possible culprit – is this still the case?
