Dear Stephen, I am a 46 yr old Mom to 3 kids (all with lyme, one with autism). I am still nursing my 2 year old and am wondering if there is anything I should NOT take to treat myself.
Transmission
Using astragalus
Dear Stephen, I understand that astralagus can act as a preventive against tick embedding. Can I take it and if so what brand do you recommend and what dosage? Thank you.
Pregnancy and bartonella treatment
Dear Stephen, My wife is 7 months pregnant with our second child. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD diagnosed bartonella with his ART muscle tests and he wants her to take a “5-in-1” tincture of your core protocol herbs.
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?
Getting pregnant
Dear Stephen, My husband and I want to have a child, so I would like to know how long you suggest being on the core protocol before going off of it for pregnancy? What herbs do you recommend for pregnancy?
Re-Infection during protocol
I would highly recommend that, if you are not, you begin taking astragalus 1000 mg 3x daily. You are so newly infected that this herb is perfect for you. A new tick should not make much difference in any event (and really should not if you take astragalus) due to the herb presence in your body.
Confused by prior post on pregnancy and herbs
Dear Stephen, Previously you advised that cat’s claw, astragalus, eleutherococcus, and stephania show no contraindications for pregnancy but on page 103 cat’s claw is contraindicated for pregnancy.
Conception on protocol
Dear Stephen, Do you think it is safe for a husband with lyme to conceive children with a non-lyme wife?
Preventing lyme transmission through body fluids
Dear Stephen, Our 21 year old son was diagnosed last month with chronic lyme. Is there any herb to keep his future wife from getting infected?
Breastfeeding on protocol
Dear Stephen, I am nursing a 10-month-old. Which herbs can I safely take while breastfeeding and are there any herbs that will help protect the baby or do I just assume the baby is going to come down with it?
