Dear Stephen, I am so desperate to get my life back and feel normal again.
Autoimmune Disease
Cat’s claw, autoimmunity and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Dear Stephen, I remember reading somewhere that cat’s claw shouldn’t be used in its complete form if you have an autoimmune condition and the TOA free form Samento should be used instead.
WBC counts keep dropping
Dear Stephen, Before I started your protocol my WBC was 2.7. My labs just came back on my WBC at 2.2, my neutrophils are 0.7. My doctor got so concerned that she referred me to a hematologist. Are there any herbs I can take to increase my WBC?
Th2 dominant – astragalus okay to take?
Dear Stephen, Apparently I am in a Th2 dominant situation with a late stage bartonella infection – do you think in this case it’s okay to use astragalus?
Low white blood cells
Dear Stephen, I am wondering what you can suggest for a drop in white blood cells – I need to increase my immunity.
Diabetes type 1 and lyme
Dear Stephen, Could an earlier incident of lyme disease, in your opinion, trigger type 1 diabetes later on?
Transfer Factor Multi Immune
Dear Stephen, Many lyme doctors are using Transfer Factor Multi Immune to help jump-start the immune system. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the ingredients, considering one of them is astragalus.
Hyperimmunity and hyper/hypo thyroid swings
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).
Astragalus and auto-immune
Dear Stephen, I have been advised by an herbalist not to use astragalus as it seems that I am Th-1 dominant and that astragalus stimulates Th-1 activity.
Autoimmune and use of astragulus to ward off infection
Dear Stephen, My grandson (4 now) is Type 1 diabetic and my daughter has an unspecified autoimmune disorder. He was bit yesterday. Are there any particular considerations when helping his immune system?
