Stephania okay to take long term?

Dear Stephen,
I have followed your herbal protocol for a while. Now I have added stephania root as a tincure, 1/2 teaspoon 3 times a day for late stage neuroborreliosis. I can’t find anything in your book about how long one safely can use stephania or how long you recommend on this dosage.

Stephen’s response:
You can safely take it long term from what I can see in the literature. My normal approach for myself is to take something like this until my body begins to tell me not to do so any longer or if side effects occur.

Stephen

If, i am not having eye symptoms, do I need to add Stephania.
I have chronic Lyme & Bartonella, EPV & Chlamydia P. antibodies.
I am currently taking Cat’s Claw, red root, andrographis & reservatrol.

  Hi Lesley, Stephania is not part of the core protocol, so no, you do not need to add it. Please see the book for the uses of stephania and if you feel you’d like to add it, you can. Best, Julie

1st Chinese Herbs currently has organic powder in bulk. It is doing wonders for my eye problems.

Read the Book

"This protocol was incredible. After only a few weeks most of my symptoms were gone. After six months all my symptoms were gone. Stephen Buhner’s knowledge of the herbs is incredible and this protocol is the most thought out that I have seen. It has given me my life back. While it may not work for everyone the vast majority of people on the lyme internet groups report incredible success with it. Thank you Stephen Buhner." ~ Amazon.com review by Joseph
