Alternatives for Japanese knotweed
Dear Stephen,
I have chronic lyme with neurological symptoms being the most profound. I am working closely with a LLMD and am following a comprehensive protocol, but I’m concerned that I am not able to tolerate one of the most beneficial herbs, Japanese knotweed. Even a small dose results in nausea, cramping, and diarrhea. Can you recommend other herbs that may provide the same benefits of knotweed? Thank you.

Stephen’s response:
Stephania is the best alternative, after that arabinogalactan.
