Cryptolepis buchanani
Dear Stephen,
I was able to locate Cryptolepis buchanani on the web in capsule form. Is “Cryptolepis buchanani” the same as “Cryptolepis”? And what should be the dosage for fighting babesia? Thank you.

Stephen’s response:
No, the herb I am using is Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, which is from Ghana. C. buchanani is sometimes used in Ayurvedic practice and, I assume, comes from India. They are related but I don’t know if they can be used interchangeably. C. buchanani does have a number of interesting effects that might make it useful for lyme, etc. but I don’t know enough about it to say. I don’t know if it is systemic as C. sanguinolenta is or if it is highly present, as well, in the blood stream. The only source I know for the form of herb I recommend is woodlandessence.com.
