Sarsaparilla and blood sugar
Dear Stephen,
I started taking the basic protocol herbs last week but soon developed bad hypoglycemic symptoms every morning on waking and throughout the day. The worst one was that I kept getting migraines that I couldn’t get rid of. I know I have very weak adrenals and a possible HPA axis problem and have to take a low dose steroid to make up for the cortisol I don’t make. I read in your book that sarsaparilla can lower blood sugar and I was taking 3 daily. I think this might have been causing the problem. Is it ok to do the protocol without this herb? Thanks for the help.

It is fine to do the protocol without the sarsaparilla.
