Feeling intoxicated from lyme herbs
Dear Stephen,
I’m forty-three and have been bedridden from lyme for almost three years. I think the infection got very bad because my doctors gave me many prednisone shots for weeks, due to a rash that they were not able to explain. Several months ago, I finally persuaded my skeptical doctor to send my blood to Igenex. My test was CDC positive. My doctor also confirmed with another lab and that was positive also. I’ve taken oral antibiotics and had unbearable herxes. I finally read your amazing book and purchased capsules which contain knotweed, andrographis, cat’s claw, sarsaparilla and dandelion from a vendor you recommend. I started out slow and had a herx which was tolerable. But a few days into it I started feeling drunk and blurry within an hour of taking a a capsule. I feel that my body is embracing the herbs and they are right, but don’t know what to do about the drunk feeling. Any advice?

Stephen’s response:
Try using only knotweed to begin with for a week or two, then add cat’s claw for a week, then andrographis. Your drunk symptoms are probably related to one of the herbs and this will identify which one. Then just leave that one out of what you take.
