“You are failing because you are not using herbs.”
“You can only kill the residual ‘resistant’ Lyme with herbs.”
I have published on herbal medicine in JAMA, have two herb books, with one tripling in size coming out in 2 months, and I served on the board of two large herbal companies.
But this is a markedly extreme comment from those who have a herbs-only practice. I love their passion, but not hyper-narrow science that lords itself over top thought leaders.
They report they cure Lyme patients, but I would love to test these “cures” myself, since I have found this is often not the case in many triumphalistic comments.
They use lab studies that are inferior to human studies I did in the early 2000s, showing they are making errors.
They are really talking to basic infection doctors who have 1–2 treatments, and not the elite top 15 LLMDs. Some herb practitioners keep reporting failures of synthetic drugs that only kill the active form, like doxycycline, amoxicillin, Augmentin, rifampin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, ceftriaxone, and other active-form treatments.
They reject synthetics because they mention the synthetics that only kill active, motile Lyme or Bartonella. They ignore the methods Lyme expert physicians use to kill the other non-active forms.
My second hugely expanded herb book suggests using both herbals, semisynthetic herbals, and synthetic treatments.
We also add about 15 other treatment types beyond what a doctor with merely two or three methods can use to restore your health.
