Support for Lyme Disease Sufferers

Because of controversy over both diagnosis and what constitutes a reasonable protocol of those who have Lyme disease, many people are being denied adequate support and therefore suffering unnecessarily. Some of the herbs on this page have been found useful by some who have been challenged by this condition.

 

Cat's Claw Herbal Extract, 2 oz.

Cat's Claw Extract, 2 oz.
Uncaria tomentosa

Uncaria tomentosa is a rain forest herb with demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. It is therefore often used for people with rheumatoid arthritis. Preliminary studies suggest that cat's claw slows tumor growth and that it enhances immunity. It is safe in the recommended doses; side effects are usually associated with possible allergic reactions to plants in the Rubiaceae family.

Alcohol: 45%

Contains: extract of Uncaria tomentosa bark in distilled water, organic grain alcohol, and pure vegetable glycerin.

Guaiacum Extract, 2 oz.
Guaiacum officinale

Guaiacum has been popular since the sixteenth century when it was introduced as a cure for syphilis. It is part of most formulas for spirochete infections, but it has a reputation for efficacy with rheumatoid arthritis and tonsillitis. It is an important ingredient in our Seneca Elixir which is based on the formula of Dr. Eli Jones and is used for both cancer and any diseases affecting the skin.

Alcohol: 90%

Contains: Extract of Lignum vitae (Guaiacum officinale) resin 1:5 in Organic Gain Alcohol USF and Distilled Water.

Japanese Knotweed, 2 oz
Polygonum cuspidatum

Japanese knotweed is presently prized mainly for its very high reservatrol content, but in traditional Chinese medicine, it is used mainly to detoxify the blood and improve circulation. Recent studies suggest that Polygonum cuspidatum is antimicrobial and antimutagenic. It is also an excellent antioxidant. Even more recently, Japanese knotweed has been widely used by Lyme-infected patients to reduce damage to the nervous system due to toxins. It is regarded as more useful against the co-infections than the spirochete itself.

Alcohol: 29-31%

Contains: Polygonum cuspidatum root in distilled water, organic alcohol, and vegetable glycerin.

Spiro Pro

Spiro Pro 2 oz. alcohol extract

This formula is based on the work of Stephen Buhner but is somewhat modified to promote superior crossing of the blood-brain barrier.

Alcohol: 53%

Contains: Uncaria tomentosa bark, Dipsacus sylvestris root, Smilax glabra root, Guaiacum officinale resin in organic grain alcohol and vegetable glycerin.

Teasel Extract, 2 oz.
Dipsacus sylvestris

Teasel is a potent astringent and is often used as a diuretic and to arrest diarrhea. It stimulates the appetite, improves digestion, and, like other members of the thistle family, aids rejuvenation of the liver and gall bladder. However, it is also regarded as useful in the treatment of Lyme disease. Matthew Wood devoted an entire chapter to it in one of his books and it is one of the ingredients in the Stephen Boehner formula we produce under the name of Spiro Pro. Use very cautiously and check the directions before dispensing.

Alcohol: 60%

Contains: extract of Dipsacus sylvestris root 1:2 in organic cane alcohol, distilled water, and vegetable glycerin.
