Dear Stephen, I am just starting to follow your protocol for late stage lyme – thank you very much for that. I had a question please though about your recommendation of DHEA under your “collagenous tissue support” section. I was put on DHEA by a...

Dear Stephen, My husband has lyme plus coinfections. He has a pacemaker/ defibrillator and extreme fatigue. A sleep study was negative for apnea. Eleutherococcus has caused palpitations for him; what can he use for help with the fatique? Stephen’s response:...
