Dear Stephen,
I am very allergic to all antibiotics. Especially levaquin, cephalosporins and sulfur drugs. As well as all erythromycin and penicillin drugs. I can not even be in the same room with someone who has taken levaquin – within an hour or I get hives and shortness of breath. Is cryptolepis the same as levaquin and cipro? My LLMD prescribed it to me and I am concerned I will react to it. Will a person with known allergies to these antibiotics be safe using herbal antibiotics? I have to have them administered in ICU under desensitization. Thanks for any advice you can offer me.

Stephen’s response:
Cryptolepis is not similar to any of those drugs. Nevertheless, start with a few drops to see how you respond.

Hi Mr. Buhner, thanks for your remarkably organized and easy to understand book, Healing Lyme. I have Lyme, Bartonella, Burella and something in my gut my naturopath has not yet identified. I’ve been infected for 45 years. Now I have Lyme carditis block, so I’m a pretty sick girl. What has your experience been in treating this? I’ve been in treatment for over a year for Lyme and co-infections. At first I began to improve and got better (my kidneys stopped failing) but then I began to decline, and now the carditis block. I’d appreciate any thoughts you might have.
I hope you are better! Stephen. Buhner is no longer replying here. Your situation is why this Lyme Treatment debacle must change. Prayers for you to find healp and healing!
