May 7, 2012 | astragalus, chronic lyme, Herbs, Lyme, miscellaneous | 0 comments

Dear Stephen, Before finding your book, I devised a protocol of my own (via guesswork and internet research). It included astragalus. I didn’t react well, and according to the book, the astragalus is probably at fault since I’m definitely in late-stage...
