The Sage Gecko strongly recommends reviewing the Stephen H. Buhner Healing Lyme book and Website prior to using herbs for treatment of Lyme. Per Mr. Buhner:
"These
herbs are extremely potent and it is highly recommended that they be
used under a knowledgeable practitioner's guidance in an individualized
plan based on your co-infections and health history. Herxes (die-off
reactions) can be extremely powerful and great care must be taken."
Herbal
supplements on this site are sold in quantities and combinations based
on Buhner's Lyme protocols, but claims made about specific products on
or throughout this site have not been evaluated by Sage Gecko or the
United States Food and Drug Administration and are not claimed to or
approved to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease by Sage Gecko.
