He has helped so many, and will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace Mr. Buhner, what a sad day.

So sad. I got two of his books on my bookshelf directly behind me as I type this. No matter what one might think of his prescriptions it can't be denied that he spent a significant part of his life trying to help a group of ignored and under served chronically ill people. Thank you Stephen. RIP

Oh MY!! This is a great loss to the Lyme world as well as to the Herbalist world! He was simply, hands down, amazing as an author and as a Practicing Herbalist. His works have helped a tremendous amount of people. I have many of his books, as they are so very full of information, and they are written so that a person can get something out of them, no matter their education level. I found them helpful before I became an herbalist myself, and learned how to put what he wrote into practice.

Truly a great loss.
Thank you so much Saraeli for posting this so that we knew.

from the Link “There is a saying some places on the continent of Africa that says something like: When an old man dies, a library burns. “...

In many cases that is true.

And he will be buried deep in the forest at a place that still allows that. Seems very fitting.

I was just thinking about that quote, Astroman. And we truly did lose a huge library when he passed. Fortunately, there are the many books he's written, as well as the few practitioners he trained. Hopefully, he will live on through them, and they will continue his legacy of helping the people.

i have four or five of his books - and have read them cover to cover.

They are some of the best researched material on Lyme and co-infections out there.
i have also benefited considerably from the herbs he suggests in them.

he was definitely committed to helping people - even when his own health was failing.

one of the good guys!

RIP

Wanted to jump in as someone who did as much for the Lyme community and overall health deserves to be remembered and thanked.

The advancements in education and use of herbs he brought to the Lyme world was incredible, and there are so many people who are out there that benefited from it. God bless Stephen Buhner, and his knowledge, contributions and endless hours put to his craft should never be forgotten.

I knew this was coming. I actually went to his website a week or so ago looking to see if any news was posted. After I saw this post the other day, I checked his site again, but nothing has been posted there.

This is the site I’m referring to. His last articles and writings are here, including a number of treatment protocols. Hopefully, the site will stay up, as these are not published protocols. https://www.stephenharrodbuhner.com/articles/

Stephen Buhner was a phenomenal person and herbalist. I don’t think there will be another like him. I have 4 of his books and will be forever grateful for the work he did and the hope he gave to so many.

Apparently, Stephen was on a lot of minds here, as I visited his website just a few days ago, too. I went to his Health Update page, but didn't find anything new.

Though I neither met Stephen nor read any of his books, I was sad to hear of his passing. His positive impact on the world will never be fully known, but I think we might all agree that it was profound -- and, it will remain so.

I've previously archived many of his articles to the Internet Archive website, but I just did it again -- this time, all 19 of his "Medicine/Herbs/Healing" articles.

Thank you Dude!

What did I miss ? Stephen Buhner passed away?
Posted 3/14/2023 7:53 PM (GMT 0)
Just got the news last night. Stunning, I was hoping against hope for a better outcome. He helped so many. I can't even imagine where I would be without his work - probably not here at all.

That proverb about an old man dying is so true. But as consolation we know that Stephen inspired many to use and to take up the study of herbs and natural remedies, so much so that inroads have been made into formal medical practice. At least one top lyme doc I know of now has a herbalist on staff. This is a major step forward for natural medicine and the public health. Stephen's work continues.

Thank you, and may you rest in peace, Stephen.

Never got to properly mourn this sad news, it was only about 6 months ago...I took his protocol, as much of it as I could on a very limited budget to say the least...it's as powerful as ABX those herbs I have to say!

So powerful in fact that I had Herxs that scared me into stopping for awhile...

I still have some Teasel Root tincture I bought on Etsy, and that herb really does something. I need to research the MOA (method of action, pharmocokinetics) before I take any more...

And I think Banderol and Samento (sry I forget Otoba Root extract and Cat's Claw) are still the go-to's...

I would like to get better and continue treatment, but I don't want Herxs that incapacitate me... (!)

Anyway, to a knowledgeable, generous, kind author/herbalist who has helped so many...RIP.

And to anyone wondering how I'm doing, I'm doing OK! with keto diet as much as I can, and zero/low sugar when I'm good about watching (what I eat).. ...however not back to my old self (full function) yet and fairly certain I've got Babesiosis, Bartonellosis as well as Borreliae still coursing through me...at what load? not sure...

I see Buhner's life as an inspiration to gain more knowledge and help others while I still can.
