Yes I am going to test stevia again but in my coffee...because I truly want to eliminate all the sugar. ...
So now I read that it can be used for lyme?? Really?
Also How many drops on coffee to substitute 2 teaspoon of raw cane sugar?

Thanks as usual.

I use one dropper full to equal 2 teaspoons, but you really have to be your own guinea pig. And my stevia has vanilla in it so I think subconsciously I think it is sweeter. LOL

I was given for free, 9 pretty good sized Stevia plants by a local nursery. Wish everyone lived closer, I'd share them.

I'll probably have to harvest and dry the leaves on most of the plants by Winter, or do something to preserve the leaves. Going to try to plant a couple to see if they survive.

I've crushed up about 2 tablespoons of leaves for a quart of unsweetened kool aid, as an experiment, and that was sufficient.

artermix,
I have read that the Stevia that you get in the store (the powdered form) is not effective. It needs to be the whole leaf extract. And the study I read used it alongside of abx making the abx more effective.

It works to open up the nutrition pathways and is able to reach the different forms that Lyme morphs into. (If I remember correctly)

Nutramedix stevia is the one Eva Sapi tested.

I only do 4 drops in my coffee but I will also sweeten lemon water and tea. Don't miss sugar at all!

And my doctor said 15-30 drops in water, 2x a day. I haven't followed that though.

artermix I use it but don't think it was the ONLY thing that helped my lyme. I think it all worked together.

I would not suggest to anyone that Stevia alone would cure their lyme.

I do not believe that it will hurt you, so why not try it? That's how I roll (as my grandson said when he was 7 LOL!!)

Dr. Richard Horowitz Facebook Page --

Borrelia burgdorferi has been shown to be able to persist in the body. Prior work on Stevia had shown it to be effective against Borrelia biofilms, and in this paper by researchers at the University of New Haven, Stevia was shown to be effective against different morphological forms, as per the three-antibiotic combination (doxy, cefoperazone and daptomycin) shown to be effective by Johns Hopkins researchers. "J. Feng et al.also showed that the three-antibiotic combination (doxycycline, cefoperazone, and daptomycin) was very potent in eliminating the stationary phase rich persisters of Borrelia. In this study, we provided evidence that Stevia A, as an individual agent, was capable of eliminating the spirochetes and the persisters of Borrelia similar to the reported three-drug combination treatment. Our data also showed that the antibiotics in combination on the persisters of Borrelia was indeed consistent with the previous study". www.akademiai.com/doi/pdf/10.1556/1886.2015.00031

Edited to add - note it does say Whole Leaf Extract as Demikeef mentioned.
