stevia

hello,

can stevia be a treatment for lyme ?
recently, a friend showed me an article which explain stevia is more effective than antibiotics...
if it's the case, which dosage with powder ?

thanks a lot

For what it’s worth, my LLMD tells patients to avoid products with stevia if they react to it. In me, I get symptoms like insomnia and anxiety worsening.

I think part of the problem could be that stevia is in so many things on the market that it’s difficult to consume it intentionally.

My LLMD does recommend Xylitol powder 1tsp per day for biofilm.

no it cannot. it's not systemic. all people i saw here that say they reacted to stevia probably had so because they had some spirochetes in their gut or connected tissue. Stevia will most probably not reach the brain as i never heard of anyone here reporting brain/neuro herxes on stevia alone by the likes of mino/ceftriaxone or other systemic herbs, say oregano oil ... and if u've had lyme for some time u need to hit it with some BBB medication because it's most certainly in your brain, too.

i spent 2 years taking herbal protocol and added alcohol based stevia ontop and i was using pretty large doses 60+ drops a day. i used alcohol based extract and one of the brands used by E. Sapi in her in vitro tests, that showed good effects. i have not seen any effect on me and in the two years that i heavily used it i actually RELAPSED while on it, got pretty sick so i had to switch from herbs to antibiotics.

if stevia were so great it would at least have kept me from relapsing. so my answer is NO, it's not a good lyme treatment used alone.

now some LLMDs give stevia as biofilm buster to patients, along with many other supplements. Well given u are not allowed to eat sugar, the worst thing stevia can do to u is make your bitter lyme life a bit sweeter. is that that bad ? i don't think so ... the best case is it would actually help a bit on biofilm dissolving, and maybe just maybe, improve your gut health long term. i think that if there is a chance stevia would work in vivo it's right in the gut/intestines, as close to the source of ingestion as possible.

Stevia is from a plant

Isn’t Xylitol a sugar alcohol from fruits and vegetables?

Start at 30:30. One is artificial one is natural. My point is, according to J, xylitol gets in to the blood..l unless I misunderstood. Why wouldn’t stevia?

It's good if you want to add some taste to your coffe or infusions jejej

In September a quack llmd near kill me because he wanted to avoid abx in all ways.... and only take unusefull suplements that don't do anything with lyme like stevia or curcumin....

After much experimentation I would not rely on stevia as a stand-alone treatment
