I'm not sure about specifics vs. Shoemaker protocol, but garlic, turmeric,

resveratrol all work on inflammation. Here's a journal article specifically

about phytotherapy and cytokines: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-148424513.html

Yes Jen there is a natiral product on the following link and the name of the

herb product is called Avipaxin. My friend uses it and it also helps with

his stamina and depression. He too has Lyme. My body didnt like it so it was not

for me. The herbalist there is really great also if you call to ask questions.

not just that, cholestyramine (questran) can have quite serious side effects.

[Guest guest]

what side effects are you referring to? When I've looked it up, it seems there's

only some digestive side effects. Is that not correct?

it has potential interactions with other drugs and many systems in the body

(e.g. gal bladder, kidneys, liver). The risk probably depends on how well you

are monitored and how long use is continued. MD's in my country seem to be

generally not in favour of using this drug.

I have looked into the option myself some time ago for 'detox' and decided not

to use it; that was partly because I am already skinny and it can lead to

further weight loss. But also because of other potential side effects that were

mentioned. Don't have a good link for you unfortunately ...
