Key Research: Johns Hopkins 2020 Study

A landmark in vitro study from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health tested 14 plant extracts against Borrelia burgdorferi (the Lyme bacteria) and found that both Mediterranean rockrose (Cistus incanus) and sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua) were among seven herbs that outperformed standard antibiotics (doxycycline and cefuroxime) .

Specific Findings:

Clinical Experience

Dr. Ying Zhang (Johns Hopkins): “This study provides the first convincing evidence that some of the herbs used by patients, such as Cryptolepis, black walnut, sweet wormwood, cat’s claw, and Japanese knotweed have potent activity against Lyme disease bacteria, especially the dormant persister forms, which are not killed by the current Lyme antibiotics” .

Dr. Sunjya Schweig (California Center for Functional Medicine): Notes that many patients turn to these herbal remedies to fill treatment gaps left by antibiotics, but emphasizes the need for clinical trials .

A 2020-2024 clinical study in Germany used a tincture combining both rock rose and sweet wormwood (along with other herbs) versus standard antibiotics, measuring outcomes with lymphocyte transformation tests. Results showed both approaches reduced disease activity, though the study was retrospective and not randomized .

How It Helps Lyme Patients Specifically

1. Targets persister cells – The stationary phase bacteria that cause chronic/persistent Lyme symptoms
2. Biofilm disruption – Rock rose breaks down the protective slime colonies bacteria hide in
3. Co-infection coverage – Sweet wormwood is traditionally used for Babesia (a malaria-like co-infection common in Lyme patients)
4. Anti-inflammatory – Both herbs reduce the inflammatory cascade that causes Lyme symptoms

(70% DMSO, 30% Aloe Vera Gel)

DMSO is used for joint pain, inflammation, burns and muscle injuries. It can also speed up the healing of injuries.

Despite decades of research and thousands of studies attesting to its health-promoting properties, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) remains virtually unknown to the medical profession and the public.

This inexpensive, naturally found compound demonstrates:

• potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties
• relieves painful musculoskeletal and urinary conditions
• and may even fight Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.

Unfortunately, its widespread acceptance and use has been stymied by the FDA and their allies in the pharmaceutical industry.

*Use with caution if you have asthma, diabetes, or a liver or kidney condition.

Wild yam contains saponins and diosgenin that support the body’s natural hormonal balance. It is not hormone replacement but instead supports the body’s natural production of progesterone and testosterone while also helping balance excess estrogen.

Commonly used by holistic practitioners and herbalists as a natural alternative to estrogen therapy for symptoms of menopause, menstrual problems, infertility and many other conditions. Some people report it may help with:

• insomnia
• cramping
• heavy menstrual flow
• and headaches

Can also be used by men to help:

• Keep testosterone free and active by lowering SHBG
• Soothe prostate inflammation
• Speed muscle recovery and reduce post-workout soreness

1. Root to receptor
   Wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) is packed with diosgenin, a plant sterol that human cells can convert into progesterone—the “balancing” hormone that opposes excess estrogen, calms the brain and supports skin, bone, prostate and thyroid.
2. Through the skin, not the stomach
   Rubbing a small, measured dose (10–20 mg) into thin, blood-rich areas (inner arms, chest, neck) lets the hormone slip straight into circulation, bypassing the liver and avoiding the peaks and crashes of pills.
3. What it does inside

• Women: smooths PMS, peri-menopause hot flashes, night sweats and post-meno sleep/bone support.
• Men: lowers SHBG, freeing natural testosterone, aids deep sleep, faster recovery, and reduces nighttime bathroom trips.

4. Fast facts
   Works in minutes, builds benefits over days; use cyclically (women) or 6 days on/1 day off (men); no estrogen, no progestins, no parabens; glass bottle.

Ingredients: *wild yam, *chaste berry powder, *extra-virgin olive oil. *organic
