Stevia as Lyme treatment? Big difference between in vitro and in vivo

Here's what Dr. Rawls has to say:

/rawlsmd.com/health-articles/can-stevia-treat-lyme-disease

It looks like we can save money and just keep using stevia for sweetness vs. expecting results from it with our treatments.

It's not that they can't live without the host very long (they can be cultured for 3 weeks I know), it's that they act differently in the host - if what I have read is true.

In vitro (in a test tube) can most certainly give us leads as to what might work, but until it goes through in vivo (in body) testing, we won't know if it really works or not. There are many things that work for eradicating Lyme in vitro (test tube), but once they are tried out on a person, things change and they don't work, at least not as planned many times. The product may not be as effective, or may not work at all.

Ahh ok, that makes sense Traveler.
CD I just reread the article you linked and ironically I'm reading Rawls book Unlocking Lyme (wanted to educate more on herbal treatment) and I just hit the page that talked about Stevia.

Funny how things happen like that, lol

VCL I love this book and am on my second read. I know I missed some things. It is a fabulous book. His protocol is from Buhner with adjustments. Which any of us that have done Buhner, we all have adjusted it. It is good to read a book that is easy to read also.
