Introduction to Herbal Babesia Treatment 0:00
Hi, Doctor Hinchey here. I'm going to talk to you about herbal interventions for healing the Babesia. So let's dive right in. Basically, I'm going to compare and contrast an acute bbca infection with chronic babesiosis. And we're going to be looking at the various cytokines that are released and how this can alter a shift in the immune system when we're dealing with a chronic infection. And then finally, we're going to actually look at where the particular herbs are going to intervene here. So it's a little bit technical, but I'm sure you can all follow along.
And I just want you to get the general principle here. So with an acute bbca infection, the innate immune system is going

to stimulate an increase in two cytokines interleukin 12 and interleukin 18. And now these two cytokines are going to stimulate the production of natural killer cells. Natural killer cells are a very important immune cell that help your body to fight infections. And so the natural killer cells are going to do two things. Number one, it is going to increase interferon gamma which is going to eventually help to turn arginine into nitric oxide. The natural killer cells also stimulate the release of inductively nitric oxide synthase, which is an enzyme that is going to convert arginine into nitric oxide.
So then we have the release of nitric oxide. It surrounds the red blood cell or the endothelial cell, which is where BCR loves to live. And it kind of blows it up in this gaseous sort of cloud. Now in a chronic BCR infection we have the B cells stimulating the release of interleukin ten and interleukin four. Interleukin ten is going to increase levels of transformative growth factor beta, which is going to stimulate the release of all or nothing. And this overall is going to support parasite reproduction.
IL ten is also going to stimulate the release of an enzyme called arginine. And remember enzymes break down other things. So arginine is going to break down or degrade arginine. And if we're breaking down the arginine we're not going to have that substrate to convert into nitric oxide.
Herbs That Restore Immune Balance 2:30
Now interleukin ten is also going to decrease the production of interleukin 18 and interleukin 12. And then this in turn shuts down the natural killer activity and the production of interferon gamma. This is going to further inhibit the production of nitric oxide. Now I want to show you where the herbs intervene here in this scenario. So first if we bring in ashwagandha, one of my favorite immune balancing herbs. And now you finally get to see why ashwagandha is actually going to block IL ten. And it's going to increase the production of IL 12, which is going to unblock the inhibition of natural killer cell production and interferon gamma.
And then because we're decreasing IL ten, we're also going to decrease the production of arginine, the enzyme that breaks down arginine. Then we bring in red sage which is going to increase the production of induct double nitric oxide synthase. Plus we have unblocked the natural killer cells. So now this enzyme can work and actually convert the arginine into nitric oxide. Now if we bring in and it doesn't have to be all four of these, it can even be one of these. If we bring in either astragalus, Artemisia annua, red sage or Chinese skullcap.

We're going to further block interleukin four. And then that is going to help to block the TGF beta that all or nothing. And we no longer are supporting parasitic reproduction. Okay. So here is a study that was done and published in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology in 2021. And this study was looking at the various botanical medicines crypto lupus, artemisia, scrotal area, Japanese knotweed and owl cornea. And it showed that they demonstrated an inhibitory effect against Berbizier Duncannon.
So in this study you can see the top two performers here were Chinese skullcap and crypto lapis. So then I put together for you a sample protocol to help someone that has a BCR infection. And so you're looking at doing crypt collapse of 4 to 1 half of a teaspoon three times a day. I'll cornea a fourth of a teaspoon three times a day. Sida acuta a fourth of a teaspoon three times a day.
Sample Babesia Herbal Protocol 5:30
Artemisia annua a fourth of a teaspoon three times a day. Or if you're using just artemisinin extract, which is not what I recommend. I am very passionate about using the whole herb, because the constituents often work synergistically together and have side benefits and actually help to stop side effects. So looking at the whole herb, Artemisia annua, a fourth of a teaspoon three times a day, if you are using artemisinin extract, it would be 200mg three times a day. And if you're using the artemisinin extract it is important to take breaks.
And that's not something that I'm going to get into right now. But you definitely want to rotate it. Ashwagandha a fourth of a teaspoon to half of a teaspoon three times a day. Red sage half a teaspoon three times a day. L-arginine. I will only supplement if the patient shows they are deficient in it. So this is one of the micronutrients that I look at on a white blood cell micronutrient panel. If the patient is deficient, I will supplement with 2000mg, 2 to 3 times a day. And again, that L-arginine is going to give the building blocks to making nitric oxide, which is our body's innate defense.
When dealing with a parasite like the BCA, I like to use a astragalus. A fourth to a half of a teaspoon three times a day. And I usually will not keep someone on astragalus long term, usually for about the first 3 to 4 months, and then milk thistle 200mg three times a day to really help to protect and support the liver and to help with detoxification. Now, obviously this would be in addition to doing all of the background work. You can look at my ten B protocol to understand what I'm talking about, but really it's more like making sure that all of the organs are functioning properly, that you have all of the micronutrients that your body needs, that you are not eating, foods that are acting as poisons, and inflammatory stimulators in the body.
You know, just making sure that that everything else in your body is functioning properly and doing all of the lifestyle modification. So our next slide, I have kind of putting together a treatment for patients that have Borrelia and BCR. And I kind of want to walk you through the thought process here. So using G3, pack to Sol, which is a specialized

studied form of modified citrus pectin to decrease galectin three levels. Because galectin three is going to help these infections break down your cells and migrate through the body, it also stimulates inflammatory cytokines that help these infections live inside of the body, also helps to form biofilms, and decreases natural killer cell production. So we really want to deal with this goal. Act in three level and get it down, by using this G3 impact to solve so that we can inhibit all of these things, break down the biofilms, decrease inflammation, fix the immune system, heal the gut, bind, helps that cause also to bind heavy metals that might be released from the biofilms and encourage healthy collagen production.
So this g three unpacked us all does so much. Secondly, we would use ashwagandha and or astragalus depending. But really the main goal here is to balance t 1 to 2 and help to fix this immune dysfunction. Ashwagandha is also great at inhibiting some of those enzymes that break down the collagen and the extracellular matrix. Okay, then I would use red sage to help to give the body back its innate ability to destroy organisms using nitric oxide, and then using a combination of Japanese knotweed and Chinese skullcap to inhibit the inflammatory cytokines cascade, protecting teeth and endothelial cells again using Japanese knotweed.
Increasing natural killer cells using cats claw, and then using proven antimicrobials like crypto lapis, which is not only antibacterial but anti-parasitic and anti plasmodium, all using sweet anti which is both anti-spyware kido and anti-parasitic. And then Tesol and black walnut because of their antimicrobial activities, if necessary we might need to use some antivirals. My favorite being her tuna Chinese skullcap and I asked us and then obviously we want to use pre and probiotics what other nutrients we need to help to heal the gut.
And we want to make sure that we are supporting our routes of detoxification and elimination. So making sure that we're replenishing deficient micronutrients, eating an anti-inflammatory diet, doing stress reduction, sleep hygiene, gratitude, trying to really work on that mindset and really instilling hope in ourselves, our patients or our loved ones. So I hope that this was helpful to you, and I hope that all of this information has been helpful on your path to healing line. Thank you.
