Why We Love Neem – Broad Spectrum Microbial Balance
Why We Love Neem – The Babesia Link, Less Famous but More Gentle
In my experience Neem is less prone to causing side effects than wormwood and thus I will often recommend Neem in the nutritional support protocol before utilizing the more famous (albeit also often more harsh) wormwood based support. This is a lesson I have learned from the harsh experience of helping many sick people over the past decade of clinical practice. Using Neem before using Chinese Wormwood is my general rule when helping a patient with chronic tick borne illness as it seems to help in a much more gentle way. Many chronically ill patients cannot handle a rough therapy with many side effects when they are already so run down. I theorize the reduced side effects of neem have to do with some of its hepatoprotective effects whereas wormwood can be conversely hard on the liver[28].
