Hi,

es überaktiviert den Teil des Immunsystems, welcher eh durch die Spirochäten überschießend reagiert. In Folge können Borreliose-Symptome gefördert werden, welche durch autoimmunes Geschehen verursacht sind.

The reason for not recommending it is that astragalus raises the parts of the immune system that are overactivated in chronic lyme. Those parts of the immune system are highly effective against lyme early on and help prevent or reduce the disease but if they are low to begin with and you are infected the infection can spread more easily. After awhile the immune system does ratchet up those parts to attack the lyme bacteria but by then the spirochete has altered itself and is no longer very affected by them, those parts of the immune system then begin to cause some of the lyme symptoms people have making the disease a kind of autoimmune problem.

Why is astragalus contraindicated in chronic lyme?
