The devil is in the details. Most studies are with either whole leaf extracts or with stevioside or steviol only, and few are with the refined commercial product which is much much sweeter than the whole extract. Latter fakes out the brain signals for insulin release, and in people prone to diabetes, akready with hypoglycemia, because of excess poor quality fat and refined carb intake, it is a poor way to help them lose weight or break a sugar addiction. Just like occasional killing the family turkey outdoors on a farm is different than factory slaughterhouses, so an indigenous south American or high fish/vegetable eating Japanese person crushing a stevia leaf into their tea or having a bit of the whole green powder form is SO different than a white refined powder containing only one component. Also stevia sucks up heavy metals so if you buy the whole herb form, you are hard pressed to find a safe one. I might try just growing this, but few people would bother doing so. Let me know if you know safe source of whole powder or dried leaf. Thanks.

Stevia gave me a level 10 herxheimer reaction complete with fever dreams and delirious mumbling and fear. I have a bad headache from all the bacteria dying off from last night but I feel amazing for the first time in years ironically! A hangover I can deal with and a headache I can deal with easily. I am glad to no longer have a brain dead fog! I no longer have a dulled ability to feel emotions or think clearly! I do have fluid retention badly right now and my blood pressure did shoot sky high so it may have done what doxycycline does and increase the concentration of birth control pills in your body! My kidneys will hopefully work again and my liver but I managed to survive the first wave herx and I am feeling great by comparison! I will update any positive or adverse effects! I was having bad vascular disease pain last night and a little today as well so my kidneys or liver may not be that happy at the moment but this does seem to work. I am detoxing my liver next with DMSO and stopping any CYP450 inhibitors I have taken(grapefruit). This may very well be the best Bartonella and lyme disease killer out there.

I’ve read stevia has a molecular structure that is “steroid-like” and some self-described experts don’t use stevia because they fear it may stimulate an inflammatory response. I can find no research to suggest that’s been proven true. What are your thought about this? Thanks.
