Hi Ashley!
Cynthia Lankenau just published a
case report in the IVC Journal showing it can be done. I've accomplished the same myself. The general strategy to follow is to treat what you're seeing from a Chinese medical perspective (e.g., such as Blood stasis in the upper burner) and then add anti-parasitics that 'pair well' with the herbs used in the main formula. An example is Wormwood (Artemisia, Qing Hao).
Conventional drugs are always there for you if you do not see an improvement. My experience is that holistic medical treatments need to be sustained over a long period of time, say many months, but that is not an issue given their non-toxic nature and the fact that they are making the patient stronger (by dealing with their symptoms and signs) in the process.
Hopefully this basic advice helps you out!
