        Hi. My sister was a missionary in Africa. She picked up brucellosis years ago from eating contaminated goat. She still gets horrific flare-ups. Its extremely debilitating for her.

        I was wondering if you know of anything to help her. Thank you so much.

          Brucellosis is caused by the bacterium Brucella abortus. It causes abortion in cattle and other ruminants and is a federally controlled/reportable disease in livestock.

          The reason it’s so problematic is that those bacteria live inside the hosts cells so it’s hard for the immune system or antibiotics to get to them. Doctors do antibiotic therapy for 6 weeks and it still comes back at times.

          I’ve never treated it with herbs or with meds as we’ve about got it eradicated from this continent. If I were going to try something herbal, I’d use Immunity Support and BugBuster together and I’d do it 3 times a day for a couple of months taking one day off every couple of weeks.

          Those formulas are here:

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
