Herxing really bad, is there anything that I can do?

Sonne, what else are you doing for detox?

Yes, detox tea is good. Just don't drink a gallon of it to start....have a cup...then a couple hours later another cup. What are the ingredients?

Are you having warm epsom salt baths? Those are good. If you don't have the epsom salts yet, then have the warm baths anyway.

Do you drink lots (8 glasses) of water every day? Add fresh lemon juice into some of them? (Use a straw not to damage your teeth)

Don't do everything all at once. Start with the lemon juice in water...and your tea, and warm baths.

Then tomorrow buy some epsom salts if you don't have them...and have a warm bath...but don't stay in very long to start...just 5 minutes...and increase your time slowly.

Buy a natural bristle brush and start dry brushing your body before your baths.

You can buy Nutramedix Burbur and Brain-Nerve Cleanse - I find they work really well for herxing.

You can also buy a binder - like Activated Charcoal. But, it must be taken away from meds and supplements - two hours on either side.

Are you taking probiotics to keep your gut healthy? And are you taking milk thistle seed extract to support your liver? That's important too.

In the "New to Lyme?..Start Here.." thread at the top of the page, there's a list of detox methods...you can take a look there, too.

So, not a hot bath, a nice warm bath....and make sure you buy epsom salts tomorrow if you can...and maybe start with a 1/2 cup.

I only use about a cup in my baths...some people use a few cups.

Drinking water is crucial...so start that, today, too. Do you have any lemons? If not, maybe buy some tomorrow, too..or whenever you go shopping next.

And probiotics, must take those....

So regularly - and every day if possible start as soon as you can:
1. Warm epsom salt baths. (start low amount and don't stay in too long to start)
2. Water, water, water - add lemon to some.
3. Probiotics
4. Milk thistle seed extract (can get capsules)

Then you could purchase these:

5. Buy Pinella Burbur and Brain-Nerve Cleanse
6. Buy natural bristle brush.

Others will be along with some other ideas, too, I'm sure.

I also use the Activated charcoal to bind the toxins and take them out of my body.

You could also try lowering the dose until you can tolerate it.

HELLO!! :) :)

Margaret, 53, Lyme, relapsing remitting c. diff., complete thyroidectomy, remote breast cancer, Interstitial Cystitis, Babs, Bart, Fibromylagia, Immuneglobulin Deficiency, depression, asthma and allergies, migraines, myoclonous and remote seizures, orthostatic hypotension and dysautonomia

Medication, herbs, vitamins, probiotics.

I purchase my Nutramedix Pinella and Burbur from IHerb.

I find they work for me. I'm still waiting for my Alka seltzer gold...I can't get it in Canada, and twice trying to buy it online from the States, it was sold out...so hoping it comes with my order that I'm waiting for.

Does Walgreens have a pharmacy section? If so, they should have epsom salts.

Also, what Teregram said - if with detoxing, you are suffering bad from the herx, you can also lower your antibiotics for a few days...until you feel better...
