Upping detox question

I have noticed that whenever anyone is having symptoms and/or herxing the advice is almost always includes "up your detoxing" - can you give specifics on how to do that?

I know I need to eliminate more (sorry for TMI but I only go once a day). This is what I take every day:

o Eleuthero
o Yogi detox tea
o Apple cider vinegar
o Spirulina
o Lemon water
o Lots of greens
o Green juice
o Gluthione
o Colloidal silver
o Astragalus
o Sun Warrior immune shield
o Wobezyme PS (just started that today)
o High dose vitamin C/magnesium
o Probiotic/prebiotic
o Essential oil mix on soles of feet
o Dry skin brushing
o No alcohol, dairy, gluten, sugar

I like activated charcoal but don't really do it - if I take it in the night I am then up for two hours and prefer the sleep.

What other detoxing can I add? Thanks.

Krimpet,

Thank you. Excellent memory. Yes Burber and Banderol.

I think my issue is that I equate detox with elimination and I am only going once a day. I may take some colosan tomorrow to move things along and get more toxins out.

Thanks!

Ha! That is what made me herx past two days. I will try foot soak. Thanks blueberry.

It looks to me like you are detoxing fine. Detoxing does not get rid of lyme symptoms. Detoxing just gets the toxins out of our body. Lyme symptoms will stay until they are gone.

Heaven knows I had head pain for the dang longest time. It was about the first to come and of course, the last to go. I think mine was brain inflammation and lymph node inflammation pushing back and forth.

As for taking something to help you go, I recommend just plain ole fiber that you eat from foods. Also going regularly once a day is fine and should not pose a problem.

Taking something "to go" can cause a dependency. And then your bowels can get lazy and want that over and over to help them.

The best I can think is that the cat and dog (small one) were roaming all over the property and through the woods and they deposited a tick on the table cloths. Then I came along and picked up all those long flowing table cloths. sheesh.

As for symptoms - oh golly -- it got to be a familiar saying at my house "another symptom." I had so many and so varied. The feeling of a bug crawling on my skin was so annoying. I would slap myself many times a day.

My husband asked me why I was holding my bicep. I said, "it feels like you hit me there." He asked me to use another description. LOL!! We really began joking about the symptoms. We had to. It was what got me through them. And his hugs when the symptoms were so unbearable that I would cry. Those were the head pains. I honestly was so afraid of what I would do because those head pains were more than I could handle at times.

I took some test about my symptoms once and it was depressing because I had so many. When I look back at my journal I just shake my head..... what a mess I was.

Hang in there, you are doing great!!

I don't think there is mild lyme disease. It just plain ole stinks with so many weird symptoms.

My husband is awesome. He and I have a very happy house with a lot of laughter.

Now we are both a couple of retired kids. We went to a lake today and found driftwood to use as bats and hit rocks into the lake. His went farther but probably would have been caught by a good outfielder. Mine were solid base hits. LOL!! See, that kind of humor.

I better go cook his dinner.

Tonight zucchini made into stripes with my potato peeler and spaghetti sauce with bison burger in it.

Our spaghetti without the pasta
