I read a strory recently about how someone had a problem were they werent getting better cause they had a genetic thing that prevented proper detoxification? anyone know more about this?
the story wasnt very explanatory or helpful. but the info was cool and interested me cause ive been told a couple times that my remaining symptoms are likley the result of left over toxins and an accidentaly too high dose of the herbs i was taking. I think I am in a couple month long herx at the moment. So naturaly something about difficulty detoxing and a way to fix that interested me.

Yes, unfortunately I have the MTHFR gene mutation with the C677? Whatever it is. My doctor ran the test to see and now I have to take methyl B-12 and methylfolate. I also do the detox baths about every day, milk thistle and cur cumin several times a day and drink lots of lemon water.

Go to MTHFR.net to learn more. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have the MTHFR gene too. Homozygous (2 copies) of the C677T gene. I believe w/out insurance the test is above $99 from LabCorp or otherwise covered by insurance.

While the gene mutation (as Revive spoke of) is very real, there is a great lie that is being told though about what we deal with being just "left over toxins" and too high a dose of herbs - unless you went way overboard and were told that by a Herbalist that really knew what they were talking about.

If you heard those things from anyone other than a well-trained LLMD and a well trained/highly experienced Herbalist, I would question it.

Well, that just sounds like something I'd do!! smhair I'm glad you are okay!

You can do the detoxing like is suggested in our "New to Lyme?" thread, including lots of things that make you sweat like saunas, and include detoxing foods in your diet to help your body eliminate more toxins.

There are also things like activated charcoal and other "binders" that you could use.
