CAN'T DETOX AT ALL ANYMORE; nothing's working!

Margaret,
It would be wise for you to stop all treatments and talk to that ND that we talked about to see if they know anything about the need to detox. If they don't, I'll be happy to help you all I can, but I really don't know much - only what I had to learn to get my own body detoxing.

After my abx use (& failure to heal) back in 2007, I spent a long time detoxing, then when I first started with my practitioner that helped me to heal from Lyme & company the 1st time, all we did was detoxing and balancing body functions for 6 months before I ever started any kind of treatments.

teragram,

I am sorry to hear of your difficulty in detoxing. I have a suggestion that addresses your problem.

Every detoxing method that you are using is fully dependent upon your body's ability to release the toxins. They are good detoxing methods, but not the most effective for a person that has impaired detoxification pathways. Most of the people that go to the Hansa Center have that kind of problem as well. I believe that is why they use energetically based methods of detoxification at the clinic. These methods "draw" the toxins out of the body, and are not dependent upon the body's ability to detox as the methods that you are using do.

Do you have access to a FIR sauna and/or Ionic Foot Detox Bath? We have found these methods to be superior over the other methods that you mentioned from our personal experience. Personally I favor the Ionic Foot Detox the most. Also cold lasers are also used to stimulate detoxification in a way that bypasses the detox pathways. You have a problem that can be solved, although some people cannot use the FIR sauna because they don't sweat!

Well, as I've said before, you are much too kind.

So I was very, very careful about allowing toxins into my body. *Only deodorant and it was the crystal one
*no fluoride -I used baking soda
*no shampoo- I used baking soda
*no conditioner -I used coconut oil once or twice a week overnight then shampoo out
*as clean of a diet as possible with no cheating, green smoothies with spinach, parsley, and cilantro.
*Daily dry skin brushing
*3 - 5 times a week I would use the foot Epsom Salt/peroxide soaks
*a minimum of 64 ounces of lemon water a day


That's all I can think of right now- sorry. I'm sure more will come back though.

Yes, baking soda for washing my hair! LOL! I told you I went unconventional!

Lemon could contribute to GERD, you'll have to make that decision. I would suggest that you start drinking 1 - 3 cups of ginger tea a day to help with your GERD/digestion. That's what my doc has me doing and it's done wonders now that I have been doing it daily for a while now!

No, I did not use the full body detox soaks. It released too many toxins into my blood stream and I herxed badly. I could use the foot soaks frequently though and they helped keep me going.

Are you using your sauna? That's supposed to be an excellent means of removing toxins!

I did air purifiers and was amazed at the difference. I def. couldn't afford a $300 one though! I got one at lowes for $150 and then after I saw how well it worked I got 2 new ones at an auction for $15. I'm sure Craigslist might have some affordable one's too.

Making a running list of things to order.

I think the crystal deodorant has aluminum salts in it! Plus, underarms have a lot of lymph nodes, unfortunately for sweaty, stinky creatures like us!

M

Oohh.

I'll put it on my list!

Wow, you got my post fast!

I got a super air purifier that pulls toxins out of the air. You use it with the windows shut. They are small so easy to handle and about $300. It really helps with breathing.

I believe that amino acids help pull out ammonia. I've read that you shouldn't take just one at a time, so like a complex works best. I buy a protein powder at the health food store and throw it in a smoothie. I think this is also good for detoxing the liver.

Can you do a lymphatic drainage massage?

What brand of air purifier do you have?

Hey blue,

I just ordered bentonite clay, but it's the liquid solution, for consumption, not bathing.

Louise, I have Idilys.

Margaret

Where didya get it? Is it energy star? Idylis isn't, but I wish it were.

Thx!!

Yucca Root powder pulls ammonia out of the body through the bowels.

Once a week, take a large glass of water with some charcoal and magnesium tablets - this is a "magnesium flush" and helps to bind up and help the ammonia get out of your body.

If you try complete protein powder, add yucca root powder to compensate for the amino acids getting converted into ammonia. L-Ornithine is the specific amino acid that pulls ammonia out of the brain.

Chelators - mobilize toxins. Systemic enzymes, EDTA, Alpha Lipoic Acid, etc. are chelators

Binders - grab the toxins so they aren't re-absorbed once they've been "chelated" out of hiding. Binders include chlorella, modified citrus pectin, apple pectin, charcoal, bentonite, diatomaceous earth, etc.

Need both, or else you're just flushing $$ down the toilet...

Methylation:

It's more than just MTHFR. There are about 30 SNP's that are involved. Any variant can lead to problems detoxing. Deplin only supports MTHFR, but you may need to deal with other variant SNP's as well before you see results.

Great info. Georgia and Razzle. I know my doc. used to give me Deplin, which is lmethylfolate. I e didn't know there were more mutations to address. I have chlorella, and I ordered yucca, but I don't have the other stuff. Will order! Trav., I thought crystal deoderants had alum salts, which is aluminum? Also, what to do about soap? Is plain lye soap bad? And finally, Trav., do you eat organic only? When I tried to do that, my grocery bill doubled.

I will order the other stuff. Trying to figure out how to filter bath water, as it smells like chlorine, but my bathtub and shower are separated.

Thx all for ur great advice. M
