So I started taking food grade diatomaceous earth recently and last night I was feeling extra crappy so I uped my dose before bed to a full heaping table spoon. Well for the first time in a long time I slept like a rock. Solid sound sleep. However I woke up soaking wet with sweat even though it was freezing in my room ... I don't know what that means any input?

Watch for constipation with DE, as it absorbs things in the digestive track, including all the fluid!

The drenching sweats can be from Babesia - it's a hallmark symptom.

And the sleeping soundly could be from your body just being so tired that it finally had to sleep soundly, or - more likely in my opinion- the DE absorbed a bunch of toxins and your symptoms were then relieved enough to allow you to get some of that much needed rest.

Funny you should post this...I was putting together my DE drink last night wondering if I should increase from my usual 1 tsp dosage. I have been at 1 tsp for weeks now, but I think it is time to increase.

Sounds like it packed a punch on those little buggers! Drenching sweats can be related to babesia and can come when herxing with treatment. I always view D earth as part of a detoxing regimen and detoxing is essential with babesia. Not to mention all the other crud that you can eradicate with D earth -like parasites/worms etc!

While not confirmed if I have babesia I have treated (attempted) with various abx and herbs and I have never produced a night sweat that's why I found it interesting. I'm not complaining at all il take a night sweat and a good sleep anyday.

Lyme mom in my opinion you should be ok to increase. I spent 3 days at 1tsb 3 days 2 tsp then 1 tablespoon now I so 1 tablespoon at night and one in the morning

Oh I am definitely going to begin increasing, starting tonight! My LLMD thinks I have both Bart and Babs, I had drenching night sweats for a while after the bite, but only twice since then -when I started Doxy for the first time. And I was on Buhner's protocol for babs for weeks and never had any returning babs symptoms.
