So I have been doing coffee enema's for about three weeks now (once daily). They really seem to be helping, sometimes even a immediate relief. Two nights ago I seemed to have a Herx soon after doing the enema.
I did not think much of it or even associate the two together.
Last night I had a massive Herx,(Emergency room kind) about a hour after doing the enema. It really is looking like the enema caused the Herx.
My question is, has anybody else experienced anything like this?
Maybe moving toxins out starts a parade of new toxins to the colon?/ Maybe?

I'm so sorry that you went through that!!

Although I have never done the coffee enema, I have definitely herxed too hard from detoxing!! What you are doing is freeing up the toxins so the body can move them out - but you can free up too many toxins at one time and create herxes.

Maybe you should reduce the use of the coffee enemas and add in a few other types of detox as well? I've found that the if I use several different types of detoxing methods, I have good results.

Thanks Traveler!
I actually was doing Epsom salt baths right after doing the Coffee enema's, maybe too much at once.
Although I have not done the Epsom salt baths in over a week. I am thinking every other night for each.

I don't feel good when I do too many CE's for several weeks.

Just be careful not getting dehydrated: you can make a hydrating drink yourself or buy a sport's drink, or drunk coconut water.
I tend to dehydrate very quickly and feel very bad whenever I do.

I would slow down a bit and explore other detox methods. I don't detox well, and for me too, CE's give me instant headache relief. It's tempting to do them as much as possible...

I thought the general consensus was that detoxing (be it epsom salt baths / foot soaks, coffee enemas, etc) alleviated herxes, rather than making them "worse"....???

No. You can herx from detoxing too. Unfortunately, many of us herx from all kinds of things.

Our bodies have become extremely sensitive.

Be careful with coffee.

I get really sick from coffee, but it's from the coffee itself, not from a herx.

Detoxing is good, as long as you don't go hog wild.

LOL!

It's the same toxins that Lyme has created, it's just that they were being stored in the tissues (muscles, organs). Certain detoxing methods can release these toxins into the blood stream from where they are bound up in tissues too quickly and the blood can become overwhelmed with toxins causing a herx from detoxing for some people. This is why we always suggest using several different methods for detoxing.

I made a concoction that has been working pretty well when my pipes stop running...

It does requires a blender or magic bullet...

Kombuchu gingerade 1/8 cup
plain organic yogurt 1/4 cup
blueberries 1/4 cup
1 apple
1 grapefruit
1 banana
fresh ginger half teas

I lay down for an hour or so after drinking... and then... well
*It has been working Extremely well for me so far.
I realize that we all can react differently... i just thought i would share this as an option to try.

It might work even better with more citrus fruits. I always feel so hungry afterwards... like i am craving starchy food to fill me back up... but i don't give in to that... i just drink lots more water!
