I am planning to do a pre-cleanse. From my understanding, doing these periodically helps prevent herxing. I am also aware that it's healthy to remove toxins from the body, I suppose that goes without saying, lol... but please tell me if there are other reasons to detox. For example, is it easier on the liver if a person detoxes regularly, or what can you tell me of the advantages?

Actually, the cleanses -or detoxing as we usually say - is necessary during the whole time you are in treatments. As the Lyme bacteria die off, they put off toxins that make our symptoms increase (sometimes dramatically) and can make it very dangerous for some people.

The body is very good at healing when it's given the right tools to do so with these infections - detoxing is one of those tools. While the body can heal when it's dealing with toxins, it won't heal as well or as quickly if it's dealing with a lot of toxins (which it does during Lyme treatments) than if you are able to keep the toxin load down - then the body can put more energy towards healing instead.

Thanks Traveler. Can you or anyone else provide me with a link or links to pages that outline the cleansing methods/preps most suitable to healing from Lyme?

You can find a very good list in our own "New to Lyme" Start here!" thread that sits at the top of the forum!!

Most detox teas are expensive, like Clipper, Yogi and Puka. The main ingredient is often nettles. That can one buy cheap in bulk or get by yourself in nature. It's good for the liver and cleanse the blood.
