Hi, just read an article on tiredoflyme recommending modified citrus pectin for detox; I'm doing IV glutathione and vit C, colonics, lemon and gold alkasetser and curcumin pills but apparently isn't enough. Been absent to work these last weeks due to the stabbing pain, would love to hear if the following products has helped anyone on the forum:
1. Citrus pectin
2. St. John's wort vs blue vervain- if my pain is caused by nerve damage, the article says they could help to repair and reduce inflammation. According to my quick research, blue vervain has less side effects, anyone?
3. My ND insist I try the coffee enemas, so many mixed reviews about them, not sure of benefits, I appreciate all the feedback, can't lose my job.

While I've used none of the things you listed, I do know of other members who swear by #1 and #3.

#2 could very well be viable options but I don't recall members mentioning them (that's not to say they didn't ;)

I know you didn't ask but, have you considering dry skin brushing? Epsom salt foot baths that progress to full baths? Alka Seltzer Gold?

Yes I do cd3764, twice a week, thanks.

Can anyone explain how citrus pectin works? Is it a binder? Would it replace clay or activated charcoal? Or is it something else entirely?

mijos81 - when I was at my worst, I was doing the Epsom salt baths almost daily - and now I still doing them 4-5 days per week.
You might want to consider - increasing the frequency.

I don't know about Blue Vervain, but in Buhner's Bartonella book one of the herbs he recommends is Vervain- it's under the section of treating symptom specifics for Fear.
So, I'm thinking maybe it has an effect on the nervous system.

LimeyLyme - Yes, citrus pectin is a binder. I haven't tried it, I am using Activated Charcoal for my binder.

I had also read that article and just started taking one capsule of citrus pectin a day. I have the HLA gene he speaks about which makes it hard to get rid of Lyme biotoxins. I am not sure what the goal dosage is, are you? He states he's up to 6 capsules, 2x day right now. That seems like a lot to me.

I would be thrilled if it would help me sleep better. I will let you know if I notice any improvements.

Kyo07,

Can you please provide more info on the HLA gene? I just got my 23 and me report and would like to know what to check vis-a-vis this and other detox genes.

Girlie, many thanks. I'm using clay so it's good to know what these various things are, it all seems so very overwhelming at times.

LimeyLyme - I did not do 23andme yet but this was a test my doctor had ordered (HLA & MTHFR only). I looked online quick and I believe you can load your raw data into www.mthfrsupport.com for $20 and it will give MTHFR and HLA (plus more I think) info. My specific HLA gene was 15-6-51 which is identified in Chronic Lyme. They recommend taking cholestyramine or something of that nature to bind up toxins. Funny thing is that I don't really herx. I want to do 23andme to see maybe if there's some other part of the picture I'm missing. Let me know what you find out!
