Traveler shared with me that 60 ounces of lemon water everyday is good for Lyme people to drink. Assist in being more Alkaline which the bugs don't like as much. Another one is doing some exercise & then go into a infrared sauna. Moves things out of the muscles and Good to sweat things out.

Question: Are there any other suggestions along these lines of doing things that would be good to do too?

Yes - there are lots of other detoxing methods

- warm epsom salt baths (my favorite)
- Take a binder - such as Activated Charcoal...or Bentonite clay
- Assisting the liver - eg Milk thistle extract
- Gut support - probiotics
- dry brushing your skin before your bath/shower


Here's a website with some great suggestions:

You will want to add them in gradually - i.e. one new method every few days...

Thank you Girlie....When you take your Epsom salt bath, do you add Hydrogen Peroxide too? Heard it works good together. What is your opinion?

I don't do the hydrogen peroxide...I did at first...but I didn't notice a difference...

Yes, many people do both.

I may not have used enough...you're supposed to use something like a bottle (small) each time...or maybe even more...can't remember what it says in the "New to Lyme?... thread about it.

I can only do the foot soak, so doesn't take as much hydrogen peroxide. I did feel a difference, but I have to wonder if the variables of our individual toxin loads and where they are at, as well as our own chemical make up, makes the difference.

It would be a good experiment, even if you limited it to a foot soak.

Girlie, Question for you. You said above that the warm epsom salt bath was your favorite. Just wondering why this is your favorite.

Julymorning I will do the foot soak first. Can I ask how many times did you do the foot soak before you noticed a different?

Thanks to both of you.

Some things that helped me:
*come here daily to give support and receive support - take breaks when needed
*journal what is going on - take breaks when needed
*listen to your body carefully and adjust things on a day to day basis
*mindfulness/meditation/prayer - something to feed your soul/spirit - whatever works for you!
*good sleep hygiene: go to bed and get up at the same time, electronics off at least an hour before bedtime, no big meals after 5:00 pm if you have gnarly sleep issues
*I don't take epsom salt baths any more because of old pipes, but LOVED them. I found a recipe for 1 cup baking soda 1 cup aloe vera juice 1 cup sea salt 1 cup epsom salt. I felt somehow this got deeper in my body somehow. Now I do epsom salt foot soaks.
*cut back on activity. I find people often say yes to more than is balanced. Learn to say no.
*weed out your friend garden. A daily effort to keep negativity and energy suckers out of your life.
