Herx on Just Detox?

Hi guys,

So as an update per my last post, I went ahead and met with a LLMD. Wow is she smart. She diagnosed me as Lyme with Bartonella and Babesiosis. We are waiting for those blood results now, but she is convinced. The week before I met with her, I had a Lymphatic Drainage massage performed and felt nothing in the days after. When I told her this as well as how severe my symptoms were getting and how quickly she immediately said she felt that we needed to approach detox first, have my body fully functioning on the detox side before treating/killing the lyme and the other two.

Two days after seeing her, I lost 80% mobility on my left side. I couldn't lift my arm, hand was purple and couldn't grasp. My left leg was ice cold all day, couldn't move my toes and had minimal circulation. It was like the entire left side of my body quit working. I had previously been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder where you are collagen deficient. This wouldn't be a huge deal except all of your veins and joints are made from collagen and so in the largest vessel of your heart, the aorta. They started looking for a blood vessel abnormality. I ended up being admitted and after four days, symptoms resolved on their own and told to come back if it happened again. I guess my first questions is has anyone dealt with that?

Tomorrow marks the first week of detox and I am having a tough time. Mentally I can focus on what is right in front of me better, but that is doing nothing for the short term memory or comprehension. Splitting headaches, clumsiness, feeling of falling/spinning, weakness in every muscle and joint, and most recently since I have started detox much worse muscle control. I have also started having tremors in both hands. The pain in my mid and lower back is nauseating and I am completely exhausted all the time. Noise and light are still my worst enemy. The other odd concern is this is the week of mother nature and rather than having a cycle, there was a large purple/gray mass that passed instead with hardly anything else that was approximately 3x3 inches.

I messaged the LLMD who wants me to stop detox immediately and wait to get back to a baseline and start slower on it. However she isn't sure if this is the coinfections and Lyme getting worse, or just the detox. I 100% do not want to stop the detox. I'd rather cut dosing back 1/2 way than to stop it completely. I am taking Juice Plus Fruit in the am, Juice Plus Veggie at night. Lymphomax, urinary detox, bowel detox, liver detox, super omega 3, and just got Cytoquel and the treatment for the Babesiosis. However, we haven't started the actual treatment of either.

Anyone have more insight to shed on stopping completely rather than cutting back? Should I be feeling this poorly just a week on detox or deteriorating? And anyone experience partial paralysis or been discussed for Parinauds Syndrome?

And, yes for some of us detoxing too much, too soon - can make us feel worse...if you dump a ton of toxins into your bloodstream...and they aren't eliminated fast enough.

Did you start these things relatively quickly and close together? You may be overwhelming your body with toxins - meaning that the toxins are being release from the tissues faster than the body can process them out. I've had this happen to me more than once.

This is generally because we have gene mutations, but multiple infections and other factors can cause it too.

This article will likely explain it better than I can:
