Hi folks, just a quick update and some followup questions...

Waiting to hear back from my MD about setting up a blood test, but still fairly certain Lyme will be revealed. I'm still taking the Doxy 150mg once a day as directed by my dermatologist. I've also started taking olive leaf.

My first question is regarding dosage--is it dangerous to be taking the low dose of Doxy? Also, does anyone have experience with olive leaf that can recommend a dosage? I can't seem to find anything online.

Does anyone have any advice about epsom salt soaks? Is that something I should be doing in conjunction with the olive leaf and doxy?

Last question, hopefully not TMI....Any advice about enemas? My mom followed the Gerson guidelines with coffee enemas when she was recovering from kidney cancer. I've heard that enemas are a great way to detox. I'm just curious to hear about anyone who has performed enemas for Lyme.


Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance! you guys rock!

150 mg once daily is too low to treat Lyme.
You might want to stop it prior to testing....let your immune system kick in again.
Olive leaf will help with that.


I'm sorry - I don't know the dosage...but people have used the Olive leaf prior to testing to help provoke an immune response to get a positive test result.


Epsom salts are great for detoxing. detoxing will help flush out the toxins created from the die-off of bacteria. If you get an overload of toxins...you will herx..which results in a ramping up of current symptoms...and/or new symptoms appearing.

Start the Epsom salt baths - slowly...just stay in the WARM (not hot) tub for maybe 5 minutes...you can increase over time.

Enemas are also a great way to detox.
I haven't done the enemas, but do the detox baths often...they make me feel good.

When dosing herbals, it is different for everyone. I would though start very slowly. If you have tincture, start with a drop or two. If it's a capsule, take 1/3 of it. Olive leaf can pack a punch for some and remember we are all different.

The coffee enemas are amazing for me, days I'm hurting can be made livable within minutes.

It's less, ummm weird ?, using the home kit with special organic coffee.

I just prefer to do this one on my own at home lol.

Hi Zach,

Even though I have been healed for years I continue to do coffee enemas and not for lyme but to keep myself healthy. Why? Without getting too gross sludge gets stuck in there so as preventative medicine I do a coffee enema about once a week. I use organic coffee and I feel better after doing it. Removes toxins and that sludge which accumulates just from living every day life even though I try to eat as organic as possible.

I think your Mom was very smart to do them and follow Gerson's therapy.

As far as Epsom salts baths, I do them all the time (mixed with 3% hydrogen peroxide) also as preventative medicine to remove toxins to keep my immune system strong. I dry skin brush first.

I don't know a lot about Doxy except it made me very sick to my stomach so I stopped it and turned to alternative medicine which helped me.

Hope this helps!

Thank you Denise!

I'm so happy to hear that you are healed and that alternative medicine was successful for you. I'm continuing to take the low dose of doxy in addition to olive leaf and high doses of Vitamin C as well as apple cider vinegar and doing charcoal and DE detoxing with Epsom salt soaks and coffee enemas.

I've heard such mixed reviews about the enemas but I have to say even just after a few days of doing them regularly I feel much more energetic and "clean." So I'll definitely be keeping it up. I'll have to look into the dry skin brushing.

Thanks again. Seriously you guys blow my mind with your insight and kindness. It's much appreciated.

Cheers.

Zach, dry skin brushing is awesome. It exfoliates the dead skin off and stimulates the skin to do its job as our largest organ on our body.

One of the best lymphatic stimulation is dry skin brushing. The lymph system sometimes needs help to eliminate toxins. So dry skin brushing just helps it move the toxins along and out of the body.

To start you can just use a dry wash cloth and brush towards your heart. You will find that a long handle natural bristle brush reaches better.

Then take a nice shower to rinse off.

Hi Zach, Ive been doing coffee enemas and i know it does my body good, based on how i feel. I believe it is one of the best detoxing protocols around. best to do a water enemA first, then the coffee enema, then finish w another water enema.

If you have questions or are in need of advice just holler and im sure someone knowledgeable is sure to come and help 😊
