Ionic Footbath Detoxification

Is anyone with Lyme detoxing with an ionic footbath? If with AMD's footbath, I would like to know that, too. Whichever, please let me know which one and if you've seen any positive results( labs and/or symptom improvement). I've been using one 2x week, one I bought off of Amazon by Better Health Company. A doctor in my area treating people with Lyme approved this one for someone I know who was his patient. Recently, I've listened to You Tube videos on AMD's detox foot bath, very impressive. I've been using mine for about 6 months. I can't say that I've noticed any improvement in my symptoms, but this doesn't mean I'm not detoxing. But then again, maybe my footbath isn't effective. Also, I've been using a good infrared sauna in my home for about 8 months. I'm chemically sensitive, so I know my detox system/liver is impaired.

Yes, I'm taking milk thistle. For sure after I use the sauna. I forget sometimes on off days. I really need to pinpoint what's going on with my detox function. Testing. My allopathic doc will do certain tests I request, but if she doesn't have an account with one of these non insurance covered labs, she probably won't. I've read that you don't want to take supplements that rev up Phase I, if Phase II is the problem and can't detox the chemicals flooding in. That's where the health care professional comes in handy.
I'm sorry you have Lyme, what you've been through. You're fortunate you got right on it. Your chances for recovery are good. Doing anything non abx?

Well, I don't think I got right on it. 14 months - it was definitely chronic and neuro at that time.
many, many symptoms.

I have done Buhner's herbs a few times...first time was prior to diagnosis...I did Buhner's lyme protocol...and then later on, I did some Bart and babesia herbs (Buhner)
For me - they weren't effective...BUT, I am considering adding them back in before I finally wean off abx. (can't hurt)

My babesia protocol also had Artemisinin. And I do take some support herbs/supplements.
