Hi everyone. I have been on amox. After week one I actually felt better than I have in a while. I added in stevia extract. Now I seem to be herxing. I’ve seen some recommendations for alka seltzer gold. I don’t have that but I’ve got picot (like gold). As much as this sucks I don’t want to take this if it’ll slow killing off Lyme. What’s recommended for herxing that won’t slow killing the Lyme and other things.

Appreciate all the help! I plan a detox bath shortly (Epson salt).

You can order alka seltzer gold via amazon. Dr Horowitz recommends it with lemon water. Can chase with liposomal glutathione as well, that is supposed to really help. Burbur, pinella, red root are also good options to try out.

One method I've found particularly helpful in my case is infrared sauna.

Binders also can really help. This includes things like activated charcoal, chlorella, modified citrus pectin, bentonite clay. Usually most of these binders need to be taken away from other meds/supplements.

Hope you feel better soon!

You want to detox if you are herxing.

Herxing isn't the main objective and it's not necessarily good for the body.

You want to reduce inflammation and lower your dose of meds until you're back to baseline health.

Detox:

Take a short walk or just get outside for a minute to breathe fresh air, dry brush, sauna, hot/cold shower, rest, take whatever supplements reduce inflammation and assist detox pathways, eat a really clean diet--no inflammatory foods, castor pack, and reduce wifi exposure.

Good luck!

what is picot?


The detoxing doesn't slow the 'killing off lyme". The detoxing helps remove the toxins created by the die-off of bacteria.

Some detox suggestions:

Warm (not hot) epsom salt baths are great.
Dry brush your skin prior to bathing/showering.
Take alka seltzer gold
Light exercise - even a short walk...and/or yoga
Take a binder - take it a few hours away from antibiotics, herbals, food...so it doesn't flush them out of your system along with the toxins.
Try Nutramedix Pinella
Try Nutramedix Burbur
Try Jernigan's Neuro AntiToxII - CNS/PNS
