I know this seems silly and a bit ridiculous but I just wanted to brag a bit about the fact that I took my first detox bath this evening since 2021! I haven't been able to tolerate any form of detox and I did it with 1/8th of a cup of epsom salts. I was doing so awful earlier this afternoon, I just said "screw it" and did it. I admittedly felt a bit worse until 5-10 minutes in, it felt a bit more relaxing. I came out being dizzier than before, but it's not the worst thing I've been through. I react to damn near everything and am trying to prepare myself for a sprinkle of activated charcoal so I can start removing these trichothecenes from my system. I'm hoping I can get myself there soon enough, it's just fear and the dealing with symptoms that's holding me back. It's not like it will just make me magically feel better. That is why I have not taken anything since late 2021. Back then I was on chlorella and that caused me hell for many months. This time, I'e got a better plan. Just wanted to post this and put out some positivity into the world. Could really use the support though!

I hope you are all doing well today. Let's spread the love.

It’s not silly! Glad to hear it worked out.
I found the Epsom baths made me feel better right away - as soon as I got into the bath. And would last for a few hours afterward.
I used very warm water -not hot.
It soothed my upper back pain.

Not silly at all, it's actually a huge next step for some of us on here. I'd actually feel like it's a victory to be celebrating bt that's just me lol.

Thank you all so much for the kind words. I am feeling a little better today, so maybe for me it takes a day... or several to actually calm the reaction, who knows. I have to keep in mind that I am still IN the moldy home and I am doing my best with this purifier I have. I am doing my best, for now. Soon enough, hopefully by the middle of this year, I will be in a new home and maybe I will be able to gain relief even faster. Until then, your support means a lot. I just have to remember that healing happens and that one day, this will all be a memory. Or maybe if I am lucky, that will be the one bad thing my moldy-Lyme-brain forgets lol.

I'm in a moldy home as well and can't just up and leave . The best thing I've done ro get rid of 95% of the mold was spraying tilex which basically dissolves the mold ( no scrubbing or wiping needed, just rinse and it dissappear before your eyes after a while of leaving it on). It helped tremendously. I know theres only so much we can do if we can't move. My llmd says taurine (an amino acid) is great for pulling black mold from our bodies, I haven't tried it yet.
