I know I have lyme disease. I have had the rash. I have been taking grapefruit seed extract to open the cysts and have been so ill since I started taking it. nausea, more pain, terrible taste in my mouth, sore throat, feel like i have the flu. I don't know if I am having a herx or the lyme is getting worse. my doctor gave me cipro about 2 wks ago for a uti and I felt so much better. I am seeing a llmd in 2 wks to have lab by igenex and be evaluated. I am so scared and upset. I am so afraid I am going to not get well and be like this forever.

mystery1,

Are you thoroughly detoxing? If you are, then i would cut back to maybe half of the GSE. You may be killing off the microbes at a rate which exceeds your ability to detox the toxins.

I understand your fear and concern, but there definitely is hope. How long have you been sick? How long have you been in self-treatment?

Sounds like a herx. Some people herx the entire time they're being treated, but you may need to cut the dosage down. I'm on GSE and herd bad from it when I increase the dosage.

No one should herx the entire time they are in treatment! smhair That would only serve to add more time in treatment, as the body can't heal nearly as well or fast if it's constantly dealing with an overload of toxins and struggling to just function.

If you are herxing more than 4 or 5 days, it's time to back down the dosage and/or switch to something that your body can deal with!
