I was wondering if you all use a combination, and if there's anything you particularly like.

Also, I'm wondering if what I've been doing is good enough:

lemon water all day every day
Burbur tincture
chlorella (when I remember)
dry skin brush every day
cruciferous veggies like kale (almost daily)

I'm going to try some apple cider vinegar, too. This was on a list for detox that my doc gave me, although it does say that if you have candida issues it can cause a herx. I tested negative for candida, so I thought I'd try it.

I think it really depends on the person. That sounds good to me! Some have detoxing issues, others don't. I thought I did but I really don't. My main issue is making sure I'm err uh 'regular' so long as that is good we are good to go! lol

You could do a sauna if you have a friend that has one (my gym has one)

How are you Bindy?

Hi, opugirl.

Thanks for the input.

I would like to try a sauna, eventually!

I'm hanging in there...taking advantage of the moments when I feel functional, trying to stay positive.

Thanks for asking.

Has anyone had problems with elevated liver enzymes? I started treatment in July with Bicillin injection 2x a wk, azithromycin, and Tinidizole. I was doing great for 2 months then my liver enzymes went thru the roof. I had to stop all oral sntibiotics and they still elevated. Then I had to stop all Supplements and bicillin. The enzymes were coming down slowly and was given the ok to start Bicillin again. Sure enough, the enzymes went back up. My lyme dr wants me to comtinue with detox supplements and my family practitioner wants me to stop everything. I'm torn. I need suggestions how to make my liver happy again. I've been off meds for almost a month and am getting depressed. How long does it take for liver enzymes to calm down? Am i being too impatient?

Lyme sufferer,

You might want to repost this with your own topic line so that people can see it and respond to it in their searches.

There are probably other members here who can answer that question.

Binduspire, Are you using detox soaks at all?

Hi, Traveler.

I haven't done a foot bath in awhile, but I probably should.

My doc also has diatomaceous earth on her detox list. Do you have any experience with this?

Taken internally? If so be careful!! I took 1 tablespoon years ago, and didn't need to visit a bathroom for 3 days!! smhair Ofcourse once my intestines started moving again - I didn't hardly leave the bathroom for 3 days either! shakehead LOL!

It will absorb all kinds of things, so be sure to take it 2 hours after any food, supplements, herbs, meds, medicinal teas, or nutritional drinks. Also be sure to wait until 2 hours after taking the D.E. to eat, drink or take any of those items as well. Otherwise the D.E. will absorb it too and usher it out of the body.

I found binders to be a pain because of the need for a 4 hour time block of not taking anything, but I used them occasionally because they work.

I would encourage you to start doing those detox foot baths at least once a day. It's easy to get one in while you are sitting down at some point in the day- make it a routine thing. I used to do it every morning, immediately after breakfast and again (when I could do 2 in a day) at about 3 pm, when I again sat down in front of my computer to come on here. :-)

Thanks so much, Traveler.

Lol- the diatomaceous earth. It says on my hand-out that it can cause constipation. I might skip this one!

You are right about the foot baths - no reason why I can't totally fit in time to do these.

Thanks so much :)
