How many have tried the detox bath?

Hi almost,

Glad you saw your GP yesterday.  Did your doctor tell you why he didn't think detox baths were not a good idea? 

Did you ask him how toxins are removed from our bodies (lyme or no lyme)?  That we live in a toxic world, eat toxic foods, breathe toxic air, exposure to different types of molds, and the list goes on.

I no longer have lyme and I took a 45 minute detox bath last night (extra long, yeah) because I was out shoveling lots of snow many times and my body was telling me to take that bath!  I felt so good afterward..  Magesium does my body good!   Epsom salts are a form of magnesium and relaxed my muscles and back so much!!

haha lol peel off your skin?

I do want to emphasize that you want to use 3% H202 not food grade for the baths unless you are using a capful vs a bottle full.

I enjoyed the detox baths and they never hurt my skin. That is a really wacky thing for a doctor to say....folks do put h202 on cut to clean it and it doesn't peel your skin...

Do you have a skin condition?

Did he bother to give you any other suggestions on how to detox, or just knock the one that you spoke about?

Considering very few doctors have any clue about detoxing, that's a pretty bold statement by your doc! Sounds like he shouldn't have commented. According to what he said, I'd have no skin left at all!

Detox baths have saved me more times than I can count!!! And the dry skin brushing (which is highly recommended by many health professionals and many of us do also) would be more "abusive" to the skin - but only if it's not done properly!!!

Once again, I'm afraid this is an uneducated doctor speaking of things they know little to nothing about.

Actually, it does dry my skin, but who cares? The benefits are so great, it's absolutely worth it. When I started adding ginger to the bath, I noticed significant improvement in pain.

It even relieved pain I had from a tetanus shot, and that could be major pain.

I make a tea/infusion with ginger (and just started adding cinnamon), and noticed even greater improvements. I drink the tea, and add it to the bath.

I thought even doctors prescribed Epsom-Salt baths, but he probably didn't like the skin brushing (and hydrogen peroxide, of course).

Make sure the bath isn't hot though! It has to be lukewarm, or you will get sick. Go slow, and titrate all of the ingredients up gradually. Start out with 5 minutes, then move to 10, etc. Otherwise, you'll herx from the detox!

The baths are great.

AlmostMedFree, Detox baths are not exclusive to the Lyme community. Cancer patients have been using them for ages.

As a matter of fact, many of the detox treatments that are recommended here used by cancer patients.

Here is a link to a nice article that describes the use of detox methods used here and elsewhere:

I would use Epsom Salts though if you could, bc you need the magnesium. There's no way, your skin is going to peel off!

My Fibro. doc., who didn't believe in Lyme, actually suggested the detox baths himself.

My daughter was unable to make ANY progress in alleviation of symptoms until she started to take the detox baths. The progress was accelerated when we added the Ionic Foot Detox Bath to her regimen. The FIR sauna is another excellent way to detox. The 3 methods combined together form a powerful triad for detoxification.

Margaret, I've got to ask - what does the cinnamon do for the bath???
