Hi
I am 5 months into Cowden protocol & a lot of old symptoms have come back to bite me on the butt. It is like I am rewinding all the years in a matter of months. I have had some symptoms that have come back much worse since I started treatment after living for years without them. I thought it was the badness coming out through the feet & rash on hands. I have been reading old threads & some say this is a herx. I thought a herx would almost leave me confined to bed where I am coping pretty well even while they are at their worst. I am feeling very good compared to 5 months ago but I am curious, is it a herx or the infections coming to say "goodbye"?
Thanks in advance
Mary

One of the things I've read over and over again is that before we get better, more often than not, we will feel worse. I guess it depends on dosage, where the body is at, detoxing as to how much discomfort one will feel.

From reading and personal experience, if the herx is too much, then one might need to slow down or take time off of meds/herbals.

Thankfully you are functional and NOT bed bound!!!! Hang in there. Oh, and I'm not positive but it could be both, herx and inf. saying see ya!
