I did just foot baths w/ hydrogen peroxide the past 2 night. Not working well. Really needed to detox more today, so I was able to sneak in a detox bath.

Is there any way to make the foot bath more effective?

Absolutely awful today. Wiped out & bloated.

Though it could just be my hellacious week catching up with me.

I have things I really have to do, but I just can't manage them.

Aww, Sayyadina - sorry you're having a rough time.

I don't know about the foot baths...hopefully someone who is familiar with them will chime in.

Have you looked through the detoxing suggestions in the 'New to Lyme?" thread? There are some great suggestions there for things that you can add in like dry mustard and others.

You can add in detoxing clays, activated charcoal and some other things as well.

Are these the suggestions you are looking for?

If the bathtub works for you, you may need to find a way to access another bathtub. Why is your sister, excuse me, "hogging" the bathtub?

Also, make sure you're using plenty of powdered Zeolite, both in any bath, as well as consumed by mouth.

I heard activated charcoal is bad to take when you're taking antibiotics and other supplements.. Anyone have a remark for this?

Good morning Sayyadina.....Try adding some baking soda to your foot bath. Whatever toxins are released through your feet the baking soda will act like a binder and absorb.

I change up my ingredients sometimes and one of my fav foot baths recipes that has made feel better afterwards has been with about 1/4 cup of epsom salt, about a half teaspoon of himalayan sea salt, about 1/5 cup peroxide and about 2 tablespoons of baking soda. I soak for a minimnum of 20 mins. I like to drink a nice cup of Celestial Seasonings chamomile hot tea while soaking w/natural stevia sweetner.

Oh!...and have you heard of dry brushing? If so, do this to the bottom and top of your feet before putting in water and soaking to open up the pores :)

Are you taking lots of probiotics? One of my favorites is kefir due to the very large array of strains of probiotics that it contains - it could very well help any intestinal issues. Otherwise you need to find a probiotic with as many different strains as possible and take large amount of them - 50,000 units isn't out of range at all.

JohnRed,
Any binders (activated charcoal, bentonite clay, cholestyramine and others) will bind to whatever is near it - meds, toxins, food - and usher it out of the body. By taking them 2 hours after and 2 hours before any food, medicines, medicinal teas or tinctures,or any other things that you need in your body will keep that from happening. Essentially you need a 4 hour block of time that you are not eating or taking any thing and you take the binder in the middle of that time period. And you have to drink a ton of water to help avoid constipation.

I take my activated charcoal in the middle of the night when I make my bathroom run. I have it all set up in the bathroom to take every night. It's like clockwork for me, so I never miss a dose doing it this way.

Stress seems to bring us down every time. Do you best to keep the stress as low as you can and see if you can find techniques (yoga, meditation, or a hobby) that can help you de-stress during times of high stress.

Traveler - Thanks, so that's makes it a great detox for the middle of the night. I'm guessing it can help a lot. I'm going to give that a try :).

Sometimes we gotta sneak in everything we can to help us detox!

I say take the activated charcoal (!!) but definitely 2 hours before or after meds and supplements.

Zeolite is also really good, and seems to work even better for me. I get the powdered form.

I still don't quite understand why your sister can't share her bathtub with you. She's your sister! But I'll stop harping on it.

I will email you when you/I are both better.
