Unfortunately, when we feel our worst, that's when our bodies need us to do the most - otherwise we run the risk of having even more issues due to our bodies being overrun with toxins. It's much better to slow our treatments and get this stuff taken care of right away, rather than wait and have to stop treatments completely in order to stay out of the hospital or having to be admitted to the hospital because we have entered a into a state where our bodies have become completely toxic.
I just came out of a three week herx, and was reminded daily how hard this advice is to take and to follow - but I pushed myself to do all that I could possibly handle to detox, and now I'm out of the herx and as long as I keep doing all of those things, I should be able to handle the rest okay, although I'm sure I'll have a few flares from time to time. I'm really bad about doing too much!
For a really good moisturizer that won't add even more toxins to our already taxed bodies, I use coconut oil. Just remember, a little goes a loooonnngg way!!
