How to detox with allergies?

I have just started antibiotic treatment with Doxy and I am already having a severe kick up of symptoms. Things like severe headaches, dizziness, brain fog, stiff neck, muscle aches that are off the charts, fatigue, serious anxiety attacks, generalized pain all over and severe stomach pain (which was there prior to treatment) with nausea and diarrhea. I am not dealing with a LLMD, only a regular infectious disease doctor who really does not understand Lyme, but who is willing to treat right now with Doxy. I am waiting to get into a LLMD doctor but the soonest I could get in with one was two months out, so I have to deal with this doctor and his protocol for now.

Anyway, I have been doing a lot of my own research on Lyme and its co-infections and the treatments used. I have also done a lot of reading about detoxing but most everything I have read about detoxing calls for using things that I am highly allergic to. Unfortunetly, my allergies have become many and serious since contracting Lyme four years ago. So, I'm trying to figure out how anyone is detoxing with allergies. One of my worst and most serious allergies is to magnesium. I attempted this three years ago for muscle and joint pain. I put a very small amount of epsolm salts in a bath and within minutes of getting in the tub I began having breathing problems, which quickly escalated to total paralysis of all muscles including lungs. I barely made it to the hospital where I would spend the next two weeks fighting for my life. Later that year my allergy doctor tried a low dose mag supplement to see if I could handle it, but within minutes of consuming it I once again began having breathing and muscle issues. I was given meds right away to stop the reaction and told never to use any products that contain mag.

Over the past four years I have managed to wrack up over forty different allergies to meds, supplements, foods and spices. Things like pepper, cayenne pepper, Rosemary, Fennel, milk thistle, certain probiotics (so far the only one I can take is "Pearls") NO "B" vitamins of any kind including the whole food made ones, this was as bad as mag! NO B12 either, unless it is given IM and it has to be the colban formula. Anyway, the list goes on and on and I have been told to never attempt herbal remedies because these are usually much harder on the liver to detox (because many of them are very small amounts of poisonious substances) My liver is unable to detox and can get very quickly over run to the point of an over dose from anything I take in, so all drugs have to be given in lower doses and spaced farther out so as not to give me an over dose reaction. I have what is known as P450 with CY pathway liver damage. So, I do not know what I can do to detox?

If I was completely unable to use detox substances, would I still get better? I know I may feel sicker because I am not ridding it from my body fast enough, but will it keep me from getting better eventually? I am so scared of not getting better because I cannot take so many things that everyone else takes to help them heal. Please any advice on anything else that can be used to detox besides what is listed in the Detox section of this group and also any advice on if I will get better without detoxing if I cannot find something! Thank you

Sounds like you may have some serious detoxing issues and possible another condition as well. You should go to /www.23andme.com/ and get the genetic testing done.

(Thanks for posting this info Pirouette!!!)
Step 1
Order your saliva kit from www.23andme.com for $99

Step 2
Provide the saliva sample and mail the kit back to 23andme.

Step 3
23andme will email you your results in a few weeks—it will be a 30+ page of tens of thousands of SnPs or DNA gene codes… (indecipherable—you will need to have the data interpreted by another source as 23andme no longer does this and when they did previously, it likely wasn't very comprehensive).

Step 4
Upload the data to interpretation services (some are free but you usually get what you pay for). Options:

knowyourgenetics.com Yasko's site is geared specifically for methylation mutations so she has a broader list of mutations the program pulls from your 23andme data. Running your data through the program on her site is FREE. Her site also provides detailed information about the mutation and what to take for it—as well as links to the various supplements to buy.

livewello.com is also a really great resource. I think it's less helpful for the novice. Once you get into it more, I would then venture into this site. For $20 you can upload an extraordinary amount of info and run countless tests. There are several hundred different programs that run your data for mutations.

But with every report you really do need to take into context your other health conditions, lifestyle, and family history. For instance, if you have a heterozygous (only 1 copy of a mutation, verses the more intense homozygous or 2 copies) for conditions leading to diabetes, yet no one in your family history has ever had diabetes then maybe it might not be a huge risk factor for you. OTOH, if you have a lot of family members with diabetes, even though you have only 1 copy of the mutation, diabetes may be a real issue for you.

Have you tried Takesumi Supreme? It's carbonized bamboo that is similar to activated charcoal.
