Questions about treatments and detox

Good morning! Hope it is a good day for all of you.

Though I have not been actually diagnosed yet for Lyme, (my chiro is convinced I do have it, so I am testing with Igenix), I am thinking about trying some of the herbal remedies that Traveler has done.

The questions I have are:

Does treatment depend on symptoms? Mine are neurological with joint pain and difficulty with vision and hearing, depression, anxiety and paranoia.

If I decide to try the herb route, should I detox beforehand? And if its not Lyme I have will it hurt to do this type of treatment? I am so desperate to find relief...

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Thank you, Girlie! I thought I would try Alkalete, which is supposed to balance alkalinity, turmeric and I have been using Epsom Salt lotion after my showers. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I have been reading past posts and saw that Alka-Seltzer Plus is good and also lemon water?

How long should I do this before the herbal protocol and if test are a false negative is there a way to know by ones symptoms what infections may be present?

This is one of the best lists of detox suggestions I've seen: www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html. They list lots of easy ways to detox. The more detoxing pathways you get working now, the better off you will be when you start treatments. You don't really need to detox first for long unless you have some very debilitating symptoms - then it really helps to get those detox pathways open as far as you can before requiring them to work hard.

Lyme is supposed to be diagnosed by your symptoms with tests to hopefully back it up, but it doesn't happen that way all the time. Usually we can help you figure out if you have a reason to be concerned by looking at your list of symptoms though. But, just based on what you posted above about your symptoms is enough to say that it's likely. Very few things create havoc like Lyme does in the body.
