I live in Australia where lyme is not recognised at all and haven't been able to get much help with my long standing lyme issues.
My biggest problem is biliary inflammation. It began with an aggressive liver fluke infection. I have got those numbers down but the inflammation is still there. The advise I have is that toxins would be the major issue now. But so far detoxing isn't getting me any results. I am allergic to all liver cleanse herbs normally recommend like dandelion root, milk thistle and lipo glutathione. I have been taking Alpha Lipoic Acid/biotin, selenium, and beet juice but I see no change. Other detox products like chlorella, Methyl Guard and zeolite make me very dehydrated so I take them only in reduced doses. Ozonated water is working well. It feels good and quenches my thirst to some degree but there still no change. I have been taking it for a few months now. I am wondering if anyone has any more ideas.
The problem with the biliary inflammation apart from the fact it is painful is that its stopping me from taking any lyme killing remedies and quite a few foods make it blow up and it feels hot.
I am thinking of buying an ionic foot detox bath. I am currently rifing and taking the Dr. Hulda Clarke remedy and some infections are being held back. Certainly not the fungal infections they seem to have a life of their own. The liver flushes I have tried are dramatic only in that I see mostly mucous; a lot if the rife sessions arent as heavy as usual. Oregano oil, caprylic acid and Pau darco dont agree with my liver so I cant take them.
Has anyone got any ideas on what might help.
I get it that it may be a difficult question I have done a lot to research it .

I am so sorry you're dealing with this! I can only offer my support and hope that someone more knowledgeable about liver issues can stop by with some suggestions.

Good luck in finding something that works! You'll get there.

I just wanted to mention the liver support I am now on. I was using Milk Thistle Extract, but when my liver enzymes rose after 9 1/2 months of antibiotics to treat lyme, I stopped the antibiotics and my LLND told me to start taking Pekana apoHepat. It is a homeopathic liver cleanse.

My liver enzymes went down...but I can't attribute it to the switch...as at that time I also changed antibiotics to treat bartonella.

Just wanted to offer a another option perhaps to try.


Sorry, your struggling with this.

Hi ArtAngel,
First of all, welcome to our community! I'm so glad you found us.

Although you as definitely not new to this, but I would still encourage you to read through our "New to Lyme? Start here!" thread, as it could have information that you haven't seen yet.

I have a liver/gall bladder cleanse that uses orange or grapefruit juice, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and olive oil. I'd be happy to list the amounts and how to use it in the morning, if you would like to see it.

I also can't use milk thistle to protect my liver, so I use turmeric, and am actually thinking of adding in dandelion root, based on the things I've been reading about it on trusted sites. Turmeric helps to protect the liver as well helps it to regenerate it, i believe. Sorry, it's late for me. I can look it up and revise that statement, if needed.

The other thing that helped me is, during treatments for my first set of tick-borne infections (I've been reinfected, and am back in treatment), I was lucky to have an amazing acupuncture doctor, who was incredibly good with not only her needle placement, but her intuition as well, and she could help my liver quite a few times. She moved out of state to care for her parents, and boy do I miss her!

Anyway, all of that to say acupuncture by a really good, highly intuitive acupuncture doctor might also be able to help your liver release the toxins and lower inflammation for you as well.

I'm so sorry!! There are several people that I email with that are 'in crisis' today. Here is the recipe for the liver/gall bladder flush that I use at least twice a year (even when not in treatment) or any time I feel like my liver is suffering. I had to have my gall bladder removed before I started using this:

Each morning, 30 minutes before food, Mix:
*1 cup citrus juice - (fresh squeezed is best, not from concentrate if you have to) Make it mainly orange juice, it can have some grapefruit juice, and must have some lemon or lime juice.

*1 - 2 cloves of squeezed or minced garlic

*1 tablespoon Olive Oil

*you can add a few drops of fresh squeezed ginger juice too. I always do.

*Do this for 10 days straight, then if needed, do a second round of 10 days after a 3 day break. What to look for to know when it's done it's job is a dark green stool. If you watch, you will see it begin to change colors. Stop when you see that dark green stool - or the 10 day mark.

You will need to drink this down quickly for a while, as the taste can be a bit odd/strange/kind of weird - but I got used to it. I don't like it, but it doesn't bother me at all any more. I use this recipe a minimum of twice a year, more depending on what I'm healing from and if I get liver pressure/pain. I've never had anyone tell me that this didn't work for them.
