It could be. The lemon water to start is just a splash in a full cup of water. It is not lemonade. You slowly work up to more lemon.

Garlic is something I like raw. At first I didn't even do a whole clove. I would make sourdough toast, kerrygold butter unsalted and chopped garlic on it. yummmm Eventually I got where I was doing 4 whole cloves chopped on that toast. Garlic can really clean you out so you have to be nice and gentle until you get used to it.

If you are only just now starting to detox, you likely have a pretty high toxin load, so you will herx easily and quickly. Be sure to start each new detoxing routine slowly and never start something new or raise the amount close to each other. We usually say to give yourself 3 - 5 days for your body to adjust.

It was likely the garlic that made you herx though, not the lemon water. Garlic is a natural abx, although not strong enough on it's own to treat these infections due to them being so complex.
