Question....detoxing and protocol

Hi. Sorry if this seems like a silly question but what is the difference between detoxing and following a protocol?

I'm trying to put together all of this information but my brain is not working so well these days. (Don't even ask me to do math because that's not happening at all these days lol)

I'm assuming detoxing comes first and then the herbs can be slowly introduced? Or are the herbs part of detoxing? Can someone break it down for me like I'm a five year old? lol (Honestly, that's what I feel like lately.)

Thanks!

I agree with Blueberrymuffin, but I'd like to add:

You can do both at the same time - if you are not already pretty sick. You may need to start slowly with detoxing and diet changes.

If you are pretty badly compromised (and you may be since you need help understanding the differences - please don't take offense!!!!), you may need to start off with some really simple and easy on the body detoxing.

The thread at the top of the forum titled,"New to Lyme?...Start here!!", is packed full of important information, symptom lists, helpful links and pdf's, how to detox when one has these infections, information on probiotics and much more. And this is another good list of possible detoxing routines: www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html

Keep asking those questions!!!
