Can you over do detoxing? I feel horrible today and want to try to do some detoxing, but can it make me feel worse? How do you know if you need more or less?

Sissy,

Hi. In my opinion you can overdo detoxing. What is your protocol? Are you herxing from abx/herbs? I drank too much detox tea one day and felt terrible so it can happen. If you give us a list of what you are doing, taking, eating, we can probably help you. I'm fairly new but the mods are the best people in the entire world with so much wisdom. They are lyme angels. This disease needs a good connotation :)

It's a good idea to start with a few detoxing methods: Drink lots of water (minimum 8 glasses per day), add some fresh squeeze lemon juice into some glasses,

Take liver support supplement
Take probiotics


Then add in a new method every few days.
Some ideas:
- start taking a binder
- warm epsom salt baths (you can start with foot soaks first and see how you do)
- dry brushing your skin prior to bathing or showering
- Pinellla and burbur
- Alka selter gold
- lymph massages

Here's a good website with ideas:

Sissy,
Echoing Huddie - knowing what you are doing well help. An epsom salt footbath or soak, I think it is hard to overdo that. Dry brushing, that is also hard to overdo it. A bit of apple cider vinegar in H20 - hard to overdo a tablespoon. Lemon squeezed in H20 - also hard to over do. If you have a meal, wait two hours, take a binder such as charcoal or chlorella, and then wait two hours. Perhaps choose just one simple thing if you are worried about it. It could be the feeling worse is associated with herxing? Have you seen this list of resources?

I have been doing the following:

Daily espom salt baths
Red root (gradually increasing - taking 4 drops three times a day)
Tons of water
Apple cider vinegar (just 1 tsp since I just started it)
Milk thistle
curcumin
Fiber
Lymph massages

I am waiting for Alia Seltzer Gold.
I need to get a brush for dry brushing.

I was feeling horrible and took an ES bath and I feel a little better already.
