Ilads doctor, Burascano, write in his guide - many lyme patients have increase symptom, every four week in treatment.

Hi Shannon,
Welcome to our community! I'm so glad you found us.

If you haven't ​yet​, it would be helpful for you to start with reading through the thread at the top of the forum titled,"New to Lyme?...Start here!!", as it 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 Detoxing for us is an incredibly important part of our healing.

It's very, very common to begin to feel worse after treatments have started, as Alexander mentioned in his post. This is known as a Jarrisch-Herxheimer reaction - or herx for short. We talk about this a LOT here, because nearly everyone experiences this - and some have a lot of trouble with it.

There are things that you can do though to help your body detox and get through this. You can find some really good detoxing suggestions in the "New to Lyme?" thread that sits at the top of the forum, and this is another good list of possible detoxing routines: www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html

Something that you can do right now to help the most is to use binders - but you have to take them 2 hours away (before and after) anything you wish your body to absorb - food, supplements, meds, and so on. Binders, like activated charcoal for example, bind to toxins, and help remove them from the body, rather than allowing them to be circulated and recirculated through the body.

Keep asking questions!! That way we know how we can be of help.

Welcome. As far as gut healing there are many things you can take.
Here is a website that talks about leaky gut. Dr. Axe is well respected in this area.

Also do you know if you have yeast overgrowth?

I would caution you with starting with "hot" water for baths and foot baths. The can cause a terrible herx. Whatever you choose for detoxing should be favorable to your body. If you do decide to do the bath, make sure your water is a very comfortable warm and only do it for 5 minutes starting. As you assess your tolerance you may be able to stay in longer and increase water temperature. But give it some time. You can try foot baths instead. They seem to be a bit gentler on the body and the release of toxins.

Osmotic slowly process, for good helping, i am do bath+salt half hour, and my water was hot, because our skin need to be opened for exit toxins.

Alexander everyone cannot tolerate hot temperatures. It can make some people very ill. That is why we tell people to start slow. We do not want to knowingly place people in potentially dangerous situations.

And detoxing through "heat" is not the only way to detox.

I do not call people to this action, its only my experience.
And i shared only about slowly osmotic process.

Yes our body have another system for detox, it our intenstines, i.e. lymphatic system in our body. Sometimes i am use another detox metod - eat absorbent.

Consider bvt ...if herbals are not in budget ..welcome sorry

You can use abx, just increase your detoxing and be sure to support you body functions to control the herxing you are experiencing. Many here do this by adding in an herbal protocol, but if you are seeing a good LLMD, they should be able to evaluate you and help you achieve this with certain pharmaceuticals.
