Fellow Lymers (esp Huddie and Girlie) -

I was having a brutal day yesterday from the herxing. With encouragement from Huddie who raved about the wisdom of this forum, I started to ask questions on this site (previous post "Volatility of Symptoms"). Girlie then sent me a link on how to detox. Huddie recommended some herbs which I ordered this morning. Thank you to both.

After ordering on amazon the herbs, I went to the supermarket and bought lemon and apple cider vinegar. After one hour of doing both, I witnessed an improvement in my symptoms, especially my muscle and joint pain from sitting. My stomach became more lose and my pain level has decreased by 30%! I am simply amazed. I felt so good that I did the elliptical machine for over 20 minutes at a level I have not done in 6 months. Couldn't even imagine doing that yesterday.

Questions : anyone know what happened here? Is it because my body level was too acidic?

Lessons I Learned :
1) This forum rocks. It has people who are willing to help on both a physical and emotional level.
2) Detoxing may be just as important as the treatment itself because excessive herxing caused me to question my own actions and diagnosis.

Thank you to all, especially Huddie and Girlie. I know that this will be a long journey, as Huddie keeps on reminding me to be patient.

Jack - thank YOU for posting this...it brought tears to my eyes. I'm so happy that you had results that quickly with the detoxing.

Both Lemon juice and ACV are alkaline forming in the body - when we get sick and/or we have a build up of toxins, our PH changes to an acidic environment...
I have read this acidic environment promotes illness.

When we change our acidic body to more alkaline...it is in a healthier state.


Be careful and don't overdo the exercise..

Can you drink too much? It's the apple cider vinegar that is more effective for me.

Huddie already warned me about excessive exercise but I can't help it. Whenever I have good days, I want to be active for both physical and emotional health.

great to hear Jack!

I started out with cucumber water and for some reason that seemed to make me feel better (slightly) almost instantly. It seemed to lift that severely hungover feeling I was having every day. I started adding lemon, and for some reason the lemon part makes me feel worse. In fact, today was an all-lemon (out of cukes) and I'm having one of the worst days in a while.

Have you tried apple cider vinegar? Just did it about 30 mins ago and I feel my hamstrings loosening up. I am so amazed by this.

I will try it. Do you just add it to the water?

Yes, I added 2 teaspoons to 10oz water. It's worth trying at least a couple of times. Good luck.

Jack,

I'm SO HAPPY for you! This is wonderful news.

So Trav hasn't yelled at you for not detoxing yet? (Just kidding Trav, you know I love you!)

Whole Foods sells organic lazy lemon (in the fake lemon container). I squirt it into my water bottle. I must go through six a week. I add two big tablespoons of ACV to two of my hot water/lemon mugs a day - sprinkle with cayenne. Alka Seltzer Gold gives instant relief as well. So does Yogi Detox tea and Traditional Detox Lemon tea.

GT's komboucha also used to bring back to life when I was miserable on Doxcy. Wobenzyme PS really helps with pain too.

I can't believe you went back on the Elliptical today. I think you need to rest more.

Thanks for the shout out. It made me laugh because in pre-Lyme life I was extremely self sufficient and resourceful. With lyme that all went out the window. I was on this board multiple times day feeling very needy and asking so many questions. This board was so supportive and patient. It saved my sanity, helped the healing, and taught me so much that thank you will never seem enough.

We all pay it forward.

P.S. And Girlie is one of the main Lyme angels - that's what I call the Mods.
