Hi all. It's been 5 weeks since I took the two drops of a-bart and I'm feeling better but not great. I want to try to get to where I was prior to taking the a-bart (75-80% myself) before starting any other treatment as the a-bart brought me down to about 10-20% and scared the hell out of me. I stopped bicillin and almost all supplements (except for vit C, D and probiotics).

My doctor wants me to get a colonic tomorrow as he thinks it will help. I am doubting whether this is the best choice since I'm super sensitive and can't even seem to tolerate my sauna right now. Just a few hours ago I took activated charcoal and I'm feeling super achy and sick. I think I'm having a detox reaction so I'm scared a colonic could push me over the edge again. I'm also not have any problems moving my bowels.

Any thoughts? is it worth a try? Of course I'm reading horror stories that colonics can cause long-term mineral depletion , etc. and freaking myself out! Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I've no experience with one, other than my colonoscopy pre-treat, so I typed "colonic herx Lyme" in our search bar for previous discussions. You can do that, and I hope that Heathersdad doesn't mind that I'm going to quote him here "Any time that you make a major detoxification movement in your body, it is possible to generate a short term experience of increased symptoms. Your GI tract was loaded with toxins, so now new sources of toxins are moving towards your GI tract. I am very impressed with your positive attitude, faith, and prayer through all of this. Keep your eyes on the prize!

If I were you I would use a detoxicant such as Bentonite clay and psyllium seed to sop up toxins in the colon. This will help to prevent reabsorption of these toxins. I would use these products 2-3 times a week."

july - colonoscopy pre-treat?

Did you do a colonic prior to the colonoscopy?

That Gallon or two of gunk you have to chug down before the colonoscopy cleans you out as well as any colonic I've ever heard of.

Some people are now opting to do colonic cleanses as opposed to the gunk that JM is referring to. In fact, I hear that gastroenterologists are promoting it to their patients.

I wouldn't do anything at this time if you still feel vulnerable. Give it a little time and reconsider.
