Hi folks,

I could use a reminder... Can you list things that one should do while undergoing treatment for Lyme? For example, I've heard of detoxing, but are there simple ways to detox? When should this be done? Also, what else should a patient do? Probiotics? Etc... Any info you can provide is helpful. Thanks so much for reading. Big hugs xo

Detox as much as possible! I drink lemon water, take alka seltzer gold, epsom baths, use essential oils.

I also try to get a binder into my day, like activated charcoal.

Probiotics I take 2x a day.

Yes, take probiotics daily.

I take a few different ones: Two differenent ones in capsule form, plus Kefir, and another one called Bio-K.

Detoxing should be done daily. Start with a few methods...and every few days add in one more until you are doing multiple methods daily.

- Drink lots of water
- Add fresh lemon juice into some glasses of water
- Support your liver
- Warm epsom salt baths
- Dry brush your skin prior to baths
- Take a binder (2 hours away from everything else you ingest) - eg. Activated Charcoal
- Take Nutramedix Pinella and Burbur OR Jernigan's Neuro-Antitox II - CNS/PNS
- Light exercise


Here is a website with some good ideas:

All good suggestions - there is good info in the "New to Lyme?" thread as well.

GI health is essential for those of us treating - our treatment can created GI imbalance and sometimes this adds to imbalance that was already presence. Sometimes the imbalance can affect GI function or even cause damage - or allow the infections to cause damage. And the damage can then affect how well we're absorbing the treatment and nutrition we're ingesting, which requires proper absorption through the mucosal lining of our GI in order to serve the rest of our bodies.

So proper diet, bowel movements, flushing is necessary. Sometimes a good binder can really enhance treatment - if not solve a few problems. It's essential for me.

I would always start only one detox component per day, do it carefully and gently.
