Has anyone experienced extreme sweating an amonia like smell almost like cat urine from the armpits I know sounds disgusting . I was told it's to do to the bartonella cause amonia like smell bt idk . I've tried many detoxing methods like l glutathione green tea and tbh lemon water did wonders took my sweating away withing the next day had no sweating at all no lie this was big for me
The ammonia smell can be common with a borrelia infeciton I hear due to the build up of toxins... But if you're sweating heavily, I'd look more down the path of the coinfection babesia and try some herbs like a-bab and csa formula/crypto.

How do you know if you have ammonia problems? Dr. Jernigan's book mentions not to take meat because of it's L-arginine content and the associated interaction with ammonia. Protein is the building block of muscle so this seems contradictory to be healthy by avoiding all meat and high protein grains. But I suspect eating meat is OK to do if you do not have ammonia problems.

Several patients with cognitive dysfunction and no evidence of severe liver disease (i.e., cirrhosis) had high ammonia levels. Ammonia, a byproduct of the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds, is neurotoxic at elevated concentrations [225] and the liver clears most portal vein ammonia, converting it into glutamine and urea. Glutamine is metabolized in mitochondria, yielding glutamate and ammonia, and ammonia can evoke oxidative/nitrosative stress, mitochondrial abnormalities, and astrocyte swelling, which is a major component of brain edema [226]. Ammonia levels can be decreased by reducing intestinal production (lactulose, rifaximin, diet), L-ornithine, prebiotic, and probiotic supplementation [227], as well as by supplementation with zinc and L-carnosine [228]. Zinc deficiency was found in 18% of patients, which could have impacted cytokine and ammonia production, as well as the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. Zinc deficiency superimposed on oxidative stress may predispose the brain to damage mediated though blood-brain barrier disruption [229]. Future studies will need to evaluate these mineral deficiencies and their role in chronic illness.

During the first few sessions of using an infrared sauna, you may notice a pungent smell of ammonia when you're finished; more noticeably in the towel you sat upon. Ammonia, a well known neurotoxin, appears to be a primary exotoxin released by Borrelia. The abnormally excessive amount of ammonia found in the body, due to the presence of the bacteria, plays its part in distorting cognitive function even further.
