Who has done this? I’d plan to do detox between now and my next LLMD appt in a month. I’ve been doing Cowden so I’d keep the non microbial tinctures and my supplements

My PT does lymphatic massage and my system has been so impacted :/

Yes, .

Was part of my llmd plan, for:
1) the liver
2)and then to hit it back hard unsuspecting with Flagile (a deep digger abx) and what ever other abx coupled with diflucan.

I suppose any herbal equivalent if there are any could be done as well.

So you’re talking about a 4 week break from treatment?


I take 3 weeks off every month now.

I took around 8 months off just to focus totally on my gut and try to start looking for other possible causes of my fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, etc.

I don't think it was helpful for me.. I think this year was the first year out of three years of treatment that I don't feel that I took any steps forward. All my symptoms that I had last year at this time are here today.

The good news is, I wouldn't say I took any steps back either.. I don't regret it because I've almost proven my lyme diagnosis even more by ruling other things out.

I also have taken several 1 month breaks in my 10 years of ABX treatment. It gives the body time to cleans, and if your have quick relapse in sx the break will help diagnose co-infections, which replicate at a much faster rate than Lyme, as the main infection(s). It's best to continue with any of your herbals through this period.

On the flip side.... I have stopped all of my herbals since my heart attack last August. Most of the Buhner Herbs also thin the blood, and being prescribed several blood thinners by my Cardiologist, I didn't want anything to interfere with my heart treatment. Since stopping GSE, JK Plus, and IHA blends for over three months now, I've noticed no changes in my remaining neuro sx. So for the time being, I save a couple hundred a month which will go to my 2020 HealthCare Premium increase and cover the four new heart related meds.

Yes yes yes. Give your body a break! Detox, supportive supplements, etc. are great things to focus on. Lymphatic massage is great, isn't it? There's a great deal you can to to heal without killing anything. BlackTara started a great thread recently about things people found helpful aside from antimicrobial treatment, so there should be good ideas for you on there if you are interested. You most likely will not set yourself back as long as you continue to support your body in the usual ways - good diet, movement, bodywork, healthy flora, etc. Some people find that they feel much better with recovery breaks built into their antimicrobial treatment schedules.
