Can detox cause herx ?

Detox methods generally clear out pathways and get toxins moving. That is the whole point. And it's often very unpleasant! The more overloaded your system is, the worse it may feel. For a long time I would stop any detox method that made me feel worse because I had some notion that detox was supposed to make me feel better right away. (People sometimes do sometimes experience immediate improvement with some methods, but that never has been my experience.) In the short term, detox often makes me feel much much worse! Pushing through it also can be damaging in the same way a herx can be - overloading your system and causing widespread inflammation, which can lead to actual damage or even dangerous symptoms. As with everything, patience is key. Slow and steady.

I think it's also possible that certain things can flare Bart. It seems like I have experienced that more than once. Or also that Bart compromises the liver, so detox is not easy as long as Bart is "in the way".
