Topic: Getting immune system and gut prepared for initial abx treatment

I am supposed to start my initial abx treatment for newly diagnosed lyme.

Problem is I have smoked for the last six weeks, and do not feel very healthy.

I have also eaten poorly for awhile. My gut is clearly not well, and is much better when smoking goes away.

My intuition is that I need to take a couple of weeks of helthy living before going onto abx.

Also it seems initial therapy can be quite crucial, so I want to create the best situation I can poosible.

Is boosting the immune system a good idea while on abx?

If so I guess NAC, colostrum, vitamin c top the list?

You will feel much better when you quit smoking!I quit smoking in February. I recommend a book called "The Easy Way to Quit" by Alan Carr.

I was the most hard-core (closet) smoker. I tried quitting hundreds of times by every method. It's been five months since I quit smoking and I don't miss it (I used to think life wouldn't be worth living if I couldn't smoke). You will feel so much better when you quit smoking. Maybe not immediately but eventually.

As far as diet and supplements there is a ton of information on this site and elsewhere. It is so important to eat healthy food.
Good luck!
