I have no money (on disability, nothing left after bills), so I'm trying to identify ways to detox that won't cost much. Even Epsom salt will get pricey if I have to use a couple of cups or so at a time.
I'm going to borrow the ~$60/mo it will cost to do BVT (I can't afford doctors, meds, etc.), and I'm wondering how low I can keep the cost of detoxing so I can maybe borrow that, too.
Suggestions?

Perry Fields, The Tick Slayer, would put on sweats
and take some water and go sit in her car with the
windows rolled up, when it was hot enough. I hope
that helps a bit. I'll keep thinking on it.

Enemas can be inexpensive too.

I think I have detoxed best in an FIR sauna tent. I got over profound chemical sensitivity by detoxing the toxins out by sweating out over an FIR biomat for 6 months. Using a tent is faster.
So if anyone could give you the money to get a tent from maybe eBay, where they might be selling it for cheaper, that's an idea.
If you do it, you need to be able to handle heat.
I can handle heat. It takes about a half hour to break a sweat, then I shower warm and cool.

Skin brushing to help move lymph.
You can move lymph also by doing shake meditation:
Scroll down for financial help, etc., available from several sources.
The Lyme Test Access Program (Lyme-TAP) is a nationwide patient assistance program to provide assistance for initial Lyme-related lab tests to patients who demonstrate true financial need. I think coverage is up to 75%. View on www.lymetap.com
I really appreciate the info on financial help. I'm in a position, however, where discounts don't even help because I don't have the money to pay whatever portion of things they don't cover. I'm borrowing money for the initial tests, though, so that info will definitely help.

lookup that video is a hoot, I hope it worked for those people! Don't think I can convince my 13 year to try...but it is affordable! Posted by WPinVA (Member # 33581) on :
There's always lemon water.
Also exercise or a massage.

Parasite detox- sole water.

Robin123 (or anyone who does a sweat for detox) -- how long should you let yourself sweat? Just 'til you break a sweat, or for a while yet after that?
And lookup, I am SO not doing the second video thing! That was hysterical, thanks for the chuckle.

When we bought our sauna, the company who sold it to
us (who also has a daughter with Lyme), said to
start out at 30 minutes even if you don't sweat.
Start out slow as to avoid too much possible herx
reaction. We are at one hour now and it helps a lot.

- Detail about low heat infrared saunas can be found in the "How to find a LL ND" in this set:
LIVER & KIDNEY SUPPORT & and several HERXHEIMER support links, too. -

Best to stay in until you break out in a full sweat. I'd say no more than 5 minutes after that, or I feel drained afterwards if I stay in too long.

Coffee enemas!

I hesitate to post this because you need to evaluate your particular body/health/situation
and others will probably object and that is good
but, for me, what I found, and it may help others, is that fasting can be beneficial
it is inexpensive - and I think my body needs it from time to time to give my GI, the liver, etc. a break and allow itself to normalize - whatever that means - I am not a doctor - it just feels that way to me
my body feels less stressed - in my own words - it seems like digestion can take a toll and maybe this is why this works for me
I feel like my body can focus on sorting out what's already in there - I only provide some clean water to pee it out, when ready
this would only work if your body has enough reserves (especially the liver) of essential nutrients
so it really can be bad for you if you don't have those reserves
so far, for me, it has often brought some relief - I do drink water but don't force huge amounts down my throat either
I fast only for 20 hours or so, but sometimes I just don't eat until evening and then some reasonable, good food and not too much
sometimes I do that for a few days - just not eat until I get very hungry or until evening (even if I am not very hungry I will have something then) and ignore a couple of small hunger pains during the day
everyone is different - some people are diabetic or need blood sugar or they pass out - so you need to adjust this to your needs
it is just an idea - and it works for me
