What is it that takes place when a person is herxing? What are the symptoms, and what is taking place in the body at that time?

Thanks, Christine

Google Herx reaction and you will see alot of different info on it.

A herx is "typically" an increase in symptoms and even new ones for a time period after killing lyme bacteria with antibiotics, rife machines, oxygen, heat, ect...

When you kill this bacteria, it releases toxins into the body and kinda overruns your system which makes you feel worse... This is what makes lyme disease so hard! if there was not a herx reaction I think everyone on here would be [Big Grin]
