My LLMD's PA told me I should do this often to help myself. I don't know if it has merit is just BS. Any thoughts?

I found this video online:

If you do it, does her method seem OK? How often do you do it? What type of brush?

One more video....

I admit I watched the whole thing. [Smile]

With all the neck swelling feeling, perhaps something to move my lymph system better may help me. I guess it's virtually free so what the hell.

I think the key is to do it every day. I mean you really cant argue that it works when your body starts to feel warm and you can see more blood circulating.

i do this before every shower. Like you said, WTH, if it works on something, it takes little effort and the brush is only 5-10 dollars [Smile]

I'm been hearing more and dry brushing and the concept sounds like it should help, so have just recently started doing it.

I figure it surely isn't going to hurt. Any little thing that might help get us out of this mess is great, so thanks for the tip.

I think it does help to shift the lymph, as well as increase circulation, so is worth doing; I must get back into this good habit!

It helps. I have so many toxins stored in my skin after battling Lyme and taking all those meds that I can only do it once or twice a week or I get fatigue.

My daughter who never had Lyme got diarrhea for the first few weeks she did it.

Our skin stores lots of gunk.

I'm thinking that when I release too many toxins at once it makes me fatigued. I only do enough that my body can handle eliminating the toxins without them making me feel bad.

When I first got better, I had fatigue with just about any method of detox I used except for coffee enemas. I haven't had that happen in months, so I was surprised it happened with something so seemingly benign as skin brushing.
