Fungal Defense Living Herbal Poten-Zyme Blend, 125 mg Garlic Juice Yucca Juice
It's possible that some of those may kill bacteria, or that the enzyme blend can dissolve excess fibrin in the bloodstream, thus reducing biofilm and exposing Lyme bacteria to the killing action of white blood cells.
So you could possibly be having a herx reaction, as the liver would need more magnesium to detoxify the poisons left behind.
Headaches and muscle spasms are symptoms of low magnesium. The alveoli in the lungs can spasm, causing a "tight chest" feeling and difficulty breathing.
Take magnesium supplements and eat magnesium rich foods.
If you have a salt pipe/inhaler, now is the time to use it, inhaling the salt ions deep into the lungs to reduce inflammation and help clear mucous. People with asthma say that it reduces the wheezing.

randibear, I am prone to migraines and have found that Olive Leaf Extract is a trigger even at very low doses. I see that it is one of the ingredients in the product you mention.
Currently I take Phellostatin and am able to tolerate it -- be sure to start at a low dose and do not take with clarithromycin.

I've never tolerated any of their products well, not even the multivitamins. They tend to use a lot of what they call "fermented whole foods" in their products.
It took me awhile but I realized that I react like I am eating mold. I am allergic to molds.
So you may not be experiencing a herx if you have tolerated the main listed ingredients before.
The product got good reviews on iherb.com so it may be helpful to some people. Just be aware that all reactions are not herxes.
