The easiest idea is to drink lots and lots of water with fresh lemons squeezed into it. My lyme doc told me that water flushes out the body and lemons are a natural cleanser.
He wanted me to eat 4 lemons per day, but the most I got up to was 2 per day.
People new to lyme are astonished at how well this works.
When I was treating lyme and cos, I made this lemon water my only drink for the entire time I was in treatment. Perhaps that is why I didn't get bad herxes.
And, if that isn't enough, you can take Alka Seltzer Gold (or baking soda) in lemon water.
Another thing you can do is to get in a warm bath with Epsom salts in it. The magnesium will be absorbed into the skin. The warm water will make you sweat out toxins. Drink warm water the entire time you are in there to replenish your fluids.
When you get out, be careful in case you are weak and dizzy. Go right to bed.
Here are some detox tips from Dr. H:
Herxheimer reaction (from 2010 Lyme Conference):
Take-home message: DETOXIFY YOUR LYME PATIENTS!
It does NOT matter what antibiotic you give people, they will NOT get better without detoxification
For Herxheimer reactions: 2 Alka-Selzer Gold (no aluminum) in 8 ounces of water with lemon or lime followed by 6-8 capsules of glutathione or 1500 mg of oral liposomal glutathione.
70% will feel better in hours
On the topic of water: Dilution is the solution to pollution. This suggests that in order to help our bodies detoxify, we must drink more water
AND:
From a Dr. H patient, Sept, 2013:
Flare protocol in a nutshell:
Try 1st: --Burbur, 10 drops every 10 minutes for 2-3 hours or 10 days until flare resolves --Parsley (same as burbur) --Lemon/lime in H2O sipped through straw 4x/day --Alka seltzer gold OTC or sodium bicarb 4x/day
If above doesn't help, add:
Oral glutathione (Essential Pro) 6-8 caps at once, repeat as needed, up to 3x/day
If no help w/above steps, try: --Pekana drainage 15 drops of each bottle 3x/day --Sydetox 15 drops 2x/day --LDN, as prescribed at bedtime
Hope this helps you!
