Once my Babesia treatment is done ( so far on third month) I think I'm going to see if I can have a week off of everything and try to detox. I feel so toxic. When I shower I still feel dirty, like my skin & hair can't be cleaned. It's probably physcological........ ha!

Beautiful picture.

It has a lot of Eucalyptus in it--
Use in hot bath-soak till you prune-
You will come out squeeky clean
and it helps your breathing too--

If you want to do a full body
internal cleanse-- a good one is
--Ultimate Cleanse-- from
from-- Natures Secret--
It works Very well and can
be found on the net for about--$17 --

I wrote a post about it-- 8 pages
back you should read-

Are you really taking all of that at once? I'd be ready to detox too! YIKES!

Sometimes my hands feel dirty....and I think it's just that they are dry. [because sometimes I'll think that and then realize that i had just washed them maybe 30 min before] I use some lotion and then it feels OK!

and no, I don't have OCD!

I have to use a deodorant soap these days -- aromatherapy or luxury soaps just don't cut it.[/B][/QUOTE]

It is nice to know I'm not alone and I'm not crazy!!!!!!!!!!

I'll definately get some scrubbers for shower time.

I don't have it as bad as you, but since I had a bad herx in April, when it's hot my skin feels sticky and stiff, and I have to wear deoderant, which I rarely had to do before.

Also important I think is trying to keep PH near normal. Get PH tape at health food store and check in morning. Antibiotics make you very acidic (not good), so must combat this with green vegetables and green supplements. Look up alkaline foods to eat. Ph levels tell a lot.

I crave spinach and broccoli all the time when I am on antibiotics because I need the alkaline affects. I eat pounds of both.

Lymelady........ sounds like you do the healthiest things possible. I'm going to try out some of your detox methods.

Lynliz,
Wow. Don't know what to say.

I had a problem w/ my head constantly being really disgusting greasy and finally my regular Doctor suggested I use Selson Blue medicated shampoo.

It's not blue it's ugly ugly green. Any way it worked. I used it every day for a week. Dries out your hair a little.... Then I was using it every other day. Then 2x a wk. Then 1x a week. Now I rarely use it. I feel like I killed greasy head disease.

Now about deodarant. I went through about 20 different deodarnats before I found out that soft and dry spray works for me. Also I had to cut out the garlic pills everyday.

I used to take showers at nite and go to bed clean w/ my clean sheets. Now I have to take showers in the morning becuase I'm not fresh. I look dirty and greasy.

It is a different kind of smell than I had ever experienced.

I stay away of deorderant (I am also homebound) due to aluminim. Lots of detox helps odor.

Deodorant doesn't have any aluminum. It's the anti-perspirants that do.
