I'm on tetra too. The herxing had just about stopped, my energy increased and I was feeling so good I did a whole one hour yoga class (yes this is a lot after not being able to stretch or move my arms for 18 months. Then I did another one the next day and a few days later about an hour of an exercise tape.
I haven't stopped herxing since. This has happened several times on tetra, I feel better, increase my exercise and then wham. hats

Bromelain? Yes, I did that - no change in herxin'. Also, i ate pineapple daily. Fresh pinapple perheps increased herxes slightly.

if no effect form bromelain, consider shelf life, and whether, or not refrigerated. one doctor suggested much of the bromelain sold loses its activity with heat,time, or lack of refrigeration. from what i've read, crude bromelain(meaning from crude processing(?)) is supposed to be best, as opposed to bromelain that has been processed to separate acidic from alkaline bromelain. while referred to as bromelain, there supposed to be a number of different ones, differentiated in several ways, i'm not aware of.
i've seen anavit( a hans nieper,md product) a brand of bromelain in the frig of a nyc pharmacey/health food store. i don't know if this is a crude bromelain, or how differentiated, but its differentiated based on some kind of physico-chemical properties, or group of atoms attached or removed from/to some part of it.
i believe one differentialtion of the bromelains is stem, vs fruit bromelain, perhaps the one being acidic, and the other alkaline.
in any case, i'd go with one thats referred to as coming from or in a crude source of it, and secondly, if it can be had, then from a refrigerater in the store. your more likely to get the refrigerated bromelain from a specialty/compounding pharmacy that also sells nutritional supps. try nycity.
bromelain has been demonstrated to help different medicine regimens do their job effectively.
