I recently received the rife book by Bryan and one of his points is that if you don't herx, you are not killing off the keets.
My husband has been treating his LD for over a year now and other than a little bit of nausea and dizziness on the doxy, he has never noticeably herxed.
Currently he is on Mepron/Zith/Art and I've read so much about how awful people feel on this . . . but he doesn't.
He feels no better . . . no worse.
In the long haul, he IS getting worse, but it's slowly and over time.
I wonder why he isn't getting better . . . why he isn't herxing . . . why we can't find a solution for him.
He's looking for instructions for making a "doug" coil machine and then we're gonna give rife a try. He's certainly not making progress with the traditional ABX route.

Herxing comes from Toxins by die off and the bodies inability to remove them fast enough.
So if your body is good at clearing the toxins and there arent to many then you may not herx or have very mild ones.Also depends on how long you were infected and how virulent of a strain you have.
But for the majority you herx.

Tree is right...some people just don't herx. I think considering rife is a good plan.
Perhaps your husband has other problems not yet diagnosed??

If your husband has never herxed and he is getting worse, then I would suspect something is being missed. Either an undiagnosed/untreated coinfection or the possibility that it isn't Lyme that is the causing the symptoms.

I would say no. I recovered totally from Lyme and six co-infections and I never had a herxheimer. I feel it definitely has to do with the selection of combination of medicines that the body at a particular time can handle without overloading the system.
But of course improvement should show up somewhere if you are diagnosed properly and treated properly. Lyme is a multi-factorial disease --- many factors play into it that can keep a person from improving or getting well.
It is not the Lyme and co-infections that are the toxins as everyone has said. It is the die-off, the dead proteins, the heavy metals that are held in the cell walls of the die-off, other microbes that surface at that time that cause the problems. And who knows what else.
Everything that I took into my system as medicines, be it pharma drugs and/or herbals, was ART tested (energy tested = tested via muscle testing) before I took it. If it did not test positive for me, I was not directed to take it. That eliminated any of the horrible reactions some people suffer. I wasn't feeling super all the time; I had a bit of a better day or a worse day; but I never suffered a herxheimer that lasted for a day or days.
I think avoiding non-compatible medicines also prevents setbacks that are caused by added stress to the body via the overpowering medicines that taxes organs and many times does damage, some of it irreparable.
Take care.
