I'm off abx to detox and have found that I still get that herxy, headache, nausea, icky feeling after taking Vitamin C, or Alpha Lipoic Acid or get a glutathaione IV push.

Is this because I'm detoxing? Does it mean I have a problem detoxing?

I know that I have a methylation issue and am addressing that with b shots and vitamins.

I am also getting a pyoluri test and a liver detox test to see what might be going on.

Does this happen to anyone else? Will it get better as I continue on ALA, and Vitamin C?

Yes. I had a dramatic reaction to my one IV Glutathione push: LLMD said it was unusual but "not unprecedented." Said it was the stirring up of toxins as my liver worked more effectively. I have worked on detox: Pekana drainage kit, Glutathione precursors, and coffee enemas. I can now take the oral glutathione with no adverse reaction, and I have much more tolerable abx herxes.

A slower "drip" is far easier on the body than a "push"

Yes, I agree with Keebler that the drip is easier, however I have still herxed that way also.

But what about just taking the precursors to gluth? like Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C, and NAC--Can those cause you to have that herxy feeling?

NAC can cause a herx. Start at lowest dose.
