Great for Lyme detox die-off/herx reactions
The advised protocol I found online of 20 drops in 4oz of water, repeat every 10 min till herx symptoms recede does indeed seem to work - for reactions brought on by Lyme treatments, as well as the extremely poor air quality we had here in N. California due to the fires. Sometimes it only takes one round. But, to boost efficacy, I also do 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice in 8oz of water (or, better in Dandelion and/or Milk Thistle tea).... After 30-60 min, I add some binders (any combination of chlorella, activated charcoal, Redmond detox clay...all if symptoms are still strong, just one or two if not). Some good sweating in a sauna, followed by a cool shower with soap is always good, too, if I can fit it in. When I manage to remember, I preempt all this with something to deactivate my sympathetic nervous system and activate my parasympathetic nervous system (ie, take my system out of Fight/Flight/Freeze stress response and put it into the rest/healing response) - ie, some combination of meditation, yoga, time in nature, writing, light exercise, etc. (I now have notes in a file on my computer to remind me of all this when the brain's offline due to a reaction.). These reactions are severe, scary and extremely challenging: Hang in there and I hope this product and/or some of these tips help you!
