I’ve had a LOT of questions about our detox regiment… and I feel like it’s time to answer some of those questions on here now.
Just like how no two people are the same, detoxing for everyone can vary and should be set up individually in some instances. We have been working soooooo hard on detoxing since two full months before heading to Germany. The same treatments were continued while at the Hospital in Germany, and again immediately after we returned home. All along this journey, I have felt like detoxing was going to be one of the BIGGEST pieces of this whole process, and have pushed to do so as hard as I can.
Cory and I are at the doctor for IV’s 4 days each week and it looks like this:
Monday- High dose Vitamin C/ Artesinate
Tuesday- PTC/ Glutathione
Wednesday- PTC/ Glutathione
Thursday- Artesinate
This is slightly less than before we went to Germany, as we were also doing one MAH treatment with UVB light each week as well. After getting home from Germany, Cory and I have been doing the exact same treatment, but I started feeling like something was off for Cory and immediately asked to have labs drawn. We found that his liver enzymes are quite elevated and I started reading up on the “hows” of fixing it, and the “why’s” of how they got high. We have decided to alter Cory’s detox routine and use some alternative treatments. I was also reading up on “binders” like cholestyramine, bentonite clay, psyllium husk, activated charcoal, etc… I really believe that we have been purging the toxins very well. Once the toxins are released, whatever isn’t excreted can be re-absorbed into fat tissues. I think that a big problem with detoxing is that you can overwhelm your organs with toxins that end up not being completely purged so to speak… I call it a “dump and purge”. You can detox or (dump) too much if you are not also (purging) really well and sometimes you need more fiber or binding agents in your body to get it all OUT!
Basically… this is a lot of words to tell you that I do believe that there are some great basic detox methods which we have been doing for quite some time and steadily now, but I also know that it is extremely important to make sure you are also using other methods to detox and you should be alternating them constantly.
We are also doing these following detox’s:
Bentonite Clay
Activated Charcoal
Cholestyramine
Ionic Detox Footbaths
Dry Skin Brushing
We take Isagenix’s Cleanse 4 Life, Isa Flush, and Ionix Supreme
Cory is using Pekana Homeopathic Detox Drops
AND we both take some super duper awesome pre and probiotics!
We are also looking to buy a Far-Infrared Sauna soon as that is something that we need to do a few times each week.
I’ve been having some awful itching on my hands and clear tiny bumps all over my palms and up and down each finger… they are now incredibly dry and peeling. Just one of the many ways that detoxing has been effecting us.
After each IV treatment we wrestle with extreme fatigue, exhaustion, and often times horrible headaches along with the MOST intense brain fog and lack of being able to concentrate we’ve ever dealt with😬
Staying ahead of the detox game is the most important thing you can do in a Lyme and co-infection battle. If you are not careful you can go into organ failure, be extremely sick and in extreme cases… go septic and die. It is crucial to not only kill, but excrete these toxins in a timely and safe manner… but it takes so much time, energy and sooooooo much moolah.
If you are in a detox battle… stay the course and do not be afraid to change things up when they quit working for you… fight for the right answers, after all; you know your body better than anyone else!
