. OT: herxheimer reactions

[Guest guest]

Herxheimer response occurs when the bacterial cell breaks apart and dies.But ,when it breaks apart it releases toxins, often neurotoxins into the blood stream.When it does this, it can cause a symptom flare up.Noted here is thast this means you have lowered your infection load which is good, but you must do things to reduce the burden of the toxins on the body by detoxing.small to medium herxes are okay as long as you continue to detox. A heavy herx can cause damage.Often, when a person follows a good detox plan the effects of the herx is much less.There are people who do

not herx, yet they seem to get better.IMHO its that their body has a greater capacity for detox.( that is, unless the bacteria has morphed into cyst form, in which case it needs tp be brought out again by dissolving the cysts biofilmjan. OT: herxheimer reactions Posted by: "jesusislord887" steppingstone3@... jesusislord887 Date: Thu Oct 27, 2011 9:45 pm ((PDT))Dear Lyme and Rife yahoo group: I had

listened earlier this evening to a free webinar on Candida over-growth and cleansing. One of the speakers on this webinar mentioned about herxheimer reactions with trying to clear candida overgrowth. The person said something like that a herxheimer reaction was actually a reaction that poisons oneself. So, my impression prior to her saying this was that a herxheimer reaction was actually a good thing...that whatever protocol is working. However, according to what she was saying, it sounded like she was saying this was not a good thing. So, I would like to hear what others might say about this concept she was commmunicating...is a herxheimer reaction at all (with Lyme Disease or anything else) actually okay (or even a good thing) if in moderation or is it not good at all? Sincerely, in Christ Jesus,
