Hello Everyone, I've been really going through some herxing lately, and it has had its scary moments. That made me start to think about how scary it would be for someone who didn't have much background knowledge about what's going on. As I've mentioned in an earlier post this week, I'm not a newby, so I've had a chance to pick up some knowledge along the way. Because of this, I thought I'd share some information in a post about these things in the hopes it might make things easier for anyone coming behind me. Before I start, I'd like to throw in my usual disclaimers. I'm not a research scientist...I do understand a few key things about research and know that in a perfect world, I probably should find the actual research on anything I state, evaluate the research according to a set of guidelines I learned in a graduate class, and then choose information to share from the best articles and THEN cite it all according to APA or MLA guidelines...BUT...school is OUT for the summer, and I'm not going to go to all that trouble. Plus...after I did all that, it would probably be so boring, no one would want to read it. What I'm about to share is from "things I've read" and "things I've heard" along the way including things my doctor told me. I believe the information is reasonable and makes sense, and it's certainly in line with what I've experienced with symptoms of this illness. Ok...enough disclaimers...here's the info in bullet points: * Before we get sick, we usually get bitten by something. The thing that bites us is called the vector. It carries bad stuff. If it has borrelia, you could get Lyme Disease. * Whatever gets into your system from the thing that bites you might or might not stay dormant for a while. If it's stayed dormant, at some point stress, a toxic lifestyle, living in a toxic world, etc. can all lead to the expression of symptoms. Or...your first symptoms might be something like collembola right after you got bitten by something. Collembola is basically a mite on a mite...super microscopic. In many cases this comes from a bird mite...a mite on a bird mite...and it gets under your skin and drives you nuts. That's why we read about how so many people started getting sick after they came into contact with a bird's nest. * After a while, your immune system starts to go down...and then you might start seeing symptoms of Morgellons Disease. * If you've been reading online for a while in an attempt to get rid of the collembola, you'll recognize those symptoms. * Those symptoms are driven from four kinds of pathogens...bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic. * These pathogens are SMART and they tear our immune systems apart. They have "learned" to band together and make life very miserable for us in an attempt to survive. * When they band together, they exchange dna among themselves and then jack with our dna (forgive the less than professional term...but I'm not a professional...not in this area, anyway). When they band together, that's called a "quorum" and they can do it often and morf around all kinds of ways to stay resistant to anything we try to throw at them. * In these quorums, they create something called a biofilm inside our bodies and even on our skin. They hide out in these biofilm, and that's what makes it hard for blood tests to pick up what's going on with us sometimes. * That's also why it's hard to hit it and get rid of it with antibiotics. They'll run away, morf with each other, and hide out in biofilm and then if you don't kill all of them off, the rest of them will morf into a bigger monster...more resistant to treatment. * The good news is that the natural way (our protocol) to deal with these thugs is effective...even though it takes time and discipline. Ok...enough about biofilms and thug pathogens. Here are some details about herxing. * Herxing is a reaction to pathogens dying off. When pathogens die off, they give off endotoxins. Endotoxins are toxic...and if you get enough dying off at the same time, you can feel really sick. * Sometimes a biofilm can break open during the course of our recovery...and that's a good thing. If it's a big enough biofilm, you might get a big hit of endotoxins in your system. If that happens, you'll feel pretty bad for a while. What I didn't know, but learned along the way is that there are all kinds of herx symptoms...and here are some: * Nausea * Headache * Joint aches * Shaking * Dizziness * Weakness * Fatigue * Purging There are probably more...but those are some I can remember right now. Sometimes we live every day with a low level herx...just fatigue. My doctor is the one who told me that fatigue was actually a herx. Sometimes, we get to enough WPS drops, or just an accumulation of taking supplements and we rip open a biofilm and deal with a big herx. Those are not fun...but drinking a lot of water and then going straight to bed can help. I've recently discovered something else. Diet can lead to herxing. So...case in point...the keto diet. I've probably bored the entire reading audience extensively about the keto diet, but I'll say it again for anyone who doesn't understand the basic premise. Keto forces you to cut down on carbs to a very low level. Carbs turn to sugar in our systems...and these pathogens feed on carbs. I've recently gotten very disciplined with cutting my carbs way down...less than 20 a day. What has happened has been a "starving out" of pathogens...and the subsequent die off from this has put me in a few days of some pretty intense herxing...just from diet! That really made me think. I know there are many people out there who cannot yet afford the protocol. When this happened, it occurred to me how helpful it could be to just cut down net carbs to 20 or less. If you are reading this and don't know how to do that, all you do is find the number of carb grams and subtract the number of fiber grams and you get net carbs. If you do this, you can really make a difference in killing off pathogens. If you do this AND are on the protocol, you'll really see a difference in your recovery. I did go through a mighty challenging herx from this, but have now come out on the other side and I feel SO much better and my symptoms have decreased significantly. That's the good thing about a herx...it usually precedes a change for the better. It's kind of like the wall of flames you have to jump through to get to the other side. Ok...sorry this is so long...but I hope it helps anyone who cares to read it. Love, Karen | |||

Hi All , Just to clarify last post , I don't use Soda and Epson salts at the same time These I use in separate baths both are Beneficial for me and it helps.. I have used a few drops 4 or so of Lavender essential oil and I have used 2 or 3 drops of peppermint essential oil In my bath as well but to much peppermint Will not be good for sure, it will make you Very cold so I would be very conservative When using peppermint you can give it A try and see how you like it.. I would encourage reading the journey's Of the community members who came Before us and that are now well , see how They did along with what methods they Used and give it a try ... you can research Which essential oils are best for you skin And that help eradicate this disease .. God Bless Everyone... | |||
