Thank you for this reassuring post. Many times when we are not feeling well as we overcome this disease, it can cause us to have negative thoughts. At times, I have been one of those people. Your advise of understanding the herx as a good thing, is very important.
The following is the definition of a herx from an article in the LDRD Journal:
"Herxing occurs when your body reacts to bacterial die-off. The herx itself isn't considered dangerous to your health, but it can be extremely unpleasant. Your body is cleansing itself of toxins, a crucial step. The problem is that this cleansing process stirs up symptoms and makes you feel sick."
Next time anyone is feeling sick due to herxing, recognize it as a positive part of healing and count it as a blessing!
In Christ Love,
Laura |
