is it safe to detox while on treatment? - Lyme Disease Message Board

zandvoort · 08-01-2007, 04:35 AM

I would like to do a program by Dr Natura- colonix. Is something like that too strong or is it ok? I have never detoxed before and I really want to get the toxins out of me as I do treatment. I am also planning to take pro biotics and do detox baths.
Thanks!

Hi zandvoort. Dextox is good, but I don't know about doing a colonic while one treatment. It may be too intense. Ask your doctor.

You can do the detox baths (start off with just a few minutes to see how you react and use warm not hot water).

Exercising as much as possible, eating healthy, and drinking a lot of water are also very beneficial.

If your liver is healthy, taking the supplement Milk Thistle is helpful to keep liver enzymes normal.

Hi J. For the detox bath, add four cups of Epsom Salts, 8 ounces of baking soda, and 32 ounces of hydrogen peroxide to a warm (not hot) bath and soak for at least twenty minutes. Use a dry skin brush and brush your skin in circular motions toward the heart before you get in to the tub. Target carries all of these items, and they are pretty inexpensive.

A good foot bath is to add one tablespoon of mustard powder and one teaspoon of cayenne pepper to a basin of warm water and soak your feet for at least twenty minutes. You can use the skin brush on your feet before soaking them.

Depending on where you are in treatment, these may be beneficial or detrimental. I suggest doing them for only a few minutes at a time to see how they effect you.

Exercise is also very beneficial for many reasons, including that it increases the oxygen level in the body and can raise the body temperature.
