dieoff toxins may get re-used by lyme

[sleeperwoken]

I am so wigged out about this idea, but I have been reading new literature on dieoff and toxins. I started checking it out after my doctor told me about something she learned at an LLMD conference.

Apparently, the neurotoxins that are left when a spirochete is killed are useful to the remaining lyme parasite. It latches on to the toxins and fuels itself with it. That is disgusting, but I have seen this information in more than one place since talking to my doctor. Toxins that are created from dead lyme redistribute into your body and that's why we feel so gross, but I had not idea that this stuff could help out the lyme.

Now that I know this, I think those detox baths are really important. I understand now why the cholestyramine helps me so much. It binds to the toxins and helps get them out of my body. I am really pleased with the results of this product and it is so inexpensive too. Drinking a lot of water seems to help also, as Laurie has always said.

Hope you are all progressing and enjoying your days as much as possible.

sleeperwoken,

Just looked up __ and then in trying to find a natural substance stumbled onto the following info and knew you'd want to take it into consideration.
What you are saying is interesting/yucky - I'm going to talk to my doc about going on drug... thanks!

In reference to cholestorol management drugs, Cholestyramine being on the list:

Nutritional Considerations: **The activity of statins and gemfibrozil may decrease coenzyme Q10 levels.
**Avoid grapefruit juice with all statins, except Pravastatin. Pravastatin does not seem to be affected by grapefruit juice.
**Do not take statins with niacin due to possible muscle weakness and wasting.
**Iron and zinc absorption may also be impaired with bile acid sequestrants.

Herbal Considerations: **Artichoke, garlic, ginger, guggulipid, plantain, and skullcap lower blood fat levels and theoretically, may have an additive effect if used with antihyperlipidemic drugs. Avoid these herbs with the above drugs.
