How often do you detox?

I usually do my detox baths twice a week...the last few days I've taken one every day, and today I've noticed a lot less tremors, feel clearer, and my heartbeat seems a little more normal...

I also upped my meds last month, so maybe they're just starting to work, but I was thinking maybe I'm more toxic than I thought, and maybe that's what's causing some of my symptoms to hang around.

What symptoms do you guys have increase when you slack on detox, and how many times a week do you do it? Is every day too much?

There have been studies showing heavy metals hanging out with pathogens. Then there are the neurotoxins from Lyme and in my case, certain mold toxins (black mold) can really make me sick.

For metals, I take Jarrow Heavy Metal Detox twice a day. It's just a couple of mild ingredients, so I don't set too much stuff loose. I can't take chlorella or spirulina because of what Traveler said -- big reaction.

I take some of the Cowden Nutramedix herbs, and half of them are to promote detox. If I remember, Burbur, Parsley, and Noni. I take chlorophyllin because I have aflatoxin poisoning (it's on peanuts and corn) and problematic genetics; chlorophyllin protects the liver from aflatoxin.

For daily, I do the dry brushing to increase lymph flow. If you can exercise, bouncing on a small trampoline is supposed to help.

I envy you the baths. I don't know if you can do too much, but like Traveler said, go by your reactions. If more poison is set loose than our bodies can get rid of, then we can hurt ourselves. It's tricky!

Hoping others will chime in, this is a huge issue for me. My doctor ran Detoxigenomics and I have a bunch of broken detox enzymes. I suspect a lot of us have some of those.

Detoxigenomics may not still be around. It is a partial gene test which looks at certain key detoxifying enzymes and whether you have a mutation in any of them.

I recently got the 23andme genetics test, and I just downloaded the raw data to a program on mthfrsupport dot com. For $20, it printed out all my risky mutations.

There are a lot! I don't know how many others have, though. I think I will price a consultation, they have a couple of doctors on there you can contact. I don't know anything about this stuff, need help.

Have you heard of 23andme? It was $99 when I got it. It also tells you things about ancestry. They used to tell you some genetic risk factors, but the FDA put the kibosh on that. But they do give you access to your raw data, and hundreds of SNP's (single nucleotide polymorphisms) that are connected to various problems.

It's really useful if you suspect you have trouble that isn't explained by the doctors. For example, I have 3 SNP's on the SOD2 enzyme. That's a really important enzyme that is needed after energy is produced in the mitochondria. It changes the hydroxyl radical (very inflammatory) into something harmless. So my body has a tendency to inflammation.

Stuff like that. Sorry I'm not more help
