I'm sorry to be posting so much lately. Just yesterday my suspicions were confirmed that I do have Lyme. Is there anything I should be doing now before I start treatment? Is there anything that I can do now that would benefit me?

I have already started some detoxing: lemon water, dry skin brushing & Epsom salt baths.

That's a great start! You can also be sure your diet is good. No highly processed foods, no sugar (I use stevia), low carb is good to help you avoid Candida issues and probiotics also. On the probiotics, get one with as many strains as you can afford, and start off on a low dose and raise it up slowly so that by the time you start treatment or soon after you are taking a minimum of 50,000 units daily.

Like Traveler said, you are on a great start!

I think it is really beneficial to have a journal. Just to keep track of what you take, when and how you feel. It is a great reference item.

I had to learn to say NO. In order to avoid stress I had to say no to many functions, volunteering positions and family get togethers. That was hard for me but essential for my health.

I also had to learn to take better care of me and not everyone else. When I got tired, I rested and did not feel guilty.

Practicing those before you start treatment will make things easier.

You are off to a great start with the detoxing methods you're using. And, you can certainly add to your daily detoxing protocol as you are able.

In the event you didn't get a chance to read it, here's a link to a recent thread wherein members shared what they are doing for detoxing:

Maybe you might want to incorporate a few more methods including something for liver support....and also a binder (taken 3 hrs. away from EVERYthing).

Not surprisingly, I agree with the suggestions Traveler and PeteZa made ;) It's really important to make choices that will help you heal and not hinder healing.

Do you have any dental work (silver fillings, crowns, etc)? Silver mercury fillings can hinder treatment. Things stalled for me, then moved forward after I got all the mercury fillings out of my head.

An IOAMT dentist is the only way to safely remove these fillings. I wish I'd done this before I started treatment.

I have benonite clay (I think that's what it's called). It is Sonne's No. 7. Would that be safe to take? Any suggestions for taking it when I have to take my thyroid medicine first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

You could take it in the evening - maybe just before bed? just make sure you're not taking anything within two hours on either side.
And...drink a full glass of water with it.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that particular binder.. Another forum member may be able to comment on that.

Faith, add apple cider vinegar as well, it is great for detox.

sayyadina, in which way dental fillings hindered your treatment?
