Treatment help, guidance needed

see if you can get to an infrared sauna. worked well for me

Laugh and live I can so relate.

When I did Beyond Balance I did Tox Ease GL 3 times a day. The first day I did one drop 3 times a day. By the end of the week I was doing an entire dropper full 3 times a day.

It is an excellent detoxing combination of herbs. I never had any trouble with it at all.

I also started very slow with MC-BB-1 for lyme disease. I was not tested for co infections because I did not want to waste my money on a test that was fallible. I could find no recommendation for taking the co infection tests. So if they are not reliable, why take it???

Anyway, I did the same procedure with Beyond Balance MC-BB-1 as I did for the Tox Ease GL. I started with one drop on the first day. Second day, I did one drop 3 times a day and I went up to 1 dropper full 3 times a day by the end of the week.

Hope this is helpful. Just remember that we are all different and I have not seen one person heal exactly the same way as another person. We all have to find our own paths to healing.

Oh and keep asking questions! That is how I made it to being healed. I asked questions and learned a lot from this forum.

Laugh and live,

You sound a lot like me. I have great difficulty detoxing. I started with a Functional MD, who diagnosed me with CIRS from mold exposure and later tested me for Lyme. I just found out the first of this year I have Lyme and coinfections after struggling with bizarre unexplained symptoms for 7.5 years.

Even though the Functional MD knew I had trouble detoxing, she never stopped to dig deeper and find out why. I guess she didn't know how. She just kept telling me, "I think you're just really sensitive." After 8 months I stopped paying her to go around in circles with me and started Buhner's protocol on my own. While I have had some improvements (in 7th month of doing Buhner's), I also have some regrets.

Two years ago I suddenly developed IBS-C. No doctor I saw from the GP to the gastroenterologist to the Functional MD did a comprehensive stool analysis. I also never had nutrient analysis, food allergy/sensitivity testing, genetic testing for methylation/detox issues, HPU/KPU testing, or even direct or indirect labs via Labcorp that may have given clues about my detox difficulties. Now, I'm no less sensitive than I was a year ago, still can't detox well in spite of doing all the standard detox stuff except sauna, still have unresolved IBS that I don't know the direct cause of, and am still moving at snail's pace with the herbs because that's all I can handle. I've been out of work with no income since the end of March. I'm running out of my life savings, and in spite of consulting with an LLMD, I still have no valid answers regarding my sensitivity, detox issues, or gut dysfunction.

I have been very disappointed with the doctors I've seen. They're not thorough. They don't take every piece of the puzzle into consideration up front. They didn't test things that I think they should have. Instead, they just jump in with their assumptions and their standard protocols that they use on everybody else. I feel like a guinea pig who's paying a lot of money to be a guinea pig. I resent it and think doctors should be better than that, especially when they're being paid of pocket.

Sorry for all the ranting. I said all that to maybe save you from getting stuck like I feel I am. I would like to have some of those tests done, but now it would be very difficult. For many of them, I would likely have to stop most if not all of my herbs and supplements before doing the tests, and I'm afraid to stop. Also, since I no longer have income, I can't afford most of it anymore. In the beginning, I kept thinking it wouldn't be that hard and I didn't really have to do ALL that stuff and address every possible issue to get well, and didn't need to have a bunch of expensive tests, etc. But here I am a year later, still struggling with detox and treating at snail's pace. Would my present circumstances be any better if I had done all those tests and tried to treat whatever issues were uncovered??? I don't know. The not knowing is the hardest part of all of this, I guess.

Just try to step back and evaluate your personal symptoms, life history, personal experiences with treatments and doctors, and your financial situation and ability to work. Think about what's most important to you and get a preliminary plan for how you want to approach this. It could save you time, money, and frustration. Just don't wait too long to take action. It's better to do something than to do nothing at all.

Thank you all for your replys. This is all so new and overwhelming! I seemed to handle all my issues better when I didn't know what caused them. Have been to rheumatologist, neurologists, and cardiologists like many others over the past 6 years.


PeteZa Glad the beyond balance worked well for you. It is obviously killing something in me with the bad herx that it causes me. Have t decided if I will try it a third time. If I do, I was thinking maybe three days on and 4 days off.

Girlie- my Dr downplayed detoxing so much and really left me confused about it. I asked about activated charcoal and was pretty much told not to use it. Same with alka seltzer gold.

Dr did have me on beyond balance tox ease capsule, but told me to stop after the first herx I had. I had been on it for over a month before I started the babs 1 drops. Is it for the liver? I try to eat broccoli several times a week.

I take Dr Ohhiras probiotics 1 capsule twice a day. Try to drink Kefer and eat yogurt daily.

Have been taking Epson salt baths when I ache, sometimes they have been daily, sometimes twice a week. I dry skin brush daily.

Dr said not to take the Burbur and pinella, so I have not, but I do have a bottle of each.

I still work full time, although I rarely work a 40 week, just get too tired, so I hope that qualifies as exercise.

I have read the detox web site many times, but have been afraid to try them since Dr said so many not necessary.


Walkingbyfaith- I think I am a lot like you. Dr told me I was sensitive. You have given me a lot of things to look into.

Bluelyme- bees and I don't mix well. I will look into rife though.
