my liver enzymes were elevated and my doctor stopped my medication, the rifampin. I am still taking the azithryomycin nystatin and difucan.

I started taking charcoal and chorella 1 week ago, and my headaches are decreasing and I don't feel so bad. I also started on lamictal, and xanax with has helped my anger and anxiety.

I keep wondering if I am improving becasue of my meds for lyme or is it the addition of the charcoal and chorella. I can really see a difference since I started it. has anyone had this experience?

Charcoal and chorella are binders that many use. I used activated charcoal from time to time myself.

They bind to toxins - and any thing else that's near - so that the body has an easier time flushing them out. Toxins are what drives our symptoms when we are healing.

The "trick" is to have a 4 hour block of time that you aren't taking any meds, supplements, herbs, nutritional drinks, or food, as the binders will bind to those things instead of the toxins.

So be sure to take them 2 hours after any food, meds, nutritional drinks, herbs and so on and be sure to wait for 2 hours after taking the binder before taking those things again.

Mystery1, I am glad to read that you are doing better. Every person reacts differently to medication and supplements so what matters is that what you are doing is working for you.

Hopefully, your liver enzymes will drop back to normal so you can continue with your healing. Have you considered Milk Thistle to assist and protect your liver?

As for the Xanax, I carry it with me every where I go. It has been months since I have had to use it but when I have needed it, it has been my safety net that helps me cope with stressful situations.
