Glutathione herx?

Hi everyone,

I hope this finds you well today.

So, I just started taking glutathione injections, and last night I had my second injection. I did too much in December and have been experiencing more pain than I'd like to, but after taking the injection last night the pain seems to have gone through the roof.

I know that glutathione is supposed to help us detox (and my lab results showed very low numbers prior to starting treatment), but is it possible to herx from these shots? I called my doctor and the nurse I spoke to said that I should not have a herx; however, other Lymies have told me that it is definitely possible.

The only other thing I added yesterday was berberine complex, fermented veggie juice, and a different probiotic. I'm not currently on any antimicrobials/antibiotics bc I'm trying to address candida (+3).

I would so appreciate your thoughts!

Glutathione helps the body detox. If your levels were low it may mean that now that it is being corrected - glutathione can actually get the toxins out of your body which might be what you are feeling. Go slow and if you keep feeling ill make sure you get in touch with the dr. I wouldn't expect a herx to last too long from a supplement.

Berberine is a pretty strong antimicrobial. I was on it for about a month. I didn't notice any reaction to it, but I don't know if that is common or not. I hope you feel better soon!
