It's not an herb but one of my LLMD's Rx-ed cholestyramine and it helped me tolerate antibiotics a lot and got rid of the horrible toxic feeling I got during treatment. I only used it later in my treatment, so I have no idea if it would have helped much early on.
Wow, thanks. I never heard of Alk Gold before. After googling it,I see its on other lyme boards.
"Alka-Selzer gold -
It is usually used to control the symptoms of a herx and help keep the body alkaline. It is also very effective for headaches, especially migraines.
One word of caution is that it has bicarbonate in it. It you rely on it on a regular basis it will destroy your stomach acid, as that is essentially what it is, an antacid.
"Active Ingredients: Each tablet contains:: Sodium Bicarbonate (958 mg (Heat Treated)), Citric Acid (832mg), Potassium Bicarbonate (312 mg)
Inactive Ingredients: Magnesium Stearate, Mannitol"
Fresh lemon juice in water or powdered vitamin C in water may be better, if you need to use it frequently. Lemons are alkalizing, too.
# For Herxheimer reactions:
2 Alka-Selzer Gold (no aluminum)
in 8 ounces of water with lemon or lime
followed by 6-8 capsules of glutathione or 1500 mg or oral liposomal glutathione.
70% will fell better in hours
# On the topic of water:
Dilution is the solution to pollution. This suggests that in order to help our bodies detoxify, we must drink more water" "
Alka Seltzer Gold is the "in" detox method since Dr Horowitz's book just came out with it mentioned inside. I prefer activated charcoal capsules.
" Skipped the antibiotics 1 day last week and felt better that afternoon and night, coincidence?"
Probably.
oops, word missing............has anyone had much LUCK with easing the herx reaction getting the debris out faster?
