Microsilica and other detox agents

[sptcmom]

Does anybody do microsilica and bentonite/charcoal/chlorella together? How do you dose it? Can someone please share any info they might have. Im trying to do my own thing yet again and help DS with his heavy herx he's had since we switched over to Zith. Am wondering if I can do microsilica and bentonite together?

Wouldn't too much detox cause a herx too?

I am dizzy with all this. Poor DS had strep exposure so he was ramped up. In order to help him we changed over to Zith 250 mgs BID. That is now causing herxing so he's ramped up! Oh boy! I wish this herxing business wouldn't happen. yesterday along with his arms, legs, head and torso all spasming and shaking, he started teeth grinding and his TMJ was hurting. He's asking me mom how the heck is zith helping? I explained herxing and he seemend satisfied that there was a logical explanation and it was temporary. Poor guy.

 

Meanwhile Im herxing too and DS and I both keep forgetting his school stuff, keep blaming each other, theres yelling and frustration and then I realize whoa- Im the adult here! thats how bad my mental fog is! I actually regress chronologically when under stress!LOL. Have to up my yoga today! LOL. Not really LOL you guys, just a bitter sweet laugh as we try to stay on this long Lyme journey......

Hi Jodie,

 

Sorry... can't help on your question of that particular detox combo.

 

I just wanted to ask if you think the increase to BID of zith is too much? and causing way too much die-off and herx. My daughter would not have been able to tolerate BID (and kept to 250 mg SID throughout).

 

Hope things get better soon.

Hey Mary

I thought the same initially but he was on 2200mgs of combined abx a day just until recently so going down all the way to just 250 of zith just once a day was VERY scary to me. His school has so much strep and viruses and he still reacts.

Don't know any more.

Yes, I understand your thought on relating it to the total abx dosage. I just wanted to post a caution on the zith specifically because of it's exceptionally long half life in the body (68 hours).

 

Hope he is feeling better. Remember, there are the cyclical flares in symptoms that will continue until treatment is complete. I know... it's hard to sort it all out sometimes.
