Neurotoxin/Biotoxin and Detox article

[sptcmom]

I found this very interestingly explained article. It answers a lot of my neurotoxin effects plus detox etc questions I've had. Very useful also to understand Dr Klinghardt's logic and approach. Its hardcore but for those into the facts this will be a good read I think.

I had a hard time following this article, but was wondering how one would stop the body from experiencing a second neurotoxic illness? Is the assumption that healing will occur once the body has removed the toxins? What if the toxins are not identified and the patient is being exposed every day? We need to not only focus on toxin elimination but also on identifying and avoiding these toxins that our bodies seem to no longer be able to process. Any thoughts?

One of the first questions both our LLMDs ask is about new exposure to anything and new tick bites. So, yes, the neurotoxins will reemerge if there is undetected or new issues going on. Thats why most LLMDs and lyme support groups are huge on preventative lifestyle changes and environmental modifications to keep out the triggers and ticks.

Undetected mold and other allergies can be a culprit. Its just a huge undertaking. I wish I could just build a little house on solid concrete, away from parks and woods, low tech, away from electric and cell towers and restart my life again. I am so tempted and its in my plans but is there even such a place anymore?

When my kids got sick with Lyme i was ready to find a place where there was no Lyme and move there-but there is no such place so I can relate to you wishing you could create a "safe" place to live. I do know that if we ever move I will have any prospective house checked for mold by a mold sniffing dog and I will test any house for electromagnetic pollution and be sure it is not under a power line or cell tower after all I have learned about such problems during our Lyme odyssey. I won't ever live in the woods either :-). Affter two years of dealing with Lyme and everyone ia better I can relax a little more than before anout the possibility of getying reinfected. Dr jones told me that the second time you get Lyme, if u r reinfected, is not as bad as the first because you know the symptoms and hit it earlier.
