pandakid11 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hi I bought liquid oxygen and took normal dose expecting to feel better but got crushed with a massive herx. I am assuming the oxygen killed off a bunch? I just don't quite get how oxygen can make you this much worse? The herx was as bad as my last bout of doxycycline. I just cannot take the herxing. Anyone else experience? I am dealing with lyme and my son has pandas/myco so times are tough.. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelTampa Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm not familiar with liquid oxygen, not sure exactly what this is, maybe you could post a link to the product, or explain it a little more. But, I will say, before I knew I had lyme, I used an oxygen concentrator for 2 hrs a day for a couple months. I was wearing a mask and inhaling air that a machine was creating from the household air that had aboug 97% oxygen in it. Similar to buying those 100% oxygen tanks and inhaling from that (not that I've ever done that). For reference, people believe the earth, pre-industrial, had air that was about 30% oxygen, and now it is perhaps 20%, although Los Angeles is maybe 10%, and certainly, over oceans it is more and in big cities it is less. I was doing this to address fatigue. By the end of each session, I was kind of light-headed and foggy-thinking and tired. The timing was normally done in the evenings, just because that's when I had time, so I normally went from there to bed, so it wasn't a problem. If anything, the daziness made sleep come easier. But, looking back, I do feel it probably was a "herx" of sorts, from killing various bugs. So, I do believe high concentrations of oxygen can kill bugs and cause symptoms from that.
