Here's the verbose response: Subject: What is a Herx? Answer... Date sent:Sun, 19 Apr 1998 14:31:25 -5 I'm not as much of an expert as any of our Lyme sufferers, but I've heard them explain it often. The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction is named for the scientists who identified the condition. It came out of research into the treatment of Syphilis, which is the archtypical spirochete disease. It is caused by a sudden die-off of microbes as a result of treatment. The dead beasties dump their toxins and metabolites into your system all at once and it takes a while for your liver to filter out the poisons. You then suffer an apparent worsening of symptoms, or additional symptoms entirely the result of the reaction. A major herx, paradoxically, is a sign of hope and improvement for the lyme sufferer, as it means the treatment is actually getting to the damn bugs. Given many of these folks' difficulty in getting proper diagonsis and effective treatment, they're usually grateful to finally see something, anything, happen. The downside is that a sudden massive herx can be very stressful and even fatal. We're talking the potential for toxic shock. Somebody who's already sick and immune compromised, maybe having more than one infection, could get knocked on their butt in a hurry with too big an initial dose of colloidal silver. Severe Herx's can feature sudden fever, vomiting, diarrhea, fainting or dizziness (from low blood pressure), and skin rash. Like other kinds of shock, it may require urgent treatment if blood pressure drops too low. A mild herx, while uncomfortable, does not *require* treatment and will run its course by itself. In the Lyme treatment protocol on one of Advantage Pharmaceutical's web pages, you'll notice the emphasis on starting slowly, and gradually increasing the dose based on symptoms. This minimises the risk of triggering a massive Herx. The URL is: http://www.xpressnet.com/bhealthy/bodywght.html Don't interpret anything I say here as medical advice. I'm just repeating what I've found and read elsewhere and may have it all wrong. Be well, Mike D.

Re: insight/herx/Reid
Donna I hate to be the barrer of bad tidings but the twitches are caused by the nurves short circuiting and it takes one year for a nurve to heal. The twitching subsiding is good but don't expect it to quit real soon. Reid, Thanks for that info. That is good news to know. Compared to what it was in the beginning it is very weak now so maybe that is one symptom I can chalk up the saying that time heals all?? Donna Earnest Something that I forgot to mention is alot of sleep helps the healing along alot faster. The nurves are kind of like a wire with insulation that is brittle. The more you move them the more that they are going to short circuit and the longer time it's going to take them to heal.

Re: insight/herx
Whitney some more, Susan I feel really bad to keep hearing this. This is what I do for Herx whixh I nearly killed myself with once. I use: Digestive enzymes on an empty stomack--they go through the body and eat up trash like toxins and immune complexes--this is well documented now. I have done this for ten years--that's how many times I have had herx for Candida and whatever else. I take Mega Zyme by Enzymatic Therapy and 5 at once then 20-30 mins later 5 more. This WILL diminish your muscle pain and the twitching. You can continue until relieved, or sick to your stomach. The enzymes have worked as well or better than morphine. Molybdenum--250mcgms once to start aned then again amazing results alacer Emergen-C 2000mgms of vit C minerals stir into liquid fizzes, contiunue with the above upto whatever you can tolerate. Water in massive amounts. Soda water--Club soda read the label some have bicarbonate of soda in them and are great over ice when you are feeling so bad. COQ10 100 mgms 2-3X pewr day. Grape seed extract--the capsule 100mgms 2-3-4 times a day, or 2 at once with the enzymes for pain. You can also add the COQ 10 with it and it all workd together. Other antioxidants as you feel able or have on hand. You are probably saying right!? I'm so sick I can't even see and this woman is telling me to do all this stuff or even get it. Get someone to help you. OR When you are feeling better get these things and keep them on hand so that you won't be with out. when you are sick. I live alone so I have to be prepared especially when I know the results of what I am doing are more than likely going to cause me to herx!! You can take bicarbonate of soda now if you have some in a glass of water to help alkalinate the reaction. When you Herx you become more acid due to lots of factors not only just the toxins in your system. Your body is also producing catecholamines as a result of the insult these lead to inflammation of everything that can become inflamed. The problem here is that not properly taken care of this can become a cycle in itself. The enzymes will reduce the catecxholamines also. Hope this helps and your suffering eases soon.

I've found great benefit in using Beano to eat various vegetables and beef fat (sorry, haven't given beef up yet!) I'm curious about other enzymes; my allergies are causing continual mild upset stomachs. It causes me to crave carbohydrates which is likely over feeding candida, contributing to more hunger... I think the CS is helping keep candida in check. Never the less, due to allergies, I wake up feeling famished and find myself munching on junk all day long.
