The Herxheimer Reaction:The Herxheimer (Herx) Effect is an immune system response to toxic chemicals (endotoxins) released in the blood & tissue by parasites & pathogens killed off by medication. It's also called the Parasite Die-Off Syndrome.Simply stated, the reaction occurs when the body is detoxifying & released toxins either worsen the symptoms being treated or create their own.
As a result, you might feel worse before feeling better. Although you may not feel very well, the Herx effect is actually a sign that healing is taking place.The important thing is worsening symptoms do not indicate failure of the treatment. In fact, it's usually just the opposite.The biggest problem occurs when you stop taking the meds causing the reaction. And thus discontinue the very treatment that is helping to cure your condition!History Of Herx:The phenomenon was first described by Adolf Jarisch (1860-1902) working in Austria & by Karl Herxheimer (1861-1942) working in Germany.Both doctors were dermatologists treating syphilitic lesions of the skin. They noticed that in response to treatment, many patients developed not only fever, perspiration, night sweats, nausea, & vomiting, but their skin lesions became larger & more inflamed before settling down & healing.Interestingly, they found that those who had the most extreme reactions healed the best & fastest. The patient might be ill for 2-3 days, but then their lesions resolved.Common Herx Symptoms:As the body detoxifies, you might experience flu-like symptoms including headache, joint & muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea, flushes, rashes, or other symptoms.These reactions vary widely & depend on many factors: Your general health, condition being treated, degree of toxicity in your body, frequency & dosage of medication, & support you provide your body in eliminating the toxins.Herx Time Frames:There's differing data on timing of a Herx reaction. Some indicate it's 4-24 hours from onset of treatment, & others note the response occurs after 3-5 days or even later. Duration also varies widely, from an hour or a few hours to days or even a week.What appears to be most accurate is that reaction times ~ & indeed whether there will be any reaction at all ~ are strictly dependent on the individual being treated.What To Do For A Herx Reaction:If it's mild enough that you can bear it without extreme discomfort, the best approach is to continue treatment & assist the body in eliminating toxins as quickly as possible by the methods below.If it's severe, cutting back on the dosage or frequency of meds can help to lessen symptoms but still allow the healing process to continue. Sometimes stopping for a day or so & then beginning again at a lesser dosage can allow for quick relief.The best assistance for the body is drinking plenty of fluids daily (8 glasses, 8oz ea).Other helpful suggestions:~ Get plenty of sunshine & fresh air.~ Minimize exercise for the detox period ~ rest as much as possible.~ Keep organs of elimination functioning properly (bowels, lungs, skin, kidneys, & lymph).~ Keep the diet light so the body isn't loaded with added chemicals & toxins to eliminate.~ Take Vitamin C, 1000-3000mg, daily.~ Drink 1/2 squeezed lemon in 4 oz water, 2-4 times daily.~ Take cold-press olive oil first thing in the morning.~ Take sea salt or epson salts baths or steam baths & saunas.~ Take oral antihistamines for itching, rashes, & swelling.The most important advice for a Herx reaction is to “bear with the process." It's usually over within a few days & is well worth the cleansing & healing results.Just remember: "If it doesn't kill ya, it'll make ya stronger" ~ lol.Cheers ~~ ICU

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,617,480I use copious amounts of antioxidants. Vitamin C works best for me, I prefer ascorbates, I also use to bowel tolerance. I just completed a 2 day purge using 30,000 mgs per day before I got the toxins broken up.

This is a reply to # 1,618,357Vitamin C in the common form is called ascorbic acid which tends to be more acidic whereas Ascorbates are more alkaline. The reason for this is that the vitamin c is bound to an alkaline mineral (calcium, magnesium, sodium or potassium) thus rendering it less acidic.
It could be the acidic nature of ascorbic acid or it could be that the vitamin c is acting as it should in that it is neutralizing toxins which the kidney is trying to process and expel. Are you drinking adequate amounts of water to flush the toxins out of the kidneys? Perhaps you should look at some of the herbal formulas that support kidney health. Many of them are the same such as this product from Solaray http://vitanetonline.com/description/260/vitamins/Kidney-Blend-SP-6/

This is a reply to # 1,618,640I would add that I am not sure if I would using high doses of vitamin c during drug protocols, as it could be neutralizing the pharamceuticals thus rendering them less effective. This is my theory anyhow. For example I know a friend who did some different antioxidants (EDTA, vitamin c?) before going to the dentist in which he needed higher levels of novacaine, was this due to the antioxidants? - Re: Vitamin C is the miracle

This is a reply to # 1,618,640Well, I guess I'd have to say yes and no to both your questions. I try to drink lots of water but some days I know I don't get enough. It seems I dehydrate much more quickly than is normal.
As far as kidney support, I'm on so much stuff now and need lots more. I should also be doing more for my thyroid, adrenals and liver. It gets overwhelming trying to figure out what the hell has been wrong with me all these years and to do something productive about it instead of just spend more money. Seems like there's always something else I should/could try. Sorry, I guess this ended up in a rant.
I'll get some vit C Ascorbates and give it a try. I know I need more C.

This is a reply to # 1,618,357Ascorbic acid hurt my back also (at around 16g/day).. What helped was increasing magnesium (magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate in my case). I usually take 1500mg/day but doubled or tripled it.
Mixing with sodium ascorbate might work better if you can tolerate the sodium.
